Charmed

Earth, Somewhere in Arizona

Gwen had been waiting months for this convention. She and her brother Rex had put countless hours into each other’s costume. Gwen had gone with her favorite rendition of Charmcaster from Ben 10, the one she created for her fan fiction. The story wasn’t very popular, just a simple Alternate Universe where Charmcaster got the Omnitrix instead of that dork Tennyson.

Gwen’s uncle was a tailor, and he had gotten both Rex’s and her own costume just perfect. The material had the perfect shade of Fuchsia and Royal Purple, her uncle even got the outfit to shine the same way it did in the show. That didn’t mean that Gwen let his uncle have all the fun though. She didn’t have much experience in the craft, but Gwen thought she did a pretty good job making Charmcaster’s Golem Bag, or whatever it was called. Gwen even dyed her hair silver. She looked exactly like Charmcaster and nothing was going to stop her from enjoying herself!

“Come on baby, don’t you want to praise the sun with me?”

At least she would have if this weirdo dressed Solaire of Astora would stop bugging her.

“Why don’t you go pray somewhere else before I make you see stars matchstick.” Gwen growled, raising her staff, a large branch she found, at the man. Gwen didn’t know what he was asking for honestly. But the way he was coming on to her had some disturbing undertones. That, and he was honestly pissing her off.

At the threat of physical trauma the would be knight got the hint,, and left without another word. Just as my brother Rex was returning with a pair of slushies. Out of the two, Rex had the more experience at conventions. He was also dressed up Rex Salazar from that show, Generator Rex.

“Freak.” Gwen muttered darkly as she took one the frozen treats.

“What happen while was gone...hermana menor?” Rex asked, still not used to talking in spanish.

Gwen sighed knowing that her brother wouldn’t let her get away with just saying ‘nothing.’ “Just some weirdo getting to into his fan base. He was asking me if I knew how to ‘praise the sun’ and if I wanted to do it with him, which could have either been an insult, or wanted to have sex with me.” Gwen shuddered at the thought of even possibly being interested of the Knight of Sir Cambell’s Chicken Noodle. “Anyway a promise of violence got him to leave.” I finished, taking a sip of my drink to metaphorically wash away the unpleasant taste.

"Maybe he thought you were a falso gamer girls?" he said chuckling at his own joke as I lightly punched him in the shoulder.

“Shush you, even if that was his case, I’m sure I could have had him praising the Nine Divines by daybreak.” I said in my best suggestive voice, which wasn’t very good to be honest.

Rex dramatically looked horrified, “I don’t want those images in my cabeza sis!”

“Can we go look for some people dressed as the Caesar’s Legion now?” Rex asked pointing outside, probably to get far away from the previous topic.

Gwen rolled her eyes at her supposedly older brother’s antics. "What is it with you and bugging the Legion?" She asked as we walked out looking for that group.

"That answer is simple my dear camarada...'NCR 4 life'… that and we must be a strong people and to do so, we must keep others safe!" Rex hammily preached.

One Hour Later

After the duo had cleared the area of all Legion scum in what would be later known as the battle of ‘why are these profligate pelting us with water balloons!?’ they decided that it would be a good time to split up and buy some swag. To make things more interesting, Gwen and Rex made a bet: who ever had the most and best swag won. Who ever lost would have to buy the winner dinner.

Gwen ran into the stall and was immediately and cheerfully greeted by the supposed owner of the stall.

“Well hello to you, fair Charmcaster. Lemondrop?” The old man was dressed as Dumbledore from Harry Potter, at least, Gwen hoped he was. Otherwise the bright yellow robes, long night cap, and even longer snow white beard really spoke a lot about what this man thought about appearances. Though it was the best Dumbledore she had ever seen, he even had the twinkling eyes! Even better was that he knew her character! Maybe she could get a discount!

“Hello Headmaster! And no thank you!” Gwen responded, matching the old mans cheer. She then went about browsing his wares. She found a lot of different and interesting merchandise, most of it was replicas of items from video games, cartoons, or a comic book. All of it was pretty baller, but wasn’t until I found a duplicate of Charmcaster’s Spellbook did I know what I was going to buy.

Bringing the tome up to Not-Dumbledore I asked how much it was “How much for this tome?” He looked at the tome for a second before looking at me and scratching what i thought was a fake beard.

“This tome is... i would say 50 dollars but since your costume goes so well with it ill bring it down to 25 and throw in this amulet just for you.” He said smiling as i pulled out my wallet.

Before i placed the money on the counter i asked “Okay what’s the catch?” he looked at me again.

“Well the catch is that you don’t tell anyone i'm doing this for you. I don’t want a bunch of people coming here expecting a discount on items” He said keeping that smile going as i placed the money on the counter. “Now then why don’t you put the Amulet on?” he asked.

As soon as he asked that i raised my eyebrow wondering why he would want to see me put it on. But i didn’t go far into it jumping to the conclusion that he just wants to see how it looks on me.

As i put it on a bright light started to emerge from the Amulet creating a blinding flash causing me to disappear.

A Significant Amount Of Time Later, Modern Equestria

In the ancient abandoned castle ruins that once belonged to the royal pony sisters a purple energy orb started to appear in a flash as power started to build up from it and finally the energy stopped as a body landed on the ground semi-conscious.

She grabbed her head as she gets up from the ground wondering out loud where she was. "Hello?" she shouted not getting a response "'Hello?" she shouted again getting nothing but silence. "What happened here?" she mumbled to herself as she inspected the ruined bedroom. The room might have been beautiful at one point but now it was nothing but a wreck some of the walls collapsed what ever filled the bed has all but rotted away and the mirror was cracked. "This place must have been Deserted for at least..." she stopped mid sentence to wipe dust from the nearby stone wall "At Least a couple centuries."

She looked around the ruined room again wondering "How far did my spell take me?" She asked to nobody in particular before sighing and deciding that its pointless to stay in these ruins with no reason. "If I remember correctly I should cling to the left wall to find my way out." She said before realizing "Why Am I talking to myself?" she asked walking along the wall before coming to a fork in the hall just a couple minutes later “great” she muttered to herself while trying to decide which was the correct way to go.

A Couple of Hours Later

It took a couple hours to get out of the castle it might have taken less time if i hadn’t chosen the wrong path twice. As i left the raggedy rope bridge thanking talos that it did not break on me i stepped on the dirt path with more questions coming to me 'where i'm i? How far did my spell take me? and what was this foreboding tingle crawling up my spine and a dark energy engulfing the area.' as i looked up i could not for the life of me see the skies above the tree line.

Some time passed as I walked through the strange forest i noticed a bunch of ‘unusual’ trees in a clearing. They seemed to have human like faces and the look of them also seems to indicate that there were used once to scare off intruders, who would come this far into the forest? But i could not sense any magic on them that would properly indicate this. It did raise a couple questions but none that i wanted answers right away.

After some more time passed as i continued walking down the forest path as i noticed that there were no sounds coming from the forest. It honestly creeped me out that I was in a silent forest. Some time after realising that the forest was quiet i came upon a river and decided that i should take a drink. But as i bended over to take a drink i saw the dirt path on the other side of the river. “And here i am without my bathing suit” I said in a sarcastic tone as i pulled down my sleeve “time to change that” i said before seeing that the Omnitrix was blue “Rely you're in update mode now?”  i groaned as i put my sleeve back to place and returned to drinking the water.

As i attempted to drink for a second time a purple sea serpent which probably should not be in a river in the middle of a forest rose from said river as held my staff up expecting a fight. As i charged my staff to fight the serpent opened its mouth to speak “Hello there” he said confusing me and killing my fighting mood.

“Umm hi.” i said placing my staff on my back. “Can you tell me where the closest town is?” i asked hoping that he would know or he could at least take me across the river.

He thought for a second before saying “There is a town on the edge of the forest.” he pointed to the dirt path on the other side “All you need to do is follow that path and you should be there in a couple hours” he finished as i how he knew this but before a had a chance to ask the serpent he opened his mouth to say “Of course i have been looking for a good excuse to head in that direction for a while.” I was surprised by his offer but decided to take it due to the image of me riding him ‘Never ending story’ way.

One hour later

I was glad to be on solid ground after riding on the serpent’s head for an hour. The serpent asked me that if i ran into a white unicorn named Rarity to tell her that he said hi before he dove into the river to get whatever he wanted and swimming back to what i guessed was his home. As i returned to walking on the dirt path i realised something “I never asked what his name was.” i shrugged as i went along the path.

As i headed down the path i saw an apple orchard in the distance just as my stomach started to rumble. “Well great and i don’t have any money” i moaned before continued down the path to the town hoping that someone in town will have heard of me and will be able to help me get back to the castle where i work.

Some more time passed since i passed the orchard i finally made it to the town which i have to say was actually a sign of hope the my spell didn’t take me far. The architecture was a bit more advanced than what i was used to but was still close to what i was used to... except for that gingerbread house that was just random and is that a treehouse?

I walked towards the treehouse i noticed that everyone in the plaza was giving me a funny look that said “get out of our town” but i ignored them and kept on my way hoping i could get some info on where i was in relation to where i needed to go.

As i entered the library and started to look around i was confused by the organisation of the books was total chaos. None of the books where in alphabetical order and were literally placed in random on random shelves. “By the nine” i muttered as my need for chaotic order overtook me and i started to levitate the books.

As i started to organise the books a voice came from the stairs asking “Can i help you?”

Equestria, Some Time in the Past Before

I woke up in what smelled like a forest, with my head pounding and spinning in both directions at the same time.

“Anybody get the number of that planet?” I asked, trying to get my head straight.

I started to get up and look around to see if there were any people. “Wait why am I in a forest?” I asked myself before realising something.

“OH CRAP!” Vocalizing my thoughts and started looking for my purse. The one I handcrafted with my Uncle to look like Charmcaster’s golem bag. “Oh thank the...” I stopped mid-sentence when I looked into my bag. “What the hell?” I said as I discovered my bag was a pocket dimension...somehow. Pulling out the book I bought and a couple other things, like my wallet and my old Ipod, unfortunately I couldn’t find my cell phone. I then opened the book hoping it would have some answers.

I started rapidly turning the pages of the book, hoping for something that would prove that this is all just a dream formed by a tainted snow cone. As I read the book I saw a bunch of random words. “What the?” I asked myself as I kept reading it still looking for a note saying what happened to me. “Well I don’t have anything to lose” I said before speaking out loud one of the spells “Zap!” I shouted as a a blast of lightning came from my hand.

“Holy!” I shouted as my lightning destroyed a tree. I then remembered the watch I had “wait if I can do that then...” I said pulling my sleeve to see the Omnitrix on my wrists was fused to it. “now lets see if i'm right.” I said pressing the dial and watching it pop up and display the silhouette of Terraspin shown on green display. I slowly reached out to press down on it when a voice from behind me make me pause in my tracks.

“I wouldn’t do that just yet.” A voice said from behind me.

“Who’s there?!” I shout turning on the spot to try and find the source of the voice. But behind me, there was nobody there.

“We’re what’s left.” A different voice, more feminine than the last, stated from my left. However, when I turned in that direction there was, once again, nobody there.

“Or perhaps, we’re all there ever was.” The first voice said from behind me and this time I found the source of the voice.

A man and a woman dressed in similar beige suits with green ties were casually standing between some trees. The similarities between them, such as their green eyes and red hair, gave me the impression that they were twins. One of them, the man, had a chalkboard strung over his chest that was divided into two sections, one of which was full of tally marks while the other was empty. The sections were labeled “Heads” and “Tails” respectively. The woman, on the other hand, merely held out a plate with a large silver coin on it in the palm of her hand.

“Now then,” The woman said as she picked up the coin and tossed it to me. “Heads?”

“Or the Tails?” The man asked as he looked at me expectantly.

“What?” I asked not sure what they meant.

“Heads?”

“Or Tails?” They repeated, looking at me expectantly.

“Sideways” I said still not knowing why they were asking this and proceeded to flip the coin.

They looked slightly amused at my answer, but they both raised an eyebrow as they saw the coin land on it side for a second then flop over to the heads side. “Close, but no cigar.” The man said as the woman took out a piece of chalk and added a dash to the heads side of the chalkboard.

“Okay now will you tell me who you two are?” I asked in minor annoyance.

“Us?” The woman asked.

“We are where we’re needed-” The man started as he pulled off the chalkboard and put it...somewhere.

“-and needed where we are.” The woman finished as she also stored away the plate and coin.

“Well thats neat but can I get a name?” I said showing a bit of my anger.

“Why would we answer what is already known?” The man asked me with a slight tilt of his head.

“Wait...” I said recognizing them “The two of you where at the con.” I stated receiving a nod from the duo. I started to open my mouth when I was interrupted by them.

“No we are not going to say the Team Rocket motto.” Robert Lutece, or at least, the man I saw dressed as him from the con, told me causing me to shut my mouth before opening it again and being interrupted once more.

“Neither are we going to sing Birds of Prey.” Rosalind Lutece told me causing me to frown with sadness.

“So what are two here for?” I asked wondering how they got here.

“We’re simply here to point you in the right direction.” Rosalind said as her brother gestured to a well-worn path that was half covered in dirt heading into the forest.

“Simply head that way and you shall start your journey home.” Robert explained as he lowered his arms.

I looked at the path wondering where it would take before turning around to thank the two but they had vanished. In there place was a simple, silver coin lying in the grass. “I hope this will bring me good luck” I said placing the coin in my bag and starting to sing the theme song to ‘Gummy Bears’.

Modern Equestria where last left off

“Can I help you?” A feminine voice asked from above me.

I turned my head around while still keeping focus on the books and saw a Lavender alicorn walking down the stairs. “Are you the librarian here?” I asked resisting the urge to facepalm at the stupidness of my question. It was obvious that she wasn’t.

“Why yes I am” she said to my amazement “And like I asked earlier can i help you?” she asked again as I placed the book I was holding down.

“Sorry I have a weird tendency to try to organise things that seems disorganised.” I said sheepishly before grabbing my head as I felt lightheaded. The magic holding some books stopped working and dropping them as I fell to my knees saying “Ah.”

The mare quickly rushes to grab me. “Are you alright?” as my vision starts to go.

“I may require medical attention soon.” I said as the room started to get dark. “My name is Charmcaster by the way. I’m a royal mage and caretaker for King Kronos. Goodnight.” I said as the ground comes up to meet me.

Before I went fully out I heard her shout “SPIKE GET DOWN HERE I NEED YOUR HELP!”

Canterlot, a couple minutes later Celestia POV

I was enjoying a walk after finishing my breakfast before receiving a letter from twilight. This made me happy due to the fact I rarely hear from her or her friends anymore.

Dear Celestia

I apologise for sending you this message this early but a couple minutes ago somepony came into the library and reorganised it. After a quick explanation she fell to her knees and fell unconscious. But before going out she told us her name was Charmcaster and that she works for somepony named King Kronos.

We wrote to see if you had any information on King Kronos or Charmcaster?

Your’s truly Spike

When i finished reading i rushed inside to inform the guards to postpone the daycourt to the afternoon due to an unexpected trip to Ponyville. I quickly wrote and sent a letter to Spike telling him that I would be coming there to see if she was the real one. “Guards” I shouted getting the two guards beside me standing ready “Tell the chariot drivers that i’m heading to Ponyville” i said hoping that the Charmcaster wrote about was the real one.

Third times the charm... killed by writers block

Ponyville An Hour Later

Celestia’s POV

I walked off the chariot in front of the hospital hoping that It wasn’t a false alarm.”Oh Princess” the nurse at the desk said “Its an honor for you to be here... But why are you here?” she asked.

“Well my stu- I mean friend informed me of something that I need to see” I told her

She looked at me for a second “Oh you're here for the pony princess Twilight brought here.” she said “She and her friends are by room 101 which is down that hallway up the stairs to the third floor and first room to the right.” She informed me

I smiled and thanked her before walking off to see if what Twilight sent me was real. “Oh Prin- I mean Celestia what are you doing here?” Twilight asked as her friends bowed

“No need to bow. I came here to see If the pony you sent me a letter about is really who she says she is.” I said as they gasped.

“I knew she was nothing but trouble” Rainbow dash said as she clenched her fist.

I shook my head “No, I just want to make sure she the real Charmcaster.” I said as they tilted their heads in confusion.

“Princess just who is she?” Pinkie pie asked from behind me... somehow.

I scratched the back of my head before saying “She was a mage under the employment of King Kronos and the care take of me and Luna before she disappeared 1600 years ago due to a magical accident”

“And you thinking that this is her.” Twilight asked.

I looked at her for a second before saying “I hope this is her.”

Equestria’s Past

Charmcaster POV

After an hours of walking I eventually came across a village “Finally i might find some answers.” I say to myself as I walked into the town. The architecture was strangely resembled buildings from the Italian Renaissance and it reminded me of the Villa from Assassins Creed 2. As I looked around the town I noticed that the ‘people’ here where anthropomorphic ponies, but that actually didn’t phase me mostly due to the fact that when you’ve got magic and might be able to turn into aliens not that much can surprise you.

As I was walking through the town I noticed two armoured ponies were heading into an alleyway and my curiosity got the better of me so I decided to check out was going on. I looked in the alley to see the two surrounding a child. “Finally found you little brat” One of them said as the other one reached over and grabbed her.

I quickly pulled out my book and snuck behind them before casting “Shadow Hold!.”

One of the armoured ponies lifted from the ground as the other one shouted “WHAT THE BUCK?” In fear.

“Put the kid down and I wont hurt your friend here” I said as I held his friend above my head. He took a couple steps back before dropping the kid his eyes filled with fear. “Good now run.” I said throwing the guy I was holding out of the alleyway and into the streets as his friend ran after him dropping some of their money on the ground.

I grabbed the coins off the ground hoping they would be enough to buy some lunch before turning to face the kid that the two were chasing reaching towards her with my hand.  She quickly backed up into a corner crying“please don’t hurt me”

I pulled my hand back before going down to her eye level before calmingly saying “Shh I’m not going to hurt you”

She pulled her head out of her arms and looked at me with teary eyes “You're not?” she said sniffling getting closer to me. I nodded as she came closer towards me and started hugging me for some reason.

I calmed her down before asking “Can you tell me your name?”

She looked up at me before saying “Tia. my name is Tia”

“Well Tia can you tell me where your parents are?” I asked with concern. But she just looked away in shame.

“I ran away a month ago” She said

“Why did you run?” I asked

She looked at the ground before saying “They love my little sister more than me”

I held her shoulders getting her to look at me in the eyes and asked “Did they say that they love her more than you?”

She looked away before quietly saying “No”

“Then how do you know that they love her more than you?” I asked as she just stayed quiet “I thought so” I said before grabbing her hand “Now lets get you home.” I said before stopping to ask “... Which is where exactly”

She looked at me trying to remember the name “Everfree city” she said in a meek tone as I continued to
