Chapter 1: Oh fuck, what's going on?

Nova had a pretty typical life, he was raised in Brisbane, Australia. He had bright red hair, white pale skin and a small build, basically he was your typical young adult, he attended classes in the city on creative writing, hated any form of work.
His name was a bit strange, but that's what you get for having slightly hippy parents, but Nova wanted nothing more in life than to have a little fun gaming and doing as little work as possible.

You can imagine his surprise when, one moment he's sitting at his computer desk mucking about on the web, and the next he's sitting on a stone bench surrounded by hedges.

He sat there for a few seconds, hand still reaching out for a keyboard no longer there, before he reacted.
"Sweet Merciful fuck! Where am I?!" He shout out to no one.

Quickly standing up, he looked around to get a bearing on his location, but all he got was a face full of hedge, he fell backwards, falling through the hedge behind him, his heart and brain racing, trying to understand what was going on, and failing.

It took a while, but he eventually managed to calm himself down to a more reasonable level, considering his situation.
"Okay" he said, preparing to brief himself. "The last thing I remember was screwing about on my laptop, then, I saw something in the corner of my eye and then I was here. Fuck none of that even helps me understand anything." He threw his hands up in defeat, completely baffled by his situation.
"Well, guess there's nothing left to do but find my way out of this fucking maze." He thought, and quickly took off in a random direction, making sure to always follow the right 'wall' so that eventually he could find a way out.

None too far away from said maze, a teacher could be seen leading leading her students on a trip through Canterlot visiting the various statues around the area.
One said statue was starting to crack open.

After a couple of hours roaming around the seemingly endless maze, Nova decided that he had had enough of this infernal place, especially after he saw the walls of the maze increase in height.

"Arg! What's wrong with this fucking place!? I know it's a maze, but gods be damned its like something is changing the entire place every second." he stared at the wall of leaves and branches in front of him, a face so full of fury it could light them on fire.

You can imagine his surprise when they did suddenly combust into flames, quickly burning a rather large hole through.
"Holy crap!" He shouted, quickly covering his face from the searing flames, the fire quickly died out after it had burnt a small archway through the wall.

He stood there for a second, slowly lowering his arms back down. "What the hell? I- just think about burning a way through, and it just happens?" He said to himself, rather confused on what had actually just happened.

After quickly looking over the newly burnt gateway through the hedge wall, he actually looked through to see, surprise, surprise! another wall.
"Gods be damned, I can't seem to get a break here, but, what if-" he stared at the wall.
"Burn." He commanded, and so it did, a smile slowly stretching across his face.

Meanwhile, In another part of the maze, a certain spirit felt something meddling with his own chaotic work, however he was quickly distracted by the appearance of a certain cyan coloured pegasus to properly take note on the strange occurrence, and quickly set back to work to manipulating his latest victims.

Nova quickly strode through the newly made path through the infernal maze, deciding to not question this new ability he seemed to have picked up.

After a while, he started to change things up a bit, taking a moment to focus, he thought 'freeze' and froze a part of the wall instead, shattered it into pieces with a quick kick, although it took a little longer to freeze than burn, it provided a good distraction from the building amount of frustration he was starting to feel.

However, upon seeing yet another wall of hedge in front of him, simply lost his shit.
"It's like it never ends! how the hell can a maze even be this big? Then again, how the hell am I even doing all this crazy shit with my mind?" He questions furiously. "Maybe, if I can burn and freeze these things by thinking it maybe I ca-"

A large part of the maze suddenly disappeared.
"Oh, okay, yeah, okay, YEAH, OKAY!" Nova started repeating over and over, quickly falling into a flurry of swearing and insults at his stupidity for not trying to just magic the maze away sooner.

Meanwhile, in a certain town far away from the raging man, A spirit of Chaos was quickly being frozen back to stone once again, but not before feeling the insane amount of power being used on his recently created maze, and as he felt this power, he had just enough time to think.
'It seems In not the only one who will be causing a bit of chaos today.'

Much closer to the recently trimmed down maze, Celestia, joined by her sister Luna, looked out from over a balcony to see what appeared to be a hairless Diamond dog, who had suddenly appeared out from the remains of Discords maze.

"Sister, what shall be done about the strange creature?" Luna said, Looking to her sister for an answer out of this strange event on an already strange day.

"I do not know sister, we have only just rid ourselves of a dangerous foe today, for all we know that-" Celestia paused, not quite certain what to call the being below. "That creature down there might be a servant of discord, or just some random being, whatever it is, we will deal with it in time, but for now, we have a celebration to prepare, I'll send the guards down to watch the creature in the mean time."

Both princesses quickly entered the castle, already tired after the events of the day, leaving the strange creature to rage down below in the mean time.
