W.i.t.c.h.

In an alternate universe far from the Equestria you know and love, lies two worlds within. One of these worlds is not known to all but 5 special ponies chosen in each generation. It was about that time when the Amulet of Crestlin was passed down to the last barror's daughter and four of her closest friends. It all started on the day that every teenage mare and stallion fears each and every September...the first day of school. It was also the first day in town for a young 7th grade mare named Willow Star, er me. Nervous, I looked up at the towering academy. "You will be fine Will, I'm sure you will make lots of friends and have exciting adventures as you become accustomed to this land" my mom, Crescent Heart, reassured me. I rolled my eyes and looked at her.

"Yeah 'cause doing algebra and physics is totally an adventure" I said sarcastically. Sadly, my mom however, doesn't get sarcasm and can't tell whether or not I, or anypony else for that matter, is using it. She happily agreed and I hit my forehead with my hoof is frustration. As I was about five steps onto the grounds, four unicorn mares go skating right by me, knocking me down onto my flank in the process. They turned to see me on the ground and helped me up. The four mares were vastly different; One had an orange coat with even oranger hair and purple streaks running through it, another having a grey coat with a dark purple and black mane, then there was one that was forest green and pink, the last of the group had a purple coat a little darker then mine and a two shaded seafoam-green mane color. The purple one trotted towards me.

The un-named pony looked me seriously in the eye and said "Sorry! We didn't see you there. I mean, of course we saw you but we just didn't have enought time to react. I'm Indigo Crest by the way. Let me introduce you to my friends." I was shocked that she had so much energy going through her that she could muster that whole sentence in one breath. She continued "The living flame over there is Terra Flame but you can just call her Terra, the one with the pink mane is Candy Leaf, and Ms. Droopy over there is Hollow Wind! Say hi everypony!"

"Hi" Hollow Wind said. Indigo was right, she is kinda a downer I thought to myself.

"Salutations" Terra Flame said right as some books fell out of her saddlebags.

Candy Leaf was so quiet at first that I couldn't hear her. Then after a little while, she finally spoke like a normal pony. "Hello"

"Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, what is your name new mare?" They all closed in on where I was standing. I slowly stepped back a few steps to keep a good distance. I looked from side to side to try and play with them a bit. I came up next,

"Can you keep a secret?" I asked as if hiding something. The mares moved there heads in closer to hear me. The group nodded. I continued sneakily, " I am actually a secret agent working for the mayor and supposedly there is a criminal on the school grounds."

The mares looked frightened and shocked at the same time. "WHAT!!!!!!!!" All of them yelled in unison. I just burst out laughing. It was funny cause they actually fell for it. "I'm joking! But your reaction was hilarious! My name is Willow Star by the way, and you can call me Willow."

As the day went on, the mares and I had grown to be great friends. Turns out that they were in fact very friendly ponies. The classes were pretty fun with them around and I even met some young stallions. But like all other days, that day had to end. As I waved bye to my new friends, I trotted home. I was about halfway home when a strange blue portal opened up in an alleyway in front of me. Not long after, a gray-blue stallion with a black mane and brown eyes fell through it...right onto me. I was startled, for he had bruises and cuts all over him as if he had been through a terrible ordeal. He unmounted me and stood up. Then he faced the portal as if expecting something to pop out. Sure enough, a strange and hideous grey-green skinny gargoyle-looking thing came flying through. At first glance, I knew exactly what it was; a Mogrif, a strange beast that can steal the shape of any living thing and take on their abilities and knowledge as well. Stumbling to my feet, I slowly crept towards the mysterious stallion. "STAY BACK!" he warned as he flew up and kicked the beast with his back hooves. I stood in shock. How is this pegasus so strong? I've never seen a pegasus fight like this I thought. Then I caught sight of something that I hadn't noticed that he was wearing a glowing blue pendant around his neck. As he got knocked back, the pendant fell off; for the string was snapped by the Mogrif's claw. I used basic levitation magic to lift it towards me and mend the string. He looked over to me in shock as the pendant started glowing super bright. It transformed me into a pony sorta like the Breezies but just wings. They were teal, dark blue, and light blue; as well as the shape of mechanical pegasi wings. My power instantly felt amplified 10 times.

"Don't worry, I got this" is what I said to the stallion, who just stared at me in awe. My other friends had gathered in the alleyway as well and saw me shoot the Mogrif right back into the portal to a place I didn't know of as of yet. It shut on impact. Now everypony was in shock as I landed and transformed back to my unicorn self. I walked towards the odd stallion among us and asked, "Ok, enough funny business; who are you and where did that portal lead?"

Indigo turned to him as well. Frightened, she asked "and WHAT was that thing!?" The stallion just laughed and put up a blue hoof up to silence us all.

"Don't worry little fillies, I will tell you everything, but not here." With that, I led everypony to my house, for my mom wouldn't be home for another hour and my little sister wouldn't be home.
