Tale of Two Worlds

        Discord sat in the little encampment he made in the Everfree, causing chaos throughout the entire dark forest. After letting the human go and put his own plan into action, the draconnequis began making the animals fight as gladiators, switching their personalities, and so on. Anything to entertain himself until Byron returned, but he was quickly growing bored. “What kind of person does he think I am?” Discord sighs, thinking aloud. “The animals offer no such fun as ponies would. Perhaps I should check up on him...”

        Discord snaps his fingers, summoning a mirror on which an  image of Byron -or Silver Tongue- appears. The disguised human was walking through Ponyville, obviously out of his mind in the pure euphoria of being in Equestria. Discord heard him speaking under his breath. “Everything seems to be working fine... I should head back to the library....” Silver Tongue stopped and looked around, as if he felt he was being watched. “...Everything is fine Discord...” Discord growls with impatience as Silver walks through Ponyville towards the library. “Who does this human think I am, making me wait.” Discord says as he snaps his fingers, summoning a bull. “Maybe this will quicken his pace!”

        I walk through Ponyville, heading back to the library. It’s been a little over an hour, so I assumed they should all be there by now. I look around, still in shock at what I’m seeing. I’m in Equestria. I. AM IN. EQUESTRIA. My inner fanboy is freaking out, while outside I seem perfectly fine. I think. I dunno, but this is just amazing.

        As I’m walking along, letting my inner fanboy freak out, I hear a faint galloping sound, as if a pony was running up to me. I assumed that was what it was, so I looked back, and what I saw nearly made me shit myself. There was a large black bull, about three times the size of my pony body, charging. Straight. At. ME. “OH SHIT!”

        I quickly sidestep the bull as he charges right past me, and turns around for another attack. “IT’S GOING TO TAKE TIME!” The bull scratches its hoof into the ground an obvious sign it’s about to charge again. “Oh fuck me...” I stand my ground, mostly because I’m frozen with fear, but that’s beside the point. The bull comes within inches of my face before coming to a screeching halt. I can feel the bulls hot breath on my face. It’s stinky. I stare at it out of fear until it speaks, in a familiar sophisticated, mischievous voice.

"My dear huma- I'm sorry, Silver Tongue. I don't have time. The longer you wait, the more time Celestia will have to pinpoint my location. And I forgot one important piece of information, all ponies who aid chaos will be imprisoned for life within the Canterlot dungeon. Tick tock Human.” Discord laughs maniacally as he releases the bull from his control. The bull looks at me curiously. “Wait- where am I? Who are you?” I have to hold myself back from laughing, and I’m only able to shrug. “Well, you’re no help.” The bull snorts in my face as he walks off.

“This won’t take much longer.” I utter out as I regain myself. “Alright, time to put the rest of my plan into action.” I walk toward the library. The town seems unusually empty right now, but I shrug it off. There’s more important things to deal with right now. Such as my plan. I let out a breath as I reach Twilights house. “Alright... Let’s get this over with.” I struggle with opening the door with my new hooves, but finally manage to get it open.

“SURPRISE!!!”

“GAH! FU- I mean, BUCK!” I scream as the lights flick on and what seems like every pony from Ponyville jumps out and the peppy pink party pony known as Pinkie Pie darts up in front of me. I should’ve expected this....

And so comes the subject... Fool... Pinkie Pie stares at Silver Tongue with a huge grin and offers him a party hat. “HI! I’m Pinkie Pie and I threw this party just for you!” Silver takes his hat with a smile and obviously struggled to put it on. “Wow, thanks Pinkie! But, I’m not really a fan of huge parties. I prefer small ones.” Possible fear of crowds... Requires further data. “Oh that’s ok, silly! Now go meet some more ponies, and let’s get ready to PAR-TAAAYY!!” Pinkie darts off, smirking. Fools...

GAH! There isn’t any time for this! I think to myself as I dart around looking for Twilight. Surely she would agree and help get these ponies out so I can tell her what I need to tell her. I find her sitting in a corner, obviously no more overjoyed than I am. “Twilight, we need to get these ponies out of here. There isn’t any time for this!” Twilight looks at me for a few seconds, before nodding to show her agreement. “I’ll get Pinkie. You just get what you have to tell us ready.” I nod, and she goes off to find Pinkie.

“UNHAND ME VILE CUR- Umm, I mean- HEY TWILIGHT! WHAT’S THE DEAL?!” Pinkie shouted as Twilight pulled her out the door. “What? Oh whatever... Pinkie, there isn’t anytime for this party!” “Why not?”

“Because Silver has to tell us something important!”

“So everypony has to leave?”

“Yes.”

“Why?”

“Because it has to be told to the six of us!”

“Fine.” Gathering of information postponed until further notice.

After about an hour of rounding up ponies and getting them out of the library, everypony huddled up around me, waiting. “Well? What did ya gather us all up for? Spit it out!” Applejack pushed, clearly becoming impatient, fast. “First, I need a safe way to tell this information. Twilight, you know a mind reading spell?” I look over at Twilight without an expression. “Umm, yeah.” “Good, read my mind.” Twilight cautiously walks to me, lowering her glowing horn to my head.

Okay, whatever you do, do not repeat this out loud.

I am not of this dimension. I am a human. I was transformed into a pony by Discord.

Yes, Discord has returned. I played him like a fiddle, I used him to get here, to Equestria, where I have dreamed of being. He now thinks I am driving you guys apart. Discord is in the Everfree forest. You must defeat him.

Twilights eyes widen and she shivers a bit, slowly moving backwards. “Twilight? What’s wrong, dear?” Next thing I know, lightning and thunder were erupting around us in flashes of light, as a heavy rain of marshmallows hit the windows. “...Fuck.” A flash of light envelops me, and all I can see is white, except for the draconnequis before me.

“I should say I’m disappointed, but this worked out so well! I should thank you!” I frantically look around in a panic, not knowing what to do. My plan had failed-no worse, it had aided Discord. “TWILIGHT?!” “Silver Tongue?” Twilights voice is extremely muffled, and I can barely make out what she’s saying. “TWILIGHT! IT’S DISCORD!”

Discord laughs and picks me up, staring into my eyes. “I find it amazing how important mortals feel, when in truth, you’re all just pawns in the grand scheme.” I feel another cracking pain take over my body as my form shifts again into something I can’t quite deduce. “I have to say, you did quite well. You should be proud...” Something was off about that last part of what he said... It sounded familiar, very familiar... You know what it was? It was my voice. Coming from my body. Discord looked like my pony form, and I looked like him!

Okay.. think... Fuck! I can’t think of anything! I continue looking around in a panic as the whiteness surrounding us begins to fade. Do auras exist here? Oh god I fucking hope so... It’s my only shot! Show no fear... I let out a chuckle, trying to throw Discord off how scared I was. I was terrified. “Discord, you’re such a fool. Surely you know I have a truthful, beneficial aura, while you have a chaotic one."  I smile, as I explain where I was going with this. “You can’t dismiss your aura, Discord.” I fucking hope I’m right... I like having Discords voice, It’s fun to talk with it. Wait, focus, I got more important shit to deal with.

Discord smirks as he speaks. “I don’t think you realize what I’ve been planning this entire time.” He looks over to the ponies coming to my -Or his- rescue. “I couldn’t get them all in one place. No, they are far too smart to fall for my old tricks. But you? They had no idea.” Son of a bitch...

In a flash of bright light, Princess Celestia and six of her Royal Guard, clad in their golden armor, appear out of nowhere. “DISCORD!” Sweet! “Princess Celestia! I am not Discord!” I pleaded. “I know I look like it, but Discord switched bodies with me!” “Likely story, Discord!” It was clear my begging wasn’t going to work, so I had to use my last resort. The auras. I still had no idea if auras even existed in this world, but I had no other option. “Please Princess, I beg you to examine our auras!” Pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease....

“He’s right, Princess! Examine the auras, it’s the only way!” Discord says with concern. He is a great liar, he is. Wait- what? I catch him glancing over at me, smirking. I look over and glare at him “Motherfucker...” Twilight comes closer to examine our auras and confirm, I assume. Oh thank god... “Thank you, human! You played your part well!” ...Fuck. Discord quickly jumps out of the way of Celestia and everypony else and summons a portal in which me, the mane 6, and Celestia fall through. “SHIT!” “See ya Celestia! And arrivederci my little ponies!” Discord laughs and disappears in a puff of smoke as the portal closes behind us.

An untold amount of time passed before we got to where Discord sent us. Truth is, I didn’t even care how long. I fucked up, and now Equestria was in a state of chaos. All that was going through my mind was ways to get back. I racked and racked my brain, but couldn’t come up with anything. But I was going to do anything to get them back. Where we landed, they should never be...

“OOF!” I hit the ground with a thud, and I heard 7 other thuds behind me. As I picked myself up, I realized something. I had hands, I was using my elbows, my knees, I was standing on 2 legs. I was human again. Huh, this is strange... I look up and see where exactly we landed. We are in front of my house, we are on Earth. “...Fuck.”
