When magic summoning a go wrong, expect the least expected. Even when it is the absolute impossible.... Like a forgotten princess or King. Magic is no toy for that very reason. Some things are better left alone.

Midnight Special

The brilliant flashes of crimson, teal, and beige dance around the Everfree Forest, illuminating Celestia's beautiful sky in a spectacular show of magic. Such a magic should not be tampered with although it looks so wonderful to see, as looks can be very deceiving. Great sorcery is being performed, and it it never meant for the faint of heart or the easily startled....

It was just the end of Winter Wrap Up, and all the creatures of the forest, wished they were no where near the faster of these dangerous magicks, from the ferocious Timberwolves to the prowling Cragodile. Such a force released could scare away death itself, but death has work to do regardless of the fear, and can be patient for as long as it wishes.

The sorceress at work is a young white filly, trying her hardest to not only ascend, but to accomplish the impossible to prove her worth. She will commence the forbidden spell of dimensional summoning. She may be strung up to a dungeon and left to die for it, but she isn't a striving princess-to-be for nothing. She knows her summons would a good creature, and if not, her failsafe would kick in.

Even though such a feat of summoning on its own was something Celestia would allow the summoner intk her school for gifted unicorns, this determined filly wanted to go over the top. She drew the symbols all over the floor in the ancient castle of the two sisters, amplifying the magical strength, and even acquired the legendary Alicorn amulet to find the knowledge to perform the spell... But knowing Celestia wouldn't allow a cheater, this brave filly is draining her own magical reserves to cast it, without the amulet's presence in the forest.

The pale unicorn frowns as she hears the beating of large wings. Such a presence bodes ominously, and not a soul will hear her pleas...

The sorceress' beautiful show grinds to an abrupt halt as the magic is soon doused, faster than any amount of water could to a fire as the princess of the sun lands in front of the ancient doors.

"WHO GOES THERE?!" Her voice bellows down the empty throne room, disturbing a few spiders who have made residence of these hallowed halls. All that remains is a scorch mark on the floor in the middle of an obscure looking magical circle.

The princess can do nothing but sigh as her guards finally catch up to her and swarm the castle, her legion looking in every nook and crany for the one who committed such a heinous and treasonous act.

"What shall we do your majesty?" A gruff Pegasi mare asks the disgruntled , "There is nopony here... And there is no sign of any sort of teleportation or movement spell."

"Just make sure we respond to it sooner, Corporeal." Celestia sighs, but she knows in her heart she can't even do so, "And clear up this magic. We don't want any one getting ideas.... And patrol for the night, see if they come back.... I have to raise the sun tomorrow." She yawns, and walks out of the castle with shame. She has let whoever did this go, and they may never be found again. The guards can only patrol as they were commanded while Celestia vanishes into the night sky.
