My little pony : Mirror Spell

The Paradox

They were both running at their top speed. The halls were so quiet and dark, Twilight could not see even a tip of her nose. They sprinted around some shattered sculpture and entered the archives. In the room behind the massive door was full of book shelves with dusty books and spell scrolls. There was also a sand clock in the middle.

"So, where's the spell?" asked Foxy.

Twilight thought about the question for a bit and then pulled one of the scrolls out from the shelf, "Here, I remember it by the rune stone. Now, what's the plan?"

There was a sound of exploding flash bang grenade and in that moment, Foxy pulled down a small explosive from his belt and said, " When you hear this signal, throw the thing at the nearest fading shadow. Now, Go!"

Twilight casted the spell. The explosive was gently levitating next to her in her telekinetic grip.

The known feeling of being dragged, shattered to atoms and reconstructed somewhere else wasn't something Twilight would want to do every day, but if it was something that would save Equestria, she would go all out to succeed.

Like Foxy said, she appeared on the other side, before the actual last defense point. She hid herself behind a sculpture and was waiting for the moment. She knew well that the spell could wear out before she got a chance to use the explosive, but she hoped she would male it.

She hoped...

She hoped so intensively it was visible...

Suddenly, the air blurred and for a split of second a shadow without a body appeared.

Few gunshots were heard. The sculpture above Twilight's head was hit and destroyed, covering the whole hall with a pieces of sandstone. Then the flashbang exploded and Twilight, blind and not being able to hear anything, activated the trigger of her explosive and threw it away.

The explosion that followed felt like her whole body was burned and cut at many place at the same time. Mare, broken and still blind, bleeding horribly was fighting herself to not loose consciousness.

And then, the time traveling spell wore off and her body was consumed by thick darkness.

Wake up, my dear...

There was a soft voice that was attacking Twilight's senses. She slowly opened her eyes to find that she's in some kind of space, full of white lights and swirls of colors from white to light green mixed with blue.

"Where am I?" asked Twilight, without expecting a real answer, but surprisingly, the answer did come.

In the mirror world.

The soft voice again. Twilight definitely wanted to know more.

"Where is place called Mirror world?"

Come, the light and your hooves will guide you through the dark. Come, little one.

Twilight decided to follow, because it looked like the voice wanted to explain something.

The mirror world is a place where the magic is stored. But not the magic you know, it's deeper kind of magic, the energy every pony is born with. When pony is born, this world goes brighter and new star will appear in the sky. However, if pony dies, the energy returns to its origin and this world becomes darker.

Twilight never wanted to have her notepad and quill so badly like right now.

And there's you, Twilight, the one who is the Princess of Friendship and prophet of Harmony in all of Equestria. But, you want to know what happened with the one the Princess of the night calles the Voider.

Now, it's getting more interesting, thought Twilight.

Sadly for him, the small explosion of warp magic combined with a little bit of engineering worked and he was shattered around the galaxy. Yes, dear, while he was jumping through the worm hole, the detonation disturbed the transfer and suddenly, two absolutely same copies were at the same time at two places. This caused paradox and the reforming of time continuum has shattered his own existence and pieces of his soul now will be haunting every existing place in galaxy he has visited in his life.

But, you little one, you still have too much to life for and I have already wasted a lot of your time.

No, you did not, wanted to say Twilight, but it was too late.

WAKE UP, SPARKLE!
