Author's Note

So I've decided to use Italics for the thoughts now and just keep the actions/descriptions plain due to complaints and advice. If there's anything else you want to comment on, please do.

The Alignment of Devan

Those were blood crystals right? Crystals that appeared to be what Sombra used in the show. Did she teach him? I bet she feels guilty for that huh? But she shouldn’t. She didn’t cause all that trouble, just enabled him to be able to do it. He was the one that was evil. I hope she isn’t sad. But blood magic exists here? That’s kind of crazy. I wonder if it’s the kind where you use your blood to attack or use your blood to make your magic stronger. Probably both huh?

“Devan? Are you there?” said a voice from beyond my thoughts

But if she uses blood magic then what else in this world is that dangerous? Was the show just a nice representation of this world and it’s actually really messed up? Maybe it’s as bad as my world is? No, that doesn’t make sense. We don’t have a Princess to keep order that has the powers of rebirth, someone that can control fire with ease. I will have to ask Luna about it sometime.

“Devan! Are you alright?” said another voice as I feel my body get pushed slightly.

I look up to see both princesses looking down at me with worry and I smile.

“Sorry about that” I say. “I sometimes get caught up in thoughts and was just reminded of something, that’s all. I assume your alignment is dark, water and earth then? Dark and water being the blood and earth being the crystal, right?”

They both look at me surprised and nod slowly

“Yeah, we have video games in my world that contain lots of different kinds of magic to be used in them. So it wasn’t hard to tell that blood, which is usually a dark magic that involves a fluid, and a crystal, which is from the earth, was water, dark and earth.” I continue with confidently.

Luna nods gently. “Yes, that’s correct Devan. I’m amazed by the knowledge thou has of things in this world. If we didn’t already test if you were actually from another world then we would be very suspicious of thou.”

I smile brightly and look at Celestia

“So, considering I have never used magic at all are you going to teach me or what?” I ask excitedly

Celestia smiles back at me and shakes her head

“No Devan, I cannot teach you in time to send you wherever you are going. All you need to do is touch that gem around your neck onto the top of the hourglass. It will replicate the magic inside of you and feed that same magic into it. It’s that simple.” Celestia replies while pushing the hourglass towards me.

I look down at the hourglass excited for what magic I could be good at. My thoughts once again wander to the possibilities.

Honestly any magic would be awesome. Least I think I could make it awesome. There is so much you can do with each element and I think I’d be happy with anything.

I hesitantly but surely place the amethyst around my neck on top of the hourglass and see the runes glow once again. The aura around the hourglass turns into a yellow green color signifying my color of aura.

Wow that’s a bit weird. Wouldn’t of imagined my aura color would be so… Pretty and spring like? I’m sure a lot of idiots back on earth would make fun of me for it…

I stare deep inside the hourglass waiting to see what happens when I see something not out of the ordinary. Sand starts to fall into the hourglass. Some of the sand has some black patches but they are small and few.

“Sand? But isn’t that normal for an hourglass? And what are those black patches of sand mixed in?” I ask Celestia while looking up at her.

Celestia’s face is quite unusual. It’s a bit of worry with a bit of fear mixed in. I can’t help but wonder what the issue is

Jeez, she looks a bit frightened. Is my magic alignment really that scary? It’s just sand with some weird black patches. Let’s see… Sand would make me think Earth but I suppose rocks would of just appeared or something. Well sand is usually created by water due to the erosion so perhaps water and earth? But then again wind can do the same thing. What are the black patches though… Wait a minute, black usually means…

“Dark, Air and Earth. That is what alignment you have Devan. Though it seems as if you only have a little dark inside of you or else the inside of this hourglass wouldn’t have just a few patches of black sand. This is a rare magical alignment that my sister and I haven’t seen for many years. The last time we saw this was from a creature long ago. A gryphon named Adriohan who wanted to rule as a king. We removed him from many books and minds to make sure he was hidden in the past. I only tell you this because with your magical alignment it was bound to happen that you learn of him. He was evil and caused my sister and me much strife that can’t be explained. Sister it is fine. We have looked into his heart and seen his answers. We know he isn’t evil and he won’t be as long as we help him. Adriohan didn’t get any help as a child nor was taught reason and morals. Devan here has the morals and reason to protect not inflict pain” Luna says first to me and then her sister.

I sit there and wave at Celestia while smiling nervously

Weird how she’s speaking as if I’m not right in front of them. I guess it’s really bad that she’s trying to convince her so much.

Celestia sighs and looks at me deep into my eyes. I stare into hers and smile as much as I can while under the gaze of a goddess.

“So what now?” I ask as firmly as I can.

“Devan Whitney. You have a magical alignment that is dangerous but from what we know about you so far and what we have seen, you are not evil. You are going to live in Ponyville starting today. There we can keep an eye on you and if need be have the elements of harmony there to stop you if you turn evil and inflict pain upon innocent lives. You will be taught to harness your Earth and Air magic only after you have mastered the basics of magic which is the Arcane. Twilight has just begun her elemental magic studies and will not be able to teach you so you will be taught by Rarity.” Celestia replies with a bit of edge to her voice.

Rarity? But in the show she was nowhere as good as Twilight. I suppose I must start somewhere huh?

I nod gently acknowledging what she said

I’m off to Ponyville I suppose. A bronies dream huh? It feels like it’s going to be anything but a dream though.
