A Mirror to Another World
The Spell of the Ancients
Load Full StoryNext ChapterOne morning in Ponyville, Twilight woke up to a lousy, rainy day. The pegasi had really been slacking off with the rain, so they needed it to rain in Ponyville for at least two weeks. This made Twilight a bit depressed, as she was wanting to read a good book in the sunshine. Somehow, miracle or not, Twilight was able to get out of bed slowly and go downstairs to start on breakfast. When Twilight had reached the bottom of the stairs, she tripped. She looked to see what caused the problem; it was an old floorboard that had came loose. She noticed to what seemed to be a slip of paper underneath the floorboard.
She proceeded to investigate the floorboard. The nails had rusted, and had come loose from the other piece of wood holding the step down. She then picked up the paper with her magic and began to read. After a good five minutes of reading and another couple of minutes to analyze the scroll, Twilight found that it was a spell. Some words she didn't understand; probably because they were used in ancient times. She did make out the title which was: "The Spell of the Ancients".
Instead of making breakfast, Twilight had that scroll on her mind. She read each word carefully, with a dictionary nearby to help her translate any words she may not recognize. After she had finally understood what the scroll said, she began to see if she could do the spell. But, a knock at the door beat her to it. She thought to herself: Who would be visiting me in this kind of weather? It was none other than Pinkie Pie, a wet Pinkie Pie, I should add. She shook off all the water from her coat on to the books in the library. Twilight wasn't too pleased at that.
"Pinkie Pie, what are you doing here?" asked Twilight impatiently. "I just wanted to see if you had a cupcake recepie book! I'm thinking on making some delicious cupcakes for The Cakes!" said Pinkie Pie, as cheerfully as usual. Twilight found the book Pinkie Pie wanted and gave it to her. "Watcha got there?" asked Pinkie Pie looking at the scroll.
"Oh this? This is a spell I found underneath one of the floorboards." stated Twilight "I was just about to try it out." "Ooh! I wanna see!" Twilight guessed it wouldn't hurt if Pinkie Pie stayed for a bit and began the spell.
Twilight had to muster up as much energy as she could to perform the spell. It was harder than it looked. When she finished the spell, and she knew she did everything correctly, nothing happened. Not a single thing. "What did it do?" asked Pinkie Pie. "I don't know. In the scroll it said it was supposed to 'open a mirror to another realm that is far from home'."
Then, out of nowhere, came a huge portal in the middle of the library. It was created a massive whirlwind that was stirring up all the books and papers in the library. It then started to suck Pinkie Pie and Twilight inside. They did their best to stay in Ponyville, but the portal consumed them.
Once engulfed by the huge maw of the portal, everything became calm in the library again. As if by magic, all the books and papers that were flying around had put themselves back in their proper places. The portal slowly began to shrink. During all this ruckus, Spike had woken up to see what had happened. All he saw was a portal getting smaller and smaller and he heard Pinkie Pie and Twilight scream. Before he could even think of what to do, the portal had closed.
When Twilight woke up, she was in a patch of grass near the edge of a forest. She slowly sat up. She then recalled all events leading down from that point: the spell, Pinkie Pie, both of them being sucked into a portal. She then rubbed her head with her hoof, as it was sore. No, it wasn't a hoof, it was a hand! She then looked at herself. Instead of hooves, she had hands and feet! She had lost her coat, and it were replaced by tan skin. She then tried to find Pinkie Pie.
"Pinkie Pie!" Twilight said "Pinkie Pie, where are you? I hope you're alright..."
"Oh, I'm alright!" said Pinkie Pie. Twilgiht nearly had a heart attack. She looked up and sitting on a branch was Pinkie Pie in a human form. She still had poofy pink hair, but, like Twilight, had lost her coat as well and was replaced by skin too. They were also wearing clothes, Twilight a casual t-shirt with tan pants and Pinkie Pie had a dress on that looked sort of like the one she wore to the Grand Galloping Gala. "This is so cool!" said Pinkie Pie excitedly "I mean, look at us! We have hands and feet and snazzy clothes an-" but Twilight cut her off. "Pinkie Pie, let's focus on the situation: we may never get home!"
