The Legendary Pony

I open my eyes, wondering where I am. I seemed to be in a circular, dusty room with cobwebs in random places, seemed to be 8 foot wide, and the only light entering the room was from the archway that lead to a spiral staircase

The first thing I saw was the mirror I magically came out of, which oddly enough looked like the mirror in the human world

To the left of it was 2 horse shaped mannequins with dresses on them, the first mannequin was wearing beautiful sky blue dress, its fake mane in a simple ponytail with a rose band in as the holder of the shape the bottom of the dress just above hoof height covered in sapphires, baby blue ones for that matter, thinning out to the top her necklace inlaid with a sky blue diamond and white gold swirls complement its nice slim neck, while the second mannequin is wearing a black dress, but small pearls as stars and dark deep blue clouds made out of see through satin, making a soft contrast of the peaceful night sky the moon where its Cutie Mark usually shimmers softly, it being inlaid with a diamond here and there, her necklace which is made out of obsidian ore is inlaid with real night blue lava stones, as they are really rare, it complements the unusual beauty and true hearted soul of the princess who is meant to be wearing it. That's if a princess is meant to be wearing it

Further to the left of the mannequins was a strong, glossy oak table with designs and fabrics on the desk. It had multiple versions of the dresses, hand drawn on paper, in the bin as they were failed designs. The designs used to make the actual dresses were pinned on a board for referencing.

To the right of the mirror was a blue box with golden outlines and a pink love heart on the side of the top half of the chest, the top half was rounded and the bottom half was a box shape.

Confused and curious of where I was, I got up and walked out the room. Outside the door was a spiral staircase, having no other choice, I walked down it. When I got to the bottom of the staircase, I saw a long bridge. Unfortunately, being scared of heights, I was scared of crossing. I crossed too slowly and staying near to the centre, keeping away from the edge so I don't have temptation of looking down

I when I finally walked to the end, I opened the doors that led to the next room, it was a small but comfy room filled with black and white horses with golden armour on them. Some had spears, some had wings, some had horns, some had none at all, but none had both wings and horns. They all looked at me, one walked towards me and moved it eyes up and down my body, as if it was inspecting me

"Identify yourself, explain your purpose here." he said to me in a bold and demanding voice. I stared at it wide eyed in shock and confusion

"Did... did you just... talk?!" I asked in response, it didn't reply and just asked again impatiently

"Name, species, reason of invading the castle, now!"

In fear of being attacked or anything else bad, I said "I'm Carino, I'm a human from a place called Earth and I... I... I came here because someone by the name of Sunset Shimmer pushed me into a mirror and now I'm here. Ok?"

After saying that, the guard looked at me with a raised eyebrow.

"Did you say, Sunset Shimmer?" I kept my mouth closed, kinda scared of what would happen if I said yes, but stayed honest and nodded. He looked to the guard nearest to the door, and nodded.

The guard he nodded to left the room in a hurry, the guard who nodded looked back to me, politely asking "Take a seat." and guided me to a chair. I sat down, legs crossed. I looked around the room, keeping quiet, not wanting to say something bad, they looked like royal guards, and by the sound of it, Sunset Shimmer was the queen.

Later, the guard walked back into the room with two more horses, there was a white one with a longhorn and wings, and a shadow blue one with also a long horn and wings. The white horse was 8-9 feet 2 and the blue horse 6 feet 2. She was a female horse

"How do you know her? What is she doing in your realm and why did she push you into the mirror?!" she asked with plee, sounding like she knew her closely

"Well... she's doing well, she's a nice person and she said I should get use to the name of Firestorm before she pushed me into the mirror..." I said

The white mare widened her eyes "Firestorm...? She did a great deal... maybe she has changed..." she muttered

"What?" I asked, scared about what was happening.

“Oh, where are my manners? I raise and set the sun of Equestria, which is why they call me, Princess Celestia." The white mare said

"And I rise and set the moon of Equestria, which is why they call me, Princess Luna." The said blue mare

"Now that Sunset has done her job, and we've done our introduction, I think it's about time we get him ready for his job." Celestia said

"Job? What job? I wasn't told about a job." I said, walking with Celestia and Luna.

"We'll explain along the way." Luna said.

We walked out the room. I saw the beautiful walls and stain glass windows of the castle, the castle was interesting, it had lots of stain-glass windows, I was in one of them, and they took me to a room half an hour later. In this room was two chairs, a tall one with a C on it and a normal sized one with an L on it. Celestia told me to sit down in her chair, which I did, and Luna sat down in her chair.

Celestia sat down in front of me, "Now, you have a job here that is beyond any other human job..." She puts her horn on my head. "...And you won't get far here like this, so I'll have to prepare you in another form, and you'll have to go by another name. I've been requested by high authorities to rename you... Firestorm."

Her horn started glowing, and then moved away from me after a few seconds, she did nothing but watch.

"Ow... ow, that hurt... ow... Ow.... OW! AH! This hurts badly! AH, AAHH! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"

I felt high amounts of pain coming from my forehead, hands, feet, legs and sides, I was screaming in complete pain. I could feel my skin stretching and ripping, at one point I felt my legs bend backwards and rearrange. I felt the bones in my fingers disappear, along with the nerves and blood. I felt the flappy skin of my fingers fold into my hand, and then get engulfed, the holes was replaced with skin. I felt the bones in my hands rearrange into hooves, my feet also experienced the same thing. I felt hairs all over my body grow fast; by my head hair and hair above my bottom grow at rapid speed. It was so painful that I passed out from the pain... I had never passed out before...

*

As I was gaining consensus, I heard muffled voices, but after a while, I heard a voice, it was slowly fading clearer and clearer.

"I think he's waking up..." I could finally hear the next voice speak

"Not too sure" said a female voice, it sounded kind of royal, but casual at the same time.

"Well, Twi, if ya need us, just call, we'll be waiting for you no matter what." said a female voice, it sounded southern.

"Thanks AJ, you're so kind." replied the kind of royal voice. I groaned as I tried to move, but failed, still seeing darkness

"Oh my, I better stay, he seems ill." Said a soft, gentle voice

"Ah... My head huuuurts..." I said in pain

"Shhhh, you're just waking up after passing out. Fluttershy, could you get this pony a drink?" the royal but casual voice asked

"Milk would be fine..." I requested

"Ok." said a soft voice from the other side of the room.

"So, what's your name?" the royal yet casual voice asked.

"Just call me Firestorm, you?" I can finally see clearly... I see a purple pony with a horn and different tones of purple in her hair

"I'm Twilight Sparkle; I have been requested by Celestia to take care of you. I have no idea why she made you walk all the way here though... I mean, you looked so out of breath and just passed out at my doorstep! Either way, welcome to Ponyville."

I got up and walked to a mirror to see I was a light grey pony with big brown eyes and a tattoo of a 6 point star with a red apple, a yellow balloon, a butterfly and a blue diamond, a cloud with a rainbow lightning bolt coming out of it surrounding the star on both sides of my flank.

"Yep, got the gold things on my wings, nice tattoo on my rump, big cartoony eyes and my beanie is n- MY BEANIE!" I yelled, seeing it was ripped, my horn made it rip, I saw that I have wings with gold but I don't care right now, my favourite hat is ruined!

I looked at myself for a few seconds, upset that my hat was ruined, before seeing something behind me, a yellow and pink thing, I turn around and there stood a pony with pink hair and a yellow coat.

"Here you go, Mr Firestorm." she said softly

"Th... Thank you, miss... Um..." I thanked nervously

"Fluttershy" She introduced, seeming a little shy

"Yes, thank you, Fluttershy, look at me I only known you for a few seconds and I like you from when I first looked at you." I said, really nervous and a little shy myself

"Um... thanks?"

SMASH! I tried to pick up the glass with my hoofs, forgetting I don't have hands anymore.

"Oh... I am so sorry! I didn't know what I was thinking! You probably spent lots of time on that!" I said

"No... It's ok, no use crying over spilt milk." Fluttershy replied. I don't know why... but I am nervous as hell, I've never been this nervous before, even in front of a girl, let alone a pony!

"I'm so sorry, why am I nervous? I've never been this nervous before... you... you're just... never mind..." I continued. She's not blushing, I'm looking bad... "Hey, Firelight, how do I pick up a glass of milk?" I asked, forgetting Twilight's name

"It's Twilight, and you have to use magic." She instructed, I didn't believe this however as magic is only child's play.

"Magic? Phhfff, everyone knows magic isn't real." I said, everyone gasped in shock

"TAKE THAT BACK!" Twilight yelled, feeling extremely insulted

"Whoa... calm down... How old are you?" I asked

"Twenty" she replied

"And you still believe in magic? Are you not sure you're 5" I insulted

"Look, Firestorm, I don't know nor care about the destination of where you came from, but here, magic is real!" she said sternly, trying to convince me magic was real

"Prove it; I'll kiss Fluttershy if you can." I said, making a bet

"Ha! Better pucker up, because I'm about to prove you wrong!" she said, pointing her horn at the glass that's damaged

It started to glow, and then the cup and milk started to glow too. The milk and glass started to repair; it seemed Twilight was going it. She even took the dirt out of the glass and milk right in front of my own eyes

"Better get kissing, Stormy!" my jaw was dropped, I couldn't think of anything to say... I just looked at Fluttershy, and then looked away, closing both eyes

"I change my mind..." I said, embarrassed, filling up with blush

"What's wrong, lover colt? Chicken?!"

"No… just… I can't! Ok?"

"Oh, I don't mind, I've never been kissed before; I do wonder what it's like." Fluttershy said disappointingly

I just opened one eye and looked at her

"Really?" I asked in sympathy, Fluttershy nodded with a little squeak, which made my heart crack into millions of pieces

"How could a beautiful girl like you be rejected a kiss by anybody...?" I said, not thinking

"Excuse me?" Fluttershy said in slight shock and joy

"Nothing! Well... Um, let’s go..." I said nervously.

I was sweating so much, I couldn't control myself. She closed her eyes and puckered up

"This is how you do it, right?" she asked

"Y-Yeah..." I said

"Well, Love Storm, she's waiting." Twilight said, full of self-pride. I closed my eyes and puckered up, I slowly leaned in to kiss her, and our lips were almost touching, but then...

"Ohhhh... I just can't! No matter how much I'm telling myself to, I just can't!"

It was silent for a couple of seconds, and then I saw Fluttershy's face... her face... It was tearing up, letting out more squeaking

"No... Please... don't... if you cry, then I'll cry, then we'll both be crying, then there will be a big puddle on the floor." I said, but all I did is just staring at her slowly bust into a cry, then I started to tear up, I looked away so I wouldn't, but then broke into silent tears

"Told... you..." I said, gasping for air a little, then completely lost it, I burst into loud crying, me and Fluttershy held each other in a hug from the crying

"I'm... so... sorry!" I said, gasping for air per word

"I'm... sorry... too!" Fluttershy cried, also taking breaths for each word

"For what?!"

"Crying!"

we both cried for what seemed like an hour.

Afterwards, Twilight politely asked Fluttershy to go home, then she asked me "What is your problem?! Why did you say magic isn't real?! I mean, you're an alicorn, you should know every magical spell there is! And why didn't you kiss Fluttershy when you lost the bet?! She's very sensitive and has never, ever, kissed a stallion before! What is with you?! I mean, it's like you were never born on this planet!"

"Look, I'm sorry, I really am, it's just, and I'm not from around here. Not at all. Not even millimetre from this piece of planet, I'm from another one. And there, we don't have magic, we do everything ourselves. And I didn't kiss Fluttershy because I was scared... it was my first time I'd ever kissed someone and I was just so nervous and shy... I'm really sorry... and it looks like I won't be going home. Ever, so... could you... teach me about this place...? Please?" I looked up at her with puppy eyes; she just rolled hers and trotted off to the other side of the room.

But then she then received a note. She gasped

"It's from Celestia!" She didn't let me read it; she was so stubborn that she wouldn't let me read it. She then turned to me and said "Ok, you want to live here? Well listen up, Celestia has given me news that I am not allowed to tell anypony except for a named few. I'll go and arrange you to visit them one by one, but for now, you will stay put and not touch anything. Hopefully I'll be back before dark."

She trotted to the door and left the house. I just sat there, alone. I laid down on the floor.

"Well... I best get practising on how to sleep... and do some research on pony anatomy." I looked to my left and luckily found a book on horse anatomy.

What seemed to be years later, the night had arrived, "Oh, so the tattoos on our flanks are called Cutie Marks, and it shows our special talent... huh?" I looked over to my flank and looked at my Cutie Mark "What is my special talent meant to be...?"

Just as I said that, Twilight came in and walked to me, then magically put the book back in the shelf.

"Ok, I have arranged my friends to meet you on certain days, and they will teach you certain things that they have chosen, I will teach you magic and all about magic, so will my friends, but they will teach it in a different way, and when you combine what you've learned, you will learn the magic of friendship, and use it well. Your lessons start to tomorrow. Now get some shut eye." She said.

I got up and followed her upstairs to the bedroom, she laid out a little mini bed for me to sleep on, I noticed a little green thing with purple spines in a dog bed, but ignored it and slept in my bed, waiting for what tomorrow would bring.
