Prologue: The Mirror of the Unknown

Load Full StoryNext Chapter

Long ago, there lived a unicorn that owned a beautiful mirror, made by her own two hoofs and magic. Ponies all over Equestria gathered around to see the mirror’s true potential and it had the power to see a pony’s future, weather good or bad. Everypony was filled with joy and the unicorn soon received praise and fame from every pony in Equestria. Until one day, her sister became jealous of her receiving fame and one night, she placed a spell on it, making the mirror a portal that leads into another unknown universe. When the unicorn showed her own friends the mirror, they were instantly sucked into the mirror portal, never to be seen again. The unicorn was devastated and her sister said, “If any pony should approach this mirror, they will be instantly brought to another world, not known by ponies.”
The unicorn, who created the beautiful mirror, decided to fight her evil and jealous sister and after she won the fight, she banished her into the mirror itself, unknown on which universe she landed in. The unicorn soon vanished as well as the mirror until it was founded by the princesses of Equestria and it was called The Mirror of the Unknown, since any pony who enters it, will be sent to an unknown universe. One day, Princess Celestia decided to let Princess Twilight and her friends into the portal but they never knew what really lies beyond the mirror until they find out on that certain day.


Princess Celestia’s mane waved in silence as she patiently waited for the Princess of Friendship and the rest of her friends to be summoned here in the throne room and beside her was her sister, Princess Luna, also waiting for the Mane 6 to arrive. They soon heard the large doors open and they soon saw the Mane 6, galloping through the throne room.

“You wanted to see us, Celestia?”, Twilight asked as they all soon stopped in front of the princesses.

“Yes. Has the Cutie Map sent you here?”, Twilight nodded.

“Yes and it’s quite strange that we’re sent here. There’s no friendship problem here unless…”

“Well, the map did sent you here for a reason and it isn’t for any friendship problem, Twilight.”

“I see. I guess it sent us because you have a mission for us?”, Celestia nodded, flapped her wings, and flew down until she landed on the ground.

“It’s a yes and a no. It’s just that Luna was being rather curious yesterday and I was wondering if you and your friends are prepared for the journey ahead of you.”, Twilight nodded and her friends had bags on their flanks, filled with various stuff to help them in their journey.

“Yep, we’re all prepared, Princess Celestia.”

“Oh, and what about Spike and Starlight Glimmer?”

“Oh that, I told them that if in a week we don’t come back, the Cutie Map might probably sent them here, just in case.”, they soon began to walk out of the throne room as they pass the glass art that was displayed in the throne room.

“Well, at least you and your friends are all prepared. That is, if you keep this simple phrase in mind, Twilight.”

“Oh? And what would that be Celestia?”, they both soon stopped as the others continued on.

“You promise that whatever choice you make in that certain universe, will cost you dearly afterwards.”, Twilight kept that phrase in mind and she knew that Celestia was being serious about choices being made in another, unknown universe.

“I promise.”

“Good.”, they quickly followed the others as they went downstairs and stopped in front of an enclosed mirror, protected by a thick glass box around it. Celestia hovered over the box and lifted it with her magic before setting it aside slowly.

She soon flew and landed near Twilight and her friends as they wowed in amazement of the design of the mirror itself. The mirror shined as the light hit the mirror, and the design was completely gorgeous, filled with designs of various ponies and swirls. It was almost like the portal that lead into the human version of Equestria except that the color of it was a magenta and greenish hue to it and it had a little ramp that would lead to the mirror itself.

“Wow, that mirror sure looks gorgeous.”, Rarity complemented the mirror and Luna quickly flew down the stairs in worry.

“Sister, I’m worried that my curiosity might lead them into somewhere dangerous and possibly to the unknown. It’s best if we call off this mission.”, she landed near her sister and she worried for the safety of others but Celestia was always the positive princess that wanted to give some confidence for Twilight and her friends.

“Don’t fret, sister. They’re prepared and all you have to do is just believe that they’ll make it somewhere safe.”

“Yeah, Princess Luna. Even though it’s called The Mirror of the Unknown, I’m sure that me and my friends will probably enjoy the new and unknown place we’re going to.”, Twilight smiled as well as her friends and Luna sighed, knowing that friendship might always be the answer to everything.

“Alright. Just make sure you stay safe. I wouldn’t want you getting killed or anything.”

“Nonsense! I’m sure there’s nothing dangerous behind the mirror, Luna.”, Celestia said in a peppy tone while Luna knew there was going to be something dangerous, whether intentional or not.

Twilight approached the mirror and gulped nervously.

“Well, wish me luck!”

“Good luck Twilight and stay safe.”, Luna said in a worried tone as the mirror reacted like if a rock had been thrown into a lake.

Suddenly, a magical aura encircled Twilight and her friends before the aura quickly threw all of them in at once. They soon began to scream as they went through time and space itself.

“Oh dear, this too much! Too much I tell you!”, Rarity yelled at the top of her lungs in a panicked fashion while the other tried to swim close to each other.

“Just hold on! We’ll get through this togeth-”, Applejack’s sentence was suddenly interrupted when she magically disappeared and the others gasp in shock.

“Applejack!”, Rainbow Dash cried out as she too magically disappeared and Twilight was starting to panic.

“Girls!”

“Twilight!”, they all cried out as they all magically disappeared and Twilight soon let out a scream as she felt like if she was being sucked into a black hole and her body then fell face flat on an iron ground, making her a little unconscious after the sudden transportation.

She groaned as the world around her was blooming with life and color and she felt a little nauseous after teleportation.

“Where-Where am I?”, she scratched her head with her left hoof as her consciousness began to regenerate and shook her head to get rid of the dizziness.

She soon saw her surroundings as her vision was brought back to life, she was on a balcony of some sort and out in the distance were a few buildings that seemed ideal for a city. It seemed to be nighttime if it weren't for the city lights and down below her was the cold pavement. The air smelled like gasoline but Twilight couldn’t figure out what the smell really was since she had never smelled gasoline before and she heard the sound of cars from faraway, meaning that she is in another world that is not like their own. She nervously looked around to see if her friends were with her but they weren’t. She worried that they were either in another universe or in same place that Twilight was in.

“G-Girls? Applejack? Pinkie Pie?”, she was all alone and she didn’t want to this somewhat journey alone, she needed her friends with her and without them, there was no way she could travel in this world alone, heck, even blend in to whatever society this world has.

I can’t do this alone...This-This is all of my fault. I should’ve never found that mirror then none of this should’ve happened. I just hope they’re alright.

Twilight hoped that her most dearest friends are in the same world as her and she hoped that wherever they are, that they are at a safe place. But, Twilight didn’t knew who had ruled over this planet between five million and seven million years ago.
