To Feel Is To Understand: A My Little Pony Story

After explaining my experience to Scarlet and the others, Abdulia says "Sounds like you got possessed. I know how that feels."

"Possessed by a living pony?" Scarlet says.

"Well, technically, he isn't a pony." I say.

"Right. But, only living, connected entities can switch between their vessels. I heard it takes a lot out of you." Abdulia says.

"Wait. Does that mean I can get inside Nexus' vessel?" I say.

"Yeah, actually. But the thing is, I don't know how to do the spell." Abdulia says.

All of us look disappointed, then Scarlet says "There might be somepony who does. Ruby bring me the Population Log."

Ruby trots to a bookshelf, then she comes back with a crystal book titled with "Population of the Village of Harmony".

Scarlet looks through the book, occasionally saying "S, St".

"Aha! Look!" Scarlet says, as she points to a page with her hoof.

"Starspiral The Bearded?" I say.

"I didn't know he had a foal." Abdulia says.

"We have to find him. Abdulia, use the tracking spell for ponies." Scarlet says.

"Somepony, get me a map of the village." Abdulia says.

Ruby pulls out a map out of her saddlebag, then lays it flat on the table.

Abdulia pulls her crystal necklace off of her neck, and holds it above the map, then says "Show me the home of Starspiral the Bearded."

The crystal starts to glow, then starts moving around the map.

I've seen magic. But not this kind.

It stops at an area beside a lake.

"There! I know where that is." Scarlet says.

"Let's go then." I say.

Abdulia puts back on her necklace.

"Dreamcatcher, watch over the House." Scarlet says.

Me, Abdulia, Scarlet, Spike and Derpy walk out of the house.

We walk for a while, occasionally stopping to talk to villagers.

We stop at a what looks like, an abandoned house.

Broken windows, broken railings, faded paint.

I walk up to the front door, then knock, then ask "Hello? Is there anypony here?"

A voice inside says "Who is it?".

"It's Scarlet Rose, we are looking for Starspiral." Scarlet says.
The door opens.

A brown-bearded unicorn appears in the doorway, then says "You found him, now what do you want?"

Scarlet says "We need your help."

Starspiral says "I don't help anypony anymore, unless they have something to offer."

I say "Listen ‘Spiral! The fate of Equestria, depends on us. Now we need your help."

"Who invited the hairless ape?" Starspiral says.

I take a swing at him. My arm gets electrocuted. I bounce back.

Scarlet asks "Are you okay, Arthur!?".

"Fuck! I’m fine!" I say.

"That's why you don't mess with a wizard." Abdulia says.

"Ex. I'm retired. Like I said, I don't help anypony, unless they have something t-. A Tracking Crystal! I have been looking for one of those!" Starspiral says.

The five of us look at Abdulia's necklace.

"No way! It was a gift from my mother." Abdulia says.

"If you don't give it to me, I won't help you." Starspiral says.

We look at Abdulia with a desperate look on our faces.

Abdulia breaks the silence by saying "Fine! Here!."

Abdulia starts to take off her necklace.

"Wait! I have something." Derpy says.

Derpy reaches inside of her saddlebag.

She pulls out a diamond necklace.

“I was saving it for my wedding, but you can have it.” Derpy says.

Starspiral says "That’s very generous of you.Thank you."

"My name is Derpy Hooves, by the way." Derpy says.

Derpy smiles at him. Derpy shakes his hoof.

And I lost her.

"Alright, but I'm helping her, not you. Come inside." Starspiral says.
