Harvest Blazeby JaninnaMaynzChaptersMystery SpellWHAAAAAAAAAALearningMystery SpellAuthor's Note Before anyone says anything: This is from the point of view of a 10 or 11 year old with very little proper schooling. Read it as if she spoke into a recorder and then had her words penned down exactly. Written for her, essentially. Mystery Spell I blame Jack. I blame everything on Jack. Alright, now that that's out of the way, my name is Mary. I'm a human. Jack is my brother. He's also human. He's dating an angel named Aingil (I know, how unoriginal. Her mom was weird like that.) and she's our guardian angel. She's mine while she's humanoid and his when they're cats. Yes, my brother turns into a cat. Long story. Maybe I'll tell you some time. Anyways, there's also our cousin, Halie, she's a vampire. Plus her boyfriend, Daemon, he's a demon hunter. That's part of the long story. Then, there's Wiz. Well, he's actually called 'The Grand Wizard', but we all just call him Wiz. He hates it, and that makes it that much better! If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have a story to tell, really. I'd just be another girl. Oh, and he's human, too. I think. But there was a time when all of us became the same thing, and it started with a spell... "Hm... what kind of spell is this? It's unlike any I've ever seen before..." Jack said. "It appears to be in some ancient language, but I don't recognize it at all..." "Let me see, I might be able to read it..." Aingil said, coming over to look. "Hm... nope, that has never existed on Earth." "What? But how is that possible?" Jack shouted. (He relies on Aingil for that sort of stuff way more than he should) "Alternate universe, duh." I told them. "I mean, really, this isn't our first time dealing with alternate universe stuff. Remember Mack?" Their faces both blanched as they remembered our last experience with alternate universes. I met myself. As a boy. It was weird. They both actually passed out. Mack and I laughed for ages. Written languages were totally different in his universe, though. What we call English he called Brahnish. It was weird, especially when he wrote his name for us. It sort of looked like English, but different, and with English letters, it looked like TRDB. It was weird. Really weird. Anyways, back to the story. "Right... Mack... well, it's not Brahnish... this is going to take some research." Jack finally said. "Alright. See ya later, then." I told them, before going off to see what Halie was doing. A few days later, Jack came to me saying he'd cracked it. He didn't know what the language was, but he could read it. He thinks it's probably like Brahnish in that it sounds like English, but is written completely different, and probably has a different name, too. Curious, I went with him to check it out. "Alright, I'm going to read it once, and then we're going to test it, ok?" "Okay... let's do this." I answered. "Alright... Reum Delcis Colorin Da, Oleum Jeucis Bonin Fa." I started to laugh. It just sounded so silly. Most spells make sense, but this just sounded like a little kid that didn't understand how spells worked tried to write one! "Hey, don't laugh at me, I'm not the one who wrote this." he scolded. "Right, right. It just sounds so silly." "I know, I know. Can we just do this already?" "Fine." I sighed, and got into position. He picked up his wand and chanted, "REUM DELCIS COLORIN DA, OLEUM JEUCIS BONIN FA!" and as he finished, magic arced out of his wand and hit me, and I felt the tingle of a teleportation spell. "JACK! TELE-" was all I got out before I was gone. WHAAAAAAAAAA"Ooh... what happened..." I groaned. My whole body felt weird. Then I realized I couldn't feel my fingers. Then I realized I didn't have any. "WHAAAAAAAA! WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON?" I screamed. I had transformed into... a horse? No... that wasn't right... not a horse, but... something similar... a... pony? "Hello? Is somepony in here? Hello?" came the voice of someone else. I realized I was in a dark room. I tried to summon a candle, but instead of a candle, a glow began to emanate from above my head. I tried to look at it, but it kept moving, just out of sight. "I'm in here! Um... I'll open this door!" I called. Clearly I'd been teleported to a different world, though I had no idea why I was a pony. I tried to walk over to the door, but kept falling. Then I realized ponies walk on four legs, not two, so I tried it. I got over there no problem, though it felt a little strange. Then I realized: how was I supposed to turn the door knob? I could see one in the light from above my head, but I couldn't figure out how to open it. "Um... how do I open the door?" "Um... you turn the door knob?" she answered. Well no duh. "How exactly? I don't exactly have hands to grab it with..." I answered. Then I heard her gasp. "Did you say... hands?" she exclaimed. "Are you a human? Are you from Canterlot High? What are you doing here, how did you get here, and why are you in my castle?" "Uh... yes, I said hands, I was human, now I appear to be a pony, I am not from "Canterlot High", even if I was old enough for high school, I wouldn't be, um, my brother cast a spell from another universe and I just... showed up here." I answered. Then the door opened, and I saw a purple pony with a dark purple mane and tail, with pink highlights. And what appeared to be tattoos on her butt. She also had a horn on her head. A unicorn? I'd heard of unicorns, but they were said to be extinct... well, in my universe, anyways. I wondered how common they were here when something occurred to me. "I'm a unicorn, aren't I?" "Um... yes... you are. And, you're a filly... how old are you?" "Um... 10... I think... Emerald and I haven't really talked about it that much, so I'm not sure. Wait, why did I say Emerald? Why am I calling Emerald Emerald? WHY CAN'T I SAY HIS NAME RIGHT?" I started to panic. "Whoa, now. Calm down. My name is Twilight Sparkle, and I'm the Princess of Friendship. What's your name?" "Um... Harvest Blaze... WHAT. I CAN'T EVEN SAY MY OWN NAME RIGHT? WHAT IS GOING ON HERE." I cried, frustrated. First Jack, now me? Why did I keep calling ponies by these weird names? Ack, I did it again... um... be right back. Author's Note Yeah, I'm doing it. She's being forced into using pony-speak while speaking to ponies. Though I have a plan for her to use human-speak... sort of. LearningAlright. Sorry about that. Old habits die hard. So, where was I? Oh, right, I'd just told Twilight my pony name. "What do you mean, you can't get your name right? Sounds like a pretty simple name to get right." she questioned, looking at me, clearly confused. "No, my name isn't actually Harvest Blaze. It's... something else, but when I try to say it, for some reason I say Harvest Blaze instead. Hm... I wonder if there's a way to work around this problem..." Jack had always told me to find ways around my problems, not to just accept and move on. Figure it out. Then I realized... "My name is like a certain word, but missing one letter. If whatever force this is will let me say that word, then I could probably tell you what letter to remove to make it my name!" I told her. "Oh. Well, that's... interesting. Um, why don't you come with me, and... we can talk somewhere besides the... broom closet..." I looked behind me, and, sure enough. I'd materialized in a broom closet. Great. Just wonderful. With my luck thus far, I wouldn't have been surprised if Wiz had shown up. Thankfully, he didn't. "Right... so... um... do ponies get... married? YES I SAID IT. MARRY. TAKE AWAY AN R." I exclaimed, excited that my plan had worked. "Um, yes, they do, and... Mary? That's a weird name. Not that you're weird, that is! It's just that your name is weird... in that it's unusual! As in, we don't have a lot of ponies with names like that. Unless your special talent is marrying ponies? That would be interesting... not that there's anything wrong with that, I mean-" she chattered, clearly trying to be nice, but realizing that everything she said could be taken badly. Until I interrupted. "SHUSH. It's fine. I know what you mean. Twilight Sparkle isn't exactly normal where I'm from. Neither is Harvest Blaze, or Midnight Emerald. So yeah, don't worry about it." I told her, stepping out of the broom closet. "Man this feels weird." "What? What feels weird? Are you sick? Do you need something? Medicine? Blankets? Water? Food?" she started to go on again. "AH!" I interrupted again. "I'm fine. It's just weird to be walking like this. I'm used to going around on two legs, not four. That's all." "Oh. Okay. Well, follow me. Oh! I wonder what Starlight would think of this..." she said, clearly meaning the second part to be kept to herself. "I heard that." I smiled. "What? Heard what? Hehehehehe..." she laughed, nervously. "Hey, it's fine. I'm teasing. So, princess, huh? Will I get to meet her majesty?" I asked her. "Princess Celestia? Oh, no... though she would probably be very interested... come to think of it, that might be a good idea... I mean-" "Whoa whoa whoa. Princess Celestia? What about the Queen? Or the King?" "What? Equestria doesn't have a Queen or King. Just the Princesses. There's Princess Celestia, who raises the sun, Princess Luna, who raises the moon, Princess Cadence, who rules the Crystal Empire, and me, the Princess of Friendship." she told me, just as we walked into the throne room. "Whoa..." I whispered, wide-eyed at the decor. "Is that a map of the world? That's a lot of thrones. What's with those symbols? What the! Two of them just showed up there! What's that about?" I chattered as Twilight ran over to the map table thing. "Those symbols are cutie marks, and it looks like two of my friends just got called on a friendship quest." she answered. Seemingly both excited and disappointed. Somehow. "What's a cutie mark? I mean, I get that those symbols are cutie marks, but... what makes them cutie marks?" I asked. "A cutie mark is a representation of a pony's special talent, what makes them special. Like my cutie mark. My special talent is magic. Rarity is a designer, but she is capable of a special spell that lets her find gems. AppleJack is an apple farmer, and Pinkie Pie is a party planner. Rainbow Dash is capable of doing the Sonic Rainboom, and Fluttershy is good with animals, understanding them on a level most ponies can't." she answered, motioning towards each throne as she said their names and talents.
