Eric blinked and adjusted his eyes to his surroundings. There wasn't much of a difference... except for the fact that everything was at least 20 times bigger than him. He was still in a dark place,
surrounded by things he can actually see and recognize. Enormous trees upon trees upon trees. Huge plants, the sound of insects, and the extremely huge increase in magic in the air.

"It's almost like this world Navadia wanted me to protect is magical... Well, at least my mana will restore faster." Eric shrugged. Eric took a step forward.

"Well, let's get started then. I can't protect this world if I don't know who lives on it. Not like I have much of a choice anyways... Navadia could have left me there to perish but he didn't. I'm not going to not uphold my side of the deal especially if he saved my life." Eric swore. He continued walking, the leaves the size of his entire body.

"Ugh.. Everything is so big... I can use magic right?" Eric thought. He tried making himself float. He immediately just shot through to the top of the trees before he stopped himself from going any higher. Eric panted from the adrenaline rush.

"Holy shit. The air even conducts my magic more easily. It would have took 5 times the amount of effort put into this spell in my world..."

Eric floated even higher to get a better view of the entire forest. He cast a spell on himself to let him have better vision. Looking around, far far away, he saw a village or town of sorts. The travel would have taken 2 days, if not for this world conducting magic better and his huge increase of mana. He again cast a spell to make him go faster, making the travel time only 1 hour. "Ah.. when my magic comes to good use." Eric smiled. He started to travel to the town, unknowingly the ones he was suppose to protect were there.

50 Minutes later...

He soon slowed down and cancelled the spells. He could see the town more clearly now. There were...ponies there?

"Those were definitely ponies... with horns or wings?"Eric thought. He only heard of them in fairy tales. He slowly floated to the town when he heard a scream nearby. He arrived at the source of the scream in a second. He looked around, his hair ruffled slightly. He saw a group of frightful,colorful ponies with 2 of each having at least a horn, wing or nothing at all except for one which had both and was extra purple.

Suddenly he heard a menacing roar. His eyes shot open in surprise as he saw the source of the roar. It was an entire enormous pack of wooden wolves with green eyes and right beside them an entire group of dozens of manticores.

"Woah.. What are those?" Eric thought. "Girls! Stick together!" The purple one shouted.

"Twilight this isn't normal! There shouldn't be so many manticores and timber wolves in this far out of the Everfree Forest!" A yellow pony, the one who was shaking the most, said to the purple one, which she called Twilight.
"Don't worry Fluttershy! I'll protect you!" A rainbow coloured maned pony stood in front of the yellow one, called Fluttershy.

They didn't have much chance to talk anymore though. All the manticores and timber wolves had already surrounded them, glowering. Twilight had a burst of magic from her horn and a barrier soon surrounded them in between the manticores and timber wolves. "I can't let the girls be hurt!" Twilight thought worriedly. Eric's eyes widen on the use of magic.
"So, they can use magic too huh...Well, no time to waste I guess. I can't let this ponies die on me even if they are so huge." Eric thought.

He constructed a plan right then and there.

His eyes glowed sky blue as he put a even stronger barrier and bigger one on top of Twilight's barrier, ensuring the creatures won't hurt them while they talk. He teleported in the barrier right in front of Twilight as her eyes widened on the sight of another stronger sky blue barrier on top of hers. Eric telepathically asked Twilight and the 5 others,"Are you girls ok?" All heads soon snapped to him.

Twilight soon said,"We're fine. But are you the one who put this barrier? Who are you? You're so small yet so strong...how?" Eric soon replied,

"I am. I am Eric and I was travelling to a nearby town when I heard a scream and saw this... disaster. He looked at the creatures trying to break his barrier. Not even a scratch.

" Sorry, but I have to take care of this mess first." He canceled the telepathy between all of them.

Eric levitated every creature that was outside the barrier. He cast an illusion of himself to make himself look as big as the manticore. It was almost like someone stopped time. He levitated the leader of each group forward and every other back.

"Why are you here?" Eric asked with a magically amplified tone to make those who hear it nervous or scared. Both enormous creatures' ears folded back and said at the same time," Our territory has been destroyed with evidence that the ponies did it. We want...revenge.

Eric didn't move and asked the girls telepathically,"Was the town ever once part of the forest?" The orange pony answered,"It was. My old granny told me." Once he had his answer, he looked back at the creatures. They just wanted their territory back. He then told the leaders,"I will help you get new territory, however, your kind must never tread this near to this part of this forest or attack the ponies." The leaders looked at each other and back at Eric and nodded. He soon let the other creatures down. The leaders of the groups telling them to stop fighting. And the leaders did something he and the girls didn't expect at all. They bowed to him. The rest of the creatures soon followed their leader's example and bowed, leaving the Eric and the girls stunned.
"You have our respect. If we are ever needed, please do not hesitate to ask for our call."
"I'll take that offer. Please rest as it must have been a huge effort to gather this much of you're kind in one place. I'll get you back during the week. Please let me put a tracker on you so I can find you the next time and help you find new territory." Eric eyes glowed as he put the trackers in the form of symbol on each creature, with the leaders having a different symbol. The creatures bowed once more before retreating back into the forest.

Eric canceled his illusion. He stumbled forward drowsily. "Wow...That took a lot out of me... It's been such a long time since I used that much mana." He thought as he landed on the ground softly and slept.

"Um..Girls? That small little critter just used magic right? It ain't mah eyes trickin me ain't it?" AppleJack asked.

"No AppleJack.. We all saw it." Twilight said. Twilight stared at the now empty space where the timberwolves and manticores' used to be, growling at them.

"What are we going to do about... Eric right? He just saved our butts. We can't just leave him like that in the the Everfree." Rainbow Dash admitted even when her pride got a hit.

"We can't leave him there. True. But can we even bring him to Ponyville? He has strong magic, admittingly he could even maybe overpower me. He could be dangerous." Twilight wisely told the girls.

"um girls? We could bring him to my cottage and see what happens... if you want... Fluttershy muttered.

"What?! But we can't just leave him with you alone! What if he hurts you when he wakes up? No one would be there to protect you!" Rainbow Dash retaliated.

"I'll stay with Fluttershy. If anything goes south, I'll be there to help her." Twilight told Rainbow.

"Fine! Only if I can come too." Rainbow Dash agreed. The rest of the girls nodded. Twilight tried levitating Eric up, only for her magic to fail. Twilight's and Rarity's eyes widened. "Darling... You did just try to pick him up right?" Rarity asked.
Twilight nodded and tried again, with the same results as the previous. "It's almost like trying to pick up Bedrock. Bedrock doesn't conduct magic, which is why unicorns can't levitate it. Eric uses magic. So why can't I pick him up?" Twilight thought.

"Well, I guess we have to pick him up with hooves then. Fluttershy, would you mind helping us carry him? You have the most experience carrying small creatures." Twilight turned and asked Fluttershy.

"Oh! I wouldn't mind at all Twilight..." Fluttershy said nervously. Even after all these years trying to conquer her anxiety and nervousness, she still had it. It was just in her blood. Fluttershy slowly stepped forward and gentlely picked Eric up with 2 hooves. He was the same size as her hoof.

"Great. Thanks Fluttershy. Now, before we get attacked by any more hostile creatures, let's get out of here girls." Twilight said. The girls nodded and each touched Twilight before Twilight focused and teleported them out of the Everfree.

Twilight teleported them in front of everyone's home, except for Rainbow and herself. Fluttershy, Rainbow and Twilight opened their eyes to see Fluttershy's homey, natural cottage. Fluttershy beamed. She always felt more comfortable in her little cottage than anywhere else in Ponyville. Fluttershy asked quietly,"Um.. Girls? Could you open the door for me? My..hooves are full." Rainbow opened the door for Flutters and cautiously moved into her cottage. It wasn't the first time she had been here after all. The last time she been here....Rainbow cringed. Albeit slowly, they all managed to move into Fluttershy's home.

"Well, Hello,hello,hello my dear ponies." The rabbit that was resting on the couch nearby suddenly said. Discord flashed into his natural, albeit chaotic form in front of the girls. "Hello Discord." Fluttershy nodded. Rainbow sneered while Twilight just smiled and waved a hoof.

"What brings you here? Oh! Lemme guess. That poor little tiny creature Flutters is holding?" Discord brought his lion paw to his chin.

"Discord, could you maybe make a small bed for Eric? I doubt he would want to wake up in a place where the bed he was sleeping on was forty times bigger than him." Fluttershy asked Discord.

"Oh don't worry poor Fluttershy, consider it done. Enjoy a cup of chocolate milk everypony!" Discord disappeared in a flash and with it, appeared a small bed that was small enough to fit Eric and 3 cups of warm chocolate milk.

"......I still don't like Discord." Rainbow said slowly.

"Oh he isn't that bad" Fluttershy said, while putting Eric slowly into the newly made bed. Twilight nodded.

"He made me fly into a thundercloud, drink chocolate milk for a week, and made me sit down in the exact same spot for an hour. I can understand the first two, but there is no bucking way I can stand sitting down in the exact same spot for an hour without moving. That crosses the line." Rainbow glared at the now empty spot Discord used to be.

Twilight sighed. She could understand her feelings, even sympathize with her. But she never hated Discord. Not even when he caused Princess Celestia and Luna to be kidnapped by those vines. She always had a liking to his type of personality even if it goes against her very nature. She was neat and tidy, he was chaotic and random. She kind of liked his type of personality since young. It was interesting. She HAS found his annoying sometimes, but understood that it was just in his nature to do it.

"Now, what are we going to do with Eric? He is very good with magic, and the amount of mana he has for such a small body is unimagineable. He's a very small target too. If there was ever a need to attack him, he could use his magic to move quicker, making him an almost impossible target to hit. It's almost like trying to use a needle to kill bacteria." Twilight said.

Fluttershy slowly lifted the small blanket over Eric and placed the bed on her couch. "Well.. From what I have seen, he isn't hostile. He saved our lives back at the Everfree, even if all we saw was him staring at them." Fluttershy uttered.

"We should give him a chance. Like Fluttershy said, he saved our lives after all." Rainbow told Twilight.

"We'll let him be. Sorry girls. I'm just a little put off my the talent he has with magic with such a small body." Twilight's cheeks turned reddish. "It's ok Twilight." Fluttershy hugged her.

2 days later...

Eric slowly opened his eyes. He never slept in such a comfy bed, with such a peaceful sleep before. "Where am I...? Wasn't I in that forest just awhile ago? Wait. Wasn't everything in this world bigger? Those ponies were a lot bigger than me too. Then why is this bed so small? Bleh. I'm not complaining. This got to be the most comfortable bed I ever slept in my life. " Eric shrugged. He slowly got out of his covers and stood on top of his bed. "Now...where am I?" Eric levitated himself out of his bed, only to see a cottage. Except much much bigger than the last time he had been in one. He slowly floated around.
