Chapter 1:The Beginning

You awoke to the sound of thunder, quickly jolting up as you were not sure of what time of the day it was. A breeze hits your face as you realize something is amiss.

"Were am I?"

You ask not sure what has happened since you last fell asleep. You remember rushing home after school let out, you still had your uniform on a blue blazer with blue jeans that seemed to fit quite oddly on you. You were always on the bigger side not so much fat as just large though you could stand to lose a few pounds, you were around 15 years of age an oddball of a kid but you seemed to fit in wherever you went. You were mostly a carefree guy nice for the most part, though you wont lie and said you had your own outburst from time to time.

The scenery is dark and mystifying, the place around you seems cold. You look around and see a castle basked in a cold moonlight night.

"Hello?"

You ask coldly half hoping that no one responds. There is nothing but silence. Since it seems nobody is home you decide to got into the castle not sure what to expect only hoping to get out of the night as the cold is starting to affect your breathing.

Inside the castle is even more of an oddity, but yet you feel a warmth coming from somewhere. You get a sudden urge to find what is causing this warm feeling, and so you go from room to room not really getting closer to finding what is causing this warm feeling. You checked every room except a pair of stairs going into what seems like nothingness.

You gather up your courage and decide to head down the stairs, not really knowing what awaits you. As you descend the warm feeling gets lighter and your body starts to warm.

"What is going on here I feel so.....funny?"

You break out into an odd laughter as the warm light starts to make you feel happy, as you get near the end you see a light, yet this light is not what you think its as if a swarm of dark blue surrounds you as you get to the final step of the stars lies a blue door with an engraving which you cant quite make out, except 1 word.

"Sorry"

You read the word and as you do you hear something.

"Hello is anyone there"

A meek voice calls out to you it sounded like whoever it was they sounded hurt.

You decide not to respond for some reason and only start to slowly open the door there you see a purple pony eyes glowing surrounded by an odd light. She calls out again as she heard the door opening.

"Is anyone there I cant see for some reason"

"Um hi." you respond

"Hello can you help me?"

she asks unsurely

"help you with what?" you ask

"I'm not quite sure to be honest I was just reading a book called ordained light when suddenly theres a flash of light I feel surrounded by magic and I cant move or see." she says.

"wait magic?" you respond

"yes? haven't you ever heard of magic?" she quips at you.

"No" you say "but ive also never seen a pastel colored horse with wings and a horn either, and the fact you talk is throwing me for a loop."

"you've never seen a pony before?" she ask almost dumbfounded

"well no ive seen a pony before, they just don't talk, have wings, or horns." You answer

"then what kind of creature are you?" she asks

"Human" you answer after a few seconds

"what's a human?" she asks

You ponder this for a bit not sure on how to respond exactly you weren't the best at describing what people look like.

"I think it would be easier if you saw me first." you answer honestly. "So how can I help you"

She goes quite for a bit wondering how to answer.

"first off I need to discover were I am. the light had traces of teleportation magic so I'm not sure where we are." She states

"well we are in a castle of sort, kinda run down with banners of the sun and moon around." you answer

"So we are in the Castle of the Two Sisters." she exclaims. "which means we are in the Everfree Forest so I doubt I could have you get to my friends for help."

"how would your friends be able to help, maybe I might help to fill the roll?" you ask

"its not that simple." she snips "we are linked to the Elements of Harmony, each of embodying a trait of that element brining forth the most powerful of magic through friendship."

You laugh inwardly at that

"So as long as you are the bestest of friends all your problems are solved." you say jokingly

"No its more than that. its the embodiment of the traits of Harmony. Laughter, Honesty, Loyalty, Kindness, Generosity, and the element of magic itself." she says with a tone of annoyance in her voice

"Hey I was just joking, you know more than me about this magic stuff, I don't even get what's going on let alone were I am and why there is a talking Pony with wings and a horn."

"Ahh we haven't even introduced ourselves, I am Twilight Sparkle the Princess of Friendship."

"of course you are." you say jokingly again "Name's Leo.....huh." you stop unsure of something

"I guess I don't remember my last name." you say wondering "o well"

"O well that seems a bit to easygoing to not know your own name." She says with a worried look on her face

"I'll deal with it later so." you say a little forcefully "So these Elements of Harmony would be able to save you from whatever this is."

"More than likely they are quite powerful." she states

"So weird this light is quite amazing its made me feel giddy since I got here."

You stick your hand out as the light in the room starts to pull in toward your palm your not sure why but you feel comfortable with it.

"really? its making me feel kinda odd" Twilight says as if she's starting to enter a trance

Suddenly the source of light grows stronger as you look behind Twilight and see a dark blue stone is emitting the light and is getting brighter. Suddenly Twilight is starting to slur as it seems her conscious is fading.

"Twilight?!" you shout as the room is getting Brighter.

Not sure of what to do in the panic you decide anything is better than nothing you run toward the Blue stone and start yanking as hard as you can! except that was the plan as you pull the stone comes loose immediately and the light slowly dissipates from the room.

"Huh well that wa-." you stop short as a pain shoots from your hand.

The pain slowly starts to travel up your arm as does the stone seeming to move through your skin like water. You let out a shriek as the stone makes way to your chest, as it does you fall to the ground as your conscious leaves you.
