"Tis thee the end of thee line for thou villain!" I hear before turning around from a deadend in this forest, the voice came from the older of the two females now in front of me.

"Well, might as well look epic while in stone..." I quietly say positioning my sword and shield in a certain way to face off against them, six colorful gems started to glow and form what looked like a very large atom, too bad I knew what this meant, the 'Celestial Sisters' were about to use the Elements of Harmony on me…

"Daddy! No!" I hear off to my left, I notice my unofficial adopted daughter looking at me in fear and sorrow, I reach out to her via my mind link with her.

"Don't worry Mi Amore, i'll be fine, now i need you to grab my spellbook back in the cave, along with anything else i left, place it in the gold bag, it'll hold it, i don't want it falling in your auntie's hands, I know you'll bring me back one day Mi Amore, but until then, I'll wait for you in you're dreams, live on Mi Amore, live on and prosper against everything life throws at you, just like nature, be strong, and most importantly, continue to love others as you love yourself, goodbye for now my lovely daughter, my Mi Amore…" I tell her before the rainbow light hits and I turn back to the sisters, looking down at the ground slightly.

Before I turned completely into a statue, I noticed her running off towards my home quickly, I smiled sadly, knowing I won't be able to hug her for a very long time before closing my eyes, one tear fell to the ground before I became fully petrified in my new prison.

Now… you're probably wondering who I am, well, I can gladly tell you, my name is, or rather was, Tyrone H. Evans, i have no idea why i was named that, but hey, why not… now i'm a brony, yeah, i like Mlp, get over it haters, anyways, i liked the show, especially the seventh season, so it makes sense that i'd freak out by waking up in the Everfree forest. I was also a 'Roleplayer' as some would call it, which i technically am, i'm talking about D&D, or Dungeons and Dragons, my favorite Tabletop-RPG game, it'd also make sense that i'd go to a gaming convention dressed as my favorite character, my own Half-elf Druid-Wizard by the name of Emerald Summereyes, or 'Forest Fire', who had quite the background story. Now, i had kept the character sheet and my own figurine of how he looked so i could create clothes for him, I lived with my brother and sister, who were both older than me, my sister being twenty-three and my brother being twenty-one while I was eighteen, so yeah, but we got by just fine where we lived actually, which was a pretty nice place, anyways, the three of us all went to a convention as some sort of character from a game, my sister chose to go as her D&D character, a human Bard-Cleric by name of Sophia Summersheild, and my brother went as his character, a half-orc Paladin by the name of Grognir Sunhammer. Now we all had something missing from our costumes, I needed a spell book that contained all of the druid and wizard spells in it, sis was missing a holy symbol for her deity, who was Pharasma, the goddess of life and death, the symbol was a yin-yang with a skull as the black dot and a leaf as the white dot, now my brother, he was missing his character's dual-headed war hammer, sadly, we couldn't get one, so we had to hope that we could find one at the convention and we did, we found all three things at a booth where the guy looked like the merchant from RE4, but i knew who he really was, I read enough fanfics to know what's going to happen, the conversation went like this.

"Ah sweet, check this out guys, it's the holy symbol i needed to complete my look!" my sister said as we were passing by a booth, making us stop and look, it was indeed the exact symbol she needed.

We also found some other things, like weapons, wizard staves, books, but one thing caught my attention, it was a crimson red book with the golden letters 'Spellbook' on it, after looking through it, I found every spell a druid and wizard can have, even some bard, paladin, alchemist, and even cleric spells in it.

"Wow, this book is what I need to complete my look too." I say as a man comes up to us.

"Ah, I see you found something you are interested in, the holy symbol of Pharasma and the book of many spells… quite the interesting choice." He said getting us to look at him, we were surprised to see the merchant from Resident Evil 4 standing there.

"Yeah… hey, by the way, do you happen to have a dual-sided war hammer?" my sister asks, getting him to scratch his chin a little bit before looking underneath the table, and bringing out the exact hammer my brother needed.

"Will this do?" He asks, having my brother take it and examine it.

"Yeah, this will definitely do, thanks." He replied putting the hammer in his belt loop.

"How much for all three?" I asked getting my wallet out.

"Hmm… well, since i'm feeling generous right now, how about… seventy-five dollars for everything." He said… and that's where I got the connection, this guy wasn't just any merchant, he was the merchant.

"Alright, here you go." I say handing him the money smiling.

"Thank you, and have a safe trip there." He says before both my brother and sister collapse on the ground, my vision is still good, but starting to fade.

"Hey merch, can I ask a favor of ya?" I ask, much to his surprise.

"I suppose, since you're still standing." He says looking at me curiously.

"Okay, so I know who you are, and where the three of us are about to wake up, but could you please send us to an antro-omnivore world?" I ask my vision getting worse, but i'm still standing… somewhat.

He seems to think it over before nodding. "For resisting a very powerful sleep spell for this long, and for asking nicely, I can do that." He says getting me to smile.

"Thanks merch, you're the best." I say before collapsing on the ground next to my siblings.

After whom I assumed was the youngest of the three of them collapsed I found a world that he asked for and snapped my fingers, the three of them vanished in a flash of light before I turned around and headed into the small tent behind my stand, another man was waiting for me.

"Well, that took longer than expected, what took so long?" He asked me, curious as to why I didn't send them sooner.

"One of them had a special request as to where I sent them, it was quite impressive, he was able to resist the spell for five minutes before falling to its effects" I reply getting a surprised look from my old man.

"That's impressive indeed, where did he want the three of them to be sent?" He asks me to glance at him before a portal opens up.

"An anthropomorphic and omnivore world, which there isn't a lot, but I was able to find one, he'll be the first to arrive, pre-Nightmare time, the other two will most likely arrive between Nightmare and Discord." I answer before going through the portal, the old man right behind me.

“Very well… good work kiddo, you did well.” he says before the portal closes and our stand vanishes from thin air, as if it never existed in the first place.

<<<??? - ??? - Tyrone’s POV>>>

“Uhg… where in the nine hells am I?” I asked myself as I woke up in the middle of a forest, my senses were going wild, almost as if I could hear the trees around me, it was too loud for me to listen to, but trying to block the noise out for now was the best i could do, getting up I looked around and saw my book leaning against a tree, perfectly clean.

“Cause that's totally not weird in the slightest.” I think as I pick up the book, opening it up, I notice that most of the words are blurry and grey while the spells that are classified as cantrips, or 0LV spells are in bold black, along with its effects explaining what each spell does.

“Interesting, it looks like I have to level up, or practice my magic in order for me to unlock the next level of spells… but what happened?” I ask myself aloud as I try to remember what happened, the convention and the conversation with the merchant comes to the forefront of my mind.

“Ah… right, i'm in Equestria… I'M IN EQUESTRIA!!” I think before the realization about my situation settles in, I notice that it's about to become night. “Okay, so i'm either some time after season 1 or i'm before season 1, which would also make sense.” I think before walking up to a dirt road, not too far off I see a non-destroyed version on the castle of the two sisters, with solar guards patrolling the walls. “I guess that answers that, i'm before Nightmare Moon, which means the first episode of MLP won't be for another thousand years, which means that I'll need to be petrified until that time comes.” I think before finding a cave that looks abandoned, well kept, but otherwise abandoned.

I set my book down on a stone and went over all of my things, I had now very real weapons, a silver short sword, dark oak shield, a five foot glaive, a backpack full of items that I'll look at later, and a short bow with a quiver of sixty arrows on me as equipment, for clothes, i had the standard adventurers gear, but since i'm a druid, I've got no metal armor on, but I do notice that I've got blue dragon-mail armor on, which helps, as that's the best armor a druid can have, unfortunately, I only have the breastplate, when my character had full head to toe armor, which means the pieces are missing, and i'm going to have to find them. Looking through my bag, I see a bunch of handy items, including rations and some water, which made me happy.

"Okay, so I don't have much water so i'm going to have to go out and find a river or something to keep my water supply up… I think I've got enough rations to last a good two, maybe three months if I stretch it…" I think to myself pulling out five rather large bags of wrapped rations and four large water-skins out of my bag, what i didn't notice was something creeping up behind me, until I was tackled to the ground.

"Okay… ow… that wasn't nice." I say trying to see what had tackled me to the ground.

"Sorry… I was just bored and I saw you enter this cave, and I was curious as to what you are." I hear behind me as the pressure on my back leaves.

"It's fine, but don't sneak up on me again, i don't have that well of a control on my powers and you could've gotten hurt." I say sitting up and facing the girl who tackled me, what I saw was a girl, probably around five or six years old, her fur was a nice shade of dark pink, she also had three colors in her mane, gold, blue and a light pink, I even saw a horn on her head, making her a unicorn, I immediately knew who this was, but I just wanted to be sure. "What's your name little one?" I ask, getting her to sit down in front of me.

"My name's Mi Amore Cadenza, but i prefer Cadence, what's you're name?" She asks, confirming my suspicions.

"You may call me Forest Flare, Cadence." I reply, getting her to smile, then look at me curiously.

"Mr.Flare, are you a Minotaur?" She asks getting me to chuckle.

"No, i'm not a Minotaur, i'm more like a distant cousin of them." I reply getting ready to explain.

"Really?" She asks to which i nod. "How are you a cousin to an entire species?" She asks, I smirk, waiting for that question.

"Well i'm not a hundred percent sure on the specifics, but I'll tell you what I know of my ancestors, okay, so some Minotaurs didn't like the way they were living, and this was a very very long time ago, but they eventually moved away from their homes, going to live someplace else, and over time they didn't require their superior strength anymore, so they started to grow shorter, and not as muscular, but in return, they started making advancements to their way of life. This eventually evolved into the race known as 'Humans', but they weren't the only ones around where they lived, no, there were different races living there too, like the Elves, they were a cunning race that lived deep within forests, they were the first race to practice magic, then there were the Dwarves, small but power beings that lived inside of the heart of mountains." I started explaining to her, she was looking at me in awe at my explanation of my 'history'. "Let's see, the three races weren't that friendly to each other, but they eventually found peace and prospered from one another, i eventually came to this world from my parents, my father being an elf, and my mother a human, making me a half-elf." I say concluding my explanation to Cadence, she was in awe.

"Wow, so you are half human and half elf?" She asks, I simply nod my head in confirmation.

"Yes, though i'm not the only half being to exist, there are half-dwarfs, half-drows, half-orcs, half-dragons, or Dragonborns, but that's most of them." I say going over all of the half human creatures I know of from the game.

"Wow, that's so cool! Wait, does this mean you have magic?" She asks getting me to chuckle.

"Yes, though i'm not as strong as I'd like to be, i can only do cantrips so far, but one day, I'll be able to perform powerful magic." I reply grabbing the spellbook from the rock I set it on.

"What are cantrips?" She asks, getting me to smirk while opening the book.

"Very low leveled magic, some of the first spells any magic user is taught." I replied looking over the spells for the wizard first, as I could probably be able to teach them to her too.

"Like levitation?" She asks getting you to look at her sadly.

"Sadly no, levitation is a little more powerful kind of spell, ponies are just so connected to their magic that it is a cantrip for you're kind." I replied, getting her to touch her horn in realization. "If you want, I could teach you some cantrips, i'm also learning, so we can teach each other." I say getting her to look at me in wonder and excitement.

"Will it be hard? Cause I like a challenge." She says getting you to laugh.

"It may be hard at first, but when you master these, casting them will be as easy as breathing." I say, much to her joy.

"Then let's practice!" She says, getting you to chuckle.

"Okay then, the first cantrip is called… Resistance, let's see, by casting this spell, the caster can imbue the target with a small resistance to attacks thrown at the target…" I say looking at the book, Cadence looks at me weird.

"That's a weird spell to start off with…" she says, getting a soft laugh out of me.

"Well, my home isn't like Equestria, it's a little more violent than I'd like to say, so spells like this one are pretty useful back home." I replied, getting her to 'o' in realization.

"So if anypony starts fighting me, will this spell help me defend myself?" She asks, I nod in confirmation.

"Exactly, though, there are some more powerful defensive spells than this one, but it'll be awhile until we reach those." I reply looking back at the book. "Okay… this should be easy to say… ready?" I ask looking at her, she nods before closing her eyes and relaxing. "Okay, here it goes… Resistenza." I say while placing one finger on her forehead, a small outline of white surrounds her before fading.

"Did it work?" She asks, opening her eyes, looking at her body to see if anything changed.

"Only one way to find out…" I say grabbing a smallish stone off of the ground near me. "I'm going to throw this rock at you, I want you to defend yourself without using magic." I say getting her to nod before crossing her arms in front of her face.

I threw the stone with some force behind it, the white glow I briefly saw earlier came back just as the stone was about to hit her, stopping it from actually hitting her. The stone dropped to the ground right after, apparently losing momentum.

"Did it work?" She asks, slowly opening her eyes.

"Aie, it did, from what I could tell, the spell gave off a small glow when you defend yourself from the stone, stopping it in its tracks, making it lose momentum and fall to the ground." I replied writing it down in another book, I was going to write everything that had to do with how my new magic worked in this one, so I can have a future reference, or in case I die and can't teach this magic again.

"Can I try it now?" She asks almost jumping up and down in place, making me smile.

"Of course, all you have to do is place one finger on me and say what i said, i'll keep my eyes open to see if you do it correctly." I reply, to which she nods and closes her eyes, I notice her horn glowing as she prepares the spell. "Don't use your horn Cadence, it'll give off the fact that you're casting a spell to begin with." I tell her to which she sighs and stops casting.

"How can i do that though, it feels so natural to cast it out of my horn." She replies sitting down dejected.

"How about I help you learn how to use your body as the magic expander instead of your horn, then we can come back to the cantrips." I say getting her to smile at the idea.

"Okay, let's do it." She says before we head out of the cave i'm now calling home and towards a waterfall that she knew of.
