The Magicless Adventures of Anon

The next morning, as the sun rises, and the light hits your face waking you up, you hear a voice.

“Good morning, are you done snoring?”

“I-I don’t snore! …Do I?”

Zecora laughs and opens the front door. “Tis a five-mile walk, on the way we can talk.”

You discussed the ponies you will be meeting today. The first pony you will try to meet is called Twilight Sparkle. You were laughing a bit at her name when Zecora gave you a stern look and informed you that she was apparently a mix between all three types of ponies, that you just learned about. Namely, a unicorn’s magic horn, the strong body of an earth pony, and wings of a pegasus are all combined to make a new creature called an alicorn. To make maters worse, this one is apparently a princess and in charge of both magic and friendship issues.

The second pony is called Rarity. She owns and operates a boutique and is a close friend of Twilight Sparkle. She is also something called an element of harmony. That means she represents a portion of friendship, in this case generosity, and that somehow lets her shoot out an immensely powerful magic when she works with the other elements of harmony. The whole thing is giving you a bit of a headache and a lot of anxiety.

While you are processing all of this, you fail to notice that you are in front of a large crystalline tree with a large matching tree-house or is that a crystal castle within a crystal tree?

That does not matter as much as that this place is where you are headed. As you walk, you notice many pastel colored ponies of various colors, sizes, and … butt tattoos?

They watch you and Zecora heading towards the odd crystal structure, give what you think are knowing looks and then resume what they were doing before.

When you both arrive at the large door of your destination, Zecora knocks a few times with her front hoof.

You hear a muffled, “I’m coming, don’t leave!” followed by a series of dulled yelps and crashing sounds before the door slowly swings open.

In front of you stands an approximately 2-foot-tall purple and green bipedal talking lizard. SO, that’s a thing now.

“Oh! Hi, Zecora! Are you here to s-see… M-MONSTER!?!?!! Zecora, watch out! There is a monster behind you!”
