Chapter 1

In the deepest part of Twilight´s consciousness, where the only thing that could be seen as an endless void full of darkness, in a peculiar place, hard to spot, there was a mysterious small island covered with flowers and grass with a wooden cabin; Inside the cabin, you could see a teenage girl reading, floating in the air with several other books floating around her, she had two purple wings attached to her back, green eyes surrounded by flames of the same colour, Lavander skin, dark purple hair with a pink stripe and a large greenhorn located on her forehead which looked like it was in a bad condition due to have holes on it; She was wearing a dark purple short dress, matching high heel boots with dark purple gloves and a collar around her neck with a jewel, which had the form of a purple star.

In the interior of the cabin, surrounding her was a large pile of books that were spread all around the room, a large wooden desk with some written paper and pencils on top of it, a big bowl which contained a green glowing liquid, at the same side of it, was spot a mirror and a big library that occupied a wall of the room, containing a large number of books.

Meanwhile, as the girl was finishing reading the book, then, changing to another book that was floating near her, opening the book and reading the first few pages, as she was doing so, she spotted something that caught her attention and closed the book, suddenly all the other books that were floating in the air were dropped to the floor, she then floated to the desk and took an artefact from it, the statue was made of crystals with the form of a ring, she looks close to it, growing a ring in her face as she did so, "now with this artefact and the spell that a found I will be able to escape this horrible prison that Twilight and her friends put me in, but I, Midnight Sparkles, I will succeed, no matter the cost" she says, while preparing to cast the spell.

[***************]

Martin was a normal fourteen-year-old kid with a simple life, going to school every day, studying, hanging out with friends, nothing out of the ordinary.

He sometimes thinks about how he did the same routine every day, his group of friends was small and a little entertaining to hang out with, but it was what he had; the only thing that he cared about the most was his family, which was the only thing that motivated him to keep going in life; between his family members where his mom, his dad, his little brother and his grandma, in his family everyone helped each other with activities, school, housework, everything.

As months progressed, he was becoming more lonely and depressed each day, he hangs out less and less with his friends, as his family noticed this, they planned a camping trip on the long weekend to cheer him up, which made him felt a little better; so the day after the camping trip he prepared the luggage and he cooked some food for the road trip.
Later that day, at night, he went to bed, exhausted of all the work that he had done as a gratitude to his family on planning the trip only to make him feel better, and so he fell asleep excited about tomorrow, nothing in the world can ruin this. Little did he know that something unfortunate was waiting for him.

[****************]

When Midnight finally finishes the preparations of the spell, drawing a circular ruin in the middle of the room, she then floated the centre of the ruin, levitating the ring above her and began casting the spell; as she was doing so, the ruin around her lighted up in a bright purple colour, making everything around the room float; suddenly a portal was opened, as it did so, she felt her soul essence left her body and went throw it.

[****************]

The next day, Martin woke up happy at seven am, because today his family was going on the camping trip he was so excited about.
As he left his bed to go downstairs, something unexpected happened, a portal opened above his room´s roof!!!, Martin saw this with confusion and fear of what was happening at the moment, then he felt himself being lifted by an unknown force, separating his soul from his body, then he felt himself being lifted slowly by an unknown force, making him go throw the portal, as he left his room, now being in a new place, surrounded by only one thing, darkness, that was everything that he could see and nothing more than that, but that changed later when another portal was being formed at the distance when it was fully opened, something crossed throw it, revealing a being likely resembling a human shape.

He couldn't confirm if it was another person or something else as he didn't have a clear view of it, but when he took a better look at what came to throw the other portal, he spotted a teenage girl, as the two were getting more and more closer for a reason, he realised something odd, at her back, she had, what he believed were wings, a large glowing horn on the top of her forehead, flaming eyes.

As they were more close than before, he got a better looked at her, her clothes were a bit, impressive; she was wearing a dark purple short dress, matching high heel boots with dark purple gloves and a collar around her neck with a jewel with the form of a purple star; she also had Lavander skin and for his surprise, she had wings, green flaming eyes and a glowing horn!!!, she also looked much older than him, around seventeen.

When the two of them met, he felt a bit scared of her intimidating wings and the creepy smile she was showing, she then got a bit close to him and swispeard something into his ear, "thanks for taking my place", Martin was confused at what she said, but when she finished talking, a pink flame surrounded them, at this, he closed his eyes for a moment, when the flames exctinted, he opened them again to be surprised at what he was seeing, he was shocked, in the same spot the girl was standing, suddenly, appeared in front of his vision sight, him??!!!, but something was wrong, ‘he’ had the same creepy smile of the girl that was in front of him a moment ago, then something unexpected happened, the other him, put his hands in his shoulders and with enough strength, threw him throw the breach, where the girl came out before he looked at himself entering the portal where he came out, ‘he’ said in what he could hear was his voice," goodbye ME", and left, then the portal closed.

At this, Martin cried “Nooooooooo!!!!” before falling into the remaining portal, as he passes throw it, suddenly hitting with something solid and falling unconscious into the floor of an unfamiliar place to him; for now.

[*****************]

When Martin woke up, he felt a pain in his back which was disturbing him, as a result, he tried to stand up, but when he did so he fell, noticing a change in his balance, which was strange for him at first; then he felt another pain in his forehead that was oddly annoying, but when he raises his hand to touch his head, he sees that it was now slender and it was lavender!! ; as he noticed that, he looks around at an unfamiliar place to him, it wasn´t his room for sure, but it looked like he was inside a house.

Then in his point of view, he spots a mirror at his left, near a big library field with books, as he stands up, this time without losing balance, he rushes to it, at a moment when he stands in front of the mirror to take a look at himself, he freezes in place and stares at what he is looking in front of his vision; he couldn´t see himself, what was in front of him, was the same girl that he saw a moment ago!!, he notices that she isn't moving or doing anything, just giving a staring face, much like he was expressing, he turns to his back, only to see that no one is there, that's the moment when it hit him, the same girl he s seeing in front of the mirror, it's him!!!!, after realising that, he cried out in a loud and peach feminine voice.

My first time writing fanfic, be nice 🙂

Chapter 2

Martin could not believe what was in front of his eyes, it couldn´t be him, 'this has to be a nightmare, it can't be real ' he thought, so he slapped himself in the face to verify, "ouch", but his fears were confirmed when heard a feminine voice coming out of his mouth. At this point, Martin was terrified, not only he had been swapped places with a winged girl, his life, his friends, his family, had been taken away from him, because of some random mutant wing girl that took everything he loved in his life and was thrown for nothing!!!!!!

He was so filled with anger and sadness that he didn't notice all the items near him suddenly starting levitating.

When he calmed himself, he took notice of this and stared with wide-open eyes at what was happening around him.

All the objects that were in the room he was standing were floating in the air! the books, papers, pens, even the library! covered in what looked like a bright purple glow. Then he looked down at his now feminine hands, they were covered with the same purple glow.

'Did I do that, he thought to himself.

Martin looked down at his hands, then looked up at the objects; he closed his eyes and focused, hearing the silence in the room, breathing quietly, thinking of something relaxing and picturing it in his mind, he had done this exercise to calm himself in moments when he felt angry or sad, seeing that his previous outrage cause everything in the room to levitate into thin air, he saw that the only solution was to calm himself, which he was doing right now; as he cleared his mind, he was feeling more relax and calm, knowing that his technique worked.

Suddenly, the purple glow that covered the items disappeared, making everything fall to the floor.

Hearing sounds of objects falling into the ground, he opened his eyes to see everything that was floating in the air, dispersed all over the room, creating a complete mess.

All the books, pencils, papers were everywhere, the massive bowl pulled over the side-splitting the weird green glowing liquid spreading itself slowly through the floor and, fortunately, the mirror and the library, which had some books, were intact.

Martin then put his hands on his head and kneel in frustration "Urghhhh, this is messed up, my life is upside down!! I'm somehow transformed into a girl with wings and a horn, why am I so unlucky", he said.

But his face went from frustrated to a surprised face as he looked into the mirror, he was wearing something so… revealing, it made him look so sexy, even his face was beautiful; he turned away from the mirror and cleared his mind, focusing on the situation in which he was.

'What am I supposed to do now?' he thought to himself, as he looked around in the room, he spotted the big library that covered the entire wall, filled with the rest of the books that survived, plus the books that were spread around the room.

“Guess I have to start somewhere,” he said

“Nothing in this one” Martin said as he finished reading the book he was holding in his hands, as he threw it into the pile of books that he already read.

He looked at the library, still stacked with a larger number of books than the ones he had read, he growled in frustration as he found nothing about how to get back his body or how to get back home.

“This is getting nowhere, and there are still so many books, I know there's something useful in here, but where?” he said, struggling to think about something, as he got frustrated, he then kicked the nearest bookshelf, causing a book to fall out of its spot, landing into ground and opening in a random page. Martin then walked to the book to pick it up, taking a glance at the page in which it was opened. He took interest in the information that contained, as he kept reading, he cheered up, as he finally found something indeed, the information was describing some sort of “inner-space-dimension travelling”, which he was certain that could help him get back home. It was some sort of ritual that he had to perform.

Reading a bit further he found he needed two things:
an artefact, specifically a small wooden statue resembling an owl with sapphire eyes
perform the spell

Which was the hard part as he never performed a spell in his life, which at the same time is not an everyday activity. But, with the knowledge he had of fictional movies about magic, it said that to perform a spell you have to say some strange words over some strange ruins or circles, ‘ that should work, I mean it´s pretty logical to me, I think ’ he thought, reading the page.

“Ok, I 've got to be organized so I can get this right, first things first, the small owl statue” he said looking around the strange messy room, which he already knew was his fault, there were a lot of things spread around it.

As he was searching through the spread books and papers, as he found nothing, he then moved to the desk, still intact, except all the stuff that on it; looking around the desk, he spotted something bright red in the left corner, reaching out to grabbed it, he found a small wooden statue, of an owl by the looks of it, with sapphire eyes, certainly what was he looking for.

Lastly, the only thing he needed now, is a circular ruin in which he could perform the spell, but as he thought about it, he didn’t know how to draw one and there wasn't a picture of one on the page he found.

Looking in defeat down at the floor, he noticed some weird drawings on it, he kneels to see more, as he did, he realized that it was a part of some kind of drawing, a big one apparently, he then cleaned up everything that was on the floor to take a better look at it.
Finally, when he finished up, he noticed that it was some sort of ritual, “maybe it is the ruin that I need for the spell, I think it could work” he said, proceeding to the final stage.

He then put the statue in the centre of the ruin.

After that, he sat in front of it, with the book in his hands.

“Please, make this work” he said, nervously looking at the book, with every hope he had on his heart.

Reading out loud the weird words that the page contained, everything in the room started to crumble, as the ruins began to light up in a bright purple colour; seconds later, a vortex opened up above Martin and pulled him up, sucking him and transporting him into the unknown, hoping to bring him back to where he belonged, his home.

Somewhere, in a beautiful city, seven peculiar girls were walking on the streets, relaxing from a stressful day of school.

Three of the seven girls were discussing things about their school day, one had light orange skin, green eyes and blond hair, wearing a cowboy hat, a white t-shirt with green sleeves with an apple on the centre, a long trouser skirt and brown boots, next to her was a highly energetic girl with light pink skin, curly pink hair, wearing a white t-shirt with no sleeves, a pink skirt with white leggings and high heel pink shoes, talking to a girl with white skin, with blue eyes and stylish purple hair, wearing a blue shirt with a top bow and a purple skirt under it, wearing high heel shoes. As the three of them were chatting, the two girls next to them were watching a documentary about rabbits, the girl holding the phone had light yellow skin, with blue eyes and light pink hair, she was wearing a light blue dress with light pink stripes around, wearing pink high heel shoes, the other girl watching the documentary had light blue skin, pink eyes and long rainbow hair, wearing a white t-shirt with a red lightning logo on it, with a short blue hoodie and long black sports trousers with rainbow stripes on the sides, wearing blue shoes; next to them, was a girl with yellow skin, blue eyes and red hair with yellow stripes, wearing a purple shirt with a sun logo on it, a black jacket with no sleeves and a black skirt, wearing high heel black boots; and the last girl of the group, had Lavander skin, with purple eyes and purple hair, with a pink stripe, tied in a horsetail, she was wearing a blue t-shirt with white stripes and sleeve bows, with a purple skirt that had a purple star on each side, wearing black shoes, and also glases.

As all the girls were chatting with each other, the girl wearing glasses, suddenly had a headache and fell to the ground, there were sudden flashes of a certain girl with a resemblance to her, this took the attention of the other girls.

"Twilight, are you ok?" said the red hair girl next to her, with a worried tone.

"Yeah, I am ok, Sunset, just sudden headache, nothing more" Twilight replied to her friend, looking up to her, as she stands up.

"Are you sure?".

" I'm fine, now let´s get moving if we don´t want to miss the movie"

They all nodded and kept walking.

As the girls continue walking down the streets and chatting, Twilight was thinking about the flashing visions that she suddenly had, they were showing her evil ego, Midnight Sparkle, she already had nightmares with her in the past, and with the help of her friends, she defeated her, stoping them, but, with these sudden visions about her, what if she wasn´t gone, what if she wasn´t defeated, what if she gains control of her body again and hurt her friends, destroys the fabric of reality itself, just to get all the magic knowledge of Equestria in the process, twilight thought about all of this, she sounded crazy, that this was just a figment of her imagination with all of the stress she had because of the exams, but with everything that she lived, it couldn´t be crazy, ' I have to to the bottom of this, but better not tell the girls, yet, until I figure out what s clearly going on' she thought to herself, as she rejoins her friends.
