Screw magical limitations

"Pretty neat huh? Shine asked with a smile. He watched with amusement as I began looking around my surroundings with wide eyes and an open maw.

We weren't in Sunny Fields anymore.

No, instead we were in a place filled with flowers as far as the eye can see. Red, blue, purple, the colors seemed endless. Some were small, some were as tall as cornfields and seemingly stretched out just as long. If that wasn't amazing enough there's one little fact that made it all the more breathtaking.

Glowing.

The flowers were glowing.

They were doing so under a blue-colored landscape.

I looked up.

Only to gasp upon seeing two identical blue moons cast overhead. Both were so close to one another that they were almost touching.

It was beautiful.

Me describing the scene alone doesn't do it enough justice. You truly had to be there to experience it for yourself.

"Where.....where are we?"

"Where do you think?"

I looked over at my cousin.

The smile on his face was close to being infectious.

"Are we in someplace new? Or are you in a world by all logic and purpose shouldn't exist?"

I stared.

Upon seeing my confused expression he continued.

"What defines reality? Logic? Understanding? The so called rules that govern everything in this realm and beyond? No, truth is it's all about perspective".

Shine then proceeds to hold a hoof out. A second later his horn glowed and in a flash of brilliant orange magic an apple appeared.

The smile on his face never wavered.

"You see this? When you first lay eyes on it your mind immediately comes to the conclusion that what I'm holding is an apple".

When he saw that he had my full attention he grinned before lightly blowing on the fruit.

As soon as he did so the apple proceeded to tear itself apart reavling it to actually be a swarm a butterflies.

I watched on in shock as the kaleidoscope quickly began to fly away.

"As you saw perception isn't all it cracks up to be. It can be altered, it can be changed, it can even become something else entirely, something monstrous but in truth perception does nothing but limits one's understanding of what's really out there".

I stood there. Taking a few moments to process his words fully.

It was quite an ear full, but still I managed to pecie it all together. The only reason it took me so long in the first place was the fact that I was on an entirely different planet. It was all utterly insane how everything changed so quickly. One moment I was at a less then desirable reunion, and in the next Im in place that looked to be straight out of a fantasy novel. Granted we had some crazy stuff at home, but this? Words can't even begin to describe it all.

Oh and then there was the fact that my cousin turned out to be an insanely powerful unicorn. We are talking about several steps beyond white level at this point. At first glance you would think that teleportation isn't that difficult of a feat. You would be correct. Even the lowest level of magic users can perform this task if their dedicated enough. However despite what you might have heard you can't just teleport anywhere you want. There are limits depending on how munch magic your body can willed. You see magic itself is practically an infinite source. Despite what you might have believed we ponies don't willed magic we absorb it. The more magic you absorb the stronger you became. However there is a limit on how munch your body can handle. As such we ponies formed a limiter of sorts. This limiter can be found in parts of the body such as heart, lung, and of course your skull. This is especially noticeable in unicorns if you know how to look. It is important to note that no matter how powerful one is they thier limiter will always hold them back from letting loose. That is because if one where to reach their maximum potential and somehow break past their limiter for any reason death isn't a likelihood, but a guarantee.

Of course there are different levels of magic depending on the individual.

There are blue, yellow, purple, and white.

The highest one could possibly get was purple witch was mage level. I say this because depending on how strong a pony is that's how far they can teleport.

For example ponies on level yellow can teleport across towns, ponies on purple can teleport across countries. Ponies on the white level can in theory can teleport to any place on Equus, Known or unknown.

But this? This wasn't Equus.

No, this was an entire different planet and or realm all together. Witch meant the sheer amount of magic he needs to achieve this feat was white level times 10, most likely even more.

The fact that he didn't even look winded was a testament in itself.

By magical science terms this colt was damn near a god. If he wasn't one already.

Even with this mind his earlier words began to echo in my head.

Looking over at him I asked the question that begged to be let out of my mind.

"What is out there?"

He smirked.

The look in his eyes was one of boundless opportunity. His expression however was one of barley controlled excitement. Sort of like a foal on hearts warming day who couldn't wait to open their presents. In that moment I couldn't help but look back on that specific day regarding my foalhood. However instead of happy memories I was met with cold sleepless nights. On those particular days I wished for nothing more then something to hang onto. After all if friendship didn't work out for me what else is there?

Remember earlier when I said I was never sad? Well I wasn't happy either.

"Fun" he whispered. His voice low and quiet. As if he was whispering a secret that he only wanted me to hear.

"Huh?"

"Fun" he whispers again. A little louder than before.

"We are going to have lots, and lots of fun".
