The Elemental Equestrian

Studying old magical techniques doesn't come without a few roadblocks. For Starlight and Sunburst the roadblock they face is stubborn alicorn named Twilight. Starlight's mentor and recently crowned princess of Equestria.

"Starlight I emplore you please rethink this. You don't know what that spell may do!" Twilight had discovered Starlight's new spell three days ago during the preparation stage. Although it seemed she never got the chance to read it. Being discovered wasn't going to stop Starlight now. She was too close.

"Twilight calm down, I've gone the spell over three times today and maintained all necessary precautions you are just being paranoid." Starlight annoyed tone did little to calm the alicorn.

"Starlight-" Twilight started before the other unicorn Sunburst interrupted. Sunburst has been next to this plan of Starlight's for what Twilight assumed to be at least a span of weeks.

"Twilight it's okay we've been over the spell time and again. We just need a place to test it." Twilight gives the prospect a short thought before coming to a conclusion she hoped everyone would be happy with.

"Alright I will allow you to test your spell however I need two things from you." The two stopped and listened carefully. They may be casual about this but they weren't stupid. "First." She held up her index finger infront of the two. "I need to know exactly how this works. Second, I need you to find a safe secluded spot for the test." The two unicorns smiled.

"Oh course Twilight we'd be happy to tell you how it works follow us. We'll go to my house to discuss this in private. Arriving at Sunbursts house the three settled in. Twilight and Starlight sat at the kitchen table while Sunburst put some tea on.

"So Starlight how does this spell of yours work and what does this experiment entail?" Twilight's almost foal like curiosity seemed to get the better of her. For Starlight this was welcomed but she felt she should still say something.

"What happened to that cautious alicorn hmm, Did she disappear?" Starlight chuckled as she looked around. Twilight however found little humor in the bad attempt at a joke. Scoffing the light jab off and rebuking.

"Oh ha ha Starlight. I can be curious when I want to. Now stop stalling."

"Alright alright." Starlight chuckled once more before clearing her throat. Sunburst said nothing bringing the tea and pouring a cup for each of them. "So this spell is ment to focus around inter-dimensional observation. The spell works by-"

"Wait wait wait." Twilight interrupts holding her hands up. "A inter-dimensional spell? No offense towards you two but have you lost your minds!?"
The unicorns look at each other for a moment before they burst out laughing.

"Twilight" Starlight says between fits of giggles "Do..do you think this has just been decided by us with no preparation?" Starlight asks still holding her stomach as her midsection was starting to cramp from the laughter.

"Oh my sides oww"Sunburst laughed his sides also experiencing similar cramps.
Twilight scowled but waited for the two to calm.

"Okay...okay" Starlight breathed out calming herself. "Lets get this going somewhere." Starlight clears her throat before continuing. "So back on topic, we were about to talk about how the spell works, right?" Twilight nods. "So how the spell works is in correlation with a object. The object we chose for this is a necklace.
This necklace." Starlight layed the necklace apon the table.

Twilight looked down at the necklace seeing it to be tribal in origin but she couldn't put her finger on what culture it came from. She'd have to find it later on. Maybe she could ask Cadence? Shaking her head Twilight focused back in Starlight.

"So what part does this necklace play in the spell?" Twilight asked leaning against the table her chin supporting in her hands.

"The necklace is the most important part. Without it we couldn't know if the spell was cast successfully. See the carved jewel. It filled with liquified mana essence. With this essence in place we'll be able to keep track of the necklace no matter where it goes." Starlight explanation seemed to hold on the surface however Twilight couldn't quite put off the feeling of fear that came with it.

The three continued talking for awhile longer. However soon enough it was time to test this new spell. Twilight and Starlight debated on where the spell should be cast with Starlight wanting to do it just outside the city and Twilight wanting to do it on the edge if the Everfree.

It took a few minutes of arguing from Twilight and Starlight. With Starlight successfully making the point that Sunburst couldn't make a day trip for one spell Twilight conceded. With that the three started walking to their destination.

Outside the Crystal City

When the group got to what Twilight deemed to be a sufficient distance from the city. Though Twilight may have been influenced by the fact it was so cold this far outsde the city. Dispite the clear weather it was still very cold.

Eagwr to get started Sunburst was first ti began as he appled a series of runic symbols in the ground with a weakened magical beam.

[€¤¥^₩]

Looking at the rune Twilight felt uneasy. She had her fair share of accidents in the past when it came to runic magic. She hoped Starlight knew
What she was doing. Next Starlight lay the necklace within the center of the rune and finished off the preparation by drawing a diamond around the word.

The spell was ready to begin.

Starlight and Sunburst sat on opposite sides of the diamonds primarily points. While Twilight sat not too far to the side trying to stay out of the way. Finally Starlight began to chant.

"¥€.. ₩€.. ¥€.. ₩€€€.. We are drawn to be together. Our two become one of the same. Beside us you will Fall!!"

All Twilight felt was a fresh burning overtake her body. At least she wasn't cold anymore.

Waking up in pain is the worst. At least that's what Twilight's opinion was as she woke up. Her head was ringing like a church bell and her nostrils were filled with the smell of burnt hair. Looking around she noticed a multitude of things wrong with the area. From small fires to groaning ponies it was needless to say Starlight's spell did not go well.

However what was truely strange about the situation the three found themselves in..was the mysterious woman that lay where the spell had been preformed. Twilight finally able to at least stand, staggered towards the woman, limping noticeably.

She didn't look all too different from the normal equestrian. The only differences between her and them was mainly color based. Her skin and hair were brown with her clothes being a light blue clothing covering some but not all of her body.

That's not good especially not this far north. Looking back behind her Twilight saw that Starlight and Sunburst were sitting up trying to shake off the shock from the magical blast. Walking closer Twilight crouched next to the mystery woman. Resting her fingers apon the side of her neck. Pressing gently she found a light.. but steady pulse.

Breathing a sigh of relief. Twilight took off her jacket and wrapped the young women up. Being directly in that blast couldn't have done her any good the last thing she needed was hypothermia. Looking again however Twilight caught a reflection of light from something around her neck.

The necklace? Twilight found this strange but trying to take the necklace off proved fruitless as a powerful shock jumped from the necklace to her hand.

"Ahhh!" Twilight yells jumping back. The yell also caught the attention of the two unicorns behind her.

"Twilight!" Starlight called out rushing to her side.

"I'm fine..I'm fine, just a small shock." Twilight said shaking her hand for a moment. Looking at it she sighed. The necklace seemed to just give a small shock. Must be some kind of anti-tamperment charm. "How are you and Sunburst?" Twilight asked turning to face Starlight.

"We're alright. A few scraps but okay."

Twilight nodded "Good gather what you can we need to get her to the hospital. And Starlight?" Twilight asked grabbing her student by the arm. "We are going to have a long talk about this later, understood?" Starlight nods walking off to help Sunburst. Twilight watching can only rub her temple and sigh.

The trip to the hospital was peaceful and after making sure things were taken care of. Twilight contacted Cadence. Her response to this was one of utter confusion. How had Starlight's spell brought someone over the dimensional plane? Neither knew how but Twilight asked Cadence to send Spike over.Something she agreed too whole heartily .

She would need to study the spell along with necklace. Getting it off the women might be tricky however. For now she needed to talk with a doctor or nurse who had examined the mystery woman. Then when Spike got here get talking with Celestia.

Twilight walked through the halls for a few minutes before finally coming across a doctor. Who she promptly approached.

"Excuse me doctor, but are you one of the doctors that are in charge of the woman my friends brought in earlier today? I never got the chance to catch any of their names."

"Hmm... I am not Princess Twilight however if you'll follow me we can find out with the help of the receptionist desk downstairs."

"Thank you doctor" Twilight followed along as the two walked down to the nearby elevators which they gladly took. The doctor took the opportunity to strike up casual conversation.

"So Miss Sparkle how are you feeling, I heard when you came in you were dizzy?" Twilight smiles at his concern.

"I'm alright now thank you for asking. I believe it was the adrenaline wearing off at the time." The doctor just smiled back. Glad she was feeling better as the elevator dinged signaling they had arrived. Talking with the receptionist they soon found the doctor and nurse in charge of the womens health were having a particularly nasty discussion in room 207. The room with Starlight's mystery summoned woman.

Entering Twilight cleared her throat which did the trick getting their attention.

"Oh Princess my apologies" said the doctor as he and the nurse turned her attention to Twilight. Although Twilight noticed she was still giving him somewhat of a stink eye.

"Nurse, doctor I came to talk about our recent addition." Twilight stated. "But first however can I get your names?"

"Of course Princess I am doctor Gold Dust. A pleasure." He said giving a slight head bow in respect.

"And I am Nurse Ruby Art a pleasure your highness" the nurse said bowing slightly.

"Well, now we have that out of the way Miss Art what can you tell me about our resting friend here?"

"Not much unfortunately. She is almost exactly the same to us in the anatomically sense. However~" the nurse almost continued but was interrupted by the Doctor Dust.

"She seems to have some kind of magical ability. We cannot be sure however as it isn't something we've seen before." Twilight considered this for a moment.
Unknown magic that could be dangerous but also could be harmless. Better be safe that have a disaster.

"Give me a few minutes. I'll see if I can make arrangements with my sister in law on this matter." After receiving a nod from both of them she was about to pull a piece of paper from the nearby table when a groan sounded from behind her.

Waking up I had a few very confused questions running through my head. One where am I? And two am I dead? I move my stiff body slightly causing a spike of pain to shoot through my spine from my legs.

Ok ok nope not dead yet...oww. Wincing I lay there my senses slowly coming to me one by one. Feeling came first even if I hated every second another nerve came back. My vision came back next. Although it was hazy and unfocused.

My hearing came back and even though it seemed to echo. At least I was thankful I could hear at all. Turning my head I came face to face with a blob of purple. Oh god I'm hallucinating! My eyes widened as my pupils failed to focus.

Then I heard it's voice.

"Hello, can you hear me?" It asked. The blob seemed to be female and dispite wanting to ask my own question I didn't get the chance. As I opened my mouth I groaned again. My legs starting to spasm as the muscles came back to functionally once again. Relaxing after a jolt of adrenaline shoots through me. 'Thank you evolutionary adaptations' My vision begins to come into focus and the world becomes cleared.

The purple blob from before was replaced with a woman. A nurse from what I could see shoved her away. Trying to answer the previous question my throat became dry instantly. A cough racked my body causing more pain.

A hand was placed apon my forehead. The touch was gentle yet firm. I'm unsure how to feel here.

"Here ma'am drink this." The nurse raised a cup to my lips. After receiving my drink I gave one last hard cough finally clearing my throat.

"Ma'am what do you~?" I heard my voice. But it was much more high pitched. Bringing my arm up slowly I felt my upper throat.

It was smooth...hairless. Didn't I have an adams apple and a beard before....!

My eyes shoot wide as a rush of adrenaline lined fear shoots through me. I bolt upright and whipped off the sheets covering my body.

Am I.... Am I a woman?
