Once again, the portal was activated, and once again it trew it's wanderers around like ragdolls before spitting them out.

Both Rarity and Applejack were shot out of the portal, landing miserably a few feet from it. Applejack landed first, then Rarity landed on top of her. Rarity opened her eyes, only to beraly see what she assumed was the interior of Twilight's castle. She blinked a few times to try and snap out of her Dizziness. Unsuccessful in doing so, she decided that she should first get up. She tried to move her hands and legs, but instead she just squirmed around. Confused, she tried again, but her limbs didn't move as she wanted to. Taking a second to calm herself, she finally started to give her limbs and body a look, only to scream when she saw.

"W-What? Where are my legs and hands?" She screamed and she started kicking around.

In her panic, she beraly heard Applejack who was under her, let out a yelp. "Ow." The farm girl yelled, face planted in the ground, unable to move due to a certain someone. "Sugarcube, mind getting off me first before you start kicking like a horse?" She said, trying her best to move as well.

"Pony, actually." Someone said besides them, causing both girls to look to the right. Both of them were left speechless as they saw a purple pony with a what looked like a horn, standing above them while giving them a disapproving look. Rarity snapped out of her confusion when she heard Applejack say. "Twilight? That you?" Only for Twilight to give a small nod.

Rolling her eyes at the display of her two friends, she lit up her horn and levitated both Applejack and Rarity off eachother and placed them back down, standing. As soon as they were both on the floor, their hooves were shaking. Walking on all fours was not that difficult when they were humans, after all, every kid did it at least once, but this was different. The body was different, the center of gravity was different, and there were different muscle groups that needed to be controlled, groups that didn't really exist when they were humans.

Twilight waited patiently as the two girls learned to stand and walk for the first time again, occasionally giving them advices and helping them with magic when they fell down. After about an hour or so, both girls managed to stand and walk on their own without falling. Twilight watched them as they talked to eachother while admiring and testing their new body.

Rarity decided to find the nearest mirror and see exactly how her new body looked. Going to the mirror portal, she became positively glowing with happiness, excitement and curiosity. Twirling around to see every inch of it. "Oh, i must say, i look simply dashing!" She said in a high pitch voice. "Applejack, darling, come and take a look at yourself."

"Ah'm coming. But you should calm yourself a bit. You're more exited then a racoon in a thrash bin." Applejack said, getting a stare that could kill from Rarity at the comparison between the fashionista and a dirty racoon.

"*Ahem* I will decide to leave the fact that you compared me to a racoon, alone, for now at least." She said, prompting Applejack ro roll her eyes.

"Mah point still stands."

"But how can you not be exited? Look at how beautiful my coat and main are! Ooh imagine the dresses i can design! They would look simply MARVELOUS, darling. And you must admit, the backpack looks stunning on me, wouldn't you say so Twilight dear?" Rarity said, still admiring herself in the mirror.

Twilight cleared her throat. "It does, but as much as i would like to let you admire yourself more, we have things to talk about." She said in a flat tone.

"Can't blame her for doing so, one hour ago we were humans, now we are a different species." Applejack interjected.

"Be that as it may, we still need to talk. Let's start with how you abandoned Sunset at the first opportunity when she needed you most." Twilight said, now her tone a bit angrier.

The excitement and curiosity that the girls were filled with a few seconds ago disappeared like a tief in the night, leaving only shame and regret in their place. Both girls lowered their heads at Twilight's disapproving stare.

Seing as neither of the girls spoke, she began again. "Or, how about we talk about how you didn't even try to find out if Sunset was really guilty or not."

At that, Rarity raised her head. "That's not true, we did try to find out if Sunset was really guilty or not. We didn't find anything to make us believe that she was innocent."

"Oh I'm sure you did. Let me guess, you asked a few people if they know anything, and when they said 'no', you figured that 'Welp, that's a job well done, Sunset's guilty'." Twilight said, raising her voice, not enough to be considered a scream, but almost as loud, causing Rarity to lower her head once more.

This time it was Applejack that spoke. "Look, Twilight. Ah know you are mad, and i understand why, but we know we messed up, big time. This is why we're here. To make things right and to apologize to Sunset. Trust us when we say that we know the consequences of our actions, and we are willing to pay." She said, and Rarity gave a nod of confirmation.

Twilight looked at both girls, she looked at how serious they were, and she saw that yes, these girls knew they messed up. She let out a sigh. "Ok, I'm willing to drop this for now, seing as you know what you did and are serious in asking for forgiveness." She took a second before continuing. "But I'm still mad at you! And at the other girls, who apparently, don't share the same view as you."

"I'm as mad at them as you are Twilight. I can understand why Rainbow would chose to belive Scootalo over us and our sisters, but i honestly thought that Pinkie and Fluttershy would see through Scootalo's lies. Especially Fluttershy, as she's the most forgiveing." Rarity said.

The room fell silent as awkwardness filled it, but it didn't take long before Applejack broke it by changing the subject. "Anyway, Now that we're here, where is Sunset?"

"I... don't know." Twilight said. "She didn't gave me any name or location. I did try to ask at first, but she changed the subject every time, after a few times, i figured that if she didn't want to talk about it, i wouldn't force her to."

Rarity pondered for a bit before asking. "That's good and well that you didn't force her to, darling, but how are we supposed to find her if even you don't know? We can try and ask around, i guess, but this land is foreign to us."

Before Twilight could answer, they were interrupted by a familiar voice coming from someone else. "Twi? You here? I brought the cider Spike asked me for!"

Both Rarity and Applejack looked at eachother, then at Twilight, who made the most perplexed face she ever made, then at the door, where the sound came from, then back at Twilight. Rarity spoke. "Is that?" But before she could continue, Applejack interjected. "Me?"

Twilight cleared her throat with a cough before answering. "*Ahem.* Sorry girls, seems that someone is in the main room. Mind staying here for a bit before i go see?" She said frantically, then immediately hurried out of the room.

Applejack and Rarity stood in silence for a second before looking at eachother and decided to follow Twilight. Both of them walked as fast as they could, without tripping over, pushed the door open then followed the sounds of Twilight's steps. While doing so, Rarity couldn't help but admire the architecture. She didn't really have time to do so, with all the things that have happened, and she didn't really have the time now as well, but even just in passing, she looked all over the place. She found the interior stunning. Purple walls, high enough to tower over her, colored stained glass, purple banners that depicted a purple star with other little stars surrounding it, just like Twilight's one on her flanks. At first, Rarity just thought those were tattoos, and she was surprised, thinking that Twilight, who was the studious type, was bold enough to have a tatoo. But now that she saw the banners, she thought that maybe there was a meaning to it. Realizing that she spaced out, she quickly put the thought in the back of her mind, and promised herself to study the castle a bit more and ask Twilight about her tattoo.

Twilight closed the door with her magic, took a deep breath, them immediately started to power walk. Why did Applejack had to come now of all times? I can't let her meet her counterpart. Sure, she know about the human realm and about the human versions of themselves, but i honestly don't know what would happen if the two meet, and i don't want to find out. Also, it would be extremely awkward to all parties involved. Also, i didn't tell anyone that I'm bringing humans here. Sunset was ok, as she was originally a pony, but the girls are humans..... Oh no, If Princess Celestia finds out, she'll be extremely disappointed. Can't let that happen. Twilight thought frantically. Not long after, she finally arrived in main room of the castle where the friendship map was. There she saw Applejack waiting with a few wooden boxes of fresh apple cider. Before Applejack could say anything, Twilight quickly began. "Hey AJ I'm sorry i have extremely important work to do, don't have time to chat. I will take care of the boxes. Yes I'm alone. Good to see you, bye." Twilight said, extremely quickly and in one breath. She then proceeded to gently push Applejack out of the room.

Applejack however, knew the mare for a looong time, and immediately figured out that Twilight was hiding something. After all, the young alicorn's feelings were as apparent to everyone else as an open book. Placing her hooves firmly on the ground, impeding Twilight's attempt to shoo her away, she turned and looked at her friend, who now had a desperate look. "Twi, What in Tartarus is happening?"

Twilight now began to push a bit harder. "N-Nothing! I just don't have time now!"

Applejack raised an eyebrow and spoke in a flat tone. "Twi, ah love you, you know ah do, but you're a lousy liar, and that's coming from me."

Twilight stopped pushing, took a few deep breaths and then gasped. "I am not! I'll have you know i am a great liar. And as the princess of friendship, I'll have you know that i am extremely disappointed that you would think i would lie to you and my friends. *Hfmp*" She said as she began to pout.

But Applejack wasn't one to be swayed so easily by words, after all, her best friend was Rarity, who was known to exaggerate and sometimes leave out key details in order to have the farm girl help with stuff around the Boutique. Somehow, even when Applejack didn't want to, the fashionista always managed go talk her into it. And so, she knew what Twilight was trying, but she was no Rarity. Rasing one eyebrow again she looked at Twilight with skepticism. "Mhm, somehow, ah don't believe you." She let out a sigh. "Look Twi, Ah don't know what you're hiding, but if it's something dangerous th-" Applejack suddenly stopped speaking. She rubbed her eyes to see if she was hallucinating, but no, hey eyes worked just fine. Just behind Twilight, AJ saw another version of herself along with Rarity. Only, they seem younger. The younger version of herself looked to be about sixteen or so, the same with Rarity. She wanted to ask Twilight what is happening, but the other version spoke first. "Ahm, hi?"

Rarity and Applejack hurried, getting closer and closer to where the sounds of conversation came from. Now that both of them were close, the could clearly hear that yes, the one that they heard earlier sounded exactly like Applejack. When they first heard it, they were skeptical. They have heard from Twilight when she was in their world that Equestria was a sort of mirror dimension, or vice-versa, and that there were versions of people in both worlds. But coming here, hearing it and, in a minute seeing it, that was an experience that they didn't want to pass on. It was also weird.

Walking faster, blazing trough the corridor , they finally came across a huge door easily twice their size, and exactly where where Twilight and the other Applejack were. Looking at eachother, they both nodded in agreement, and used their bodies to push open the door, which was surprisingly easier to open then the height of it suggested. There they saw Twilight, standing with her back on them, talking to.... Applejack. Both the girls and the other Applejack looked at eachother in disbelief.

Human Applejack, feeling a bit awkward, decided to brake the ice first. "Ahm, hi? She said in an awkward tone, her voice cracking up a bit.

The other Applejack took a second before saying her greeting. "Howdy?" She said. To say that she was confused was an understatement. Looking a bit more at the younger version of herself and Rarity, she turned her attention to Twilight, only to see her hyperventilating. Quickly putting everything else aside at seeing her friend beraly managing to grasp for air, she immediately went to her side, placed a hoof on Twilight's back and started rubbing. "C'mon Twi, breathe. In and out." It took a few moments for Twilight to calm down enough that she could form coherent words. But before she could say anything, Equestrian Applejack spke first. "Twi, i know you like your experiments, but cloning me and Rarity, is weird even for you."

"Ah ain't no clone sugarcube." Human Applejack said. She got closer to her counterpart and extended a hoof, but quickly retracted it when she realised that she didn't have hands to shake. "Let's start again." She cough to clear her throat. "Hi, I'm Applejack, from the human world. Nice t'meet you."

"Howdy, I'm Applejack...... From this world?" She said Awkwardly.

"This is so weird" Rarity interjected.

"Tell me about it" Both Applejack's said in unity.

"It's true." Twilight finally said, finally having calmed down enough to talk. "You know how i had to go trough the portal to get my crown back and later to fight the sirens? Well, do you remember that I've told you about the human world?" Twilight said, while pony Applejack nodded. "Well, do you also know how Sunset came back to Equestria? And you've met her, and she told you how someone impersonated her and ruined all her friendships and relationships."

Pony Applejack nodded. "Yes, ah remember she told us about it." She then looked at human Applejack and Rarity with an angry face. "Ah also remember how angry ah was when ah heard how the other version of me and her friends betrayed poor Sunset at the first chance they got." She said with extreme displeasure in her voice, causing the two girls to put their head down once again.

"Yes, I'm still mad about them myself, but back on track. To keep things short, The culprit was Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootalo." At that, Pony Applejack's eyes became wide open with disbelief, but Twilight continued. "Turned out they did it to get back at Sunset when she was evil. Well, after Apple Bloom and Sweetie realized how far out of their control the situation had become, they felt like they took thing too far and confessed to their sisters. Applejack and Rarity immediately realized what they had done and long story short again, they used Sunset's Journal to contact me. They wrote first to explain the situation and ask Sunset for forgiveness, but i told them that if they really care, they need to come here and apologize in person. And i guess they really do care, if they are willing to cross dimensions for her. But I'm still mad." Twilight finally finished.

Pony Applejack took a few seconds to take it all in before giving her answer. "Welp, Ah'm mad that my other version was dumb enough to not believe her friend, but ah'm also glad she wasn't that dumb to not recognize her own mistakes and pay for them." She looked at human Applejack. "If you had done that and still came here, i would've kicked your flank back trough the portal myself."

The room fell silent once again, but this time, it was Rarity that had the courage to speak. She cleared her throat. "As much as i like people getting mad at me for my own mistakes, i think we should change the conversation back to the matter of where is Sunset? We still have no ideea where she went. She didn't tell Twilight, and if she doesn't know, it's safe to assume that no one else except Sunset herself."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Maybe she tried to tell us when we were angry at her, but we didn't listen, or maybe." Rarity stopped talking for a second, thinking deeply about something. She soon resumed her train of thought. "Maybe, she wrote it in her personal journal. I distinctly remember Sunset saying that she is going to write about us in her journal a few weeks after we became friends. Maybe we should go back to the portal and grab it from Sunset's house?" The fashionista asked the others.

"About that." She said, then proceeded to rummage through her backpack that transformed into a saddle. Finding it very difficult to do it with her new body, she asked for help. A purple aura enveloped the saddle and a few seconds of searching, Twilight took out a journal and handed it over to Human Applejack, but because of her new body, which she found annoying in more ways then one she dropped the journal on the floor. Scratching the back of her head with her hoof, or trying to at least, and looking embarrassed, she continued. "Ah took it with me, just in case."

"When?" Rarity asked, confused.

"When we were getting ready, ya know how i said i needed to go somewhere for a bit? Yeah, i actually stopped by Sunset's place. And before you say anything, i know, i shouldn't have done that, but you had your things to pack. Ah went there just in case i'd find something to that could be of help. Found the journal, and took it with me. Didn't had time to read anything, as, you know, i didn't have the time." Human Applejack said, feeling a bit proud of herself, but also a bit guilty that she went to Sunset's place without taking Rarity along.

"Good job Applejack!" Rarity said, thankful that she didn't have to go trough the portal again.

"Thanks" Both Applejack said, before looking at eachother and sighing.

Before enyone could have the chance to feel awkwardness, Twilight spoke. "Ok, just so it will be a bit easier, human Applejack will be called Applejack, and Pony Applejack will be called AJ. Everyone ok with it?" She said, everyone agreeing fast. "Good, now Applejack, please open the journal and see if you find anything. I would myself, but i don't feel comfortable reading Sunset's Journal."

"For the record, i was actually planning to ask you to drive to her house, but with everything that was going on, i kind of forgot. Good thing you thought ahead. Anyway, let's read!" Rarity said a bit sheepishly. At that, Applejack just chuckled a bit.

"A'ight" Applejack said. She looked at the journal on the floor, and tried to use her hoof to open it, but instead of actually doing what she wanted to do, all she managed was to rub the book with her hoof. Letting out a sigh of frustration, she took a different approach, this time she placed the tip of her hoof under the cover of the journal and lifted it up. Now that the journal was opened, all she had to do was turn the pages, but just like first time, she found little success. Getting more and more frustrated and angry, she stomped her right hoof on the floor. "Ugh, how do you work these things?" She said, looking at her new limbs, embarrassed that she couldn't even open one book.

Both Twilight and Rarity started laughing quietly, further embarrassing Applejack, causing the farm girl's face to become more red by the second. Meanwhile, Aj just rolled her eyes and walked closer to the journal. "Ah got it. Ah swear, you act like ya a newborn or something."

"Don't blame me for it! Your bodies as just weird. Can't do anything with these hooves." Applejack said, a bit insulted by Aj's comment, however, Aj didn't respond, she just placed her hoof on the page, and simply turned it. Then looked at Applejack with a face that said 'See? it's easy.' Applejack just rolled her eyes and stepped a bit to the left, letting Aj turn the pages.

Twilight and Rarity stopped laughing and joined their friends in reading.

I don't really know how to start this so here we go. Hello, this is Sunset Shimmer, Archmage in training and personal student to Princess Celestia herself, or more like ex-student now. I am writing in this journal to transcribe my journey so far, and try not to become insane in this strange world.

First thing first, how did i get here? Well, it all starts a while ago. To keep things short, like i said, i was Princess Celestia personal student. She took me in after i first released my magic and gained my cutie mark. She must have took me in after seing what i was capable of. As her student, I've learned everything she had to teach me, and i was no fool. After a while i knew she was grooming me to become the next Princess that will lead Equestria, otherwise, what reason she could have?

At some point she must have realized that i will grow stronger then her, and she probably thought that i will become a second Princess Luna. After that, she spent less time with me, less lessons, less picnics, restricting my access to the royal library, telling me to make some friends and that studying is not everything. Pff, can you imagine the audacity? She who doesn't have any friends herself, telling me to make some. Hilarious! I've heard her complain so many times at how she hates smiling and listening to entitled high-society ponies, and she dares tell me to make friends? Unbelievable i tell you.

Skipping forward, she and i had a falling out, a disagreement to put it politely. It all started when she showed me the mirror portal for the first time. She told me that it was a portal, to another land, and that it only opened for three days once every thirty moons. I still remembered how i started inspecting the portal. At first it seemed normal, but soon realized it was nothing but normal. It started showing me vissions of me, of what I'll become, of my destiny. I was born to be the next ruller of Equestria, i was born for greatness, but when i told her, she immediately became disappointed. She told me that what i saw were lies, that they were illusions, and that she was disappointed in me for seing myself like that.

What happened after was not pretty, we started arguing, then screamed at eachother, then said some hurtful words. Words that i don't regret one bit, words that made her take the decision that i was dangerous, that i must be controlled, incarcerated in my room with little access to the outside world. I didn't take it, i couldn't, so, i waited, being a nice, obeying prisoner untill the portal activated. Luckily for me, it didn't take long, only a few days, and when the time was right, i escaped. I waited untill night when i knew Celestia was sleeping, picked the lock and disable the wards she placed, but as i got out, i realized that the room was enchanted with an alarm spell that i failed to notice. It started blaring, waking up the entire castle. Not wanting to be incarcerated again i have made the decision to run to the portal with all i had. At first i wanted to run somewhere else, but i soon realized that as long as i was in Equestria, i was in Celestia's domain. I never would have been able to escape her, so the portal was my only option. I ran, taking out every guard i came across, incapacitating them just for clarification. I got to the room, took out the guards stationed there, and just as i was about to enter the portal, Celestia entered the room, begging me to come back, that she was sorry for what she said. But i didn't believe one word she said, not anymore, and so, i went in.

Next thing i knew, i woke up in this realm. Immediately found out that my body had transformed into one that fit this world, a human as i soon found out they are called. It took me a while to learn how to walk and stand again, and it took me even more to learn how to use my hooves, or, hands as they are called. Seing strange creatures for the first time got me scared, and i ran as soon as i could. I actually crawled, but that's besides the point. I hid in the alleys, in the shadows of the city. Eventually i managed to find a place, it's where I'm at currently. An old abandoned building that was once a factory of some kind at the edge of the city. There are a lot more buildings like this, but this seemed like the most intact one. Anyway, I'm starting rambling again, back to the story. Little by little i started to figure out how to use my body, how to use the alleys to my advantage, how to spy on the denizens of this world. Little by little i gained more knowledge, about where i was, how the world works and so on.

I managed to steal a phone off some guy, and decipher how it worked. Through it, i managed to find out more info. One thing that amazed me was that this world lacked magic, but humans made do with advancing technology to a point that it was easy to survive. Big cities that dwarf Canterlot, vehicles made of steel to transport them, instant long range communication. Honestly, i still find it hard to believe. It's been three months since i came here, i somehow managed to survive by stealing food and daily necessities. At some point, a human woman found me when i tried to steal some money off of her, a tall woman with blue hair and coat.... skin. (I keep forgetting that humans don't have coats protecting them from the elements). Seing me like that, i guess she took pity on me, and offered to help me. She brought me clothes, helped me get some documents, and enrolled me in a school, where she was working in. I quickly accepted the woman's help, after all, i need to survive in order to get my revenge. I swear, when i get back to Equestria, there will be vengeance. Anyway, guess I'll have to prepare, after all, tomorrow is my first day of school.

"Ish, is that how Sunset was in the past?" Twilight answered, a bit sad and a bit relieved that her friend wasn't like that anymore.

"Preeeety much, darling. Of course, she wasn't that bad when i first met her, but gradually, she became more and more, how do i say it. Unpleasant." Rarity said with a sigh, remembering bad memories. Applejack nodded in agreement.

"Let's skip ahead, shall we?" Aj said before turning a lot of pages and started reading again.

Hello again Journal. I have quite a few thing to tell you today.

So, as i said in the previous entries, there is only a month before the portal opens for the second time since i have been in this world. It's been almost five long years since i first came here. A lot of work, blood, sweat and tears were shed for this plan, but I'll be worth it. As i wrote before, i managed to use the faint magic that the portal emanates, to spy on Equestria from time to time. Won't go into details, as i already wrote the process when i first discovered it. "Wait, how did she managed to do that?" Twilight asked, but the only thing she got in return was a chorus of *later* from both Applejack's and Rarity. She wanted to interject, but before she could do that, she got the same response. Feeling disappointed, she let it go for now, but she will find out from Sunset.

Still can't believe that Celestia found a replacement the moment i left. Pff, great mother figure she turned out to be.

Anyways, today i finally finalized my plan. How you may ask, well, it's simple. First, go to Equestria (obviously), then steal the element of magic from PrInCesS TWiLigHt spArkLE. Bah, still can't believe she became an alicorn. The hell did she do that i didn't? Anyway, stealing the element of magic, that might be a bit harder to do. I'll most likely need to improvise on the spot. Now, there is one tiny problem, will i be able to perform as well as i used to? It's been so long since I've been in this body, and honestly, i kind of grew to like it more then the pony one. Sure, i don't have a horn to help me cast magic, but the amazing dexterity that the body provides is something i wish pony kind had as well.

Back on track. Luckily, the portal itself seems to be situated in the same room since i arrived here, and from what i observed, no one really comes to check on it. That's lucky, because as soon as i arrive, I'll be able to familiarize with the old body without interruption. Next step is taking back the element of magic to the human world, and using it to gain so much power, that Celestia would have no choice but to acknowledge me. She will have no choice but to see that i was indeed born for greatness, and that i don't need her, that she wished she never replaced me, that she loved me more.... like how i used to love her. I was willing to give my body and soul for her, yet everything i did was never enough. She was never satisfied. When i learned everything she had to teach, she said that there was more in life then studying, when i didn't study, she told me that being lazy was no good. And when i tried to make some friends, she was disappointed that i couldn't. At that point, the group saw the many stains of dried off tears that covered the page. Fuck her! I don't need her, i don't need anyone! I don't need someone who took me in, giving me the hope of a loving mother, then took that hope and trow it in the trash! I'll write more when i have the time, now it's time to prepare.

The girls stood in silence. That was sad, more so then they could have imagined, especially for Applejack and Rarity. They thought she was just a girl who enjoyed tormenting others for her pleasure before the the Fall Formal, but reading this, they could see that Sunset was just a kid, who tried her best to please the person she viewed as her mother figure, only for Celestia to not reciprocate those feelings even a little bit. Aj, deciding that she had read enough, turned a few pages. The rest of the girls picked up on what Aj did, and started reading again, maybe this time not as sad.

Hello again journal, it's me again, the biggest disappointment of two worlds. It's been three weeks since the Fall Formal. Sorry i haven't wrote, been too depressed to do anything. I'm only writing in hopes of distracting myself from.... nevermind. Who am i even apologizing for? Myself? The ones i hurt? Doesn't matter i guess.

Where do i even begin? The start i guess? My plan to steal the crown was successful, in a way. Won't go into any details but, let's just say that i'm more of a failure then i thought i was. Anyway, stole the crown, dropped it in the portal because of Twilight, got back to the human world and it was gone. Apparently, Principal Luna found it, and decided to use it as the prize for the queen of Fall Formal, lost horribly to Twilight. Tried to steal it again, did it successfully, placed it on my head, and from there, all hell broke lose.

Turns out, if someone that was not chosen by the element of magic, tries to use it anyway. Well, the once pure magic that permeates in the regalia, it becomes corrupted, turning it's unworthy wielder into a manifestation of their emotions. Turns out, i got transformed into a demon, and i mean, actually transformed. Big horns, blazing wings, red skin and dark eyes, and the worst of it, un ugly ass dress that I'm pretty sure didn't come with underwear.

While i had gained power, the price was too high. I haven't told anyone this, but during the transformation, i could feel everything. Every new cell that was born, every new muscle that was torn to shreds only to be rebuild in another manner. Bones breaking and regenerateing as my whole body got bigger. The wings that literally burst from my back, tearing it apart only to regenerate and leave two massive scars, and the dark magic that started to consume my mind as i felt into madness. I could fell everything. Somehow it only got worst. As the dark magic started infecting my soul, it brought to life my worst qualities, creating an alter ego of some kind that trapped me inside my own mind while it took control of my body. I could see what it was doing, but that's about all i could do.

Finally, after what felt like years, Twilight and her friends managed to defeat me, using the magic of friendship to "purity" me. I am grateful that they managed to put an end to my evil self, but, the process was........ Horrifying. I really don't want to remember what happened, i really don't. But maybe, if i write about it, I'll feel better? My therapist, which is also Luna, told me to talk or to write about everything that I've been keeping inside of me. Apparently it's supposed to make me fell better once i do so. Hope she's right. Anyway, The process of "purification", if you can call it that, began with a nice dose of burning your soul until all evil inside of you is no more. You know, something mildly warm, like the temperature of the fucking sun. The next process, is making you feel the wrath, pain, sadness and all others negative emotions that i inflicted onto other. All at once. But the thing is, which i find it very weird by the way, is that it didn't just stopped with the people i wronged. No. I could feel the wrath, the pain, the suffering of millions of souls. Each screaming to be saved, each begging for salvation..... I don't want to talk about it anymore.

The room was silent again. None of the four girls made a single sound, and all of them were mortified by what they just read. One by one, each of them started crying silently, one by one each of them started to think at what they had done.

Twilight began hyperventilating, beraly able to breathe. "T-That can't b-be!" She took in a few breaths in a vain attempt to calm herself. "The e-elements of harmony don't work like this! They can't work like this! The elements were supposed to make someone see the errors of their ways, and c-come back to the right path, not burn the soul and making the unfortunate creature experience such a cruel thing!" Twilight, now a bawling mess on the ground, berely managed to speak.

Aj, still crying, but holding it better then Twilight, looked at her friend, horror in her eyes. "Twi? Is this what we've been doing? Is this what the elements are actually doing?" She asked, but her alicorn friend did not answer, so, Aj, started speaking again. "What about Discord? We used the elements on him, and he seems fine-ish?"

"I don't know!" Twilight said, still crying her eyes off. "Maybe Discord was a special case, or maybe Sunset was a special case. I don't know!"

Applejack and Rarity, both still crying, quickly wiped their tears away, as best as they could, before hugging Twilight. All four of them kept on hugging for a few minutes, before Aj and Applejack broke away from the embrace. "Let's continue. We'll ask Sunset when we find her." Aj said. The other two, still being down at what they read, slowly found the strength to pick themselves up, prompting the reading seasion to resume.

So yeah, not pleasant. Anyway, leaving the obviously traumatic experience aside, i have something else to write about. A few days after the incident, i started having these weird dreams, about places i didn't know, yet very familiar. Faces that i have never seen in my life, but somehow important to me. A few names here and there, a few ponies and creatures that were talking to me. Strange lands, that i assume are not of Equestria. I dreamed about beautiful cities, way bigger then Canterlot, with breathtaking architecture, high walls, and ponies and all matter of creatures walking and enjoying life. Then in another dream i saw the same city, destroyed, ravaged as if the world came to an end.

I learned from Celestia that dreams are sometimes not just dreams. Sometimes they are a prophecy, sometimes they are a glimpse into your true self, and sometimes, it's just your own mind hunting you. But, i don't know what to think about them. Hopefully they are just dreams.

The four girls continued to read, page by page. Reading Sunset's thoughts, hoping to find something that could help them, but found nothing. Finally, they found the last entry.

I'll keep this brief. This entry will probably be my last one. If one of you girls find it, then know that I'm sorry. I don't know who impersonated me, i don't know how i can restore my trust in you, and I'm sorry it came to this. Hopefully, this entry is never read by others other then me. Hopefully, we will reconcile, and become friends once more, but that seems like a far away dream that I'm unable to reach.

I tried, i really did. Hopefully by the time you read this, the culprit would have been found. Tomorrow i will go back to Equestria, back to the place i once called home. To honest, i don't really want to go, just the thought of having to face Celestia at some point scares me, but, it seems like there is nothing left for me here. It's funny in a way, the girl who left her own world in search of another, forced by fate to go back to a place that brought so many bad memories. Rarity, if you are reading this, keep the magic journal safe.

From the dreams that i keep having, which are getting more frequent and more vivid, i managed to place together the fact that my home was never Equestria. From what i could gather, it's a place outside of Equestria, a place called Navalia. Throughout of my many dreams that i had, i kept seing two ponies, a beautiful mare with a teal coat and mane, and a stalion with a jet black coat and gray mane. I don't know who they are, but i remember them holding and carrying for me. And so, i decided to find them. Maybe they now more about the dreams, maybe they know my real parents, who knows. If my memory serves me right, and it usually does, I think I've read or heard Navalia somewhere. My guess is that i read it in the forbidden library. I think it's a continent west of Equestria, but I'm not too sure. The geography outside of Equestria never really interested me before, but that doesn't matter anymore.

I keep having this feeling that, things will not go right, like, there is something warning me, like, where I'm going, it's dangerous...... no matter, not like i have something else to live for here.

Well, i guess this is goodbye, to my journal, and to my friends, or, former friends now. You finally got your wish to see me gone.

Author's Note

Yeah, so, sorry about the inactivity. Been dealing with some stuff. I'll keep it brief.

Originally this was supposed to be twice the size, but after seing the comment made by SuperSayan, i decided to just cut it in half and make two chapters. Chapter 11 will be focused on Sunset, chapter 12 will go back to Rarity and Applejack. Don't know when I'll post them, can't make any promises.

Small problem, but i kinda fucked it up when writing. Originally, when i wrote the chapter, for some reason, i thought that in an earlier chapter, Rarity and Applejack went to Sunset's place to get her personal journal. I wrote around that. Turns out, they never went, and i imagined they did, so if you find it weird that Applejack went there and got the journal off-screen, it's because i had to rewrite most of the chapter. I could have rewritten the chapter in question, but i wasn't happy with how chapter 11 turned out anyway, so i figured that, if i have to rewrite it, might as well say they went there off-screen. That was lazy from me, i admit, so, sorry about that.
