You wake up inside of a very dark room, and there seemed to be a typing bar across from where you were standing. It had some text on there you could not see, you walked closer and saw that it was as if you were stuck in a computer boot up screen.

'Would you like to run Brain.exe in normal start up?' You see two options, a yes and start up in safe mode. Just to be safe you start up in safe mode, and at first you heard slurred voices. Your vision was no better, it was all blurry white as your eyes tried to readjust themselves.

You could barely make out Applejack's accent, as well as Rarity's somewhat English accent. You shot up as your hearing and vision started to clear, you wipe your eyes and looked around, you were inside of Celestia's Office.

"Whoa pardner, don't get up in such a hurry now."

"Calm down darling, we aren't here to hurt you." You place your fingertips on your temples, because your head was constantly hurting for right now.

"What happened?" You ask.

"Nothing really, you were sitting at our table until you got really cold. You then passed out and hit your head on the table." Rarity explained, you then nod.

"So, why did I get really cold? Why is it so cold in here?" You shiver as you grab your arms, you could see your breath too.

"It's not so bad, I don't feel a thing." Rarity assured.

"It's a sign." Celestia, up against the back wall said.

"A sign for what exactly?" Twilight asked.

"It's a sign that means that he can detect magical energy. I have that too." As Celestia sighed you could see her breath in the atmosphere, but the thermostat was set at a 72, pretty normal for room temperature.

Magical energy? What does magic have to do with anything? Since when did magic ever exist? You were very confused as the conversation continued, explaining about this type of energy that doesn't even exist. You keep on listening to Celestia's week long lecture to you about magic, how the girls are able to, as well as herself and Luna. You scratch your head in confusion, almost doing the Jackie Chan meme face.

"-And that is how you too can be able to use magic. Any questions?" She finished. You were sitting on the ground Native American style and raised your hand. She smirked as she pointed to you, and all sets of eyes were fixed on you, making you uncomfortable.

"Since you need some sort of crystal thingy to perform magic, how do you get one?" You ask, she then closes her eyes, and sighed.

"They were all but destroyed, all but a very little number of them left in the world. We happen to have come across one of the last gemstone deposits to make nine. Luna, and I, as well as your six girlfriends have one." The girls blush at her little mistake, but for some reason you kept a straight face, just to make it that much more humorous. You noticed an oddity in her last statement, she said there were nine, but she only named eight out of the nine.

"You said there were nine, but you only named eight people. Who's the ninth?" Celestia giggled.

"Well, we were hoping you." You tilt your head like a confused dog.

'Brain.exe is not responding. Would you like to stop the program?' You could almost say that you were insane, but you weren't. This was actually happening, a once in a lifetime chance.

"Do I have a choice in this?" You ask, and Celestia shook her head.

"Nope!" She sometimes just liked to fuck with you, but you could tell she was serious.

"Why not?" You asked.

"Because the crystal already chose you. I can't change the decision of whoever it chooses." She shrugged. You sigh as you slump down.

"I guess I accept." You groan, and she clapped her hands once before retrieving a box with a Silver Cuff with an octagonal jewel in the center, you had to admit it looked pretty girly, but the 2 inch cuff made up for it. It shimmered for a moment and then went back to its original clear color.

"It looks fitting on you." Celestia was pleased, but you, not so much. You try to take it off, and surprisingly it comes off as if it was lubed.

You then put it back on your wrist as you put your hand out, your hand started to glow blue and you pick up a pencil. It was surprisingly a lot like Kinesis, just to add to your Dead Space like dementia. You could possibly find some good use for this, as for Stasis, you don't know how, but you could somehow learn one day. You then try to shoot the pencil, and you pulsed your hand forward, and the next thing you know it was impaled to the wall.

"Wow, you learn really fast!" Twilight exclaimed, you smile and nod. You rotate your wrist, looking at your new accessory, you had to admit, magic was fun.

"This is better than I thought." You say to yourself, and Celestia chuckled.

"Okay, enough goofing around. You need to take the creed if you want to keep the bracelet. Okay repeat after me..." You then get ready to repeat whatever she says.

"I will not compromise the Order, or my fellow members." You repeat her steadily and slowly.

"I will not use magic for evil of any kind." You repeat her once again, with your right hand held high.

"I will use this magic to only benefit myself or society."

"I will stay loyal to this Order until I die."

"Okay, you're pretty much set. Make sure to come by tomorrow, we'll start your first lesson by then. For now just don't use any type of magic, since you have yet to know what you are capable of." You nod as you walk out of her office. Twilight was also with you, very excited that you were now a member.

"I'm so happy you got one! Now I can teach you what I know!" Twilight had a crazed look in her eyes.

"I dunno Twi, I'd prefer to be taught by Celestia, with her knowing much more than you." You say, but Twilight took this into serious offense.

"Twilight, don't get me wrong, it's just that I'm so new to this thing. Being all of a sudden being invited to use magic, it's a bit overwhelming to me." You sit down on a bench, putting a hand on your head. You look down to your left wrist, where the metal cuff was, and just look at it, bewildered of what potential it has, and how dangerous it can be.

"I was not so sure at first, but I got it down really fast, just like you." Twilight tried to reassure you, but you shook your head.

"No Twilight, she said that every crystal is different, I don't want to accidentally hurt someone. Plus, Celestia knows more than any of us, I want to learn from a safe and controlled environment." You say, she shrugs as she goes back to her dorm. You were left, sitting on the bench outside of Celestia's office.

Luna comes up to you, and sits next to you, you notice her and greet her.

"Hello Luna." You say.

"Oh, hey. I see you got your magical conduit." She points to your wrist bracelet.

"Yeah, but I just don't know how to approach this. I-It's just so sudden, being invited to an order, using magic, it's all just mind boggling." You frustrate.

"Indeed, I had a hard time dealing with it myself. Eventually, I learned to accept it, and understand it better. After your first lesson tomorrow, most of your questions will be answered. I promise." She put a hand on your shoulder.

"Thanks Luna, I truly feel a bit better." Some of the anxiety has eased off of your shoulders, either because Luna's hand was on it or that you felt relief.

"Anytime, anytime. Now run along before you get a detention for being after curfew." She went back to her strict self, you sigh as you light jog back to your dorm, which happened to be one building away.

As you head back to your dorm, you were getting bad vibes in the area, the wind wasn't blowing, and it was dead silent. You hurry back to your room before anything could possibly get you, just in time too, you could hear Pinkie's giggle outside of your locked door. You lay down and rest on your bed, with both hands on your chest. As you sigh you slowly started to drift to sleep, but once inside your mind, you were anything but safe.

Sorry about the wait guys. I was half asleep writing this, so it may seem either rushed or the plot was digressing, or maybe both I don't know.
