Power is Magic

Princess Celestia

Pain. Love. Confusion. Imagination. I could only describe so little of what I was seeing. I can't let her do any harm here. Her magic is not based on her cutie mark, and neither is it based on her magic limits, capabilities. It was based on her mind, her imagination. I never knew that some pony, or should I say some one, would have such an enigmatic mind. Although you could say that everyone is like that in their own way. Just pondering for awhile can make anyone more wise, smart, and knowledgeable. I do not know what to do with her, now. Putting her magic out seems like the best solution, or maybe teach her like Twilight Sparkle. Although she is from a different place; she might have different standards. She looked at me with curiosity. I stopped searching her history and life. Dear me, I have never seen such advancements in technology before, maybe Equestria can benefit from that. Dear me, this 'shipping' is the most disgustingly strange thing I have heard of. Dear me, I must test her power.

-Now, what is your name?

-Human name, or pony name?

-Either is fine.

-My pony name that I made up was hard to find, but it is Pastel. My 'real' human name is Sky.

-Very well. Do you know where I am taking you?

-Um, no. You going to... get rid of me or something?

-That is a possibility. Now is not the time; I cannot judge the cover of a book.

Sky and I walked down the long corridor, through Canterlot. The beauty of it, I could explain so much, and yet at the same time, so little. We were headed towards my quarters; my personal, private room. I seldom let anypony in. In fact, the only ponies that have been in my room other than me were Luna, Twilight, a few servants and a few guards on those days of random paranoia. Now, a human, that was somehow turned into a pony. If this can happen, anything can happen. I only wish that something good comes out of her presence here. I cast a protection spell on myself, Luna, and the whole castle before the guards brought her in. I am only making sure that whatever happens, nothing will be permanently destroyed, for this is an ancient and important building of Equestria. If it were to fall... everyone would be lost, angry, confused, even mad. As we entered my room, Sky looked around in awe. I could see why. In most houses and homes, bedrooms normally have one small bed, a closet, and a few shelves. Just enough space for one pony. My quarters, as I call it, has quite a large bed, it's own washroom of course, and a walk-in closet large enough for ten or more ponies to fit in. There was a secret though. In both my washroom and walk-in closet are two hidden levers. Once both are pulled down, a secret passage opens up under my bed, in which you have to use a shrinking and teleportation spell to get under, since magic is strangely restricted in that area. That was where I could go and let my emotions loose, without having anypony hearing or seeing me in the process. It's not just about having the fancy life, being the ruler of Equestria. There are its pros and cons. I only told Luna about this, and I have to reveal it to some pony else, who is not even of my same species. I went and pulled both levers, then the testing begun.

"Now, Sky, I want you to do a shrinking spell on both of us" She thought for second."Shrinking, okay" The first peculiar thing I noticed about her was her magic. It was of a dark color, maroon or even black. Not many ponies have that. The magic aura of a pony depends on their aura itself, or their cutie mark, and their eyes. Her cutie mark was red and black. An asterisk made out of a paintbrush, an eighth note, and a seeing needle, surrounded by an elliptic ring. She cast the spell with ease, explaining the fact that her magic abilities were mainly powered from her imagination. We were as small as mice now. "Sky, the next thing I want you to do is to teleport us under my bed" This was testing advanced teleportation spells; where you don't need to see where you are going to teleport to. She did that spell quite easily as well. The secret passage under my bed gradually became larger, so that you could get back to normal size at the bottom. The secret room wasn't just a hole in the earth, it was painted, decorated, and nicely furnished, so that there is something to do other than bawl on a cold, stone floor. She noticed the increase in size, so she used a size changing spell. "Ha, easy!" I knew she was to think this as something simple. "This is only the start..."

"Shape shifting, please" Sky was doing pretty well, despite that she was not an alicorn, which was what the guards said when they took her. Did she really look like one? Or we're they seeing things? I could only guess, but then when she changed back to a pony, her mane started to flow, and her cutie mark would change as well. Eventually, she had wings as well, and her horn sharply became longer. The testing was almost over, and it was just the perfect time; sunset.

-Well done. You are pretty good at this, aren't you?

-Uh, thanks. Did I really do that good? I thought I screwed it up a lot, but that could just be me.

-It's actually quite impressive how you turned into an alicorn.

-What? I'm an alicorn again? Hm, that's weird.

-Enough with the conversation, there is one more thing to do. Wait here, while I call Luna.

-Uh, does it have to do with...

-Test first, questions later.

-Okay, I guess.

Pastel

Princess Celestia came back with Luna, and I noticed the sun was already setting down. So, I am going to lower the sun? Raise the moon? Luna pulled off the 'Twilight love story stare' at me which is starting to get less annoying now that a lot of ponies are giving it to me. They were once again having a  conversation, but I could tell that they were not arguing, but discussing. I can't possibly take this sort of responsibility, I've had a lot of experiences, and they are not pretty in my opinion. I can't go a whole year, without losing some sort of electronic or item of valuable-ness for awhile. Then I either find it in an obvious place, or eventually forget about it. I can't go on a year without getting some sort if emotional and/or educational break-out. I easily get distracted, and I can easily get pissed off. So why me? They walked up to me, and the expression they gave me... I guessed it right. I was both raising the moon and lowering the sun. Conflicting emotions here. I could swear I heard hundreds of angels and devils on both my shoulders mixed up and disguised. But one was different; it was worth a try. I sighed in doubt of what would happen, and I know karma's going to kick me in the butt, like hard. I'm expecting anything to happen, really. I can't screw up anything here. Oh hey look! Karma is going to fuck me up with my completely wrong statement of how I shouldn't screw up! Eyup. Something is big is going to happen, I know it. I walked towards the large balcony, which faced the sun. Taking a deep breath, I did it. Lowering the sun and raising the moon became a blur in my head. My focus was going all over the place. Then I saw Discord. He smiled at me, and then I realized...

"Stop it right now!" The two sisters exclaimed in unison. "What?" I regained focus on what was happening. The sun was moving on its own, as well as the moon. The moon had a using yang symbol on it as well. Princess Celestia's room was in chaos. The princesses manes stopped flowing as well. They seemed no longer regal, as they turned into normal sized ponies, still keeping their wings and horns. Their expressions turned from surprise to fear. "Can you please tell me what going on?" Wait, my voice sound different. "What the fuck? Hey, who's changing my accent?" Oh, wait, that actually does happen to me in real life. It's quite embarrassing when in happens in public. "Seriously, what is going on?" Then an image Discord once again flashed in my mind. I lost control of myself, and I saw what I was doing. Discord was basically using me as a puppet of his. Soon, chocolate rain, double rainbows and dancing buffaloes were all I could see.

~Chocolate rain. Some are dry, some others feel the pain.. Heh

-

~Well, of course it is. Who else would it be? I showed you lovely pictures of my face.

-

~Simple. Every time a human comes to this world,  one of the magic locks break. You were the sixth to come. Thank you very much. I must go, my chaos needs me.

-

What a buzz kill. Why did he... how... WAT. I regained control of my body. The not-really-princesses looked really pissed off. If they had their power back, I'd be radioactively burnt toast. Luna still had her ROYAL CANTERLOT VOICE and wow it's still intimidating when she looks like a filly. At this point, I was having an emotional break-down. I'm getting myself into trouble now. "DISCORD, STOP IT RIGHT NOW!" Her voice echoed throughout the castle. I had to stand up for myself if I don't want to be blamed on. "I'm not Discord! He escaped because... Humans!" Her voice became louder.

-YOU, ARE YOU ALLIES WITH HIM?

-I'm not! Trust me!

-Ah well. It seems that you are hiding something.

That was it. I couldn't take it anymore. I am merely a teenager, and I'm getting blamed for eternal chaos in an entirely different dimension and universe. Oh and I have been given this power and responsibly? Really? I'd sooner make a mess and regret everything, or take it for granted, then the world becomes unstable of the karma; *poof!*, I just destroyed everything. I cannot go a day without giving to a simple temptation; like playing my Ipad on the toilet for too long and all that shit. Oh and have I mentioned that I am only 15?

"You say I'm evil? Have I even said anything about it?" A crack of thunder and lightning struck outside."Then Discord-like problems come along and you blame me, look at that stained glass!" The windows shattered violently. "Almost everyone wants me to be the 'perfect' person, and I can't even drive, or even...!" The mad alicorn teleported herself right beside the little alicorns, whispering in their ears. "And now this..." A magic lock was put on them both, making them helpless. To make things worse, they were immobilized, only words from their mouths could make it through the spells Pastel put on them. She ran off, changing back to appearing as a regular unicorn. Princess Celestia knew it, she knew something would happen, and this was what she was preparing for. Now, they know they don't stand a chance against her. One question floated around in her mind though; why did Sky spare them?.

"Pastel! What's going on? I've barely gotten to know you, heck, you haven't met half of my friends!" Pastel turned to face Twilight and her friends. "It is hard to explain, but I assure you that you won't die in the process." The other ponies could only imagine what horrible things she might do to them; slavery, take over Equestria, anything could happen. Rainbow Dashes big ego got the best of her in the situation. "You'll never dare hurt the princesses! Come on and lets fight!" The power mad alicorn cast a spell. No pony knew what exactly it did, but they could see a dark aura surround her dagger-like horn.

-Rainbow, do you know where the elements of harmony are?

-I'm never telling you!

-If you want to fight you might as well get the elements, shame that it's all the back at Ponyville.

-Well, how did you know? Are you like, sort of a friend with Discord?

-First of all, Discord has no friends at this point in time. I know, because I am from a different dimension.

-Come on, tell the truth, or I'll beat the fucking flying feathers out of you!

-You would never believe me. When I say such things, you ponies either get pissed off or feel useless. I wouldn't want to hurt you ponies right now.

-You should say that I'm loyal at least.  By the way, didn't you have friends?

-Seems that your putting down your arrogance. Anywhale, I do have friends. I bet Twilight here found out friendship after school, but I had friends for the last 6 years of my education at school. But sometimes, I question this. What are true friends? Am I treating them correctly? I only want the best to happen.

-Then why capture us at all? You do have friends.

-To forge ties between.. Haha, actually, I want to play a game with you. It's worth a try with you ponies here already. I need to show you what we are going to play. I have a special game in mind for me and one of the princesses.

-It better not involve death!

-Now that I think about it, it does involve death. Don't you little ponies worry, you'll come back to life, it's a video game miracle called 'respawning' and 'restarting' in which you cannot do in real life.

The ponies were scared the moment she mentioned this very fact. They had no idea what was in store for them.
