"Magic. It is an elusive force that has held Equestria together since its birth. It is a vital part of everypony's life, whether they're a unicorn or not. But still, one question remains: What is magic itself? Where did it come from? My name is Twilight Sparkle. You may remember me from the hit show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Well…today, I'm on a different quest. With my loyal assistant, Spike, I will set out on a long journey throughout Equestria…and even elsewhere…to search for clues as to the origin of magic. So…here goes nothing."

MAGIC: THE SUMMONING
Narrated and Directed by Twilight Sparkle

"My journey begins closer to home. I am visiting my friend Zecora's hut. And, as you may have guessed, she's a zebra."

Twilight knocked on the door with her hoof, Spike sitting on her back.

"Twilight Sparkle, what a pleasant surprise! It is so nice of you to drop by!"

"Thanks for having me, Zecora. But I'm here for a purpose: I'm doing a documentary on the history of magic."

"Hmm…explains all the cameras. But if it's magic and spells you desire, sit down, for I am no liar."

Twilight and the camera crew made themselves comfortable while Spike explored the hut.

"Years ago, my momma told me a story, about how our world was made, and it is not boring."

Twilight leaned in closer.

"Years ago, there was a giant coyote and owl, and yet they were the only mammal and fowl. They were sitting around, doing absolutely nothing but throwing away sticks they had just finished cutting. Suddenly, without any reason, the coyote plucked some of his fur, began to stir, and added a little season. A beautiful woman came out of the pot, the first zebra that would produce a lot. Thus, the brew was born, yet the coyote had the IQ of creamed corn. He mixed everything up, without any regard to others. He used these potions to make zebras with no stripes and children without mothers. The coyote did not like what he did, but he did not know otherwise, he was just a kid. The owl was more sophisticated with his potions. He created the first village, striped zebras, and soothing bath time lotions. The coyote was very jealous of his friend, and so, he began to plan out his end."

Even Spike was listening now.

"One day, while Owl was creating the first quilted rug, coyote threw a rock at his head…He fell down with a thud. The first evil was brought into the world, thanks to coyote and the rock being hurled. The coyote liked the feeling that coursed through his veins. So, with his friend being dead, he stirred up a great rain. All of owl's creations were being destroyed, while coyote laughed a twisted laugh of joy."

"This is a load of barnacles," Spike whispered.

Zecora narrowed her eyes at him.

"I think she heard you."

"Oh, uh, sorry, continue on."

"Gladly. In the midst of the flood that killed all of the good-hearted, one survived, so they were just getting started. His name was the first king of our civilization. His name is so long, I do not have the correct pronunciation. He was so mighty and so strong that he defeated the entire evil city by himself…the coyote was hung. The king took out Coyote's instruction book, and found a spell that really made him look. It was a spell from his old friend's, that could take the deceased and bring them to life again. The bowels of the Earth were opened up, the sky spewed snow, rain, sleet, and hail at the same time, all as the king worked furiously as he danced, chanted, and mimed. Complicated spells were completed, the king knew what he was doing, and the owl was yet again hoot-hoot-hooting. To this day, evil still exists in the world, at the intention of the rock that was hurled. To this day, no one has found that stone, but if someone did…we would all go to a Paradise Home."

All the ponies, humans, and Spike were staring at Zecora.

"Uh…thank you, Zecora, but doesn't that explain more about good and evil more than magic?"

"My people believe that magic is good and evil itslef, fighting it out. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go heat up some sauerkraut."

"Um…okay."

The four stepped out of Zecora's hut and continued their quest.

"Well, that wasn't much help," Spike complained.

"I don't know, Spike, we still have a long ways to go, and sometimes, Zecora might be more help than you might think."

"Well…she did save our butts more than once."

Twilight's journey took her to Canterlot, Saddle Arabia, and Burbank. She ended up winning an Emmy Award for Best Documentary. She even beat a documentary on Penguin Genocide. It would've been watched even more if it hadn't been aired during the Super Bowl.
