Chapter 1: Prologue

Load Full Story Next Chapter

It was a normal day per se, the majority of the day's occurrences were common and mundane, events that everyone had done before. Unfortunately for this town of ponies however many more subtle devices, just under the surface, were happening as well. These hidden actions spun around the town, nopony noticed, nopony would notice as they busied themselves tying the inescapable knots of the universe. These strings, of course, would have little meaning on their own, however they were now rotating around the single strongest point of magic in the town, Twilight Sparkle.

The librarian herself was busy with sorting the books in her library when the first circumstance made itself known, a visit to the door and a talk with her friend Rarity informed the lavender mare that a blue mare she had thought gone from the town forever had come back boasting that she would triumph where she failed the last time. What was unknown to either of the close friends was that Trixie’s sudden assurity that she could defeat Twilight came from a power she had made a deal with, a power not of this peaceful world.

The lavender unicorn was heading out the door when a book nearby was knocked over by the sudden commotion. And thus the second hidden action was revealed as Twilight briefly glanced down at the page the book had fallen open to, theories on planar teleportation. With a sigh at her own carelessness the magic adept unicorn placed the book back where it had been. It's occurrence would cause her much more pain then she suspected though, the mare hoped to end this encounter with the unicorn who despised her in a peaceful fashion and get back to her books. Unfortunately however, destiny was fighting her on this one and she wasn’t aware enough to push back.

There was one more powerful thing however that broke the basket and tipped the scales to the event that was about to occur, the friends of the unicorn joined her on the way to confront Trixie. As has already been told, none of the events, if separated or done to a different unicorn, would have caused the same event. For this particular pony, this magically inclined and experienced caster, had something inside her that few beings did.

So when the Fates of destiny had drawn their lots and the two unicorn mares met in town square, blue and purple. Events triggered that had been being set up all day, events that still twirled around librarian, waiting to bestow its gift. It has been said that actions are like little droplets of water falling into a pond where they send out smaller and smaller waves to affect the rest of the liquid around them. It is nothing like this, events are like a fire and all the possible reactions are like tinder, the fire jumps from reaction to reaction blazing furiously and relentlessly as it destroys the normalcy that once stood.

Our librarian, the magic user herself, applied her idea to try and end things peaceably before anypony was hurt. The showmare was in opposition of this idea and with anger that she had not had previous the blue mare started the fight and fired the first magic bolt. The lavender mare tried to protect herself and her friends with defensive magic but the relentless onslaught would not let up.

It came to blows, scars were gained on both sides and the surrounding area was demolished as wayward spells hit random targets. It was back and forth for a while but the purple magic that was flung wildly through the air was beginning to beat away the blue magic. It was in this moment, just as the last purple magic bolt was cast at the showmare that it was destroyed mid flight, the blue mare smiled an evil grin that didn’t look to fit her face as a fireball rained down from the sky.

In her panic the librarian dug deep into herself and tried to find something, some remaining amount of magic to save not only herself but her friends as well. It was in this desperation, this powerful motivating desperation, that a thought came to her mind, planar teleportation. It was among many of the pieces of thought that ran through her mind and it would have gone completely unnoticed if she hadn't read it in a book not moments before arriving, but when she thought it she felt a spark within her.

When she focused on the spark, attempting to grab hold of this last detached magic it lead her outside her body, she gathered magic from the Everfree, from the plains to the south, from Froggy Bottom Bog, and from Ponyville itself, the magic was gathered quickly as the fireball fell towards her, but she still needed more magic. She found one more source, she took mana from the power of her friends spirits, the positive emotions that flowed through them, and she cast her spell.

She and her friends were dragged across entire universes and worlds as they were taken along by Twilight’s magic, when the magical pull finally wore away the six ponies found themselves amongst an odd assortment of buildings, the night was falling and several odd bipedal creatures were running quickly into the structures, they were running quickly and the lavender mare thought she could smell the fear that was running through the air, something was off.



"Destiny and Fate are the same thing, only simple minded fools fear one but hope for the other."
