After several minutes in the air, both Zorann and Luxxoria were showing signs of annoyance. Below them, the trees kept on coming, and there were no signs of Horde settlements anywhere.
"See if that damn portal sent us back in time..." Zorann began.
"Don't start that again." Luxxoria snapped. "I've already told you that's not possible. I'm a Blood Elf, not a Bronze Drake."
In the distance, the silhouette of a town became visible. Luxxoria was first to see it, and nudged Zorann.
"I can see buildings over there!" she said.
"Good," replied Zorann, "because I'm getting tired."
As the town came into view, Luxxoria looked down at it. What she saw forced her to rub her eyes in disbelief.
"Uhhh, Zorann? Are you seeing what I'm seeing?" she asked nervously, pointing down at the ground.
Zorann looked down. Below them were several creatures which resembled ponies. They appeared to be running in various directions while pointing at the sky.
"Yeah, I see them as well." he said. "I guess its safe to say that our arrival hasn't gone unnoticed."
"Land in the market." said Luxxoria. "Whoever, or whatever, these things are, they'd better have a reagent vendor."
"They look like ponies." said Zorann, unable to keep the amusement out of his voice.
Zorann set himself down in the now empty market square. As Luxxoria climbed off his back, she saw that the ponies were running into buildings, closing the doors and windows behind them.
"I wonder what's got them all worked up?" Luxxoria asked.
"Not sure." Said Zorann, as he shifted back into a tauren. He walked over to join Luxxoria, just as one of the ponies came out from the plant pot it had been hiding behind.
"You ... you're not a real dragon?" it said. It was yellow, with a pink mane and a set of wings.
Zorann and Luxxoria looked at each other. "Did that thing just talk?" they asked together.
"Em, yes. I-I did." squeaked the pony.
"We don't have time to deal with this." said Zorann. He strode over to the shaking pony. "Now, can you please tell us where Stonebreaker Hold is, so we can continue with our journey?" he demanded, kneeling next to her.
"I-I-I've never heard of s-s-such a p-place." the pony stammered.
"You live in Terrokar Forest, and you've never heard of the Horde outpost at Stonebreaker?" Luxxoria said, raising her eyebrows.
"Tero-what? I don't know what you're talking about." the pony lowered herself on the ground as far as she would go.
"This is a joke, right?" Zorann sighed.
"N-no, it's not. This is Ponyville. The only forest near here is the Everfree, and the nearest town is Canterlot." the pony hid behind her hooves and covered herself with her mane.
Zorann's face went blank and he stood up. He turned around and glared at Luxxoria.
"Way to go, murloc-brain!" he shouted. "Your damn portal has sent us to a totally different planet!"
Luxxoria scratched her head. "I don't see how. I checked and double checked the incantation." She sighed.
"It should have been obvious." she muttered. "I've been all over Outland, and I've never seen a place as ... colourful ... as this."
Both Horde looked around at the various buildings. There was one that appeared to be made out of candy, another that looked like a carousel, and another that appeared to be a tree.
"So what do we do now?" asked Zorann.
"Well," a smile spread across Luxxoria's face, "if this is a new place, then the Alliance will have no influence here, right?"
"Yeah..." Zorann was curious as to where Luxxoria was going.
"And the fact no guards have arrived tells me this place doesn't have much in the way of defence."
"I think I can see where you're going with this." said Zorann, as he cast Mark of the Wild on them both.
Luxxoria's smile turned into a grin as she summoned her Water Elemental. She followed that up by applying her Fire Shield, and then cast Arcane Intellect to boost her mana.
Zorann shifted into his cat form and took a position next to Luxxoria. "Ready to cause some trouble?" he laughed.
"Of course I am." Luxxoria replied, her fingers swirling with the energy of a spell.
The yellow pony peeked out from behind her hooves and saw that Zorann wasn't in her face. Seeing her chance, she tried to sneak away, but was spotted by Luxxoria.
"Oh no, you don't!" she yelled, unleashing a torrent of frost towards the helpless pony. It struck her body, knocking her onto her side and freezing her solid.
The other ponies gasped in horror and tried to run. Zorann and Luxxoria both let out an evil laugh.
"FOR THE HORDE!" they yelled, and began their attack.
