Wayward Hearts

Chapter 1 
Summoner
“C`mon Trixie,” A light blue mare with rainbow streaked hair scoffed at the stage lighter blue pony with a large pointy hat. Rainbow Dash had been giving Trixie, no, the Great and Powerful Trixie trouble ever since she came back to Ponyville to gain her fame through a more humble gambit. Through being the best show pony in Equestria!

However her past reputation was coming around to bite her in the flank. The last trick involved pulling a rabbit out of her hat. Unfortunately the rabbit wasn't very cooperative making her drop her trick cards, toppled a stand full of “magic marbles” and released her pigeons too early. The laughing scorn that came from the crowd was almost unbearable. The embarrassment was almost too much to bear as she pushed herself deeper into her star dotted cloak.
The ponies teased her about her lack of variety of tricks, most which any pony can do. Trixie's talent was in playful pranks and illusions not feats of great magic. A sly grin crawled across her face, she had one new trick. It was a summoning spell, she learned it from a dusty old tome forgotten by most unicorns. Twilight, the purple unicorn which made her the laughing stock she was now, did know of it herself but only to teleport.

Regaining her composure she called out to the dispersing crowd, “Wait! I do have a new spell! One that even Twilight Sparkle could not cast as it was supposed to!”
Rainbow Dash rolled her magenta eyes with a mocking sigh, “Alright Trixie! Lets see it!” She called out with several ponies agreeing. Trixie gave a sharp look at the light blue pegasus and began to gather enough magic for the spell. The spell was not easy for it required a lot of magic, more than what she possessed. Trixie had several charms and rings hidden in her hair and cloak that might have been just decorations in hindsight, that sales colt was grinning too often.
Focus Trixie! With this spell, they will call me The Great and Powerful Trixie! A magical field enveloped her horn as she began drawing the strength to pull the spell off. Starswirl the Bearded had made this spell, rumored to be the spell behind his disappearance.
“I will summon out of myth and legend! It will be nothing like you've ever seen before!” Trixie had to yell above the growing wind. Clouds began to cover the sky above obscuring the suns brilliance plunging the town in darkness save for the glow of Trixie's horn. The winds roar was punctured with the thunder's occasional crack revealing all of Ponyville in brief flashes of light. Trixie was obscured by the magical light which whirled around her.

The energy was threatening to tear Trixie's frail body apart, already blood began to flow out of her nose. While the energy scratched and tore at her coat she whispered a simple wish, “Please, make this work.” The spell exploded outwards scorching the ground around her with the force of a hurricane mixed with an inferno. Other than the burnt stage still cracking and snapping around her, the wounds were minor. Trixie's eyes burned from the ash that was tossed up in the air, “This never happened when I was practicing.” Trixie thought stunned. All she ever practiced was on small dolls and Snips and Snails. Many of the ponies who were close to the stage hunched over hurt with small burns. Trixie looked around for the thing she had summoned her eyes combing the stage and the crowd but nothing had changed. Nothing save for some very angry ponies.

The next ten minutes the air was full of anything a pony could pick up and hurl it at Trixie driving her from town. Trixie fled from Ponyville swearing revenge but never slowing down even after her eyes blurred from her tears.
