Chapter 14 - Mysterious Magic
Chapter 14 - Mysterious Magic
*Twilight’s P.O.V.*
“What happened?” I asked Joshua with concern in my voice.
Joshua turned to look at us, his eyes starting to fill up. “I was taking my shirt off, but then while my head was in my shirt, there was a bright light on my forehead. That’s when I screamed. The light went away; I took off my shirt all the way, looked in the mirror, and saw this.” He then pointed at his newly formed horn. “What’s happening to me?” he asked starting to cry. He then ran towards me and wrapped his arms around my neck, sobbing into my chest fur. I wrapped one of my forelegs around him and started rubbing his back to try and comfort him. We had to figure out what was happening to Joshua, and Celestia was the only pony that could possibly know.
“Spike?”
“I know, Twi,” Spike responded pulling out a quill and parchment. I narrated the letter while continuing to comfort Joshua.
Dear Princess Celestia,
We have an issue regarding our human friend, Joshua. He told me that while taking off his clothes, he saw a bright light from inside his shirt on his forehead. After the light disappeared, he pulled it off the rest of the way and discovered a small unicorn’s horn while looking in the mirror. We have no idea how it appeared, or by what means. So we are turning to you for advice. Please respond as soon as possible, because Joshua is really scared at the moment.
Your faithful student and fellow princess,
Twilight Sparkle
“Twilight...Sparkle, there,” Spike said. He then rolled up the scroll, and breathed his green flame on it, sending it to Celestia. Joshua was still sobbing after we sent the letter. Nyx had trotted up to us, looking at Joshua concerned.
“Is he going to be okay?” she asked.
“I honestly don’t know,” I told her while still rubbing Joshua’s back, “but I hope so. Princess Celestia is our best bet right now. I just hope she’ll be able to figure out what’s wrong.”
After a few minutes, a bright light flashed from the stairs.
“Twilight, are you up there?” Celestia’s voice called from downstairs.
“Coming,” I told her, “Come on Joshua. Let’s go see if Celestia can help okay?”
Joshua looked up at me, still slightly crying and shakily responded, “O-o-okay.” Keeping my foreleg around him, I led him downstairs. Spike and Nyx followed behind, both of them had worried looks on their faces. When we made our way downstairs, Princess Celestia was indeed in the room, as well as Princess Luna, both of them had concerned looks on their faces.
“We came as soon as we could, my faithful student,” Celestia said.
“Thank you, Princess,” I said. I then lifted my foreleg off Joshua and slowly nudged him toward the Princesses. “It’ll be okay Joshua. We’re all here to help you, okay?”
Joshua nodded his head at me, and then slowly walked towards Celestia. The princesses had both laid down on all fours as he walked towards them.
“Can I have a look Joshua?” Celestia asked, placing a hoof on his shoulder. Joshua nodded and lowered his head, giving Celestia a better look. She leaned in and looked carefully over his horn from all angles. After a couple minutes, she lit her horn up. Joshua saw this and got nervous, but Celestia offered a gentle smile. “It’s okay dear one, this won’t hurt.” After receiving another nod from Joshua, Celestia let the tip of her horn touch Joshua’s. A white aura surrounded Joshua’s horn as Celestia looked at it. A few minutes later, Celestia and Joshua’s horns turned off. Celestia then sighed.
“I’m not quite sure how to put this,” she said, “but it would seem that Joshua is transforming into a pony.”
“I’m turning into a pony?” he asked looking up at Celestia, “Can you stop it?”
“I’m not sure,” Celestia said, “But we will try our best Joshua. I don’t like seeing you suffer like this. You've already suffered enough.”
Joshua then walked up to Celestia and wrapped his arms around her, while she placed a wing over him, and started rubbing his back.
“I’m scared Princess Celestia,” he said crying again.
“I know Joshua,” she said comfortingly, “I promise you, Luna and I will do our best to help you in any way we can.”
Luna then put a hoof on Joshua’s shoulder and rubbed it gently. “It will be okay Joshua,” she said, “I assure you, we will figure something out.” Joshua had cried himself to sleep and was snoring soundly as his head lay on Celestia’s shoulder. Celestia then levitated him over onto my back and then stood up.
“I will have my magic researchers look into this, and we’ll try and find a solution,” she said, “Until then, try your best to comfort Joshua. He needs you all to be there for him right now.”
“Of course Princess,” I replied, “We’ll try our best.”
“Goodnight everypony,” Luna said. Then, she and Celestia teleported out of the room in a bright flash of light.
“So what now?” Nyx asked looking at Joshua sleeping on my back, concern still on her face.
“Let’s get some sleep,” I told her, “We’ll figure something out in the morning.” Nyx and Spike nodded their heads and we all went back upstairs to our beds. Spike wearily crawled into his basket and fell asleep instantly. Nyx climbed into her bed and lay her head down. I then carefully levitated Joshua next to her making sure not to wake him, brought his pajamas over, magically put them on him, and then nuzzled his cheek gently. Nyx wrapped a foreleg over him and pulled him closer to her to cuddle him. Soon, I climbed into bed after that, but didn't quite fall asleep. I couldn't stop thinking about what Joshua was going through. First he loses his old home, his friends, and his family, and now he’s becoming one of us ponies. I can only hope that we’ll figure out how to stop this without too much trouble. Sleep eventually caught up with me, and I closed my eyes.

huh turning a pony.... well unicorn wow this story is addicting
I suspect that Joshua isn't the only one to have experienced ponification.
It's likely that Lyra Heartstrings and Doctor Time Turner Whooves were also ponified.
ever see how Lyra Heartstrings sits on benches?
what if Discord came in and said "Joshua, I have bad news and good news.
the bad news is that the inherent magic of this world is rearranging your body.
the good news is that I found a spell that can stop the process by shielding you from this world's magic.
though you won't be able to use magic with the spell active."
Wow that was fast. good Job! Joshua is scared about this thing that is happening to him. If you look at it one way, becoming a pony wood help him fit in better, in Equestria but he wood loows his human form and have to learn this new form. It well be fun to see whit happen next. there will be some decisions that need to be made. The quotations is why is this happening? Can it be stop? and the last one, shooed it be stop?
Princess Celestia transform Twilight into a alicorn when she proved herself. Now this is your story and I will enjoy the story as it continues. As far as I know there is no male alicorn in Equestria, wood it not be fun to see the reaction of the ponys if Joshua became one. If Joshua became one he wood have the power transforming back to his human from when he wont to. Of cores it wood take time to learn the magic to do so. I can see him missing his hands, having been human all his life.
Keep up the good work you are doing whit this story.
Dragonfox
It will be all right Joshua.
It will all be okay Joshua. The Princesses and your family will know what to do.
This is gonna be sweet!
Oh I mean..... good luck Joshua!
....The transformation isn't permanent, is it?.
3087099 You'll just have to wait and see.
At least there's a silver lining to this, he's young enough that he will adapt quickly. In so many other stories the human is an adult who then laments/regrets their loss of humanity to one degree or another, bumbling around as a pony trying to do things with hooves and walk on two legs.
But only the author knows how far this will go. Maybe it'll stop with the horn? We're now treading on anthropomorphic territory so it's just a measure of degrees form here to 'full pony'. But when he gets his cutie mark, then we will know without a doubt that he's been accepted (or assimilated) into Equestria as one of Celestia's little ponies.
It is kind of logical he become a unicorn however, both parents were scientists and undoubtedly brilliant... which manifests itself in him too. As for turning into an alicorn? No. There is not a single reason why he should turn into the next almighty alicorn. A 'mutant' pegacorn... maybe. By mutant I mean there is no indication of another existing in the show itself, so maybe that word is too harsh and I should use 'unique' instead. Well, he's a human, from another dimension. If that's not unique then I don't know what could make it more unique! Heh.
Hmm, humans have no specialization, unlike the three pony types. Maybe a pegacorn is the natural equivalent for a human in Equestria? We're the jack of all trades, yet master of none. I'm tempted to say Changeling but only in so much as the form of one having both wings and horn. We crave companionship (herding?) but we don't drain love, and the most we can disguise ourselves with is a mustache and plastic glasses (no doppelganger magic sadly).
no nono nonono N.O. NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO NO FREEKING PONY TRnsformations pleese not while you are yousing my name plesse thank you very much
I can understand zi growing of zi horn, but no turn him into zi pony.
