//------------------------------// // Chapter 1: Chaos Magic 101 // Story: Misadventures of a Human turned Draconequus // by Zhe Pydoh //------------------------------// It's been five, six, twenty four hours since I read the letter. I dunno how long it's been, I don't keep track, so don't ask me. I STILL haven't even tried out my chaos magic. One does not simply not come to Equestria and give their powers a test drive. I sat down on a rock, probably not the smartest idea but I was exhausted from walking and I wasn't thinking clearly, so shaddup. I snapped my fingers and a Ford Mustang appeared out of nowhere. I snapped my fingers again and the Mustang vanished. Without even thinking, I said, "Man, I would kill for a grilled cheese sandwich right about now." After saying that, I snapped my fingers. To my surprise, and subsequent joy, a grilled cheese sandwich from In-N-Out appeared in my hand and I was happily snacking on it. With my snack done, I decided to keep flying. One snap of my fingers, I banished the wrappings. I snapped my fingers and conjured some a tactical vest for myself. I also magicked my backpack from my room back on Earth. I also magicked my own room so nothing would happen to it and stored it away in another realm. So far, I'v been able to use my chaos magic without so much as breaking a sweat. "I wonder if I'm as powerful as Discord?" I wondered out loud. Guess the only way for me to find out is if he challenges me to a chaos magic fight. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Five minutes later... I wound up in Canterlot, I was just flying around with no particular destination in mind, yet I somehow managed to find my way here without even trying. YES! THE HOME OF PRINCESS CELESTIA AND LUNA! Oh crap. I know what this means... the inevitable meeting with royalty. "HALT CREATURE!!! WHO AND WHAT MANNER OF CREATURE ARE YOU?!?!" Princess Celestia suddenly showed up and screamed in my face. Little did I know that she'd become my future wife. "My ears." "I WON'T ASK YOU AGAIN. WHAT. ARE. YOU!" she thundered. "I don't care if you believe me or not, but... I'm a draconequus, but I wasn't always." A moment of silence that was so deafening that I swear I heard crickets. Then: "WHAT! IMPOSSIBLE! DISCORD IS THE ONLY DRACONEQUUS! WHO SENT YOU!" "Nobody sent me. I came here of my own accord. I just want to learn to be a better friend..." I sobbed into my paws. Tears staining my fur as I started sobbing. Celestia flew over to me and hugged me. "WAIT Y-*HACK!* sorry. What do you mean you weren't always a draconequus?" "Exactly that. It's quite a a long story and I'm too lazy to tell that version, so I'll give you the abridged version: I was run over by a semi-truck and I woke up like this. I barely have a grasp of my powers and I just started teaching myself." "You speak the truth," I raised a paw to speak but she cut me off, "however, I'd like you to come with me to the castle and introduce you to my sister." "Do you have a name?" I thought about it for a minute and then replied, "Entropy. My name is Entropy." I face palmed myself. Ah well, it's better than any other name I could have picked from a thesaurus. "Are you sniffing my fur?!" Celestia asks. Crap! I blanched. "Uh, no." ----------------------------------------------------------------- 15 minutes later... Celestia and I had made it to Princess Luna's night court sessions. Luckily for us, it was a relatively slow day. Celestia explained everything for me to her sister. After that, Celestia directed me to my room where I'd be staying temporarily. The bed was waaaaaay too small for me, so I snapped my fingers and the bed grew to fit me. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Later that night, when everyone was asleep, the two sisters were conversing with one another. "Sister," asked Luna, "what should we do?" Celestia sighed and perched a hoof on the balcony railing, "We make friends with him. He needs friends. Ask for his friendship, and we will ask Twilight and her friends to do the same." Luna nodded, "Okay sister, I trust your judgement." Eventually Luna and I became fast friends with each other. Meanwhile Celestia sent off a letter to Twilight and her friends. "Please," Celestia prayed to no one in particular, "may Entropy learn the Magic of Friendship. As I have." She turned around and closed the doors behind her with a smile on her face.
