Marked with Power

Getting Gear

I decided to check my stats and saw my illusion, sneak was now at thirty. I also saw my stamina was now at one-hundred and fifty. I decided to head to Sweet Apple Acres, to see if Applejack had my crate. I had arrived at the sign and saw a pony that was red and had blondish hair, as I walked up he kicked the tree he was in front of. "Hi, I'm looking for Applejack. Do you know where she is?" I asked the red pony.

"Eeyup, she is at Carousel Boutique. I assume you are Jason." He said as he moved to the next tree. I saw the leaves were starting to turn their fall colors. I then realized it had been around three weeks since I was transported here. "The name is Big Macintosh, but most call me Big Mac."

"Nice to meet you." I said as I turned and walked a good bit away and said. "I'm going ghost" as I said this my hair and clothes inverted color my hair turned a dark teal, and my clothes turned white. I then grabbed Pisica and started flying. I got above the trees and was hit by a gust of wind and saw a rainbow trial following a blue blur. I assumed the blur was what caused the gust that hit me.

The blue blur slowed down and made a U-turn. I saw that it was the rainbow-haired pony, from the picture on the floor when I battled my darker self. The pony slowly glided their way to me, and started circling me. It was at this moment I saw Pinkie bouncing across the treetops.

"Hi, Rainbow hi, Jason. Like the new look, wait since when can you fly?" Pinkie asked as she came to a stop, and was just standing on air. It was at this moment I got a headache from this sight, and my transformation suddenly stopped on its own. I started to fall and was grabbed by the one I now knew to be called Rainbow. "Nice catch Rainbow" Pinkie said as she just walked down a set of invisible stairs.

"Thanks, Pinkie but what is this?" Rainbow asked as she got me to my feet.

"My name Is Jason and I'm a human and to answer your question Pinkie I just learned how to fly thanks to a gift from Discord. He knew I would need a better way to travel so he gave me powers, based on one of my possessions I lost when I was sent here." I said as I explained why I was able to fly now. "I need to go see Rarity then I'm going on a road trip, and thank you for catching me." I said as I started down the path to town.

After a few minutes I was in town and I was able to see the Carousel Boutique. As I arrived I saw Applejack and Rarity were outside the shop with my crate. I saw it had two backpack-like straps. I know they did this so it would be easy for me to carry it with me. I also saw a button on each strap and a latch on the back. I figured the latch was to keep it closed and when I felt it, it had a very smooth feel. I undid the latch and felt inside, it was soft and warm like it had carpet all over the inside.

"Nice to see you like it Jason I found a spell that would give it the strength of any material I could use as a sample, and a temperature spell that can be adjusted with the dial below the latch, but it does need to be recharged once a week." Rarity said as she illuminated the dial. "It took about three emeralds to make it this tough so I am going to ask for twenty more bits."

As I handed over the twenty bits Applejack spoke. "And I suggested the straps and the Idea for the buttons to undo the straps." I now had forty-five bits left but I had a question.

"Do you have a spell that can make it so it can match the state of myself? Because I recently got a power that allows me to travel through solid objects." She shook her head no. "Thanks anyway, now I need to go to the train and start my travels to other towns. It was at this moment I realized I had never told Pisica to follow me. I then went back to the woods to find him sleeping. I woke him up and found that Discord had left us a new gift. I saw just to the left a chest that was full of food for Pisica and was weightless so I gave around five pounds of meat to Pisica. The chest did not restock itself when I checked it.

I put Pisica into the carrier, and then I remembered I saw a shop in town that had an anvil as its sign. As I approached the shop I started hearing the sound of a hammer hitting metal. I entered the shop and found to my surprise there was a set of armor there that was my size. "I assume you're the one Discord had me make this for." The blacksmith said as I walked up to the counter.

"Yes, so what do I owe you if anything." I said as I saw the armor was a leather-like fabric that was surprisingly tough.

"Discord paid for a good amount of it so all you have to pay is thirty bits." I wasn't going to wonder how Discord got my measurements so I paid the stallion and made my way towards Canterlot to visit Celestia. I opened the map and saw that Canterlot was on a mountain to the northeast of Ponyville. So I looked around a castle on a mountainside after doing a one-eighty. With my destination in sight, I made my way to the outskirts of town. I decided to follow the train tracks to get up there and figured It would be a three-day walk. I decided to check the ticket booth and saw the tickets were twenty bits. After paying for my armor I only had fifteen left so I decided to walk.
