Eye see problems






Imamu let Zecora cry for a little but the moment didn’t last long.

“Adanna!” he said a little louder than the way he usually talked, but not loud enough to make it seem like he was shouting or that he was angry.

“I was just so worried,
That if we had not hurried,
That Apple Bloom...
Apple Bloom is she alright?”

“Take a look for yourself,” Imamu moved aside and the now filly sized Zecora ran towards Apple Bloom.

She found the little pony passed out and glowing softly. Her mane and tail were red, as they have always been, but, her coat was still white and covered with dark yellow strips. Zecora opened her right eye, it was orange, she let out a sigh of relief.

“So far so good.”

Then came the left. While she was sharing the body with Zecora, her left eye had changed from her normal orange to a mixt between blue and a dark cyan. The zebra filly took a deep breath and opened her eye hoping to find that it had returned to her natural color, it did not, but it was also not like before.

“Ooo...” Imamu said bending over to take a closer look at her eye. “Heterochromia, interesting,”

To their surprise Apple Bloom’s eye was still blue, for the most part, in the middle of the iris a little bit of orange returned radiating outward like a miniature sun in a clear blue sky.

“Is she going to be fine,
Even if that eye’s still mine?”

“Hmm... I think it will pass. But we have something else to deal with now.”

“What else is wrong?
Kirabo is still standing strong,
….
But then there is Spike,
His injuries I do not like,
They seem to be great indeed,
But he does not seem to bleed.
His eye we can replace,
And just in case,
For him a new tail,
We can grow without fail.
His wounds will heal,
So that now a big deal.
Then I must acquire,
What pray tell is so dire?”

Imamu was looking at her.

“What? Please tell me,
What is it I cannot see?”

“Well, in case you haven't noticed you are a filly.”

“I am a filly?
Imamu do not be silly,
I am a full grown mare,
…
What’s with that glare?”

“You really cannot see? Okay then, go pick the filly up and lets go and treat Spike.”

Zecora walked over to Apple Bloom with the intention of picking the now unconscious filly up and placing her on her back, but, to her surprise she found that she was roughly the same size as her, if not a little bigger.

“I know you modified the spell and all,
But why Imamu am I so small?” Zecora asked taking the whole turning into a filly thing pretty well.

“As you said I did modify the spell, but I do not know why you are like that.”

Imamu had indeed taken some 'liberties' when casting the spell, but apparently the resulting tweaked version was a lot more different from the original than he had originally thought.

While the ingredients were all present, the manticore venom and the ursa tears being by far the most important, and the magical circle that was required to channel the spells energies was drawn correctly, there were plenty of things that he changed. First, as Apple Bloom told Spike, the ritual should have been performed before the sun went down, since that had proven impossible, Imamu had to improvise. He trapped a few rays of sunshine into a crystal and used them as guidelines, but the truth was that the spell was powered by moonlight and not by sunlight, as originally intended, and while the two celestial bodies seemed very similar when it came to the sort of magic they emitted, they couldn't be more different than... night and day. And secondly, there were those green bolts of lightning that he did account for, those, he thought were the main reason for Zecora’s current form.

“But do not fear, I will make you something and you will be good as new in a week or so.” He paused a large smile crept onto his face. “Unless you want to remain a filly a little longer.”
