The girls were confused.
Twilight had called all her friends to her castle in, "the name of SCIENCE!", as she put it. Now, when Twilight calls all the girls to her castle, they know it means some serious business. They were expecting a monster, a new objective form the map, a world cataclysm, even... an Ice Cream party to liven up the castle some more.
Instead, they got the old mirror portal with various markings and pictographs around it. What appeared to be a bright red five-pointed star in a circle was surrounded by various symbols that, to anybody without an extensive knowledge of ritualistic magicka, would seem completely and utterly random.
And nobody here was a particular expert on ritualistic magicka.
Just as everybody began to wonder just what the heck was going on, a certain purple alicorn, (who, for the porpoises of Antarctica we shall call Twilight Sparkle), walked into the room. Twilight lit up her horn to bring out a little notepad as she started explaining what the heck was going on.
"Girls, I've been running some experiments on the mirror portal, and I think I've finally figured out how it works. With the array set up here, we should be able to access other dimensions of our choosing!"
Everyone oohed and aahed at the prospect as Twilight begun activating the array. Her horn glowed a bright purple as each symbol on the array begun to glow, one after the other. Twilight began a chant.
"Spirito sanctos anno anno mundi, spirito sanctos anno anno mundi, adducam mihi aliam, adducam mihi aliam."
As everybody braced themselves for what may come from the portal in front of them, the mirror began to glow brighter as the glass began to crack. The cracks grew larger and larger, until finally...
*CABOOM*
It exploded.
In it's place was a bipedal creature very similar to the ones Twilight had seen the mirror portal, but this one was much different. The hair colour was a more subdued dark brow, with light, peach-looking skin. It's eyes were smaller and it was much plumper everywhere in comparison to the humans from behind the mirror. It's clothes were much more impersonal as well, with nothing but a white shirt with black pants.
"What is it?"
"I don't know."
"It looks so drab!'
"It looks so scary..."
"He looks fun!"
"It looks mighty strange, whatever it is..."
"Whola e pirr?"
"Hi doe ilt nokiel."
"Pirr lonki o janka!"
"Pirr lonki o skaRalka..."
"JuR lonki faj!"
"Pirr lonki matal galagad, wholkarra..."
'Who and what the hell is that?' you wonder. You hear vaguely feminine voices whisper above you in a strange and unknown language. Coupled with the fact that you are currently in mild amounts of pain, and the fact that your vision is black, and you've got a recipe for disaster.
Or panic.
"Who the hell are you? What's going on?" you question rather loudly as you open your eyes, causing the voices to go quiet.
Looking around yourself, you notice something odd. Surrounding you are six different coloured ponies, with four different kinds. There were two pegasi, two regular ponies, a unicorn, and a... a... ? Uh... I guess Penicorn. You were on the floor, and with these ponies standing over you, you weren't exactly feeling safe.
"Doe oonka spaR Krrashilka?" asks the Penicorn, who appears to be addressing you.
You, being the articulate and eloquent man that you are, you answer in the most sophisticated way possible.
"What?"
"Doe oonka nokiel whola dore oonka til a?"
"I don't speak... whatever it is you're speaking."
There's a short pause in the... conversation, (if you can call it that), and the penicorn looks around her. You notice that about half of the ponies around you look at you with suspicion, whilst the other half with a sort of cautious optimism.
"Goorr's! Yon er yoon?"
The other ponies around the penicorn gave a mix between "yon" and "yoon".
It's around this time when you brain decides, "fuck this, I'm out," and you faint.
"Girls! Good or bad?" asks Twilight to her friends.
Rarity and Fluttershy give unenthusiastic "Good?"'s, whilst Pinkie gives an exceptionally positive "Good!', and Rainbow Dash and Applejack give unenthusiastic "Bad?"'s. Most of the ponies weren't sure what to make of the strange creature Twilight had summoned. It seemed to talk in some unknown language, but they weren't entirely sure. Maybe it was an-
*FWUMP*
It's right about then that everybody noticed that the creature had fainted, from shock or something else, the ponies weren't sure.
"Oh no! This could be bad!" panicked Twilight, "SPIKE! GET A ROOM READY, WE HAVE SOMEPONY WE NEED TO TAKE CARE OF!" Twilights head was racing with possibalitys and scenarios, ranging from 'This alien is playing dead to kill me', to 'This alien is suffocating due to our atmosphere!', and no matter how many thoughts raced around her head, Twilight could find no peace.
"GIRLS! Go get Nurse Redheart! We may need medical attention on this... thing!"
The girls raced off to go find Nurse Redheart, whilst you remained faint.
Spike comes down to tell Twilight the rooms ready, when he sees you. He seems somewhat disturbed at your appearance, but otherwise pushes past it.
"Twilight, the rooms ready!"
"Thank you, Spike. Lead the way."
And with that, Twilight picks you up in her magic and takes you to your new room with Spike leading the way.
And whatever happens next, let's hope it's for the better.
