Crap. I looked around the room to see if there was an escape route I could use. I had almost no magic, so I couldn't teleport, even though I had memorized the spell.
I look to the back door, but there were already guards outside of it. I would have to find a source of magic, or this was it for me. Images of being dissected by unicorns in an underground lab flashed through my head.
I noticed an odd magic appear just then. I thought it odd, that I hadn't noticed it but I shrugged that off in favor of finding an escape route.
After finding the source of magic, I noted its odd - yet awesome - appearance, it was a black and red amulet, with a red jewel set in a steel triangle underneath a depiction of a red-eyed Unicorn with wings.
I hurriedly siphoned its magic as a last resort, - noticing the guards ramming down the door - and shoved the amulet in my pocket, setting my face into a look of determination.
I attempted a teleportation spell with the magic in the amulet, and felt something like a dark veil fall over my mind as I closed my glowing red eyes tightly shut.
opening my eyes, I found that I had teleported myself on top of the magic shop, with guards all around me on the ground. I quickly dropped to the roof of the shop and pressed myself against it, hoping they hadn't seen me.
"There Sh- It? is..." I heard a confused voice state above me, I quickly turned over and looked at the source, a grey Pegasus with bat-wings. Her amber eyes - it was hard to tell the color with my vision tinted red - went wide, and she yelled:"Its up here! Its can teleport!"
"What do you mean it? Holy Celestia!" A unicorn had levitated himself to the roof. I felt an intense hate for the Pegasus who had alerted the others wash over my brain. Some sort of spell hit me, and I worriedly jumped to my feet, not letting go of the magic the unicorn had cast on me. the magic stuck to me for a second, but it was soon absorbed into my own reserves.
"It got rid of the tracking spell! Its stealing my magic!" another unicorn yelled.
"My name - is Zachary Hoskins."I whispered as a dark smile came upon my face. I threw a huge fireball at the Ponies, with the magic from the amulet.
I stopped completely.
I Shook my head wildly, a terrified expression coming to my face and teleported back into the sewers I arrived in, before I could hear the screams.
I hit the ground running, still shaking my head.
Frantically, I forced the evil magic from the amulet out of my body, and continued running through the nastiness, until I hit a dead end. I stopped, and slumped against the sewer wall, crying.
"Only a few hours in ponyland, and I've already injured a bunch of fairy tales! I might have killed them... I teleported away before I could see. This evil amulet compelled me to. it allows me to use magic without a unicorn, but at what cost?" I took the amulet from my pocket and carressed it with my hand.
I felt compelled to wear it. It just felt like I should, although in my mind I knew I should throw it into the sewer water and leave it there. I had come into possession of an addictive, powerful magical artifact, mere hours after learning my first spell.
After a couple hours of moping, I got up and decided to try and find a way out of the city.
With a completely unnecessary snap of my fingers, I teleported to the surface, looking around I noticed it was almost dawn. That meant I had been up for hours, counting the time before I'd come to horse land.
So why wasn't I tired? is it because of the magic? it could be, but I didn't have any magic in me at the time... maybe there was some sort of ambient magic? At the moment however that question was un-important.
Stepping up on top of a hill I looked over the city. "Fancy Cheese shop... Fancy restaurant... Fancy train Station... Fancy clothes shop... ponies don't even wear clothes... A train station!" I jumped up and started running towards it, then stopped myself. If I continued like this I would be caught.
I ran my hand over the amulet in my pocket, and closed my eyes, resisting its temptation. I walked into the city, keeping to the shadows. I walked into an alley, and peeked in a window. Bingo. Through the window, there was a Unicorn, She was asleep, so I could try something I had been thinking about. I slid the window open and climbed through it to the bed.
Approaching the sleeping Unicorn, I manifested the last of my magic into a tiny sphere of light, and put it in her horn. the white aura of liht I had put in her horn turned golden-blue and I began absorbing it, tendrils of magic lapped at my skin and I smiled, in another bout of magic-induced mania.
"AHHHHHHH!" I turned to see a Pegasus pony in a french maid outfit drop a breakfast tray, screaming at the top of her lungs. I snapped my head towards the bed, and saw the Unicorn gawking at me with eyes as wide as saucers.
"CALL THE GUARDS! GUARDS GUARDS!" The pony that still lay in the bed yelled. A worried look came on my face, and I sprinted towards the window. The Unicorn slammed it shut with magic, and I did something really stupid. I jumped through the window, cutting my skin and sending glass down the alley.
I ran down the street, blue-collar ponies jumping back, and yelping at my sudden, and threatening appearance. I began to run to the train station. I saw guards chasing me with determined expressions on their faces.
'Crap... Maybe I can convince them to let me go?' I said. In hindsight I should have just used a teleportation spell, and hidden in the train until it left, but instead I did one of the stupidest things I could.
I stopped, stumbling slightly, and turned to face the guards. "I WAS POSSESSED! I DIDN'T MEAN TO HURT ANYONE!" I immediately regretted that, and was trapped in a magically conjured cage, as I blacked out.
