Human magic

Chapter 1

"But when shall we see you again?" said a gray unicorn mare to a human, in front of a wardrobe in a castle in some mountains.

"You probably won't... If the spell succeeds, then the rift that's destroying our worlds will be closed for good... And then all we'll have are our memories... I'm sorry, Silverflight... But the longer we wait, the more unstable our worlds become." the human said, pain and loss clear in his voice.

"But you're the best magician the humans ever saw, Merlin! I won't let you leave!" Silverflight said, wrapping her hooves around his leg. "And besides, the last pony to go to Earth was transformed into a human wasn't it? And then when they came back, they were a pony again..."

"Yes, but... Silverflight, your daughters need you here. And besides, Earth has more monsters than your books could ever hold... And most of them don't care about your status or how good you are with a blade..." Merlin said, starting to doubt his own argument.

"Then I guess I'll have to survive like you did." Silverflight said, and then bolted from his leg through the closet.

"Damn mare..." He mumbled under his breath and then cast a spell that sent him flying through the closet to Earth.

Centuries later a 19 year old human movie aide by the name of Alfred Whitehill stumbled across a clean and vine free wardrobe in the middle of some ruins in some forest near his house. His blue jeans and sneakers have saved his legs and feet from all the nettle he had to walk through to get to the ruins. His leather jacket saved his arms and lucky shirt more than once on his hikes into the forest, and his black backpack held the majority of his necessities to make the trip, trail mix, bottles of water and his homemade tea, a fire starter set, and various hygiene things.

The fact that it was a perfectly clean wardrobe was what really had his attention, not the strange runes etched into the side of it. And matching runes on the ground around it that were easily visible.

"Who put this here if they were going to go through the trouble of keeping it clean...?" He asked out loud, then reached up to touch the wardrobe. But as he did, the runes glowed brightly, and the seal that kept the fabric of reality there from unraveling, loosened. And the wardrobe opened slightly.

Huh? Why'd it open suddenly? Alfred thought. Well, might as well see what they were trying to hide... And with that he reached for the handle, only to have the doors fly open and a boy around the age 20 flew out of it and into him.

"Ow... Hey! Watch where you're standing! Do you even know who I am?" the boy said, getting furious at Alfred. The boy seemed to have a snaggletooth, and his eyes were oddly colored. They were yellow like he's been drinking a lot, while the iris's were red. And one iris was oddly bigger than the other. He was also wearing some very odd clothing.

"Um... Who are you, and why are your eyes jaundiced?" Alfred asked, trying to focus on his face, and nothing else.

"What! How can you not know who I am? I am the spirit of chaos! The king of mayhem! I am Discord!" said the boy, slowly starting to float upwards.

Alfred just stared as his jaw fell open from the shock of what he was seeing. The boy was floating... And it wasn't a trick with some wires. Alfred knew this because he knew how to see the wires. Even in movies, he could tell when they switched the real person with a dummy, or when they used small wires to make it look like the person got flung really far. Even more so when he was one of the people that helped pull the stunt off.

"H... How are you doing that...?" He finally asked, when he found his voice.

"What do you mean? Isn't this something all you... um... What ARE you anyway?" the boy asked.

"I'm... I'm a human... But... Where'd you come from? And who put you here?" Alfred asked in return.

"What do you mean? That wasn't a Teleportation Link spell on the Wardrobe?"

"No... Maybe...? I don't know... Wait... Spell? Like magic?" Alfred asked in disbelief.

"But of course my... Boy? Yes, that seems appropriate. Have you never seen or used magic before?"

"Not especially..." Alfred got up and started moving toward the wardrobe again. "So, let's say magic is real, where would this send me?" Alfred asked, still slightly disbelieving the boy that claimed to be called Discord.

"Why, to Equestria, my boy! The land where all creatures are accepted equally!" the boy replied with much enthusiasm, even flying down and elongating to encircle Alfred.

"And where is that? Russia? Germany? Heck, Japan? Wait no. Japan's to poor to pull something like this off, China?" Alfred asked, rattling off other various countries and states as they came to his mind.

"UGH! You are so much like Pinkie Pie! Just go through and see for yourself!" And with that, the boy shoved Alfred into the wardrobe.

As Alfred stumbled into the wardrobe, he felt himself brush against one set of moth eaten clothes... and then another... And then he fell to the ground and instantly felt his heart accelerate.

"Wha...?" He said, breathlessly.

"That is magic coursing through your veins, Alfred." said a very strange and scary creature that floated out of the wardrobe.

Author's Note:

This is the remake of the story I was trying to write earlier. I got this inspiration from this music vid. And a story by TimesX, Heaven's Gift.
No hate on Japan! They have great anime and manga...

I'm saying like like the story but I know almost nothing about the mane character. Unless this is a self insert story.

7065162 It was an attempt to use the Camelot/Canterlot similarity to bring humans back to magic... Really dumb idea...
