A frostbitten tale
Chapter 1
At the time of the Canterlot Wedding there was an averaged sized stallion, brown in colour, blue in the eyes, named Cyrus. He was a distant and shy pony who was just coming of age with a lot of things on his mind. He had no plan for the future, no money, no friends and quite little education. He had no idea how to get himself a job, he didn't even know how to be socially acceptable. The only thing he had of any value was his ailing father Alvor, seeing as his mother died from diamond dogs.
Cyrus didn't have much moral courage either. Being tricked into doing things others would've said no to and then getting in trouble for it. Cyrus was doomed to live a very sad and unfulfilled life until he met a unicorn who was of similar age and practicing in his use of magic. Cyrus thought about it for a second and saw the chance the chance to try and make a new friend.
He walked over to the anxious looking pony and, trying to sound as polite as possible, said, "Excuse me, but may I ask what it is you're doing?" The unicorn, without making eye contact, said in a frantic tone, "I'm trying to figure out this teleportation spell!". Cyrus was startled a bit by the unicorns harshness in tone. "W-would you like a bit of help?"
"What does it look like, of course I need…" the unicorn paused after seeing Cyrus start to back away. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have yelled. I need to perfect this spell if I'm… to pass my exams and I got a little too excited. Yes thank you I could gladly use the help" said the unicorn, now much calmer. Cyrus was a little more relaxed now and queried, "I didn't know there were unicorn magic exams"
After very slight hesitation the unicorn said "They were only just brought out recently." Cyrus decided to just go along with to try and befriend the unicorn and proceeded to ask, "So what exactly do you need help with?". the unicorn then provided a very long answer, "Well you see, most teleportation spells are only meant for short distances. Say between one town and another. This particular spell is meant for much much greater distances. And not within the same plane either" Cyrus continued to nod even though he had no idea what the unicorn was talking about. "All I need is to test it on one pony, and then I'll get a guaranteed pass on my exam." the unicorn finished in quite a proud tone, which managed to convince Cyrus. "So, are you willing to be my test subject?" asked the unicorn in an almost rhetorical sense (which was unnoticed by Cyrus).
Cyrus replied with, "well… if it will help you pass your exam."
"Great!" said the unicorn, "You have no idea how much this is helping me. Now if you'll just stand over there" gestured the unicorn, "Ill cast the spell at you. Prepare yourself." Cyrus did as he was asked and turned to face the unicorn.
"So where am I going" asked Cyrus.
"Oh I think you'll like it" replied the Unicorn, "It's a wonderful place called Mundus."
