A/N: Hello. As you'll notice sooner or later, this is a special request for Misaki. And I've been late for posting it, but since it is one episode, I usually post about 2-4 chapters per episode depending on how many commercial breaks each episode has. It may not seem different now, but things will definitely change eventually. Don't worry. There still will be a happy ending. Anyway, there it is. :)
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
"Magic Duel"
Chapter 1
One rainy night, a hooded mare galloped into an empty marketplace and entered a darkened curio shop before she began to rummage around the shop until a small candle was lit. A stallion, who is the shopkeeper, came out and spoke up, stepping behind the counter.
The cloaked mare pointed to an amulet inlaid with a crimson gem kept under glass on the shelf behind him.
"May I help you, traveler? Hmm, something drew you to my shop... something powerful. Ah, you have a keen eye. The Alicorn Amulet is one of the most mysterious and powerful of all the known magical charms.", the shopkeeper stated before the hooded mare indicated that this is what she's looking for.
"Uh, ah— I'm afraid this is... far too dangerous.", the shopkeeper warned before the mare tossed a big bag of gold bits onto the counter.
"Would you like that gift-wrapped?", the shopkeeper asked.
The mare then walked slowly to the amulet and gave an evil smile, which was reflected onto the glass dome.
