Day 1, Friday

Magic comes from the body and one is only as strong as the other. To truly master ones mind
and therefore magic they must also master their blood, breath and heartbeat. Starswirl the

Sunset Shimmer had to hold down the urge to vomit and she breathed in deeply attempting to stop her
stomach contents from remerging. The trip through The Mirror had been an incredibly upsetting
experience that had felt like her head was filled with insects but what she now saw was about to push
her over the edge. Its repulsive and inelegant form was barely visible in the nighttime reflection of The
Statue that she had tumbled out from, it was very familiar shade of orange and with a set of purple
garments that covered about half its body. Its limps were long and thinner and its proportions seemed
to be completely skewed and abnormal. While the thing was hideous what pained her the most was the
fact that is undoubtedly her reflection.

After nearly ten minutes of dry heaving and hyper ventilation Sunset was able to regain her composer
and think clearly. She tried to stand but found it awkward walking on all fours the way she was used to.
Instead she closed her eyes and let her mind expand, her magical training had prepared her for dealing
with all sorts of mental and physical traumas and stress. As she relaxed she found her body moving
slowly of its own accord to a state that seemed much more natural. She was aware that this body
seemed more adapt at walking on its back legs and she could feel that her center of gravity and body
structure were radically different. In her old body she could have held this position for a few seconds
maybe a minute if she needed to but something about the way her back seemed to rest made it easily to
stand upright.

Sunset took another deep breath and tried to relax further by spreading her magic throughout her body,
but she immediately found that something was horrible wrong. Her horn was gone and she frantically
began fiddling with her hair trying to locate something, anything. She was horrifyingly disappointed as a
sudden sense of dread and regret cascaded over her. She felt like she was drowning and as her mind
thought more and more about the lost appendage she imagined that she could still feel it there as a
phantom limp. It was as if her own heart had been missing and she felt a crushing emptiness descend
over her.

In due course this horror of transformative dismemberment passed and Sunset Shimmer was able to
regain control of her body and nerves. She steeled herself by thinking about the purpose she now had.
She had proven herself the most powerful and intelligent of Celesitas students time and time again, and
when Celestial had shown here the mirror she knew it was the key to gaining power beyond her wildest
dreams. Yet for some reason her teacher seemed intent on deny her access to its secrets. Well now she
was here, after demanding the princesshood she rightfully deserved Celestia in her foolishness tried to
cast her out but she fought through the castle and fled to here. Where ever here was.

She began a slow and cumbersome walk towards the building in front of her marked Canterlot High
School. As she took tentative and tested steps learning more about her new bodies muscle movements
she thought about that name and wondered about the impossibilities of it being a mere coincidence. As
she approached the building she practiced increasing her pace and began moving her fingers trying to
get accustomed to the new type of dexterity in her limbs. When she eventually reached the front door
she gave it a gentle prod with one of her new appendages and was surprised at how much more
complex it was compared to her previous body. She fumbled with the door for several minutes before
deducing that it was locked, however the similarities that the name present dissuaded her from simply
looking elsewhere.

Instead she began searching the school for another opening and after walking the entire perimeter of
the building she could find none, there were a few extra doors but they were all lock and none of the
windows were open. Her search and constant use of her new body was exhausting and it forced her to
sit down and rest against one of the brick walls. She cursed in anger and frustration at the situation,
Damn that pompous, ungrateful, mule of a princess she spat as a sneer crept across her face. She
looked down at her hand which had curled up into a balled fist and felt a sudden rush of emotion from
it, there was something natural about the gesture that filled Sunset shimmer with a small amount of
glee and realization. She stood and turned around finding a window at ground level that she could reach
and then a sizeable rock. It was a cumbersome and inelegant task as she dropped the rock frequently
and had to struggle to guess its weight, eventual though she was able to hold with a reasonable amount
of skill and after analyzing the window she was confident in her ability to perform this simple task.

However her confidence was misplaced and she completely missed the glass on her first throw, it wasnt
until her failed throw tenth that she decided to get closer to the window where she attempted once
again to gain entrance. Her body was weak however, it felt like her every nerve was on fire and her veins
were pupping acid but the thought of revenge drove her on. It took nearly a dozen blows before she had
adequately broken the window and when she enter she found herself standing in a large open room
with a high ceiling and strange marking on the floor. After taking a few steps she nearly fell over as the
center of the floor was slick and caught her slightly off guard. However she maintained her balance an
act which she internally celebrated.

Sunset peered around the room with a mixture of suspicion and intrigue, she recognized much of what
she saw but other thing eluded her. From what she surmised it was sports arena of sorts yet beyond
that it was a mystery. She was tired however and in no mode to continue exploring, instead began
looking around the room and soon came upon a small room that was both unlocked and empty. Judging
from its lack of contents Sunset concluded that it was an unused storage room and she promptly passed
out on the floor.



Day 2 Saturday
o Knowledge is a volatile thing. It is our greatest savior and our greatest curse. At its core
learning opens doors to places and things we were previously ignorant. However there
are some things which we are ignorant of at birth for a purpose and which it is
important we remain ignorant of. Princess Celestia
Sunset Shimmer awoke in the afternoon with trances of pain still flowing through her body
as aches from last nights exploits returned. It was this sensation more than anything else
that helped her stay awake and alert. She began by quickly inspecting the area around her
and taking note of her new living arrangements. It was a small room with a few pieces of
trash as well bits and pieces of paper and wooden objects but for the most part was
completely empty and judging by the thin layer of dust not often used which suited her just
fine. During her search she found the door had a strange lock of some kind which after
playing with for several seconds she figured out its exact function, her new hands were still
cumbersome and they felt stiff and inflexible whenever she tried to use them.

After familiarizing herself with her surroundings she began
