You get all excited and now feel fully awake.

A transformation spell that worked! you proclaim loudly.

You hop and skip around your room, the thick soft carpet pads your high jump. You might be the most powerful magician in King Mackee's lands but you still have some magical learning to do, being such an intolerable student in wizard school years ago.

Plus, turning humans into animals has always been your favorite kind of spell but you're also kind of terrible at it. One time you were so angry at the royal architect for not designing your office large enough for your supplies and ego, you swiftly tried to turn him into a goat. Unfortunately he turned into a twenty-foot goat who chewed on your leg. You had to turn him back quickly to a human before he ate half of you! To this day the royal architect hasn't forgiven you for finding his human self teething on your dirty toes. It might be the reason your newly decorated bedroom is in bright pink and orange.

The pony is adorable. He gives another jump with a small back kick that knocks over a chair.

What a cute pet you'd make, Dexter you pat him on his chubby head.

You take your wand, utter some magic words and, a poof and a loud boom, there's a small mound of hay beneath your feet.

You give some to the pony. He shakes his head vigorously.

Come on, it's breakfast you scold him. The hay does look weirdly purple and smell like gunpowder but you insist he eats it nonetheless.

Before you can attempt to feed Dexter again, he makes a dash for the door. Is it your still sleepy brain or did it look like his hooves were off the ground?

You run out of your bedroom into the long hallway that leads to the main stairs. The pony is nowhere in sight. He must have run downstairs. You call out for him and run to the main castle's entrance. No pony in sight!

You keep on calling and calling for Dexter. The other members of the court stare at you in bewilderment. After looking all over the palace for a full hour, including the grounds and gardens, one of the guards tell you he too saw a pony. It was running to the dark woods past the castle's grounds, he informs.

You have to finally confess it was Dexter. All of the king's guards and yourself look for the pony for the whole day. He is never found.

The king is so furious you caused his royal chef to disappear. No one but Dexter knew the king's favorite dish of mushrooms, geese and pickles. You are banished from the kingdom forever and move out of your luxurious home to a poor magician's community. You are surrounded by amateur spell-casters but maybe this is exactly where you belong.

THE END
