My little Luna: Power of the Lunar Arch-Mage

There is a knock at the door so I open the door to see Feather Touch there levitating the tea I asked for, as well as some small bakery goods. I step aside, allowing her entrance. She walks up to a table, and sets down the tray. She then pours two cups and sets them on oppossite sides of the table.

"Sir, how do you like your tea?" I look at Feather and say," Please Ms.Touch, call me by my name. I hate it when others call me sir, makes me feel old. Also I like my tea with a tablespoon of honey, with a bit of cream." She nods and continues her work. Once she is done, we both sit down and take a sip of our tea.

"You were right, Jasmine tea is delicious." says Feather, looking at her tea in wonder.

"I know it is, it was also very exspensive were I come from, for it only grew in a very hard to find climate." I tell her with a smile. I pick a muffin up off of the tray, and split it open. I butter the inside of the muffin and take a bite.

"Mmm, the cooks here know what they're doing. This is the best muffin I've had in years." I say as I set the muffin down. I then stand and walk over to a nearby window. I look out opon the new world I was in and sigh. I then take off my Lunar mage robe, and hang it on a post of my bed. I then take a look at the archmage symbols drawn over my entire body, except for my face of coarse.

"If I'm not asking to much, what are those markings on your arms?" asks Feather.

"These are the symbols of an archmage. I earned these when I mastered the art of Lunar magic." I tell her as I walk back over to the table and sit back down.

"Is there a reason behind them?"

"Three acually. The first is just to show that I'm Archmage. The second is a power enhacment, they boost my power fifty fold. Third, is that it is a tradition."

"How are they a power enhancement?"

"It is easier to show you." I say as I ready what is left of my stores. I channel my magic into my arms, through my hands, and into a ball of shadow that hovers above my hands by a couple inches. I then notice my markings start to glow and make the ball larger. I absorb the magic back into my stores with a sigh, and look at Feather.

I take another bite of my muffin as I wait for her to say something. She never does.

"I didn't ever think I would amaze someone ever again." I say as I finish my muffin.

"How...I... can you teach me the ways of your magic?" She asks. I raise one of my eyebrows.

"You don't even know me that well, yet you ask a complete stranger to teach you the ways of one of the most dangerous magics of all?" I ask Feather. She nods her head. I chuckle and say, " Well, thats the first time anyone has said that. Usually nobody would even say that. Truth be told Lunar magic is very easy to learn. I will train you, if you are willing to help me in return, outside of your duties." I tell her with a smirk.

"What do you need help with?" She asks.

"I need help with a spell tonight." I say as my smile turns to a grin.

"Of coarse I'll help... What does the spell do?"

"Well I'm not as powerfull as I use to be, hence the spell I will be preforming tonight. The spell I am going to use is a spell to restore my youth. I was fourteen when I cast the legendary spell. That was when I was at my maximun potential. Ever since then I have lost powers I never wanted to loose. This spell also slows my aging process down to about ten percent of my natural aging speed."

"Oh my, age spells are some of the most advanced magic here. Even the princesses can bairly use age spells." I just raise my eyebrows and drink some of my tea.

"Well all I'm going to need you to do is to help me gather magic from this worlds moon."

"Oh, ok I can do that, with a little instruction." I smile and finish my tea. I look back out the window and see that it is almost sunset. I get another knock on my door. I walk over and open said door.

"Yes?" I ask to a gaurd pony.

"Princess Celestia has asked to see you." said the gaurd.

"I'll be there in a few minutes." I reply. The gaurd nods and walks off. I close the door and head back to the table to get my robe. I pull the robe on and walk back to the door. Before I left, I turned to Feather Touch and said, "Be prepared to help me at midnight, my aprentice." She nods so I step out side of the doorway and follow a gaurd to the princess.

I enter a grand doorway to see Celestia glaring at me. I sigh and ask, "What did I do this time?"

"Well first, you didn't teach Luna how to raise ,and lower, the moon. Second, I am drained from our... Disagreement so I can't lower the sun. I have asked for your presence to see if you could do our duties for us tonight." says Celestia. I just raise an eyebrow.

"The reason Luna can't raise and lower the moon is because she never had to in my world. I am also drained by our battle and need the moon to be in the sky if I am going to replenish any of my magic. If I was seventeen years younger I could do what you ask of me in a heartbeat." I tell the Princess. just then Luna walks into the room me and Celestia were in.

"Father, I still have plenty of magic. I could lend you my magic for you to do this task." says Luna as she takes a seat next to me.

"Yet I can't controll your magic, remember what happened the first time we tried this?"

"Yes, but we are in a different world. You might be able to now." I think about this for a few minutes, coming up with the solid solution of what the people of my world would say. Something along the lines of 'YOLO.'

I sigh and say, "Fine but this is only to be a skill we use in an emergency after this."

Celestia nods and says, "Very well, let us head to the highest balcony." We all stand and make our way out of the room. Followed by gaurds, probably to make sure I don't do anything, we made our way up quite a few flights of stairs.

Once we reach the top, I was wishing to never do this again, ever.

"My body is to old for this crap." I mutter under my breath. I catch my breath, and stand at my full height. I take what little magic I have left to summon my stave. The moon crystals were all drained, and were completely black. I hold the stave in my right hand, as I hold my left out to Luna.

I nod and she fires her magic at me, I begin to absorb it. My stave is storing magic first, told by the moon crystals slowly lighting back up. The last crystal on my stave was glowing a pure white, so I switched the flow to my own stores easily. This is where it always became dangerous in the past. I already knew that I probably wouldn't be able to control the power of an alicorn, but continued anways.

Pain started to form in my tantien as it tried it's best to absorb the new type of magic. I then cry out in pain as my tantien reached full and rejected the rest of the magic, making it fill my life force. I continued crying out untill I was back to my teenage self. I then start to ignore the pain as I continued to absorb more and more. My stores of my teenage body were immensely larger then my thirty year old body's. I continued to absorb more and more untill I felt the pain starting to return. That was when I nodded my head for Luna to stop.

She stopped, and I threw off my robe, preparing to release the magic I had in a briliant display of power that I had only done once before. I twirl my stave around in a tight circle before slamming the end into the floor. My spell diagram floated above the ground before it shot a beam towards both horizons. One beam was a golden color, and it was flying straight at the sun. The other was a pure silver, it was flying to the east horizon, where the moon was barely peaking over the edge of said horizon. I felt the beams contact the celestial bodies. I started to rotate my stave in a very slow clock-wise turn. The sun and moon were pain stakingly slow in lowering and raising.

My stores were draining faster then they ever had before. I put more physical strength into rotating my stave, but it barely sped up. My personal stores were gone, the sun was almost set, but the moon was only halve way over the eastern horizon. When the sun set completely the golden beam returned to my stave, and bringing the moon into the sky was a little easier. I added more strength into rotating my stave. The moon was three quarter over the horizon. I watched as each moon crystal stated to dim down completely. The moon was almost over the horizon, so I poured what was left of my strength into bringing the moon up.

The moon then cleared the horizon, just in time with my crystals, foe they were completely drained. I fell to my knees breathing hard as my age returned to me. Once I was thirty one, again, I rose to my feet, leaning heavily on my stave for support. I was breathing very hard, for the task I had just acomplished was suppose to be immpossible. I then felt my strenght being replenished as the moon fed magic into me.

I had enough strenght to walk on my own so I bannished my stave back to my room.

"Good night Celestia. Goodnight my dear daughter." I say as I start walking back to my room.
