Mythic Spell, the Mage-in-training
CH.I The Arrival
Load Full StoryNext ChapterAs the train pulls into the station, Mythic puts the bookmark on the page he was reading of "controlling magic for dummies". He stands up and levitates his saddlebags onto his back, sighing in Boredom.
"I really hope what that "Doctor" told me was true about Twilight Sparkle helping me." Mythic said absent-mindedly.
After getting off the train, Mythic tips six bits to the conductor out of apology. The conductor had to spend the whole ride trying to repair some seats Mythic accidently destroyed in his sleep. Mythic Spell is a male unicorn pony who has a vast amount of talent in magic, but has barely any control while awake. That is the exact reason Mythic decided to come to ponyville. A strange stallion who called himself "The Doctor" told him that there is a unicorn mare named Twilight Sparkle in a town called Ponyville that will be able to help him learn control.
While pondering all of what The Doctor said, Mythic failed to notice a certain pink pony appear in front of him.
"Hi there! My name is Pinkie Pie, but you can call me Pinkie!" the disturbingly sneaky pony named Pinkie Pie said.
"Gah! Where the hay did you come from!?! wait, ignore that, I was lost in thought. It's nice to meet you Pinkie. My name is Mythic Spell." Mythic replied, a little surprised at his own obliviousness.
"So, what all is there to do in Ponyville?" Mythic decides to ask.
Pinkie replies "Well it depends, what do you like to do?"
After some thought, Mythic decided to say "Well, most of the time, I sit in my current town or city's library trying to increase my control over magic. But I also like to hang out with anypony who wants to be friends with me...I have to admit, I'm a little anti-social, I don't mind being around others, but i don't feel comfortable in big groups, usually groups of ten or more."
Pinkie give Mythic a shocked look before saying "You sound a bit like lime Twilight! Only she's a bit more social than you apparently, but that's probably because she's Princess Celestia's Student."
After Pinkie said that, Mythic stopped walking for half a second. realizing his pause, he sped up his pace to catch up to Pinkie.
As the two leave the station, Mythic asks "Hey, Pinkie? Can you show me around town? I don't think getting lost will help my already low social skills."
To which the hyper mare replies " Okie-Dokie-Lokie! But you don't seem as uncomfortable as you said you were."
Mythic chuckled a bit at that. As he notices Pinkie staring at him, he says "Well, that's because, for some unknown reason, I find it easier to talk to you that to most ponies."
Pinkie shrugs and says "Well use that feeling to get past your shyness, silly!"
Mythic nods at the solid sounding advice as the two continue the tour of Ponyville. After Pinkie shows Mythic the Sugar Cube Corner, Town Hall, two restaurants, and the furniture store, they arrive at the town library.
"And here is the Library, Twilight lives and works here with Spike."
Mythic, who was one who was always full of questions, asked "Spike? Like, a draconic assistant?"
Pinkie looks at him and says "How did you know that? Did you read this story before?!" Then she proceeds to look up and yell " WHY DID YOU DO IT, DACHANDE! "
"Actually no, I didn't read this befo~ wait, what?" Mythic starts to reply.
"Don't mind her, that's just Pinkie being Pinkie." chimed in a new voice.
Mythic turned around to look at the owner of the new voice and sees a violet unicorn mare with a blue mane/tail that have pink and purple highlights. Her eyes were a light purple color and her Cutie Mark resembles a pink six-pointed star surrounded by five smaller white stars.
"O...Kay then, I'll take your word for it." Mythic holds out his hoof and says "It's nice to meet you, my name is Mythic Spell."
The unicorn then grabs his hoof with her own and replies " Hello Mythic Spell, I am Twilight Sparkle." At that moment, Mythic gets surrounded by a blueish-gray magical aura. Before Mythic gets to ask what was going on, the ground decided it wanted a hug, followed by the library's outer wall.
As Mythic slips into unconsciousness, he says "Well, I guess i deserved that. Broken nose, and a concussion, thanks...Lyra."
As Mythic Starts to wake up, a sharp pain goes through his head. Realizing it's his concussion, he starts so sit up, cringing in pain. "well, at least my nose isn't broken anymore, but i think i still have a concussion." he says with a hint of sarcasm. He decides to look around the hospital room he was in, trying to find any hint of him accidently transforming something while he was out cold. He looks over at a chair, or rather, a pinball machine. "I'm kinda surprised i didn't hurt anypony this time."
"No, but you did take quite a beating against the ground and library." Twilight replies as she walks in. After twilight enters, she is followed by Pinkie and a Cyan pegasus mare with a rainbow colored mane.
Realizing the pegasus must be one of their friends, Mythic says "niice, I think the ground and the library both wanted hugs, so i had to oblige. though, I'm pretty sure Lyra wanted to help too. Am I right, Lyra?" As Mythic finishes talking, Lyra Heartstrings walks in.
Lyra replies to Mythic's sarcastic comment with " Hey, you had it coming after you fractured my hip when we were younger." Twilight, Pinkie, and the cyan mare, who Mythic overheard Pinkie calling her "Dashie" all looked at him with a pretty scary glare.
"Hey, it wasn't my fault I was allergic to school work. Also, that was a long time ago, I have more control over my talent now, but it's still not enough to stop my unconscious mind from changing things into random objects." Lyra just glares at Mythic, and turns to leave, but before she does Mythic says "I'm sorry that happened. Back then, I was barely able to lift a quill an inch with magic without nearly sending it through a solid chunk of Iron." Lyra hesitates a moment before continuing out the doorway. As she leaves mythic sighs and tries to explain that day to Twilight, Pinkie, and "Dashie".
