Life Among the Wires.

         My mother and I arrived at the castle. Luna passed us as we walked in paying no mind to us at all. I saw Celestia in a hallway and pointed my mother to her. We got closer and I just spoke up.

“Celestia we need to talk,” I said still with my mother supporting me.

“Tech you’re hurt,” she said. “Wouldn’t it be better for you to rest?”

“My physical condition is part of the talk we’re going to have,” I said in return.

She stood silent and then cleared her throat. “Very well, what do you need to talk about?”

“Gransion and myself,” I put a hoof to my head. I got a sudden headache.

“Are you sure you can do this?” My mother asked.

“Please mom I can handle this,” I said frustrated. “Lets start with myself. Gransion came to my mothers house earlier and claimed to have killed my father. My magic began to go completely crazy, do you have an explanation for this cause it wasn’t in that book I read.”

Celestia’s eyes actually widened which surprised me. “I knew we didn’t cover everything in that book,” she let out a sigh. “Your magic is a very special type of magic. It’s hard to explain so I’ll try to keep it simple. You have a lot of magic inside of you Tech and when I say a lot I mean a lot. However your calm nature keeps it all suppressed.”

“So what you’re saying is?” I ask.

“You were about to have a magical overload due to your emotions,” she replied. “The reason being, your emotions. You were both angered and sad that your father was claimed to be killed.”

“Have I had this magic in me my whole life and past lives?” I ask.

“Actually this is the second time I’ve seen it out of you,” she said. “That’s why I am surprised. I didn’t expect this magic to be transferred back to your body again, me and Starswirl made sure of that.”

“You actually tried to prevent this….why?” I wondered.

“It’s dangerous Tech, very very dangerous,” she replied. “This magic is something that me and Starswirl had never seen before when it happened the first time. It can be uncontrollable and if it’s aggravated the wrong way...you could destroy something big.”

“What do you mean?” I asked.

“I’d rather not say to be honest,” she replied. “It would put you for a spin and you would be scared to get angry. We don’t want that now do we?”

“I’m already in a spin at this point and I don’t understand anything right now!” I said angered. “What does Gransion even have to do with me anyways why don’t you stop him so I can go back to normal?!”

“Tech calm down,” my mother said.

“I’m not going to calm down,” I returned. “I don’t want to be apart of this nonsense that I shouldn’t have to be apart of! On top of that, Celestia why am I the only one who can stop him anyways? You and Luna are both alicorns so how about you stop him and stop dragging me and my family into your business!”

Celestia took me by her magic and got me face to face with her. “Tech, look me straight in the eyes right now. Don’t say a word, don’t move, and don’t interrupt me. Your needed because of your magical capabilities. That’s what stopped Gransion in the past. Those three victories were by the same Tech that had these powers. Me, Luna, and even Starswirl were barely a match for him. Your past self came around and helped defeat him like a breeze.”

She dropped me to the ground. “Do you now understand why you are needed?”

“Yes ma’am…” I said struggling to get back to hooves. My mother ran to my side and supported me.

“All we know is that the magic you have can’t just be mastered by training,” Celestia said. “It comes naturally but it needs something to make it master.”

I thought to myself while she was talking. “Wait….if it’s the same Tech that defeated Gransion three times….that means that Tech lived for one hundred and twenty years or more even.”

“To answer that, we saw to it so that would be the case,” Celestia replied. “He was literally our only hope then, since Luna and I didn’t have much power and capabilities as we do now.”

“There’s a lot of spells you know for keeping a pony alive,” I said. “How come you know so much?”

“They are forbidden spells Tech and only my sister and I know them as well as Starswirl,” Celestia answered.

I stared at her for a second not saying a word. She pretty much answered all of my questions and now it makes sense why Gransion doesn’t want me in the way. She kept reviving me into a new body as a precaution, but Gransion never attacked until now. Though I still don’t understand Gransions reason for attacking so late into the future. I pretty much know what I have to do now.

“Alright mother let us leave,” I said.

“You sure honey?” My mother asked.

“Yes….I’m positive….thank you Celestia,” I said looking toward her.

“No problem at all Tech. You can use the room I made you use when you stayed here last time,” she smiled and soon walked away.

I kept a straight face as she walked away. My mood was nothing...purely no emotion at all. I gestured for my mom to go to that “room” she told us to go to. My mom knew exactly where to go. I stayed in this room that were heading to when Celestia and Luna were helping me with my magic. When I was a small colt my magic was sporadic I guess you could say. I couldn’t control it very well and now I know why. I didn’t expect to have enough magic in me to destroy something “big” as Celestia would say. However this explains why I’m on good terms with the princesses.

My mother brought me into the room and placed me on the bed. She smiled and began to leave the room. “Mom where are you going?” I asked.

“I forgot your box of broken parts,” she laughed nervously.

“Mmm I see well go get them,” I layed my head down and she left the room closing the door behind her. I looked at the ceiling and closed my eyes. I wasn’t thinking about anything, I wasn’t wanting to go home and get back to my normal life, I didn’t even want to put Gransion on my head. All I was doing was laying there. It was weird to me because usually I’m freaking out about something or thinking about something, but now I just didn’t care. I  just came to the realization that this is my life.

As I was about to drift to sleep I heard a knock at the door. I opened the door with my magic, but I didn’t say a word.

“Hey…” Vinyl said.

I looked over to her “Vinyl...hey.”

She shut the door behind her and walked in. “You alright man?”

“Yeah I’m fine,” I answered.

She sat at the end of the bed and looked at me. “You don’t seem fine.”

“I’m fine Vinyl just exhausted,” I replied.

“That’s still a problem though,” she said.

“Vinyl do you have something important to tell me or not,” I said bluntly.

“Whoa dude calm down,” she replied. “I’m just here to make sure you’re alright.”

I sighed and looked back toward the ceiling. I knew Vinyl was confused with my actions but I really wasn’t in the mood. She looked at me with concern and confusion. “I’m sorry Vinyl I’m just not in the mood for literally anything right now.”

“No worries man,” she smiled. “You get all healed up and stuff, we got a pony to stop.”

I looked at her with her determination. I’m surprised to see this from her of all ponies. Well I guess I shouldn’t be….it’s Vinyl after all. The only pony I’ve seen that I can’t seem to predict. I laid my head back down to face the ceiling and close my eyes once more. I felt her leave the bed and leave the room. I’m glad I’m with ponies who can understand me. I don’t talk to many cause I’m just a pony like that. Though I’m never afraid to meet new friends.

I take a deep breath “well Gransion here’s something for ya…..” I raised my hoof into the air. “You’re going down.”
