~Intro~
||Narrator||
We all know about change it varies with time, and place. Some of us change for the worst, and some for the better. Now, if there was a pony that you thought needed to change for the better, it would be Diamond Tiara. Our story is about her, but begins instead with him.
Now, you might be thinking: who is this 'him' I speak of? Well, some time ago a colt was born with wings, and magic but no horn. He had magic, but not the magic you all are used to. His magic is that of the extinct Runic Dragons, originally named the hornless unicorn dragons. (A funny name. am I right?) Few ponies even know about these dragons anymore, only the Princesses (and Granny Smith) would know anything about them. With the colt still young, he was supervised by none other than Celestia herself! Years spent learning his magic, how to control it, and most importantly; how to contain it. Twilight Sparkle, protege of Celestia has met him many times before, but they never really talked. Twilight was still a Bookworm, and he was never comfortable with the ponies in the castle. He's always hated the atmosphere those snobs always had. Oh right, I need give you his name! His name is...
~Canterlot Throne Room~
||Celestia||
Celestia used her magic to ring a tiny golden bell beside her throne. A Royal Guard walked from his position guarding the doors over to Celestia.
"Yes, Your Highness," the Guard said, bowing.
"Bring Mage Wing here, tell him I wish to speak to him," Celestia ordered. The guard bowed again, and departed.
A few moments passed before the guard returned with a Neon Purple Colt, with poofy spiked hair as dark as the night, and neon blue at the ends. He had a Cutie mark that depicted a symbol consisting of circles and runes. He looked like he'd glow in the dark with such vibrant colors.
"Hello, Mage Wing, How has your studying been?" Celestia asked.
"Finished." Mage Wing said in a monotone.
"I see, no more books could be found?"
"Nope, Even Double Checked," he replied.
Celestia thought for a moment. "How about you meet up with my protege Twilight Sparkle? You teach her what you know now and I imagine she'll be able to decode how your magic works with your help. She could help you learn and develop your magic,” Celestia suggested.
"Which floor, and which room, does she reside in?"
Celestia giggled. "She doesn't live in this castle anymore. Twilight lives down in Ponyville, and I know just how much you hate snobs, so I think you’re going to like it there,” Celestia explained.
"Wait, no snobs? Where is it and when do I leave?" Mage Wing asked eagerly.
"It's the only town within view of anywhere within Canterlot. and you may leave whenever you want; just ask any of the Chariot teams to give you the ride. Oh and do please send letters of your time down there.”
"Whatever it takes to get away from all these snobs, thank you Princess!" Mage Wing said, and then galloped off to find the chariot teams
~Ponyville~
||Mage Wing||
A few minutes later the chariot team dropped Mage Wing off at the centre of Ponyville, departing back the way they came as he looked over the town.
"Small, simple, and rustic... I like it. Now when I asked the guards where Twilight lived, they said a Hollowed tree..." Mage wing muttered as he walked around looking for this 'Hollow tree' Twilight lives in. His peaceful walk was quickly interrupted...
"HI! I'M PINKIE PIE! I DON'T RECOGNIZE YOU AND IF I DON'T RECOGNIZE YOU THEN THAT MEANS..." *GASP*! The loud pink mare vanished before his eyes.
"What the... I judged too soon,” Mage Wing mumbled, confused.
Mage Wing continued to look for his destination, but as he searched he noticed the town got more deserted as he looked. He had to take a second look at the sun to reassure himself it was only morning. When he finally spotted the tree he was looking for, the town had been completely emptied. He crept up to tree, noticing by the sign of a book outside it was also a library, he knocked, but found no answer. Cautiously he tried the door, finding it unlocked. It creaked open and he walked into a pitch black building. Before he turned around to look elsewhere...
~Twilights Library~
||Mage Wing||
"SURPRISE" A cacophony of ponies yelled.
Mage Wing reacted defensively, with runic magic circle formed under him and a glowing magical shield the color of his coat had encircled himself. The crowd was shocked to see a pegasus casting magic.
"It's fine everypony, I just received a letter from Princess Celestia about his arrival, he's a friend” a young mare called out in the crowd.
Mage Wing canceled his barrier, putting a forehoof behind his head with an apologetic smile on his face.
"So you’re Mage Wing. Nice to meet you: I'm Twilight Sparkle." She greeted as she approached him.
"Nice to meet you too, but may I ask… I’ve only been here less than a few minutes , how did you manage to set up a party for my arrival so quickly?" Mage Wing asked.
"Oh, I'm guessing you met a bright pink mare that freaked out when she met you, her name is Pinkie Pie. She's quite the handful, and she can set up a party in two seconds. I don't know how she does it either, but you'll learn that trying to understand her is impossible. Just go with it." Twilight explained.
"Yea... I met her,” Mage Wing said.
Twilight giggled. "So do you know how you can use magic?"
"Celestia didn't tell you? How much did she tell you?" Mage Wing inquired.
"No she didn't, all she said that a unique colt was going to be arriving shortly. She also said that I'm to be your new teacher, instead of going to the regular school here.."
"Oh, well ever since birth, I had dragonic rune magic, and I’m here to teach you what I know about it, so that you can help me reverse engineer it. That way we can both learn more about this rare magic.”
"Um... Wow... I guess Celestia's letter was more vague than I thought... For now enjoy the party. Get to know some ponies, and take a few days to get settled in. Then we can work on your magic, sound good?" Twilight suggested.
"Sounds good to me," Mage Wing replied, and walked off to notice a trio of fillies around a table. They all looked his age and were discussing something.
He walked over and flew up onto the table. "Hello!" He addressed.
"Hey, do you glow in the dark?" An orange pegasus asked.
"Uhh no,” Mage Wing replied.
"I told you!" A white unicorn directed at that pegasus.
"SHEESH, I WANNA SEE WHAT ALL THIS RUCKUS IS ABOUT!" A filly yelled angrily, as she stomped inside the library.
"Oh no, here comes Diamond Tiara...:" The yellow earthpony said, her voice thick with
annoyance.
