The Crystal Heart is No Match Now
Chapter 5: ...Well This Is Awkward
Previous ChapterNext ChapterChrysalis fell on top of Sombra, hard. Her chin hitting the back of his head which caused her to bite down onto her snake-like tongue with one of her sharp fangs. "Ow!" She felt the metallic taste of blood seep into her mouth. Her head snapped up to glare at him when they realized both of their muzzles were awkwardly close in distance. Everything was silent to them as they both stared into each other's eyes, blushing hard. After what seemed like an eternity of this, Chrysalis soon came to her senses and pushed herself off of him and changed her Wendigo back to it's original form, then held it close. She trotted off back to her room, leaving Sombra to wonder what the heck just happened, especially when a random filly falls from nowhere straight on top of him! He scooped up Rascal, also taking out the spell with him.
He decided to check out some books while he was there, the bell was going to ring sometime soon. He found an interesting variety of transformation, charm, and weather spell books. He went over to the check out counter and was met with the wrinkled, kind face of an old stallion. "Why hello there! Have you found something interesting to read this day?" He said with an almost toothless grin. "Yes sir." He levitated himself above the ground to hoof him the stack of books. He slid the stack over to where he could scan and return them. Soon after he was done, he received them and thanked the old colt for his services. " Oh no need to thank me young boy! It's a pleasure to see youths like you in here! Now hurry off to learn a new spell!" Sombra smiled and galloped back to his room.
When Sombra got back he was surprised at what he found in his room. There was laundry strewn everywhere, it was even on the ceiling and they weren't even there for a day! He looked at his roommate who was nowhere to be seen."Probably left so he wouldn't have me nag to him about this giant mess, the lazy bastard." He went into the hallway and noticed the changeling guards from before were right next to his room. "So she's in the room right next to mine? Huh, didn't notice that before when I saw her jump..." He could feel their stares burning into the back of his head with every step he took, he wished they would stop doing that. Sombra picked up the phone for room services, one of the only things he had read in the welcome pamphlet. They said they would arrive at around the time everyone was in lunch. Sombra found a spot in the dirty room that wasn't covered in the slob's rampage and opened up a transformation book. "Okay, Foal's Guide To Animal Transformation Spells." He leafed through until he found a safe spell he could test out on his furry friend.
The mouse squeaked in disapproval again from the sudden appearance of the light. Sombra's horn flickered to life and cast the transformation spell onto Rascal. Immediately the change started, first his teeth grew sharper and thicker, then his body increased in size, growing out from his old colorful fur and into a sleek jet black coat. 3 of his senses increased tremendously, plus intelligence. Rascal was now a Doberman, with strong muscles, was very light on his feet, and was extremely flexible, something that had clung with him during the change. He took a moment to admire his new masculine body. Suddenly the bell rung loudly, so loudly in fact that Rascal whimpered and dove his head into the pile of dirty clothes, but he immediately regretted that from the horrid stench that was given off from it which was now ten times worse from his increased sense of smell. Sombra levitated his schedule over to him and raced off to his first class, Sorcery.
He was able to be one of the first ponies to get to their class's first, he saw his teacher sitting at her desk. She was had a small smile that graced her lips, also black rimmed glasses, has a chilli pepper-red man, and a chestnut coat. She was reading what appeared to be a Starswirl the bearded collector's addition book on his many new spells, whoever he was. He found a seat in the middle near a window, from here he could see a vast forest, wondering what secrets and maybe even creatures it could house. Soon students started to file in one after another but Sombra wasn't paying any attention to who the students were, until Chrysalis plopped down behind him. He felt uneasy with her being there all of a sudden."Why am I so uncomfortable around her now I didn't have a problem with this on the chariot ride..." He mentally splashed himself with water and listened to what the teacher had to say.
Chrysalis sat there, staring at the back of Sombra's head. "What a lovely mane....Wait, what did I just think!? He's not good looking at all! But just look at that cute horn...Ugh! I gotta stop thinking like this!" She returned her attention to the teacher to notice she was going to preform a transformation spell. "Hello class, I am Miss Rutasy. Now I want you to know this is a high level spell that should be mastered when you are at the age of 12. This is just a glimpse of the spell and I want you to learn what it can do because you should learn these kinds of spells while you still can." The unicorn teacher's horn glowed to life and she cast the spell. It surrounded her entire body with a green color and her body changed rather slowlyy. She now looked like the filly up in front. The class oohed and aahed at the metamorphosis into the other pony. The teacher now looked woozy and sat down into her soft chair. Chrysalis raised her hoof in the air."Yes, uummm...Chrysalis?"
"I just wanted to say that I can change easy."
"Oh, sweetie! As I said before that was high level spell I just did there!"
"Not trying to be rude ma'am, but we aren't called changeling for nothing. That is a natural ability for us. If that wasn't already painfully obvious."
"Okay, sweetie come up here and show us then."
Chrysalis got up from her seat and walked up into the front of the class. In only 2 seconds flat she turned into the mirror image of the teacher. All the teacher could do was gawk at what Chrysalis had just accomplished, which had left herself heavily tired. The rest of the day continued, Sombra and Chrysalis now know all of their teacher's names.
