My Second chance

“Twi, it’s been five hours. I think its time to call it a day. Im exhausted. Let’s go have some lunch and try to figure out our findings.” I said completely panting on the floor.

“Okay, I guess your right. Come on, I’ll make us some sandwiches. My treat.” Looking rather cheerful she turned and started walking back toward the kitchen. We practiced out on the balcony so the books didn’t get damaged by any stray magic bolts. I never did make an illusion.

Back in the library we both had a PB&J sandwich while spike had a bowl of gems that we didn’t use. He didn’t want to get sick from any, “magical mumbo jumbo” as he put it. While we ate I realized she was deep in thought. I was worried for her.

“Twi, are you still thinking about this power? It’s not healthy to dwell on something you can’t change.” I asked in a worried tone.

She finished her last bite of her sandwich and gave a long sigh.

“I’m worried about this power Helix," she said, "We don’t’ know fully what it does or how you got it in the first place. If the power gets to great it could corrupt and twist your mind. You could become evil. I don’t want to fight a friend. Even if you were given this power for a greater good, it could entail a war. I wish this world would survive, if that happened.” She looked almost depressed.

“Twilight, this power is something I don’t know of. But, if anypony can figure this out, it’s you. If it keeps bothering you, write to the princess. She will give you as much wisdom as she can,” I was very stern when I said this.

“Thank you Helix. I will write a letter to her in a couple of hours. I need to think about what I will tell her,” She replied a little happier.

“Don’t think to hard, you’ll freak out over it.” I said with a light chuckle.

She gave a light giggle and replied, “Okay, guess you’re right. Oh, I forgot, I never taught you how to make that illusion!” She looked a little startled at this realization.

“It’s okay Twi, you don’t have to worry. I’ll look in a book if I really want to know how to do it. Right now we have to relax from such a day of investigation. If you want to work on it some more tomorrow, we can test my powers on living things, see how it works,” I suggested.

“But who do we know that would be stupid enough to be a test subject for an unknown power?” She looked like she was looking through a list of all her friends.

I laughed so hared I thought I was going to have an accident.

“Twi, I meant with a plant or something, we don’t need an actual pony as a subject.” I managed to say through some light chuckles.

“Oh, my bad for not seeing the obvious. Heh heh heh.” Her face grew a deep shade of red due to embarrassment.

“Well, Twi im going to go over to Fluttershy’s. I want to see if she needs help.” I was just about to go out the door when I was interrupted.

“Helix, are you sure you want to go over. We still don’t know if you can control your powers fully.” Twilight sounded really worried. If it was for me of for her I had no idea.

“Don’t worry. I actually need to try to access it for me to use it. I can control it.” I said rather confidently. I left before she could interject again.
