SnowFlare, Pegasus of Ice.

Snowflare wandered around Ponyville for almost an hour to try and find his new house. The princess had sent him a telepathic message on the train that she had found a suitable house, and sent him an image of a map.

Wait, so I turn here...I mean, turn there...ugh, this town is MORE confusing than I expected! Snowflare closed his eyes, seeing the path in his mind. After a moment of quiet puzzling, he suddenly realized where to go.Taking off, he galloped left, then right, then right again and found himself at a small house. It was set apart from the other houses, but quiet was quiet, and Snowflare enjoyed it. It was 8 PM by the time Snowflare settled in. He decided to try the telepathy magic that Celestia had taught him on the way to the train station.

Celestia, are you there? he thought, summoning his magic and picturing the thought shooting to his mentor.. He waited a few minutes before a warm, familiar voice filled his head.

I'm here, Snowflare. Did you settle in alright?

Yes, I found my home. It's nice and quiet here.

Good. Also, do you remember why I needed to train your skills urgently? Her voice had taken on a questioning, slightly worried tone. Snowflare frowned, trying hard to remember.

Now that you mention it, I don't think I was ever told why he thought, almost too deeply.

Oh. Then I suppose I should tell you. It's because...well, the buildup of power could be stronger than that of the Elements of Harmony. If unstable or corrupted, it could bring great doom all through Equestria. It's a risk for many powerful unicorns as well, like one of my former students, but she managed to rein in her power, although it wasn't as bad as this, but if i can remember, I believe she lives in Ponyville as well... Celestia explained somberly. I would like you to practice building you magical energy, keeping it under control. Before Snowflare could respond, the warm presence of his mentor in his mind vanished. She must have stopped the telepathy. Better get started.

Snowflare sat down and began summoning his magic. Warmth flooded his coat as he started to build his magical energy. The energy grew stronger and stronger and began to glow almost to brightly, and the blue light could be seen from his house.

Meanwhile, at the Library.....

Twilight couldn't sleep. She could feel a magical presence nearby, and it felt different than she was used to. When magic got strangely strong, she could sense it, which was a skill taught to her by Celestia. Now, she could feel something powerful nearby, and could sense a buildup of magic energy.

Looking at the window, she saw a house away from the others. A blue glow surrounded it, and she instantly recoiled, shock shooting through her. That's odd...unicorn magic doesn't normally produce that strong of a glow unless they're performing a complex spell...wait a second, that's not normal unicorn magic!

"what kind of magic is that?" Twilight said to herself quietly. It wasn't a kind of power she had seen before. The blue aura was somehow...different. A cold tingling sensations broke out all over her coat as the watched the strange magic.

"Whoever lives in that house must have powerful magic...." She started, confusion strengthening her thirst to find the source of the odd magic. "And...I want to examine it a little."

The next morning Snowflare got out of bed and immediately went back into town. He wanted to find some books about magic.

As he walked, his gaze found a cream-coated earth pony with a curled blue-and-pink mane. He quickly trotted up to the mare and inquired, "Do you know where I can find books about magic?"

"Aren't you a pegasus?" A confused expression distorted the unicorn's face. "Only unicorns can do magic."

"Well, I, um...just like...reading about it! Yeah, it's like...uh, like a whole new world for me!" Snowflare plastered what he hoped was a reassuring grin across his face. The mare didn't seem to notice his inner apprehension and simply smiled.

"Well, you can try the library, it's in the big tree house, you can't miss it." She jabbed a hoof in midair, pointing to a large tree that didn't look to be too far away.

"Thanks!" Snowflare called as he ran towards the tree-house. Upon getting to the door, he thought about whether he should knock or just walk in. It's like it's somebodies House, but then again, it's a library, whoever runs it wouldn't be too mad if i walked in, but then again... Eventually, he decided on knocking.

"It's open," called a mare's voice from inside. Snowflare gulped, preparing to meet yet another stranger, opened the door, and walked in.

"Oh! Hello! I've never seen you around before," she said with a welcoming tone. The mare, who was a lavender-coated unicorn with violet eyes, smiled at Snowflare.

"I'm Snowflare. I just moved into town a day ago."

A day ago? Could he be the one with the magic? I certainly don't know any other pony in Ponyville who can do that. But he's a pegasus... Twilight thought to herself as she remembered the blue light from the house.

"So what can I do for you?" She asked after a moment..

"Do you have any books on magic?" He asked casually. Twilight's gaze narrowed. Wait a second. He's the newcomer, and he wants to borrow a book on magic? Is it just a coincidence that the blue light happened after her arrived?

"D-did I say something...strange?" Snowflare asked, noticing Twilight's hesitation.

"No! It's just...so rare to hear a pegasus say that!" She chuckled nervously.

"Well...do you have any books then?" Snowflare asked, beginning to feel awkward.

"Sure, what kind of magic?" she replied, her voice bright again..

"Controlling magic," he stated firmly. Twilight's eyes widened. Could he be the one in the house? But...but he's a pegasus... Lost in thought, Twilight was unaware that she had said "but he's a pegasus" out loud.

"What's your point?" interruped Snowflare. It seemed to break her out of her train of thought.

"Oh! N-nothing, may I ask why you want books on Magic?" She gulped.

Snowflare knew he couldn't tell her the truth, so he fibbed, "Because it looks interesting to see what's possible from the unicorns." His gaze had been cast to his hooves, not wanting to meet Twilight's eyes. "A pony can dream."

"That's true....I'll go see what I have," Twilight murmured before going towards the shelves. Upon closer inspection, Snowflare could see that the mare's cutie mark was a series of magic sparks. She must have strong magic. Snowflare immediately started to feel suspicious of the mare. Is she onto me? No, don't be ridiculous, Snowflare, she was probably asleep the night I practiced. Probably.

"Found some!" The voice of the mare broke him out of his thoughts, and the mare trotted into the room with several books floating alongside her.. After putting the books in his saddlebag, Snowflake smiled at the mare. "Goodbye!" He began to leave, but he quickly stopped and called out, "By the way, I'm Snowflare."

The mare, after a moment of silence, said, "I'm Twilight Sparkle. It was nice meeting you!"

Snowflare nodded, turned,, and departed from the Library. On his way back to his house, he realized he was getting hungry, and he hadn't bought food yet. So he decided to go into town first.
