Memories of Kindness
Chapter 2 - In Which Studies Begin And A Chaotic Friend Learns
Previous ChapterCelestia looked back towards the book in front of her, turning over to the set of pages for the net day in the diary.
Celestia opened her eyes from her sleep, the bed she was given was not the softest bed ever in the slightest, however it was comfier than the beds she was used to.
Pink Lady looked up towards the stairs as she heard hoofsteps. "Good morning" she said, a happy tune to her voice.
"Good morning" Celestia replied with a smile.
"Hungry?" Pink Lady asked, receiving a nod from the young alicorn who walked towards the table, before being attacked from behind by her sister, receiving a laugh from both the alicorns involved. "Cosmic Light dropped by this morning to tell me eactly where you will be having your lessons, and I will bring you there after you have eaten" Pink Lady said.
"Okay" Luna smiled, sitting at the table, prepared to eat.
After serving out the food, Pink Lady sat with the two alicorns as the three of them started to eat. Pink Lady then stood up and led the fillies towards the library. Upon knocking on the door, the unicorn stallion from the night before answered.
"Ah! Hello Pink Lady. Once again, I must thank you on behalf of all of us that you have taken these fillies in" Cosmic Light said, gesturing for the three to make their entrance.
The inside of the library was one of the grandest buildings Celestia and Luna had seen up to this point. The walls were polished stone, the ceiling of each floor was made of Galaxy stone, columns holding them up. A large, glass dome filled up the majority of the roof, as far as could be seen from the bottom floor anyhow. Staircases led up to different floors, getting smaller the further they went up, however the top floor did not quite reach the top. Bookshelves lined almost every wall, apart from ones with doors on them.
"This is where we will do our research and most of our magic training. For flying, we'll head out to the fields and I will get a few friends of mine to teach you while I make sure you are safe. We will also be doing some exploration as well, to break up some monotony, if the need ever arises" Cosmic Light said "I ask of you to treat me as you would a friend. If you have any problems with anything, you can come and find me and I will try to help you in any way I can. But, in exchange for this, I want you to let me teach you everything you need to know to advance through your life."
Celestia and Luna quickly nodded. They, of course, knew basic spells from whatever pages they could find in old spell books, such as levitation, however, they wanted to know more. Also, they had never actually learned how to fly, and learning such would make their lives so much easier.
"Alright. I assume you know the basics of levitation?" Cosmic Light asked.
After the lesson, Celestia and Luna sneaked away and made their way to the cave where Discord was currently residing.
"Celestia?" The Draconequus' voice asked.
"Yes Discord, it is us and our sister" Celestia replied.
"I have good news!" Discord said "Come in!"
As the alicorns entered the cave, they were surprised at what they saw. The walls were all of different colours, and tere was a burning fire encased in a block of ice.
"Discord... What happened?" Celestia asked.
"I found out how to use my magic!" Discord smiled.
"Discord is a being of chaos, however, he is not being too chaotic" Luna said, remembering one of her favourite books on Equestrian species.
"As long as he does not cause too much trouble here" celestia said.
Celestia smiled at the memory and remembered her past teacher. The smile on her face shrunk slightly as she remembered when she had to leave him behind.
