The end of me.
The magic within.
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI trot down the hall, my body growing stronger by the second with the magic overflowing my body. I feel great, more powerful than anyone in these halls. "Miss. Fly!" A celestial guard yells. I look back at him, my purple eyes giving the worst death glare there is. "What is it?" He backs away. "U-uh...n-nothing...." He shivers, and runs off.

When I get outside, I immediately start training. I practice my fighting skills, and even a bit of magic. At this rate, in exactly two years, three months and twenty seven days, I will be stronger than Celestia, meaning that I have a chance to beat my father...But in the mean time, I must find a place to stay. I am currently ten years old, not old enough to really do anything. I have to wait at least six years to get any sort of license. I sigh. "What will I do?" I think to myself. "I might have to stay with Celestia and Luna..." I look down, and turn around to see a tall dark stallion standing before me. "Uhm. Hello...?" I try to be friendly. "Child...We must speak with Luna and myself. Will you be willing to come?" His voice is smooth, but really quite deep. "I guess..." I sound a bit frightened, afraid where he might actually take me. "Alright. Let's go." He leads me back to Luna. In her bedroom. I now realize that they're both alicorn's. "W-wha..?" I stare in confusion. Luna hushes me and explains how she felt my extreme amount of power, and how she knows it was through my mother's necklace. The tall dark alicorn kneels beside me, and gives me a full body inspection. "Well, Arty. You look alright. well enough to carry the magic...and, I assume you need a place to stay?" "Yeah..I do." "Well, you may stay with me if you please." The dark stallion smiles. "If you want, darling. You don't need to." "I know..I would like to, though. Just until i can get back on my hooves again. Thank you, your highness..." I smile slightly as Luna shows me to where I can sleep.
The next morning, I can tell that I've grown so much stronger and, I even look taller. "What the-?!" As soon as I sit up, Celestia takes me to her room. "Time has sped up in the small amount of "hours" you have slept, Artemus....you are now a Captain of the Lunar guards and the most powerful mare in Equestria, not stronger than myself nor Luna....but, you must wield your magic carefully...you are 15 now. You have more of a responsibility...Treat your magic well..." I nod as she finishes preaching to me. "I'll be careful, Celestia...don't worry!" I quickly dart out, a large grin smeared across my face. "I. Am. Ready...COME AT ME, DARK FLY!! I'LL BE WAITING!!!" i scream out, feeling strong enough to take on anyone.

Back in Celestia's castle, she watches as i run out, and lets out a longing sigh. "sister...you realize we cannot tell her it is the necklace forever, right...? she will find out eventually..." "Yes, but until then we mustn't tell her! Thou must know this!" "Yes, I do know...but is she really ready? she's only 15, Luna..." The room grows quiet, and they watch my moves as I run away.
Thunder crashes in the middle of the town, almost striking a pony as everyone screams in horror. Today has brought chaos, and only I can fix it.
