Be sure to wash your hoofs before doing magic
Previous ChapterNext ChapterCHAP 2 Be sure to wash your hoofs before doing magic.
I woke up bright and early this morning. My body actually felt better than it was last night. Speaking of last night, I had a dream about a girl. If I remember correctly, she was giggling and called me Brotaku. I can’t even remember what that means. I’ll figure it out eventually. I took off the old bandages since I really didn't need them anymore. Walking on all four takes time to get used too. Plus, I went to go look in the mirror to actually take a long look at myself.
“And to think I am a Pony, a unicorn pony to be exact.”
Huh, to be honest I don't look too bad, I actually look adorable.
Suddenly, the door opened and it was one of those guards that were near the infirmary door the last time I came in.
“Master Leady.” The Guard Saluted me. “An envelope was sent to you by Princess Luna”
The guard gave me the envelope. Man, why is it so hard to grab stuff like this? Wait, actually I’m more concerned about something else.
“Why couldn't Luna come?” I asked
The guard quickly answered back, “She is the princess of the night, it's morning now and she is very tired so she is resting. If that is all, I must get back to my patrol.” The guard then left and shut the door behind him.
Well he was a bit… rude. Anyway I opened the letter and a few items came out. Some coins, a star shaped necklace and a note. I read the note first. It said:
Dear Leady,
I hope you had a good nap. I figured you may need to stretch your legs so, entailed in this envelope contains a few Bits, which is the currency of this world. That necklace is special, when you put that on, it now means that you are a special guest of mine and my sister living in the castle so no one won't mess with you. If you have any questions, my sister will help you.
I hope you get use to this world soon.
Sincerely, Princess of the Night
Luna
Well that was kind of her to do. I put on the necklace and carried the bits with me. These look like gold coins if had these in my world, I think I can get a Small fortune. I left the infirmary to explore my surroundings. So far as I was taking a stroll through the castle, I walked passed a white pony with blue hair who looks to be training other ponies. I took a look at what they're doing. It looks really cool with all their tactics and whatnot.
I then left the castle and explored the city known as “Canterlot”. So far, the ponies here have been very nice to me.
“This place is amazing so far. I- *Sniff * *Sniff* what is that delicious smell?”
That smell, I know that smell anywhere. It’s Strawberries. I followed that delicious smell to a small shop where a female pony was selling pastries.
“Heh heh, your nose must’ve took a whiff of my Strawberry pastries eh?” The Female Unicorn said with a wink.
I nodded at her statement, “Yep. Strawberries are my favourite!”
Wait, they are? Hey I remember something. I love strawberries.
The Unicorn’s horn glowed and lifted one of the pastries and gave a small one to me, “Here ya go honey. Try one.”
I accepted her offer and took a bite. Only one thing came to mind as I tasted it.
DELICOUSSSSS!!!
The sugar, the strawberries, flour, everything was tasty. How can something like this taste so divine?
“Wow you really like ‘em?” The female unicorn said, “I’ll give ya 5 of ‘em for just ten bits.” She said with a smile.
“Deal”
I opened the pouch I got from Luna and gave her exactly ten bits for those tasty treats.
“You may have a returning customer soon… ummm?”
“Berry Nice. Berry Nice is my name. ” She smiled.
“Leady Star” I smiled as well as I gave her a hoof shake and headed off.
I ate at least two of these when I sat near a bench. I headed back to castle with one thing on my mind. I wanna learn what Luna and berry did with their horns. In the audience hall, Celestia was doing some paperwork. She was also doing the floating thing with her horn, she quickly notices me and calls me over.
“Oh Leady, over here.” Celestia called with a smile on her face.
I headed on over there as I sat next to her. Man that is a lot of paperwork. Must be tough being a princess and all.
“W-Whoa that is a lot of work? Don’t you ever get tired of just...doing it?”
Celestia gave a giggle as she continued her work,” I’ll be honest. Yes it does get tiring, but who am I to judge. I’m a princess. I have a lot of responsibilities and what not.”
So Celestia is fine with all work? I honestly don’t think I would last three days doing this, still, there is one thing that is bothering me.
“If you are a Princess, then who is the queen?”
“That title,” She looked away for a moment “...belongs to someone else.”
She gave a slight smile after that. Judging from her reaction it seems to be a touchy subject. I better change it. I’ve been meaning to ask her this anyway.
“How do you do that telekinesis thing with your horn?”
Her horn stopped glowing and looked at me again,” Oh yes, I forgot to mention this to you.” Celestia got up and told her guards that she will be taking a little break. She then told me to follow her. We walked for a while with a little chatter here and there, but then we reached to a school.
“I guess now would be a time to talk to you about your race Leady. Since you are Unicorn, you have the ability to use magic. Magic is everything for Unicorns at a young age, after that they move on to different studies. Well some do, the others continue to study and learn even more advanced magic” Celestia Said with a smile on her face.
I looked at her a smile as well,” I’m going to guess you know one of these ‘Advanced’ unicorns?”
She nodded,” Her name is Twilight Sparkle. “
We then started to walk right in where the young students and I’m guessing due to their clothes, Teacher's started bowing and whispering. Guess some ponies wear clothes.
Celestia continued, “ She is one my prized students this school ever produced, as of right now, I gave her a task that was struggling at first, but now she seems to be grasping it. It’ll be soon until she’s ready for her final Trials to become one of us.”
“Become one of you? I’m confused at what you meant?”
Suddenly celestia put her hoof to her mouth with a shocked face, “Oops I said too much. Well keep it a secret from Twilight if you ever meet her.” She then started to laugh.
Okay now I am really confused. Meh, just forget about it.
“Psst who’s that next to Celestia?”
I don’t know it could be a new teacher.”
“Well she looks cute.”
“No way, I think it's a guy.”
“Now that you mention it his voice sounded masculine “
“Wait maybe it’s Celestia’s boyfriend”.
“It could be. Actually maybe you're right!’
I just overhearing that Conversation and it was enough to make me and Celestia blush a little. Well, I blushed more.
“Say um Celestia, Is it possible for someone my age to learn magic?”
Celestia smiled as she opened a door “Any Unicorn can use magic, it will be a little hard for you though. Normally, when you're young, Magic power Grows as you get older, but because of what you are, I don't think you have any magic at all. So we are gonna test this out.“
As I looked at the room, in the center were some bullseye target and a few objects.
“ These are used in our entrance exams so let's see if you are capable. Here is your first test.”
Celestia put a small medium and large object on the floor, “I want you to concentrate and use your magic to lift these up. The basic instructions is to concentrate on the object, I’ll admit will be hard for someone who is not used to magic. Actually I never asked,do you have magic in your world?”
“Not that I can remember, but i shall give it a shot.”
Celestia POV
I sat down next to the objects that leady was about to lift. He closed his eyes and then started making strange faces and noises. It looked like he was constipated. For 10 minutes he was trying and nothing happened. He then screamed out in anger
“Argh, this sucks! I can’t do it.” Leady said angrily as he stomped the floor.” I need my pastries.”
“Like I said, this was going to be tough. Maybe you really don’t have ma-”
I got interrupted because I shut up when I saw leady picked up his bag. He was using magic, and so well too. The way he was using it though, was...peculiar. Instead of his horn, his hoofs were doing the magic. This made me question his existence now. Is he really human, or is his world uses magic as well?
“Leady you're doing it you’re doing magic!”
It didn't took him long to process it. As he saw his red magical aura holding the bag, he flipped out. Then he started cheering and jumping.
“I did it. I did it. I’m using magic!” Leady Smiled.
I was happy for him but I wanted to see if he can release his magic.
Okay leady, I really wasn't expecting much, but you passed one test. This next one is a little more advance which is why i wanted to see if you were capable of using magic. I want you to release your magic into a beam and shoot this target.
Leady then Gave a grin,” Sure thing, I must be some type of prodigy. This should be easy”
Okay now you are just being cocky. Leady concentrated once more. He was doing well this time but something felt...off. Leady magic started short circuiting and was going all over the place. This overwhelming power source was pushing me back when suddenly, Leady fired the beam. This attack, gave leady some Recoil. Sending him flying to the wall. As for his beam, well it hit the target and it went through the wall. This is bringing more suspicion. I rushed to Leady’s aid to see if he was okay.
“Are you okay?”
He gave a cough, and smiled, “Heh, never better. Now I really want to learn more magic.”
This human is crazy. Are all human like this? Still if he wants to learn more magic, he can always learn here, but we don't how long he will be here. I can’t teach him like I did Twilight due to being even more loaded with work. Wait that’s it, Twilight! It seems I have a little task for you.
