Spike's Destiny
chapter 6 The Lessons Start
Previous ChapterNext ChapterOnce Luna had told Spike about the impending lessons to teach him more magic, they headed to one of the bigger room's in the castle to start a lesson. But before they could go a couple of the guards had enter the room escorting Princess Cadence and Shining armour making Spike and Luna turn around. Its Cadence and Shining armour Spike thought oh no shining armour is hurt.
"TWILIGHT! help" Cadence called out while carrying shining armour and the baby."
What happened to him?" Twilight asks as she gallops over them.
"We were saved by Discord when he felt that King sombra had returned" Cadence lied.
"Then what?" Luna asked.
"Well he left us at Zecora's, Then we walked through the forest and slept at the old ruins of the castle we left our respect to Celestia and then we left to walk though the forest again." Cadence Stop to take a deep breath as Twilight waits for Cadence to continue "A dozen of those Timberwolves attacked us I run to protect Flurry Heart and waited out side the forest for Shinning to come out. he was covered in scratches and bite marks he couldn't walk on one of his front legs and I got them both here quick as I could."
Twilight calls Fluttershy over to look at Shining Armour, while Fluttershy checks him over she asks if Flurry Heart is ok. "Oh yes she has been sleeping through most of it" just then Flurry Heart starts to cry.
"Well I spoke too soon" Cadence laughed.
"I think his left front hoof is broken" Fluttershy told Twilight and Cadence.
"Can you help him?" Cadence asks worried.
"yes I can I just need him to lay down, Rainbow can you help me please I need to take him up stairs?" Fluttershy asks.
"Sure" Rainbow replied she grabbed the other side of Shining armour and carries him up stairs.
"You should go with them to the guests bedroom" Twilight told Cadence.
"Thank you Twilight" Cadence started to head towards the stairs.
"I'll have the guards send you up some tea and some food for you, Shining and the baby" Twilight told Cadence she nodded in gratitude and left to go find where Fluttershy and Rainbow had put Shining.

Luna turns to Spike "Let us go were not needed" with that Spike and Luna turned around and left looking for a big space they found a big room at the back of the castle with nothing in the room. Purple and all crystal like just like all the other rooms three big clear windows letting in a lot of light.
"Here's a good place to start learning my magic as you say" Spike say's in unconvinced voiced.
"Yes this will be a great place, let me just get a few things that will help" Luna told Spike as she trotted out the door.
Spike sat in the middle of the floor just thinking about how crazy these past couple of days have been, going out with Scootaloo then Celestia dying, King sombra returning then threatened to kill my new marefriend and becoming a Captain with me leading the Cutie Mark Crusaders what have I got my self into now Spike thought as he face palms.
Luna returns carrying an sort meant of objects in her magic, a quill, stone, photo frame (with no photo in it) a book and a table lamp. Spike stood up he was intrigued by the objects in front of him and looked up at Luna interested.
"For your first lesson we shall do basics levitation, now look at the the quill and picture in your mind can you do that?" Luna asks Spike he close his eyes little bit of time afterwards he nods, "great now focus on the quill and imagen it lifting up and do it" Luna tells Spike. Spike face tenses up a green aura lights up around the quill, "that's it come on you can do it" Luna encourages Spike and the quill lifts into the air.
"That's it well done Spike you've done it" Luna smiles feeling proud of him. Spike opens his eyes to see him moving the quill in the air
"Bucking hell!, is that me doing that?" Spike asks moving the quill all around the room.
"Yes Spike that's really you doing that" Luna tells Spike he was just so amazed that he could do magic.
"Now put quill back and we'll move on to the stone next" and Spike did as he was told.

"Yes your highness" the solider replied.
"I need you to take this food upstairs to princess Cadence and Prince armour quickly please?" Twilight asks, levitating the food over.
"Of course" he takes the try of food and flies off with it to give to Cadence and Shining armour.
Twilight trots over to her seat at the table and sits down noticing that Rainbow had returned.
"How is shining?" Twilight asks.
"He's doing fine, he's awake if you wanted to see him?" Rainbow replied.
"I can't we need a plan to deal with king sombra ill check on him later" Twilight told Rainbow she nodded in response.

"I want thou to take something at random to show that thee have full control over your magic" Luna tells Spike.
"Well ok" and he levitates over a book of daring doo over to Luna she takes this as evidence of Spike has full control over his magic.
"That's it, well done you will have a another lesson tomorrow" and Luna leaves.

Everypony was sitting down at the table Luna had just lowered the sun and risen the moon Twilight sat next to her of course, Rainbow and Rarity we're sitting together on the other side of the table Fluttershy was sitting down next to Pinkie. Further along was Cadence and Shining armour, "Fluttershy had patched up shining really well" Spike thought next to them was an empty seat next to Scootaloo.
Spike walks over and sits down next to Scootaloo she looks over at him and smiles, "hey there you are I haven't been able to find you today" Spike smiled at Scootaloo.
"Sorry i had my lessons today and have I got something to show you" Spike answered.
"Cool cant wait" Scootaloo smiled, the servant brought Spike his soup, he thank the servant as he left, Spike tasted the soup just plain tomato nothing special Spike thought.
Spike looks up across from him to see Applebloom and Sweetie belle sitting next to each other talking very quietly in fact the whole table was Quiet spike thought. "Hey Scootaloo is every pony ok?" Spike asks.
"Yeah i just think it's the whole stress of war and Celestia's death its brought every pony down" Scootaloo answered, Spike just nodded, "oh yeah Twilight tried to give me my own room but I said that im sleeping in your room was that okay ?" Scootaloo asks Spike smiles.
"Couldn't think of anything better" Scootaloo smiles they eat their dinner after that although Spike and Scootaloo's tails we're curled around each other the whole time they were eating.
Once dinner was done Spike and Scootaloo went up to Spike bedroom, Scootaloo trotted in first with spike following "watch this Scoot" Spike closed the door with his magic turn's to Scootaloo.
"You can do magic?" Scootaloo asks confused.
"I've always had magic just never to this scale, all I could do was send letters and I've just had this magic hidden im getting lessons now because im the one to stop King sombra its mental I don't know if I can do it" Spike sat on his bed and looked down at floor.
Scootaloo climbs on the bed sits behind Spike and puts all four of her legs around him and gives him a kiss on the neck and rests her head on his shoulder. "I believe in you I know you can do this, anyway I'll be there with you every step of the way ok" Scootaloo comforted, spike I got up and turned around looked at Scootaloo.
"I know" Spike tells her.
"Now let's take your mind off your duties shell we" as Scootaloo says that she pulls spike into a deep long kiss their tongues start to wrestle each other, they both pull away panting.
"I think that could work" spike smiles.
