Seven Schools, Seven Heroes
The First Day: Pinkie
Previous ChapterNext ChapterPinkie was already up by seven in the morning. She wanted to get to class early to introduce herself to Professor Discord. She got in to her yellow and royal blue robes and walked over to the Myth Classroom. "Good morning professor!"
Pinkie's voice woke the Draconequus professor with a small fright, "What's that!? Oh, it's just a student." and thought to himself, "Great, another Conjurer want to be disturbing me from my meditation."
Pinkie growled lightly saying, "You weren't meditating, you were napping, I know the difference! Plus I can read the story!"
Discord's eyes widened when Pinkie said she could read the story and asked, "You can? Huh, and here I thought I was the only one who could do that. Are you on medications?"
Pinkie sighed, "Yeah, but I don't like taking those gross pills."
Discord chuckled lightly, "The same applies with me. I only take the pills because Headmistress Celestia makes me. I like you child. You'll certainly make this class much more interesting."
Pinkie smiled, "Thank you professor!"
As the other students arrived to the class, Discord and Pinkie stopped conversing and took their places as student and teacher. Discord cleared his throat, "Well, for those of you who don't know me, I am Professor Discord. I believe in a more independent study. All of you will be on your own most of the year, and will learn through experience. Now, if you've been in this class before, you know what to do, off with you. First years, you'll be doing some tasks to prove if you're worth my time teaching you."
Pinkie smiled as Discord started giving the other first years their tasks. When she came up to Discord to receive her task, she asked, "These tasks seem fun, but they're a bit too easy don't you think?"
Discord stroked his beard, "I suppose they are a bit easy, but don't worry, these tasks are worth the effort if you can complete them. Now, as for you Pinkie, I'd like you to go to the library and bring me a book on a creature called the Wumpus. It lives deep underground and causes earthquakes by squeezing through tectonic plates. Don't bother asking the librarian for help, he's of no use."
Pinkie nodded and said, "Okie dokie lokie!" before heading off to the library. She went through the books in the Mythical Creatures section of the library and found a strange looking book. She opened it and saw a picture of a massive worm with no eyes, sharp teeth, and a tail that resembled an axe. She took the book to the librarian and asked, "Mr. Arglesten, may I check this book out?"
The librarian adjusted his classes and told Pinkie, "Strange, I don't recall ever having this book in our collection." he flipped through the pages and his eyes widened, "Impossible! This book is on the Wumpus! I swear, every week we have new students asking for this book, and I keep telling them this book doesn't exist... My memory must be getting worse in my old age. Well, I assume Professor Discord sent you for this book, so I'll check it out for you." he stamped the book's rental card and handed it to Pinkie Pie, "Have a nice day, and please apologize to Professor Discord for me, I always thought the Wumpus was a figment of his imagination."
Pinkie took the book back to Discord, who seemed shocked that she got the book, "Well, it seems you've found the book on the Wumpus. And here the librarian was calling me crazy. To be honest, I was actually beginning to question myself on the existence of the Wumpus. Well, you've proven yourself capable of basic tasks. But now I want to see what you can do in a wizard duel. I want you to head over to my tower and grab the Cyclops Eye in there and bring it to me. It's guarded by a troll, so if you are able to bring me the eye, I'll know if you're capable of holding your own in a battle."
Pinkie nodded before heading out and across the path from the classroom to Discord's tower. She saw the troll and giggled, "I knew there was going to be a troll, but I didn't expect such a meme-ie! Ha, I crack myself up!"
You do realize I'm the one who comes up with these jokes, right?
"Hey- well... ok, I'll admit to that. Just write the damn battle scene!"
As Pinkie and the troll began their battle, Pinkie cast a Blood Bat spell. Since she was a new student, that was one of the only spells she had. That and her Minor Strike cards she got from her wand. However, she was still able to defeat the troll, despite it being her first fight. She grabbed the cyclops eye from the desk and headed back to the classroom and gave it to Discord.
Discord smiled, "Impressive indeed. You may actually be worth teaching. Now that you've proven you're capable, I'm sending you out to Unicorn Way. Go there and concentrate. If you are lucky enough to summon something, they will give you your power words, and then I can teach you how to summon a minion."
Pinkie squealed in excitement, "My first day of class and I get to summon a minion!" she ran off towards Unicorn Way. When she arrived, she had a strange feeling, but it wasn't her Pinkie sense.
A unicorn appeared and trotted up to her and told her, "Young Pinkie, I commend you on your efforts. The path of a Conjurer is not an easy one, but your destiny lies in Myth. Tell Discord you have my favor. If he does not believe you, all you must say is 'Tacotodo renrio renfro.' Tale care student of Myth." and with that, the unicorn was gone.
Pinkie ran back to the Myth classroom and told Discord the words she got from the unicorn. Discord smiled, "Impressive, here. This is just the first step on your journey as a Conjurer. It will only get harder from here. Be ready, but for now, you may be dismissed."
Pinkie took the card that Discord handed her, it was a Summon Troll card. She thanked Discord and went off to her next class.
