"OH SH*T!"

KABOOM!

"Well that went....explosive..."

I laid on a bunch of broken things as Twilight Sparkle rushed towards me.

"Sorry!" Twilight said. I smiled as I got up.

"No worries I've experienced worse." I said, rubbing my head, my hand sometimes bumping against my horn. "Why do I even need to learn magic? I could just copy a random teleportation spell and go home." I said.

"Well all my spells come from my horn. We're going to have to develop your magic so that you can support the stress of using so much magic." Twilight said. I crossed my arms.

"Let me try." I said. Twilight sighed.

"Okay. We'll do a very simple spell. It's about coursing magic into your horn and producing light." Twilight said glowing her horn white. I nodded and closed my eyes. I tried to sense an aura coming off. I found it, but it felt different to the ones I copied. It felt more magical. I copied the Aura and tried to power the spell. My head started to hurt as I tried to maintain the magic in the tip of my horn. I started to yell as it turned out to be too much.

"Stop it now! Stop it now!" Twilight yelled as she tried to stop me by shaking me but it was too late. The glow started to become larger and larger.

KABOOM!

"Ow...."

I laid on the floor again, my head hurting like crazy. Twilight did a sigh of relief.

"Luckily you did a magical burst before the magic was able to deal damage to yourself." Twilight said. She then frowned. "But that means mister that you'll be taking these magic classes!" Twilight grabbed me with her magic and placed me on a chair. I smiled.

"Alright I'll take your classes." I said. Twilight again showed me the Light Spell and I copied it and this time didn't overpower it.

"Your a fast learner." Twilight said.

"Well in the meantime let's talk." I said as I sat down and concentrated on the flow bulb. "So let's start with the races. Can you explain all of them?" I asked. Twilight nodded.

"So first is the Earth Pony race. They're the ones without horn or wings but have incredible strength. For example Applejack the one with the hat is part of a farming family for apples. Next is the pegasi race. These are the ones that control the weather usually and some have become fast fliers like Rainbow Dash. Then comes the unicorns, the race that could use the magic around them and form spells. Some of them were known to be very powerful. Finally is the alicorns, a unique race that combines all three tribes. And apparently you are one as well."

"Hold up I can't be one of them. This so called Celestia said I was HALF- Alicorn!" I said. Twilight thought for a moment.

"I guess eventually you'll master the form and become an alicorn permanently." Twilight said. I nodded, but during my nod I realized something repetitive.

"What's that?" I asked, pointing to her skirt. The symbol was a purple star surrounded by other white smaller stars. Twilight smiled.

"It's called a cutie mark." She said. I raised an eyebrow, struggling to sustain a laugh.

"A cutie- cutie ma- AHAHAHA!" I couldn't continur containing it and I fell to the floor laughing. "Okay I respect the idea but couldn't they had named it something else?!" I said, before continuing to laugh. I then stopped. "What does it mean?"

"Basically it represents ones talent. One usually gets it starting from 8 to 15." Twilight said.

"So when you get your talent they paint a symbol on your clothing?" I asked. Twilight did a slight blush.

"Well it actually appears one ones...flank..." Twilight said. I laughed. Oh this story is getting funnier by the second. She blushes from embarrassment a bit more. "And then it magically appears on other clothing." She said. She frowned a bit when she saw me continue laughing. "You do realize you have a chance of getting one as well on your rear." Twilight said. I faked a shocked look and the two of us laughed.

"As if." I said. I panted as the spell began to fatigue me again . I powered it off. Twilight took down some notes. "What are you writing Twilight?" I asked.

"I'm calculating your magical reservoir and potential. Since you just started, you start at 1. Considering the magical burst you made was roughly the same size I did years ago, you're now at 3.2. it's a high number for someone who just started." Twilight said.

"Well we have a similar system. For every ability we calculate their potential and mastery to get the result. Even if both have the same ability and mastery, their potential can make a difference in where they land in the hierarchy." I said. "Pfft. 'Its just natural that the lowest fall under the order of the strongest.' Bullsh*t."

"Anyways apart from your foul language, what was your level there?" Twilight asked. I sighed.

"Honestly it's been two years since I last took that test. But I'll tell you my level. Wellston's King at his highest was 6.3 or something like that. My power two years ago was 7.0." I said, causing Twilight to be shocked a bit.

"So you must be even stronger now!" Twilight said. I shrugged.

"Probably. But I'm not into that stuff anymore. All I know is that I can copy any ability while increasing my own power. The only abilities I can't copy is ones that don't give off any aura. Those are mostly ones that skip time which means that they give off an aura but in a frozen place. Too quick to detect." I said. "Though what would a cutie mark that represented my ability look like?" I asked her. She shrugged.

"I don't know." Twilight said. "I have a question. In your world do you guys control the weather?"

"Apart from a few that have some weather related things but even so, we don't really control it. We just let it do whatever it wants." I said. She jotted it down.

"So you don't control it at all?" Twilight asked. I shook my head. "So your world reminds me of the Everfree Forest. It's a forest where things happen by themselves..."

"And it caused others to fear it?" I asked. Twilight nodded.

"When you live with something that you call normal and you see something that by your standards is not normal, you fear it." Twilight explained. I nodded.

"So Nightmare Moon, I never got to know her better. Who was she?" I asked. Twilight lifted up a book.

"A long time ago, Nightmare Moon was known as Luna, sister to Celestia. Celestia would raise the sun and Luna raised the moon..."

"But because many sleep in the night, she got jealous and turned into Nightmare Moon and tried to purge the world into darkness right?" I asked. Twilight looked at me.

"It sounds like a you lived this story before." She said.

"Well being violent by nature and being a person with logic I was able to figure it out." I said. Twilight frowned again.

"Please stop acting so negative. What's in the past stays there." Twilight said but I shook my head.

"Whenever I close my eyes, sometimes I can still hear that girl saying that I am a monster." I said. Twilight's ears lowered. "And in truth...I was...and I still am."

I flickered my ability, forming a spear of shadows. I cancelled it, causing it to disappear. Twilight sighed. She shook her hair from her face.

"Anyways....time to levitate! Twilight said but with less enthusiasm. For the remainder of the day she would teach me how to think of me grabbing a object while coursing magic. I would grab it but then place too much force and send it crashing into the ceiling.

"You have a lot of potential in heavy magic..." Twilight said at the end of the day. "...but you need to get the proper amount of magic in to prevent it from flying." Twilight handed me a rock to practice with.

"Will do so." I said. "I'll be going home..."

"What do you mean home?" Twilight asked.

"Oh that old castle. I'm calling it home for now. See ya." I said, walking away, only for Twilight to grab me

"I can't let a friend live in such place. Stay here while I try to find a proper place for you!" Twilight said. I shook her off.

"Thanks but I don't want to bother you." I said. She spoke again.

"Please. I insist. That's what friends do. Take care of each other." She said. I sighed before placing a smile.

"If you insist." I said. Twilight cloned a bed and adjusted it's size for me. I laid down on the bed.

"Comfortable?"

"Yeah it is. Thanks Twi." I said. I realized that I have her a nickname. Just like I call Seraphina 'Sera' I just called her Twi. She smiled.

"You're welcome." Twilight said. She was about to leave until she said something else. "Oh and if a purple baby dragon tries to attack you calling you an intruder, that's Spike my pet and friend dragon. Don't worry about him." She said.

"Will do Twilight. Will do." I said as I got comfortable. I looked at the cieling. I sighed.

Don't worry Sera... I'll come back...
