Nightmare Within Rewrite Exam

Twilights First day in canterlot

~ ✶ ~

twilight gets ready for the school, while her mother is preening her wings, she asks why she even needs to take the entrance exam since Celestia is her aunt, her mother tells her it would not be fair to anypony else, twilight tries to convinced luna that she is concerned that she would fail the test. But she is not convinced

After prodding twilight finally tells her that she does not want to stay, away from her family, Luna tells her that she will be home sooner than she thinks, twilight is convinced it is too long, sighing luna gives her the present with a doll in it(smarty pants) who her father, brother, and her self made together so that she would have a bit of her family with her at all times.

Luna then tells the now happy filly that if she passes the exam she will teach her a spell to turn the doll into a playmate now they better get going if they are going to be making their appointment with the examiners

Before they leave Luna Casts an illusion spell on Twilight and herself, much to the curiosity of the little filly, luna explains that ponies really like to see princesses, confusing the foal "isn't that a good thing?" not when you're trying to get somewhere

She tells her one of the more important things for her to do is make true friends, so as long as she is in school she will be under an illusion spell so that she may fit in better

Twilight And luna make it out of the castle towards Celestia school, and unlike most times when walking around she notices that ponies don't even cast a glance at her, when she makes it to the back entrance to the castle, which was the school she sees that the 2nd - 8th years are hangout in the yard a lot of them are reading under a tree playing tag with friends but most were playing with there magic, the more upper classmate were playing Dodge with small bolts of magic and illusions, the sun was covered by something huge and when she looks up she sees an illusionary dragon, the illusion itself shimmering in the sunlight as it tries to keeps its self together she stops much to lunas dismay, soon enough she grabs Twilight by the nape of her necks and carries her inside, much to her embarrassment .

After breakfast Celestia is disturbed from paperwork and her tea by a knock on her door, it's her head of staff, she wanted to remind her that court was in 5 minutes, she askes about a few of the Petitions information showing the paper while heading to the Throneroom. All ver awaiting visiter bow to her as she walks into the courtroom followed by the mob.

Taking her seat at the throne she motions to her Harrold who announces hear ye hear ye the royal court of canterlot, domain of the day is now in session Celestia Helios Everfree of the Solar Court now presiding. The head of staff then announces the rules the telling them that ponies lined up without an appointment are to come forth when a ruling ends early or the one for the appointment is late/ not coming.

The Harrold "now calling The court Noble Repisentitives under her Devine majesty Princess Celestia " then announces the Noble spokeponies name and title as the enter the room and sit on either side of the Courtroom. Once finished Celestia scans the room to get a good feel in the mood she will be in at the end of the day (i.e if she should brace herself for silly demands)

First petitioner, Lord Crimson Dawn, Duke of Unicornia. He starts off trying to Flatter and giving her praise, he tells her of his problems with one of his private Gem companies that are responsible for his houses wealth, and how due to the recent falling out with the Aurora noble house, the labor for our company had been cut in half, he is asking for public for either financial support so the business stays open, and funs to be payed back in full, or the use of government laborers to take up the slack

She askes the spokesponies of both dawn and Aurora for their sides of the story, and it turns out the whole mess could have been avoided and cause rising tension between the scenes of the house.

Celestia would like to help, however, due to the falling out between the two noble houses could have been avoided and by funding such a thing she would be setting a president for giving aid to private businesses, whenever Disputes come along,

Her ruling is makeup with Aurora and stops the problem from spiraling out of control, she then turns two the 2 spoke ponies and tells them that in order to stop anything from happening in the meantime between the 2 houses she will be suspending their access of the royal guard and be putting them in the hands of Commander Stone wall of the Solar Guard, until they come to an agreement(to prevent them from commanding an attack if they are provoked)

They are annoyed by it but they hide it well behind an edged yet kind tone they try to protest but were cut off when the princess dismisses them, looking at the crowd she smiled before turning to face the Harrold before giving him a nod, the Harrold was about to call from the crowd sompony but the city is stuck from a shockwave of an explosion after a moment of stunned silence the guards jump into defensive positions, and pandemonium breaks lose, as the light through the stain glass windows Starts to darken slightly, perplexed at the feeling of magic in the air, she looks outside to see the daylight sky was filled with stars even when the suns position clearly indicating it being 9 in the noon, only then does Celestia realizes she felt the magic signature before it before. eye-widening after remembering twilights exam statrs today she yells "TWILIGHT!" and teleports away, leaving the court behind and forgotten.

Five minutes earlier... Twilight makes it to the exams room,

Her first test was to lift 3 large stones only using her magic and try to keep them up as long a possible

The second test is to hatch a small elemental Familiar who will show what type of affinity your magic is and, whether it is any combination of Fire earth, water, or air. And will aid you in the school for gifted unicorns. Twilight did not know why but her mother seemed very nervous at this news. This egg is of a special Phenix that takes the elemental Properties of the Creature of in this case pony who hatched it.

The third test(in which she will not get to.) where she would take a written test on the basics of magic theory

Twilight makes it through the first test, and becomes neres when she sees that the examiners do not look impressed, this makes her nerves for the next test, hatching the egg. She was so nervous that she could not do it, looking at the Smile on her mothers face she tries harder glancing at the impassive examiners she felt even more nervous due to how she thought would blow her chance which means she would not get to learn that new spell or get into the school. just then she exploded outwards her magic striking the egg, causing it to grow, and due to the amount of magic that was used she lost control and exploded into chaotic celestial magic Clenching up into a ball she had become the fires of a star. the shadows from the ponies in the room became animate and started screaming as if they were being torchered, the walls in the room became covered in shadows and shadowing eyes opened to stare at the filly in the middle, hands grew from them and tried to grab at the filly who started to scream in fear. all while gravity was reversed across the school, and anyone within the room was put to sleep luna tried to get in to help twilight but was struck by wild magic that tried to rip her into pieces

seeing the hands close in on twilight she tries to jump in and save her, but in mid-jump, through a burning wild magic Celestia teleported in front of her and threw her back before putting a shield around them crying out she is forced as the shadowy hands enclosed around the star, snuffing out the flair, and putting her to sleep. and right before her laid a baby a male shadow Pheonix with dancing stars flickering throughout his plumage.

The examiners deem the filly to be too powerful and they are fearful of her, Professor arcane catalyst even uses the bird as evidence they believe that Twilight is an abomination, a walking disaster just waiting to cause death and destruction, he mistakes the Celestial magic as Dark Magic and is convinced that the filly is evil, that she is evil is not what the other examiners would go far to say but are willing to mark the filly up as a flair, and restrict her magic Perminately until it can be properly controlled

angered by the evil remark Celestia Scolds him, for judging a foal who has almost no control over her magic, and tells them that Twilight will be her personal Student if she must
