Dusk to Dawn
Chapter 2: Friendly gestures
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSo, I'm eight years old now.
Yep, I spent two years living in this world. I think I'm starting to lose it. I read the journal for these past two years this morning. And I noticed that I'm slipping away. Who I was before I became Dusk Shine is slowly fading away. I can't help but refer to Father and Mother as my biological parents. I can't say that they are strangers. I can't say that I was once another being. My mind pushes the thought of that me being the real me away as if it was the stupidest thing in the world. Why?
I befriended Moon Dancer. I befriended Lyra. I befriended Minuette! Little by little, I'm becoming more Dusk Shine than whoever I was before this! And the part that scares me the most, is the fact that I don't care. That's right. I don't mind turning into Dusk Shine. I'm perfectly ok with the idea of turning into him. I feel bad whenever I talk as if we were different beings. And to make matters worse, I find myself more attached to this world than wherever I came from. I swear that my attachment to that place is waning so quickly that I might ignore it one day. I'm forgetting that world. And I don't mind it.
I can recall the events I've seen clearly, I know who will be by my side when things get rough. But I'm also changing things around me. I ran into Octavia Melody, an earth pony musician. And I used a spell to transcribe a score piece and called it Hikari modified for strings. She played it and became famous. A prodigy amongst other musicians her age and she just keeps growing.
I'm playing a dangerous game and there is no sign of remorse in me. I'm altering stories left and right without effort. I know how dangerous it is, but it all feels natural. I only realize what I did once I sit down and look at the records in this journal.
I don't know where this will end. But I pray with every fiber of my being that I don't doom us all with these acts.
There I was walking around in school with my books, minding my own business, when I ran into the bastard prince, also known as, Blueblood. This prick is the worst stallion I have ever seen in Canterlot. He adds and removes mares from his herd like there is no tomorrow. There are rumors of him having children and not recognizing them! Even worse, he supposedly pays them to keep their mouth shut using money from the royal treasury.
That's what you expected me to say, right?
Sorry to disappoint, but, although he lacks a bit of tact, he is not as bad as he seems. After a couple of bumps with him in the castle, I discovered that the cold-blooded prince loves wild animals more than ponies. Save for a few exceptions, which are his family and a few ponies he trusts.
I don't know what made him act that way, but I decided not to antagonize him because of his way of dealing with ponies. And one more thing, I asked Princess Celestia about the rumors, and she told me that he is still a virgin. Yep, the most desired bachelor of Canterlot with the worst reputation possible never touched another pony that way. Who would have thought it?
In any case, I apologized for the bump before going on my merry way and wishing him a good day. I kept out of his way, he kept out of mine. Simple and clean, which was the opposite of how I would end up as after the next step in my routine. Since I looked frail to the point of breaking, I decided to do something about it. So, I started meeting Storm Wall during my independent studies time. Celestia thought it would be a good idea for me to seek the knowledge I desired in addition to what she had to offer me. The old PE teacher of the academy. He is a pegasus with a serious workout routine to be as strong as he can be. The only problem is the fact that he is as stubborn as a mule.
I knew he was the stallion to turn to because of who his son is. A pegasus with a ridiculously muscular body and stupidly high stamina. However, he is held back by the minuscule wings that have to move at the speed of a bee's wings to keep him afloat, his name is Snowflake. So, for the past few days, I've been visiting his house and asking him to give me some directions on how to increase my stamina and make some slight improvements to my strength. And the response I got each time was a door to my face.
Therefore, I assumed the following strategy: if he won't teach me how to get in better shape, I'll just do push-ups in front of his house until I tire out. Progress has been slow, however, I noticed the Storm paid attention to me and took notes while I was doing push-ups in his lawn. And I hoped that today he would break and come to me. Knocking on his door, I waited for him to appear.
"You're here again," He muttered after opening the door.
"Will you teach me how to get in better shape, Mr. Wall, sir?" I asked with the usual enthusiasm.
"Get this thing and be on your way," He said while shoving some papers to me before shutting the door on my face.
Yes! I'm getting to him! I celebrated while opening the paper. It was a series of exercises with the exact number of series I should make per day. There was even a progression table of how I should increase the number of exercises I should do based on my growth rate. Someone went the extra mile. Alright! Time to do this. The school's Gym should have the things I'll need. YEEAH! I celebrated mentally while running back to the Academy.
I regret this decision. I thought while dragging the assigned weight back and forward in the gym. My arms were burning from the push-ups. My abdomen hurt from all the sit-ups. My legs felt like they were made of lead from the running. According to the plan Storm set for me, the first thing I needed was to get strong enough to move to cardio exercises. And that detail meant he remembered my request to focus on my stamina more than my strength. The situation could only be made worse if there were a bunch of mares staring at the colt that was working too hard for a stallion. Oh, wait. The school has mainly mares.
"Kid, are you ok there?" One of the seniors asked while I finished dragging the weight to its designated spot.
"Y-yes," I said gasping before using my telekinesis to pull my water bottle and taking a sip. "J-just, training."
"Why are you even training?" She asked putting her towel behind her neck. "You're a unicorn and a colt. You don't need physical prowess. Why aren't you in home economics or the cooking club?" The yellow pegasus asked with a smirk.
"M-my father already helps me with cooking lessons," I replied while placing the bottle back in its place. "A sound heart lies within a sound body and a sound mind. I already have the mind bit taken care of. Meaning I need to do something about the body," I replied before moving to the treadmill for the last bit of exercises for the day. Thirty minutes of running.
After I got my mark, it took about a month or two for me to start growing up. Let me tell you, it felt great to be the same size as the rest of the children, even if Cadance still holds me like a teddy bear. She hasn't stopped growing since the day I met her. She isn't as tall as Celestia, but she is getting close to her height in the show (I'm making an estimate here since she used to be a four-legged creature and she is now bipedal).
"Are you trying to be as strong as a mare?" The yellow pegasus, who I believe was Spitfire, asked while taking the treadmill for adults (yeah, they have one size for kids and one for adults, I am grateful for that).
"No. My potential is in magic," I replied while trying to keep my breathing steady. "I just want to make sure I can run and at least carry things without using runes to reduce their weight. And not having to rely on telekinesis to move every object I want to carry. That's lazy," I explained earning a laugh from Spitfire as she picked up the pace into a full sprint.
She kept speeding up more and more while I tried to keep a steady pace. She's probably trying to discourage me. Too bad it will backfire in a bit. If we were on the racing track, she would probably run past me two or three times. Here it comes. I mused as I watched the inevitable happen. Suddenly, Spitfire let out a gasp as her right leg seemed to cramp. Amidst her confusion, she forgot to fly and tripped. The treadmill was moving too fast for her to land safely.
Using my magic, I stopped her from falling while keeping up with my exercise. And then, I moved her off the treadmill before placing her on the floor. I looked at the timer on my treadmill and saw that I had reached the thirty-minute mark. I stopped it and then got off while breathing heavily with my shoulders.
"Try eating bananas. I hear they do wonders for cramps," I said to Spitfire, who was still staring at me with a confused look, before heading to the showers. I was drenched in sweat and that made me feel uncomfortable.
After getting that part of the day done, I headed out of the gym. On my way out, however, I noticed two things. First, Spitfire was fuming and working harder than when I got there; talk about a blow to the pride. Second, Storm Wall was waiting for me outside of the gym.
"You followed my routine down to the last letter," He said with a frown.
He watched the entire thing?
"I asked for directions. You gave me what I asked. Why wouldn't I follow it?" I asked while tilting my head.
"I take that you only have a few days available to work on your body. Seeing as you only come by two times a week. Am I right?" He asked while keeping a stern look on his face.
"Yes. I have lessons on the other days," I replied before Storm Wall pulled a new set of papers from his pockets. "Here. This is a routine that fits your schedule and won't overwork you like the one I gave you."
Did he just admit he gave me more than I could chew?
"I won't waste my time with a kid that will cut their work in half when no one is looking," He said while placing his hand on my head. "But you're a good one. That should get you to where you want to go. If you need more advice on that front, my door is open."
Smiling at him, I hugged him before heading home. On my way back, I took a peek at the exercise routine. The instructions were clearer and the exercises were things I could do at home. There were special sets of exercises for when I could hit the gym as well as a sleep schedule to help me optimize my rest.
I don't understand why he retired.
When I got home, I found mother looking at some adds for caretakers. Father, on the other hand, was looking at lodgings for Las Pegasus.
"What's going on?" I asked after locking the door.
"Oh, hello, son," Father replied without taking his eyes of the catalogs. "I'm checking the lodging that is nearest to the Galla Exposition."
"The what now?" I inquired while raising an eyebrow as I placed my gym clothes on the laundry.
"It's a gathering for fashionistas where they show dresses fit for the Grand Galloping Galla," Mother replied while crumbling an add for a caretaker. "I'm running an entire line of dresses this year, so I need to go. It's a great way to advertise my works."
I can think of someone who dreams of participating that. I mused while picking one of the adds.
"If you're looking for a caretaker, why don't you ask Cadance?" I inquired while placing the pamphlet on the desk.
"Who is Cadance?" Mother asked with a curious smirk.
"She is the student council president. And Celestia's niece. I just thought that, since she takes care of the kids at school, she could handle taking care of one or two kids," I said before being caught from behind by Gleaming, who then proceeded to mess with my mane while holding me in a lock.
"I saw you at the gym today! Are you planning to be a soldier too, little bro?" She said while making sure I didn't escape.
"No! I'm trying to at least carry my things without having runes sneaked into my bag!" I replied while trying to get off her grip.
"Oh, I can feel your fingers. You're doing a good job then. You barely had the strength to grip my arm before," She said while letting me go. "I also saw that thing with Spitfire. Nice job turning that around on her. She was breathing fire when I left."
"Hello, Gleaming," Mother greeted. Earning a wave from sis, mom turned her attention to me. " You were saying?"
"You can try and talk to Cadance about the caretaker thing," I replied before doing a light kick on Gleaming's leg. "How's Barb doing?"
"She is ok. Still sleeping though," Mom answered while scratching her chin. "She sleeps most of the time. But she also seems to be growing."
Well, Celestia did say that dragons have a peculiar way of hatching their eggs. Maybe magic hatching has some side effects? Even when she clung to me, she was fast asleep. I should ask Celestia about this later. I pondered while scratching my chin. Spike was important in the story, so I need to make sure Barb was healthy. Not to mention that she is adorable and I will kill anyone that hurts her.
"Well, sweetie, if you can bring Cadance tomorrow I'll see what I'll do," Mom replied while I nodded.
"Ok! I'll head to my room then," I replied before climbing the stairs.
And another piece of the timeline is placed! I celebrated before laying on my bed and waiting for dinner. Now I just have to invite Cadance to come by because of the job. Everything will go smoothly!
What in the flying fuck happened last night?
Dropping my jaw on the floor, I tried to process the image before me. Cadance, somehow, in some miraculous way, turned into an alicorn overnight. That is insane! I talked to her two days ago and she was soo insecure about her mark! It had to do with her friends who she managed to get together and then they began to fight; I motivated her to try and reason with each of them separately. Then she disappeared for a day, now she came back with a horn on her forehead and she is about as tall as her counterpart in the show!
"So, um, this happened," She said while we sat in the cafeteria. "I am a Princess now," She said meekly. "I tried to reason with them, as you said, and then I got a high fever. When I woke up today, I had a horn."
DID I DO THAT? Wh-bu-how? I mused while staring at her horn.
"Tia says that I found my true calling. And that I performed something special. That caused the transformation," Cadance explained while fiddling with her thumbs. "I'm happy that my talent was right. But, now everyone is staring at me. All the time."
Hearing those words, I shook my head sideways to snap out of my confusion. "Well, you are the second alicorn to ever exist since the banishment of Nightmare Moon. I guess the others are just as surprised as you are, that's all," I said while swinging my legs under the table.
"I received the proposal of seven nobles since I reached the school today. They are breaking into the school to ask me," She said with her head hanging low.
I don't think I'm qualified to handle this!
"Can't you ask Princess Celestia for advice? You two are on the same rank now. You can probably waltz in the throne room, and no one would stop you," I proposed while poking my food with a fork.
"She is too busy preparing the coronation. I'm on my own," Cadance replied while poking her food with a fork.
Geez! She's never been like this! What do I do?!
"I'm not sure what to say," I replied while dropping the fork. "I'm eight years old. And a commoner. The only reason I'm here is that I nearly blew up the examination room on my test. I'm not a royal and I don't know what you're going through. For Celestia's sake, I came to talk to you because my parents need a caretaker. But I think that's out of the question now," I said while looking at the table.
"I'll take it," Cadance replied with a low tone.
"What?"
"I'll take the job if your mother will have me. Anything to get out of the castle for a while," She shot back while staring at me. "Besides," She said before flaring up her magic and dragging me into a hug. "Then I get to snuggle my teddy bear!"
I'm getting Celestia flashbacks here!
"Can't breathe," I whimpered before Cadance loosened the hug.
"Sorry," She said with a chuckle. "I'm still getting used to my strength. And tia said my body will change in the following days."
"When did you learn telekinesis?" I asked while suspended in her arms.
"Oh, Tia gave me the basic knowledge through a ritual today after class started. She also gave me knowledge of some basic spells. But it took the wind out of her. She even excused herself from her duties for the day," Cadance explained while squishing me before placing me on the table again.
"Wait, if she is resting now, how is she planning your coronation?" I asked while tilting my head at her.
"That is why the coronation was delayed," She said with a half-smile.
"Oh, got it," I replied widening my eyes at the response. "Was it that bad?"
"She walked to her room as if she was drunk," Cadance replied with a chuckle.
"Ok," I replied while trying to shake the image of a drunken Celestia walking around the castle out of my mind. "I guess I'll see you after my lessons today then?"
"Yes. I bet it will be much better than anything the palace has to offer right now," Cadance said while frowning at the situation.
Yay. I guess I set things in the right path...again. Seriously though, what the hell Cadance?
The rest of the day was about as doable as one would expect. Gossip all around the school, everyone freaking out at the mere sight of Cadance. Suddenly a bunch of stallions appearing in the school grounds with flowers and fawning over her at every corner. Then it was time for me to have my private lessons. Nothing new.
After arriving at the designated room, I opened up the door. On the other side, I met a sleeping Celestia as she laid in a cushion by the fireplace. She looks so peaceful. I should get a blanket for her. I mused while looking around the room. I found a small cabinet with a handful of fluffy blankets. Based on their size, I assumed them to be hers. Walking over to Celestia's body, I used my magic and my hands to cover her with the blanket.
I guess the ritual must have taken more out of her than she realized. I better go out before. A sudden yank from an unknown force caused me to be crushed in a bear hug.
"Soft, bear," Celestia muttered while holding me the same way Cadance used to. Celestia held tightly me against her chest for a few seconds squeezing me hard before bringing me close to her face. I swear that she smells like vanilla. Once I was close to her face, she pressed the back of my head against her neck. Placing her muzzle in between my ears, she snuggled me like a stuffed animal.
"Good, little pet," She muttered before getting close to one of my ears and biting it softly. I felt ticklish as she nibbled at my ear softly as if to not draw blood. She breathed a bit harder for a few seconds after that, and then let me go.
Scrambling away, I rushed to the door as quietly as I could while my heart pounded like a jackhammer in my chest. My body felt tingly and I wanted to chuckle at the feeling in my ear. But I was afraid that if I did that, Celestia would wake up and see me there. Therefore, I rushed out of the room before blinking as fast as I could to reach home. Though, I had to stop mid-way to meet with Cadance. Then we left to my house so she could meet my mother.
Standing by the front door, Mom greeted us with a smile.
"Hello! You must be Cadance," Mother said while offering her hand.
"A pleasure," Cadance answered wholeheartedly. "Your son is adorable."
"Of course he is," Mom replied with excitement.
And now they are besties. I don't know if that's good for me or bad.
Then we proceeded to have the most embarrassing conversation ever as my mom proceeded to pull pictures of me as a baby. And talking about how fragile I was and how careful Cadance had to be. Yeah, four words and a hand-shake was enough to win my Mother. I swear, it' almost as if mom had decided for Cadance to be with me. She is sixteen! I'm eight! Then again, I have a. NO! As for my father, she just had to win my mother. The only one missing was Gleaming Shield.
"Hey, Dusk! I found some weights you can use in my stuff," Gleaming said while heading down the stairs. "Oh, Cadance is here. The new princess in town. Do you need anything?"
"Cadance here will be your little brother's caretaker while we head to the Galla Exposition," Mother replied while coming closer to the stairs.
"Oh. Is that so?" Gleaming asked before going upstairs. "Have a good night."
What is up with her? She should be head over heels for. Wait. Don't tell me that she is going to her room to hide? I thought before sneaking upstairs. It would be better than standing by another section of How to take care of Dusk SHine by Velvet. The moment I opened the door, I saw Gleaming, training.
"What are you doing?" I asked while standing by the door.
"Trying to catch up," Gleaming said in between breaths.
"To who?" I asked while walking into the room. I honestly didn't understand why Gleaming was training so hard. She was strong as any other mare.
"To the little star that takes the lead in here," Gleaming said before patting my head. "You're a strong caster, a genius kid, and you're trying to get stronger physically."
"Nope," I said while sitting by her side while she did sit-ups.
"What?" Gleaming said while stopping mid-sit-up.
"I'm not a genius. I'm a regular caster. I only got into the school because of an explosion that made me go into a panic attack," I said while tilting my head. "Not to mention, if I'm talented to learn a bunch of spells, that doesn't mean I'll ever be able to master any of them to the point you have mastered your shield spells. Don't you get it? You got into the Academy on your own. You mastered almost all of the defensive spells currently known. And I'm sure you're gonna make a new spell that's ought to blow every single mage in the academy away," I explained before scratching the back of my head.
"I can't say I know why you think that highly of me," I continued before laying on my back. "But I know you're a lot stronger than me. Both you and mom reinforce that idea every day. I'm trying to better myself so I can stand on my own. And now, I know someone that needs someone strong as you to help them out in school. I don't know why you're at odds with Cadance. But she needs help. I can't help her, but you can."
Staring at me for several seconds, Gleaming smiled at me before returning to her sit-ups. "Thanks for the pep-talk."
I think I just spouted a lot of mumbo-jumbo mixed with facts and a bit of cringy dialogue from an RPG personal link. What am I doing here? I need to find a better way to talk to others. Good lord, I monologued.
"Dusk! Gleaming! Time for dinner!" Mom called from downstairs.
And that was the cue to another session of my mother and Cadance fawning over how to take care of me. Although, it wasn't all bad. Gleaming started to partake in the conversation. They were small remarks and chuckles, but it progressed from the silent treatment to small interactions. That is a win in my book.
On the following day, nothing out of the ordinary happened. I did my studies and dealt with the exercise routine. I doubt anything will happen this soon, but I'm committed to it. The good news is that I saw Cadance and Gleaming talking in school. My sister even stood up against a stranger that got a bit forceful against Cadance. She didn't need to do that, but she did. And that is AMAZING. That is another positive score for me!
Anyhow, today I heard that we will have a special visit to the largest weather factory in Equestria in two days. Guess where it is? Cloudsdale. Guess what else is in Cloudsdale? Flight camp! And that means that there are two mares I can meet there! The spirits of kindness and loyalty!
That's what you would expect me to say, right?
Well, here is the thing: the flight camp is on the opposite side of the town. Meaning, I would need to cross the entire town, on my own, to meet them. And guess who is not going to walk around town without a guide? ME. As tempting as ensuring certain things happen is, I'm not about to risk getting kidnapped or anything of the sort to do something that will happen later on. I mean, look at Gleaming and Cadance. They are living proof that the world has a set path ready for us. I just made a few bumps here and there.
Another thing to take note: apparently, nibbling the ear of another pony seems to be a friendly gesture. I didn't read it anywhere, because there is no book on social gestures (how I hate that fact). This is a conclusion based solely on the observation of several interactions between ponies. Although, it seems to be a more common practice amongst two mares. I've only seen this gesture happening with a stallion once. And he was with a mare that gave him a box of chocolates. Meaning I can probably try this with someone I care about. But I'll cross that bridge when I come around the confidence to get that close to someone. For now, I like to keep others at arm's length (that does not include family).
I forgot something. Celestia noticed that she missed my class yesterday, therefore, she came up to me to apologize. I told her about me going there and finding her sleeping. Then I mentioned the blanket I placed on her. She asked if anything else happened, and that is when I told her "no". Because I'm a liar. I simply couldn't bring myself to tell her that she snuggled me like a teddy bear and nibbled my ear. Not to mention the pet thing. As delightful as the feeling of being embraced by her was, I am a child. And based on her actions so far, she would probably feel guilty for that.
I guess you can say an uneventful day is a good day for me. Considering the madness that is my life for these past two years.
Ok, how to begin this?
In the show I watched, there is a small "where is waldo?" thing hidden in every episode. That is a gray mare with a golden mane. She is cross-eyed and tends to cause accidents whenever she is on the screen. She was also beloved by the fans and they gave her a family. A running gag with her is the accidents surrounding her, and her love for muffins.
Well, she crash-landed into our group. And by that, I mean she hit me hard enough to toss us against a building. Luckily, the buildings are made of clouds, therefore, I phased through it. Later that day I learned that its a security measure against aerial accidents. Therefore, all buildings allow ponies to phase through them if they hit them with enough force. But that does not remove the fact that in the middle of the accident, she landed with her butt on my face while she sat up straight. I swear that mare is made out of metal, cause I passed out from the impact, but she kept shaking me until I woke up.
"I'm sorry!" She yelled at me while shaking my body like a ragdoll. How are mares so strong in here? I swear she nearly gave me whiplash.
The violent shakes were enough to wake me, thank god. Because, when I came to, she was about to try CPR me. Thankfully, I put my hand on her face, which caused her to stop before trying anything else.
"I'm ok!" I exclaimed before she hugged me.
"Thank Celestia you're ok! I'm so sorry! I'm always causing accidents," She said with her head hanging low, her left eye shook sideways. "I was running a course at flight camp. But I think I got lost. And then I did it again. Maybe I should stay at home as everyone else tells me."
I will say, I felt bad for her. But I can't change her eyes or anything like that. So, I did the best thing I could think at the moment. "It's ok. I'm no hurt. And accidents happen all the time. How about this: next time someone tells you that you're only good for causing accidents, you retort with, you can say that I'm only good for causing accidents if you never caused an accident in your life!" I replied while putting on a brave face. However, I was breaking on the inside.
Too close! Too close! She is kinda cute, but too fucking close!
Backing away, Derpy blinked a few times before tilting her head at me. "You're not gonna ask?"
"Ask about what?" I inquired while getting up.
"My eye," She said while I helped her up.
"Why would I ask about that? They're there and you can see. And one of them reminds me of doll-eyes. What's the big deal?" I asked while heading back to the group. We didn't go very deep into the building, so getting out was easy. Once I was back with my group, Derpy and I parted ways. However, before leaving she asked my name. After giving her my answer, she continued on her own.
Maybe I can figure something out to help with depth perception? Although, I would also need something to compensate for the information her cross-eye sends. Well, once I get to more advanced spells I might be able to pull something off. Maybe I can try and play Starlight's trick and mish-mash some spells together. The first thing I'll try is mending and prestidigitation.
Lesson time!
The tour through the weather factory was amazing. The base material for most of the weather elements they produce is water. Water that comes from two sources: one, wild clouds that form over masses of water (they have special scouts for collecting those); two, a massive tornado that is caused by a flock of pegasuses once a year. The second one requires a force, which is measured in wing-power, of eight hundred to be formed; this tornado sends a tower of water to Cloudsdale's reservoir.
With that water, the pegasuses produce clouds, rainstorms, rainbows, snowflakes and so forth. We weren't allowed into the storm sections, but we got to see the work on the snowflakes. Which, by the way, is the physical manifestation of OCD. The weather factory hires hundreds of artists to create designs for every snowflake they create. At least ten different designs each. Once they are done, a specialist analyzes the drawings and eliminates any drawings that have a minimum of seventy percent similarity. With those designs in hands, each pegasus in the winter section receives at least fifteen different designs to recreate in the icicles the flake depicted. Yeah, in this world, every snowflake is unique due to someone's hard work.
That is insane! And to make things crazier, their level of control over the weather neutralizes most natural disasters! Not to mention that can could easily drought villages and also starve them if they wanted. It's scary to even think what they could do us if they suddenly decided to ditch the country. I'm glad that pegasuses tend to be very prideful and loyal to what they believe in, otherwise, we would be screwed.
The tour was cut short when a kid thought it was a good idea to try and drink the rainbow. He ended up spitting fire like a dragon for a good ten minutes. I think there was an item in a fighting game that made something similar. That game was awesome. On our way back, I swear I saw someone that looked like Fluttershy diving in the distance. However, I wasn't anywhere close to her so I couldn't see them and make sure it was her.
And that was my first visit to the weather factory! It was awesome to learn about how those clouds get to us. And I did get some neat ideas while we were there. Maybe I'll put them to practice one day! But for now, I'll just write some ideas down to remember them later.
List of spells to mish-mash:
-Prestidigitation x Mending.
-Pass without a trace x Blink.
Author's Note
YEAHHHH! GET IT!
Ok, guys! Let me know what you think!
