It has been so long since I have roamed these lands, I wonder if I remembered in anything more than legend. I looked around the city, Canterlot I believe. The buildings were much taller than I thought they would be, and the fact of seeing a changelings in the streets alongside ponies was odd. I was interrupted from my musings by a grey Earth Pony carrying a cello “Hello, who are you?”

I bowed “Grogar milady. I have been away from Equestria for some time, I was hoping to see how it had changed since I was last here.”

The mare bowed “My name is Octavia, I am a classical musician in Canterlot. I can show you around if you would like?”

I smiled “Well then Octavia, I will take you up on that offer.” She smiled at me and I smiled back. Still she reminded me of the Gusty the Great Sage of Wind, my greatest student. She alongside her fellow Great Sages, my other students tried to destroy me. I shook my head “I was just thinking about something but I want to see the city.”

Octavia guided us to a small little shop near the grandiose castle grounds, as we entered I looked around at the small little building. Ponies were eating round things of different colours with holes in the middle. I frowned “What is this place and what are they eating?”

Octavia raised an eyebrow “This a donut shop, they everywhere. I will say that Donut Joe’s is the best thought. I’m surprised you don’t know about them.”

I shook my head “I haven’t been in Equestria since my final magic student Starswirl decided to venture off on his own. To explore magic in his own way.” I wonder what happened to Starswirl, I turned to Octavia who was clearly stunned. I raised an eyebrow “Why are you so surprised?”

Octavia took a moment to regain her composure before frowning “At the parties with nobles that I have attended that speak of Starswirl as the master of all magic and the greater sorcerer to ever live.”

I rubbed my chin with a hoof “I suppose after Discord’s little chaos party I would be little more than a legend. He was the student I had taken on long before Starswirl, he became the strongest of my students event though he had little focus.” I conjured up a rubber chicken in my hoof “He liked fighting with these, challenging everyone to duels and hitting them with rubber chickens.”

I turned around slapping Discord through a wall with the rubber chicken. I then summoned a shield of cotton candy to block the Discord’s rubber chicken “Excuse me, Octavia but I must deal with this charlatan.” I knocked him out of the building once more, I leapt out “As silly as ever Discord.”

Discord grinned “You know it!”

I sighed, he was so getting spanked later. We moved through the streets of the city, exchanging blows of our rubber chickens. We are interrupted by a little human in a raincoat, Discord pouts as he teleported away. I bowed “My name is Grogar, master of magic for over ten millennia. Thought it seems that my talents have been forgotten because of my wayward student of Chaos.”

The little human nodded “I’m Sarah, you taught Discord about chaos. That sounds like a challenge.”

I smirked “It was. He is a terrible student, always late to private lessons. Tries to prank me at every opportunity and of course fighting everyone with rubber chickens. It’s the only way to get his attention is to hit him with a rubber chicken. I can give you one if you like?”

Sarah shook her head “No thanks, but I would like you to teach me more about magic. I have some knowledge but I would like to learn some more.”

I rubbed my chin before grinning “It’s been a while since I taught anyone magic, I could do that but I would like a room in the castle. Nothing fancy, just a plain room to sleep in. I haven’t slept in a proper bed in a little over a millennia.”

Sarah smiled “I can arrange that, follow me to the castle. I can get you settled in, when I’m not at at lessons you can do anything as long as it’s not illegal.” I followed towards Canterlot Castle, when we entered it was everything I expected it to be. I raised an eyebrow as we passed an Alicorn with a flaming mane, her Cutie Mark was that of the sun but it was orange and red, and the claws and thick fur were something that didn’t fit with what I knew of Alicorns.

I shook my head, I could ask about that later. I saw a dark blue Alicorn approaching us, she glared at me “Grogar!”

I bowed “I fear you have me at a disadvantage, may you at least tell me your name before trying to take my head.”

Luna glared at me “I am Princess Luna, I assist young Sarah in running Equestria. She has quite a bit to learn.” She scowled “Now what bring the Father of Monsters and Lord of Evil to our Equestria.”

I facehooved “Still believing in Gusty’s rhetoric, I taught Gusty everything she knows about magic. She likely told some story about how I was evil to promote the pony superiority was rife even back then. The ponies in that age are not any more perfect than the ones of this age, relying on old legends to dictate the future of the world will only end in failure.”

Luna’s face scrunched up before she sighed “I see your point.” She frowned “If your truly intended harm your would have caused it by now. Sarah has decided to trust you and that is enough for me, she can handle herself quite well.” I nodded as she trotted away, we continued through the castle to a simple room. The bed was plain but comfortable looking, a small wardrobe and bathroom were attached to the room. I was going to enjoy staying here.
