Chapter 1 | Magic?... MAGIC!!!

Wells... I take it upon myself to go over my whole situation just to confirm with myself about this crazy situation.

First, yesterday I had been invited to a party by these friends from work, it sounded interesting, I had known them for a while, and I wanted to stop being so introverted, so I decided to go and enjoy the moment, but without drinking alcohol or smoking, it's not my thing, but I had fun the whole first half of the party... Then it began.

Someone decided it would be fun to drug everyone and went around giving drugs or leaving in other people's drinks, by the time I realized it, I was already out of control with my loose limitations, I did things I wouldn't do in any other normal situation, I was more daring, but also crazy, I remember spending the night with some women with a similar situation to me... I didn't enjoy any of that with my senses altered, luckily, I didn't vomit on anyone or make a fool of myself easily, all right until 5 in the morning... After that I don't remember anything until I woke up just now... in another place, another body, another race and another age.

When I regained consciousness, the first thing I noticed was the sweet smell of nature, the cool breeze sweeping through the room, and the soft sheets that surround me like a burrito, an iconic way of sleeping for as long as I can remember.

Everything normal, so far, should be, but the smell of nature was the first strike, then it was when I opened my eyes and observed the room totally unknown to me, the third strike was a combination of seeing my body and hearing my high-pitched, childlike voice when I screamed scared.

"AAA!!" The scream was out of my control, which I quickly recovered from as I explored my new situation as I sat on the edge of my blue bed with a light blue sheet with star details and two big hexagrams.

"MY COLT! ARE YOU FINE??!!" A more mature and obviously manly adult voice sounded all over the place that I now know well is not my apartment and I am in a family home inside the body of a child.

Without giving me time to panic, a flash of light filled the room, and shortly afterwards a man... Horse? with a tie and a pipe stood in front of me as I scoured my state in search of whatever it was that made me scream.

"Huh, I'm fine~?" I replied a little worried, not knowing how to react.

"Then why did you scream -" At first the man spoke in the form of a question, but his voice was choked in silence as his eyes widened more and more as he watched me and I watched him the same, we looked at each other for a few seconds.

"DEAR!! OUR FOAL SPOKE!!" My ears were shaken by the man's loud cry of happiness, and I felt how they were hiding trying to lessen the pain... Do I have movable ears? My gaze was drawn to the man's head where a pair of ears were wagging in joy along with a tail at the man's waist.

Observing the most, I could see that he has a coat like horses would be, his coat was totally white with only a gray cross shaped spot on his forehead where there was... A horn.

So distracted was I seeing the couple's features that I began to compare them with my own, which I could now observe in the mirror in the room.

"My dear, Wizbell speak! He said it was fine, but the important thing is that he looked me in the eyes, and they had life, curiosity, above all feelings" My mind came back to reality when I heard the name Wizbell which made me have the same reaction as when... I hear my name

"You're not playing a bad joke on me, are you?" Tears began to form in the woman/mare who looked at me with great concern and looked for her partner to make sure what she said was real.

*Gasp!* The mare let out a gasp of happiness, at first I didn't understand until I saw my reflection in the mirror where I could see my head that I had tilted because of my confusion with one ear raised alert with the other hidden in my wavy golden hair because it was long, with a small white horn peeking out over my forehead between my hair and my eyes just as golden-

In the face of the unreal I tried to blink a lot to see if they had changed at some point, but they didn’t, and this only seemed to cheer up the couple who were now crying tears of joy.

"My foal, my little star, is finally okay" The mare's voice broke through her cries as she looked at me with love just like the man. "I don't understand."

Frightened, I placed my hands over my mouth as if I wanted to reject what I said... I don’t understand why my behavior is so different. I jolted out of my mind as the man cleared his throat and regained a seriousness that for a reason also affected me.

"My colt, you just have to know that we, your parents, are infinitely happy that you are okay, as you told me before and we hope it stays like this, just... still fine and don't worry about our outburst, come, let's go to the living room while we wait for your mother to finish cooking the breakfast" By reflex or instinct, I followed the horse man.

My mind goes crazy with questions formed in my head about such an absurd situation... But the more I walked around the house, the more I felt my situation when I saw the pictures... of the old Wizbell or the empty shell of Wizbell more I understood how empty “I” was when I saw the eyes in the photos and the color of the coat.

Her parents in all the photos were cheerful, with lively and colorful eyes, but Wizbell... It's horrible when I put into perspective what life would be like for these parents with a child... Not a child and just a doll with basic needs, Wizbell has been like that since he was born when I look at the baby photos where he was dark gray.

Now that I realize that I don't have feet anymore, now I have hooves and my hands are fluffy and soft because of my coat that covers them, but the fur there is much shorter and thinner, and for some reason I have the same sensory capacity as when I was human even with all the coat in my hands... I hardly feel uncomfortable realizing that I'm not wearing clothes.

I returned to my bedroom once "my father" was reading the newspaper that he had thrown earlier on the coffee table, I entered my room and thank the gods, there was a closet full of clothes... Just like 10 sets, all childish obviously, but just take a blue sweater with a purple octagon on the back with several different symbols for the rest of the sweater.

I've been a sweater boy all my life and having one on me, it gave me all the peace of mind and security that clothes can give to a human... I'm not anymore, but it still works for me, I didn't wear pants or shorts because of a piece that I discovered I have over my pelvis and it serves to hide my package, because when I took it off, the piece of "magic" fabric turned a gray color and I could appreciate my private parts and my stick having a cover now, I felt like a Jedi for a microsecond until I put the piece in place, with my private parts hidden, I don't need shorts or pants.

When I returned to the living room, my father watched me in silence and hid his mouth with his newspaper, I could only see the smoke of his pipe, then he continued reading once he made sure I was still fine... Guess.

I want to ask him about how he teleported, but I still don't feel confident enough to do so, so explore the place a bit more to see if I find anything interesting.

I explored the whole house except the kitchen, I couldn't, my new mother blocked the entrance with some magic "It's a surprise, so wait little more" my father told me from his couch, I could only let out a snort and I kept exploring until I accepted that there is no internet and there are no computers in this house, so resigned I saw the collection of books that is on the shelf behind Will Stone's sofa, My father's name that I noticed from his shelf of awards and titles.

My mother's name is Alegria, a little surprise when I discovered her name means happiness in Spanish, I didn't think I would find that language here, I ignored it and continued to go through the titles of the books with my index finger, looking for something interesting.

"Romance... Theory of Destiny... How to make Cupcakes... How to Make Your Foal Happy... How to Raise a Foal" The books didn't have any specific order on the shelf, which made my search difficult.

I felt the smile form on my face the moment I took the book off the shelf with the title [Magic for Foals 101].

I trembled with excitement as I settled on the carpet with a pillow on my chest, ready to read the book and introduce myself to a whole new world, I heard a strange sound like the trigger pulling something, but I ignored it because of my greater interest in the book which I quickly opened and went to the beginning of the first chapter of the book which was only the introduction about what magic is.

The tingling in my chest only increased for every second I spent reading the book, I absorbed the information easily, so long I had longed for magic, but it was a desire I could never satisfy because in my previous world it was something that maybe didn't exist and it was just myths and tales, but here it's something real, tangible and malleable.

My euphoria could not be measured as I tried to absorb all the knowledge that the book could bring me, by bad luck, the book as indicated is for foals, so it contains many illustrations and few deep explanations, apart from having very little content in exchange for simplifying all the information, my reading and comprehension speed has always been very high and right now that made it quite an inconvenience.

Anguish filled me when I finished reading the book, it was easily overcome when I thought of performing the basic spells that every foal should know.

[Light] A magic that is more of a little party trick, as one only light up their own horn with magic by concentrating the magic on it.

[Telekinesis] Another magic that every Unicorn should know for their daily life, is to impose their will and ideas on magic to move things around them.

Two magics that fall within the System of Magic and not of Spells, but also very necessary to master and fundamental once I started to think about what benefits they give in a foal learning that magic at such a young age.

Chapter 2 | 'A normal morning'

Just in case, I go back to the light magic section.

Look at the illustrations, but the explanations are on a similar level, understanding the idea wasn't difficult.

With the book closed in front of me, I decided to do something that I had read many times, meditate, so I calmly sat on the floor in the position that is most comfortable for me right now, while concentrating on my horn, to do that, I have to become fully aware of my horn like when one discovers a wound.

*Tic... Tac...*

Something blurry moved in my vision even though I shouldn't be able to see something with my eyes closed.

The darkness that filled my vision, was interrupted several times when I saw something golden move and escape my mental focus, I couldn’t concentrate my eyes on that, but at that moment I could feel that it was guiding something towards my horn after several seconds or minutes of trying, it became easier and easier to gather this energy, I could feel how I was close to performing real mag-- "Wizbell!! Come and have breakfast!"

All my concentration was destroyed the moment I was called by my new mother, out of habit I opened my eyes and directed my gaze towards my mother, only to see her standing at the entrance of the kitchen now without the magic wall, allowing me to see the dining room and the kitchen behind.

The table was filled with several cupcakes placed in the shape of a pyramid.

My priorities were clear when I got up from my place to go wash my hands... I took a few steps until I felt confused for a moment as to whether I should do that or not, as my hands would end up very wet from my coat, plus I'm a unicorn and I have magic!

I turned to look at my father's adult exemplar according to his trophies and he just waved me around to follow him into the kitchen.

My father continued to read his newspaper while magically he brought a cupcake to his mouth, my mother on the other hand was using her hands as she leans on the table while watching me intriguingly waiting for me to taste her food.

It was a comfortable silence that filled the house as I only focused my gaze on the cupcakes, several ideas passed over my head to use Telekinesis which should be a second natural ability for a Unicorn, but that would be an Adult, I am still very young... 7 years in fact.

I took a lot of air into my lungs and as a ritual I have done in my previous life if this is not a dream, I expelled the air from my body along with all the restlessness and unnecessary feelings leaving behind a total concentration on the focus of using my magic to bring a cupcake to me, I rested my hand on my stomach politely to avoid making bad habits of making hand signs to use magic, it is a good help, but when I am older I will have to eliminate that habit, better to avoid it now, I have the patience of a young adult, something much better than that of a hyperactive child and desperate for instant results.

So far, I had not been able to perform magic because of the previous interruption, but the confidence to achieve it and the desire was in me ready to do magic, with the little practicality I possess I gathered magic in my horn.

My vision was filled with a golden hue along with a warm feeling on my forehead.

The tingling in my horn was the signal and the trigger to perform all the steps, 1.- Gather magic, 2.- Give it a focus and 3.- Activate it or release the magic and let it complete its task.

It was strange to be able to feel the cupcake without using my hands, a completely alien feeling for me, but I didn't let it distract me as I controlled the magic as best I could to draw the cupcake to me.

The cupcake wobbled all the way, sometimes I almost lost focus and let go of the cupcake, but I managed to bring it in front of me and enjoy a sweet bite.

"Mmm~~!" Close my eyes as I enjoy the sweet taste of well-matched tropical fruits and the euphoria of making magic.

"This delicious mommy!" I opened my eyes and congratulated my new mom as I took another bite of the cupcake that was bigger than my hands.

*Trigger* A blinding flash hit me in the eyes catching me off guard and when I regained my vision, I could see my two new parents happily looking at two photographs of a contraption similar to a Camera, this had just printed a few photographs of me, this surprised me and at the same time not, but it made a silly and cheerful smile show on my face when I felt again that comfort that only a family can give, something I hadn't felt for a long time and thought I'd lost.

Laughter rang out throughout the house, filling my heart with joy and hope that this sweet dream would not be compromised by reality or nightmares.

In the end I only ended up eating 3 cupcakes before I had to wash my hands to continue, as I had wasted too much magic by my poor control, my mom dry my hands with a spell.

My parents were elated as they watched me react, I could only show a silly smile.

After a few more laughs, we all finished breakfast, out of habit I ended up helping to clean the dishes, although it turned out that it was unnecessary.

"Thank you so much, honey, but I can do it alone, look" When I looked up there was a row of dishes moving as they were cleaned and placed on the shelves.

"Woah~ Amazing, and I can barely drag a cupcake here" I looked my hand until my father called us.

"Because we didn't go out for a hike, the weather team indicated that today would be a very pleasant morning" my father said from the frame of the dining room/kitchen entrance.

"Give me a few more seconds to leave everything clean and tidy, honey" The pace of cleaning easily tripled, along with the greater concentration of magic that was easy for me to perceive in all the things held by my mother's telekinesis.

Until now I hadn't been able to observe her well, but I see that she has a strange drawing on her side at her waist, a pink balloon with a star inside, I think I saw something similar in my father.

I straightened up once I didn't see a drawing on any of my sides. *Click*

"So where are we going?" I asked curiously as I observed the street, the people passing by and some guards, not soldiers or policemen, but the militia itself with medieval armor and spears apart I noticed that so far, they are all the same.

"Because the guards are all gray and I can't tell them apart" Curiosity overcame my introverted side.

"Wufufu~ They look the same because of an enchantment on their armor, it's to protect their loved ones" My mother stroked my head while letting out a small laugh of delight.

My father only showed a small smile as he holds his pipe and walks beside me keeping me in the center.

I had to take faster steps to keep up with my parents, but seeing magic everywhere... It's just... I have no words.

<!!! > "Oh, I see something has caught your eye! The Canterlot’s Library, the place where you can find almost any book in all of Equestria" My mother said proudly.

"On the way back we'll go to the library, for now let's move on" My father led the way so my mother and I followed.

I tried to ignore it, but some, rather, a lot of people were surprised when they saw me staring back at them, other looks were different and not directed at me, but at my mother and they were easy to see their meaning, Jealousy.

I decided not to think about it anymore and matched my parents' pace as I held my mother's hand, which only brought a bigger smile to her face.

"You shouldn't cry, there's no need to cry, now there will just be more happy memories to make" My mother turned her back to me as she whispered something to herself, I don't know what she said, but I can only give her a smile when she turned to look at me.

"Uuh, our colt is very cute, Willston!" I was dragged into a fluffy, loving embrace.

"It's true, I feel like I'm dreaming" My father's voice sounded a little faint, as I listened to them sound joyful, on my neck above my heart, a small knot formed.

Slowly a fear formed in my heart... That all this was false, just a dream, the feeling of comfort that the two of them have shown me in these 2 hours, has left a small mark on me... I guess I really missed having a family, someone who cares about me.

"YOU'RE FINE??!!" My mother grabbed me by the face and then began to inspect me.

"Something hurts, somewhere, tell me, mommy will heal you, just tell me why you're crying!" Its horn took on a light green glow as I was soon surrounded by a very warm and fluffy feeling.

A laugh came out of my mouth as I saw her get excited and show so many emotions through her body and ears that they were shaking frantically, my father looks serene, but his eyes and ears show how worried he is now.

Whether it's a dream or not, I don't want to hold back my words again and even less so for those who are my family, so many regrets, I don't want to experience it again.

"I am fine, I am just to happy" I hugged my mother trying to get my message across through actions.

We inadvertently provoked a scene in public, but no one complained, instead many people seemed happy, even if we interrupted the flow of pedestrians, something strange, but I guess it's a cultural thing.

The walk continued as normal until my father took us to a park in the center of Canterlot where a bunch of families and a few groups of teenagers gathered.

After some time walking through the streets and observing all kinds of people with different colors, I realized the scarcity of men, after a few I got used to distinguishing women from men, obviously it was easy because of their big busts and hips, But as always, there's variety and tastes for everything.

When I came back from my thoughts, I realized that my parents had taken me to the playground of the park, several children ran by, playing tag and there were many more playing different things or just enjoying passing the time.

I found all of this uncomfortable, so I turned to look at them to refuse to participate but was met with two expectant looks at my actions.

Take a breath and move on to the calmer group

As I approached, several stopped and looked at me curiously, but it was only momentary as I kept walking, heading to the small group of children/foals playing in the small sand area.

When I finally arrived with them, I could see a small mound of wet sand shaped like a castle.

The children who used to argue, now looked at me... A little apprehensive as if I was going to destroy their castle at any moment, one of the girls stared at me scrutinically for a few seconds.

"Is it great, and if you make a river to put a bridge in?" I finished getting closer as I started digging what would be a river.

"Yes, but not very wide" "Let's use these stones for the bridge" "Let's use these sticks as streetlamps!" Quickly everyone went back to their own business, some continued to argue while others went at their own pace.

I inadvertently lost myself adding details to the castle by using a stone flat enough to define contours.

I had never struggled to bring out my inner child and this moment was not an outlier either, I only realized the passage of time when my parents called me back.

Resigned, I left the castle and half the town in the hands of the others.

I still don't quite understand the reason for coming to the park, I don't think it was just to let me play with some kids, but I don't think they will tell me.

I looked at the sky and the sun barely reached its peak, as I walked holding hands with my parents who looked more relaxed than when we left the house.

-=[1 hour before]=-
-=[Alegria's Pov]=-

This whole morning seems so unreal, I feel like at any moment I will wake up and remember this more like a nightmare than my reality could ever be.

My dear love took everyone out for a walk something normal, the walk was to calm us down more, we took Wizbell to the square with other foals, as soon as I saw him playing with others as others do is when I realized that my son was now normal, whatever he had was cured this morning.

The walk was only to calm our emotions and not cause some magic wave, watching him play on the sand was something hypnotizing, seeing how he concentrates to define the smallest details, how his ears move in anguish when by mistake he destroys some things due to his clumsiness.

My dear Willston accompanied me in silence giving me his presence as a support enjoying the view, some parents took advantage of the moment to make friends, but the two of us were totally immersed in the sight of our dear foal playing with others, there was no trace of anything he had before.

I had checked him with my magic before when I freaked out with his tears, his body is completely healthy, his magic core and horn are stable, in fact, they are better than the last check I did on him there was more movement... There was life.

Thanks to Celestia, I don't know what happened this morning, but finally our foal is okay.

Chapter 3 | Library

The way back was completely quiet, but this time we took another road, before we were walking between several narrow streets, but now we had entered the main street which had an amazing view.

A colorful castle, I could see now without the buildings blocking my view.

In full view of the castle and the sky, watch several people with wings fly, some minotaur-like humans trading in some shops while carrying their own cart of goods.

"How can they fly with such small wings?" I said to myself when one of these people landed on the street and then went into a store.

"It's Pegasus magic, that's why, we unicorns have a better control over magic, but they are born with the gift of flying and being able to live at such great heights" My father said.

"Then there are the Earth Ponies, who can't fly and can't perform magic explicitly, but they have a magical gift more related to nature and any manual art, apart from the fact that they are usually stronger because of their magic" My mother added as she pointed to a mare that easily loaded the minotaur man's chariot.

A pair of griffins flew by from the castle.

"Let's go to get some ice cream, the sun is a little strong" My father pointed to a small ice cream parlor next to a coffee shop with a doughnut logo.

"Come on! Let me try, Dad! I've got my cutie mark!" A little boy argues as he follows his father who serves everyone in the cafeteria.

"Donut Joe! Until you manage to make a donut without magic, you can call yourself a baker! Besides, son, it's not time yet, I'm not done teaching you yet, so you better still watching" The man in a darker coat said a little excitedly, but kept his smile with which he attends to everyone.

I looked at the donut-shaped drawing with strawberry icing on the side of the boy who was now looking a little discouraged from rejection.

"Vanilla with chocolate, for my beloved, a Neapolitan for me and my son..." My father turned to look at me, his voice took me out of my head when I realized it was our turn to be served.

"Vanilla please"

"At your command!" The owner of the stall was another unicorn, a light green one, she easily and magically took out three yellow and crispy cones and then placed the respective flavor in each one.

"Have a nice afternoon!"

""Thank you very much!""" We took our ice creams and continued walking, the library was distinguished in the distance.

I attributed the knowledge of ice cream and sugar to the fact that it is a fantasy world, as they should be difficult resources to obtain or understand, but hey, here, a store for the public.

The closer we got to the library, the bigger my licks or bites of my ice cream were to finish it and be able to get into the library.

Food and books don't go together very well, especially in the hands of infants.

There were a lot of people coming in and out of the library, it was easy to tell that almost all of them are scholars or students by how they carried backpacks.

"I wonder which branch of magic I am most attuned to" said a little girl from a large group where everyone nodded with the same curiosity, I could observe that their sizes were not very different from my height so the age difference should not be much.

"I'm going to the Green Toe store, I want to buy some tulip and lily seeds for our garden, I finished almost all my roses with this morning's cupcakes, Hehe out of excitement I forgot to leave some" My mother separated from my father and I, to go to a flower and gardening stand.

"Okay dear, I'll see what item of interest I find today." Holding hands with my father, we climbed the stairs to the library, which had an entrance decorated with two statues of ponies for their small sizes.

"Good afternoon, Will Stone, I see you brought your foal today" An elderly mare greeted us as we entered, seeming to recognize my father wistfully.

The mare widened her eyes in surprise when I answered, she quickly shared a look with my father who just nodded with a big smile.

"What wonderful news, I hope you continue to have a splendid day" Now the previous face, a little grumpy had a smile that caused the warts around his eyes to stand out a little.

"Do you know her?" I looked at my father who had kept his pipe since we entered the library.

"I've come here since I was a colt very regularly, it would be hard not to know her well, she's like a kind aunt once you get to know her well, don't let her sullen look fool you, it's just to keep the unruly foals from breaking or stealing the books and scrolls" A nostalgic smile filled my father's face.

"Go ahead, find yourself some books to read and take home, we will only be here for a while, we cannot leave your mother waiting for us for a long time, you can find me in that corner there, I will be reading some politics or new laws that have been published within this week, ah how these nobles love to look for legal loopholes to empty the royal treasury" My father complained as he walked away.

I just lift my shoulders and move forward in search of something interesting.

I looked at the sections of the shelves looking for something of interest to me.

I arrived at the magic section that was placed by levels and the higher it was the higher they were on the shelf, soon my hands were filling with books that caught my attention with their titles.

I totally ignored the children's section that might contain similar books, they failed to get my attention and could not satisfy my insatiable thirst for magic.

The last book I took with me was a very complete history book that covers a little bit of everything [History of Equestria by Sunny Moon], it had a print of a divided sun with a crescent moon on a map of what appears to be Equestria.

With six books in my hands, some thicker than others, I walked to where my father told me he would be, it was easy to find him in his signature coat that stands out in the library of opaque blue tones.

I sat down on one of the several couches arranged in the place, left the books on the small table next to the sofa.

I first picked up the History book which began with an introduction to the existing and known races of Equestria.

"Huh!?" I looked confused at the book where the illustrations were all of quadrupedal animals and nothing to do with who I am and my surroundings.

I decided to keep reading until I found a section that explained everything.

<... As a last prank on the part of Discord, a being who is the embodiment of Chaos, decided that it would be fun to turn to all the intelligent beings some cross bipedal between their race and a myth a fantasy creature [The humans], with the snap of his fingers the whole world underwent an irreversible change that not even with the magic of harmony was possible to solve>

The book had several interesting sections, the Dark Ages in which Discord conquered all of Equestria, the Rise of the Sisters, The Fight for Peace, The Last Prank of Discord, The Fall of the Old Canterlot, The Rise of the Everfree Forest, The Building of the New Canterlot, The War Against Griffonian which was the last great event within the last century.

Some things were very interesting and some absurd like the fact that an Alicorn moves the sun and moon every day so that there is a day and night cycle.

*Paf~* I closed the book, it had fulfilled its purpose, it satisfied my curiosity about this world, but the main course has been waiting for me for a long time.

"We've been here for a while, I guess long enough for Mom to finish her shopping, I see you picked something." My father left the history book and the scroll he was reading on a cart next to the sofas.

I looked at my watch only to see that it had been more than half an hour since we entered the library.

"Are those all the books you want to take with you?" I nodded as I followed him to the front desk.

I had noticed some time ago that there were 2 types of books, those that were fully owned by the store and those that had a sticker to indicate their sale to the public, so I obviously chose all the magic books that could be purchased... On second thought, I don't know if my family can afford it, in the end they are books and in the Middle Ages any kind of book is expensive, not to mention anything that explains the magic.

"I'll take all these books, here are the 270 bits" Before I could put down the other books, my father snatched them from me with magic and paid for them using gold coins with the face of a mare who is the only Alicorn and princess.

"If it weren't for the Magic Trinkets book, it would be the exact same set of books you took with you when you first visited."

"I guess the apple didn't fall far from the tree" My father shook my hair with joy.

"Enjoy your books little one, here they are" I was handed my books in a cardboard bag, I held them all to my chest as we left.

My mother was chatting when we left, soon she noticed us and joined us for our house.

My parents talked about what they did, with my father being the one who spoke the most complaining about how absurd the new law is and how it is very specific to try to get some use from the real treasury.

Time passed without waiting for anyone, what I once thought was a dream ceased to be a worry when I had my third day in this world and I kept waking up like Wizbell a little unicorn.

During that time, I spent my time reading the five books I bought on the first day I visited the Canterlot library.

I found it entertaining to study runes as it was the same as learning another language, but with magic in the mix, it was more of a craft work and memorizing its meaning, so I relearned how to write since my motor skills are very poor, walking or holding things were not a problem, but running with hooves instead of feet and my eye-hand coordination is not the best either, I can fix it with Telekinesis magic, but I refrain from living purely on my magic because of my pride, an insignificant one, but I don't want to have a total dependence on magic in case I suffer from a magic fever, something very common in unicorns.

So now I find myself in my room at a small desk full of sheets with runes and writing exercises, some of which are also used for drawing, so many times I started practicing drawing runes and ended up drawing some simple doodle with runes on it.

Author's Note

Thank you very much for your support in this little story :D
I'm surprised how slow I am going with these 3 chapters, I tend to be very anxious so I shorten many things and here, three chapters to complete a single day.

Chapter 4 | A Big news and a Huge news

With my hand full of ink, I kept repeating the same rune, after a whole week I start to think that runes are not my thing, I like to draw, but the meaning behind them and their combination does not stay in my head and I don't have that talent or spark that will make me able to understand them at a higher level.

The book itself shows it, if I don't have a compatibility with the runes, studying them is an ineffective effort, I guess I'll just learn what this volume has, so far, it's only been a week.

I let go of the pen and stretched out my fingers that had begun to build tension again after intense study.

"At least now my writing is a little neater than when I started" Notice the comparison of my first 100 strokes and to the ones I do now, the improvement was easily noticeable.

"I think I'll take up my studies of runes as a side hobby when I get stuck with magic" With a practicality I activated my magic and began to sort out all the paperwork that was on my desk on the subject of runes, giving way to my magical research.

This is what I call my activity of exploring magic with the book of Magic for Novices, so far in all this week I had only touched 2 books, the one of runes and the last one because of its low requirements to be able to understand them, well the one of enchantments is also at the same level, but I prefer to read it when my knowledge about magic is adequate to understand the jargons used in it.

That book was written to create professional people in the art of enchantment, not just to explain what an enchantment is and to have a bit of varied knowledge, so it is loaded with magical theories and a few formulas that I can't understand since the one who wrote the book expects the reader to have a certain level of knowledge.

Going back to the magic book, this first one explained what magic is, an essential energy for life, well in this world it is.

Magic is something that exists in everyone and everything, some ponies can have greater reserves of magic than some others and this is decided by genetics and the cutie mark.

Having parents who have dabbled in the daily use of their magic plus magic spells makes their reserves greater and more refined than other average unicorns, then there is the plus that is obtained for having talent in magic, this is reflected with the symbol of a sparkle or a star that normally represents magic.

My mother has a star inside a balloon in her cutie mark, my father has a scroll with a star print along with a shimmering feather, so they both have high levels of magical reserves, they both enjoy magic, my mother with her high level of telekinesis and studies as a white magician or magic doctor, my father is more of a scholar, he knows a lot about different subjects and masters several magics, one of them being the Flash, a short-distance teleportation magic.

I don't have any equipment to confirm my magic levels and I don't know if they exist, but obviously I must have higher reserves than the average colt and also a talent related to magic because of the ease with which I get mastery with basic magics.

So far, I have mastered Orb of Light, a first-level spell that is as the name implies, to create a floating orb of light, it is first-level because of its short chant [Guide my way, my star].

I also mastered three other spellings, [Clean Away] I learned because it's very difficult to remove ink stains on my coat and clothes, it also serves as an eraser... But it requires a high level to be able to use it at a functional level, with this spell I can eliminate my last mistake or the stains I don't want from the scroll, it consumes very little magic at the level that in three breaths I recover what would be 10 uses of the spell.

But that's when I use it to clean the ink from the scroll, it's different when I use it in my room to remove the accumulated dust, the greater the magnitude and accuracy of the spell there will be a greater consumption, this is caused by the loss of magic due to the inexperience I have in controlling the magic that is released through my horn as light.

"Wizbell come down for a moment!" My mother spoke to me from the first floor.

I stopped reading my own notes and looked at the time 12:47 pm, there is still time for dinner, but I still went down, it is rare that they call to me if it is not for a special occasion, I have almost no obligations, the magic is amazing.

My parents stood quietly as they waited for me to approach them.

"Well son, we have observed your tendency and taste for magic, so your mom and I have discussed it" My father started the conversation, he looked impatient to let go of the news because of how his ears moved.

Interrupting my father, my mom grabbed me by the shoulders and then crouched down to my height "We discussed whether or not to send you to Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns where you can learn more about magic, explore horizons that books could not show you without a good guide, We were at the time, it is almost a ritual to send all children unicorns for several reasons, But the main one is so that they learn to master their magic and you don't get to hurt another pony by accident because you don't know how to control your magic or understand why the accident happened."

My father also ducked down to our level, taking the reins of the conversation. "In two months it's the entrance exam where you just have to prove your best magic, you don't have to perform some miracle like hatching a dragon egg or creating a machine that allows teleportation, you just have to give your best, it's not very difficult really, not when I see how easily you master the magic between your hooves"

"But first we want to know if you want to go to a place like that, there are other scho-"

"I do" My voice was full of determination when I found my new goal and starting place.

"That champ, now tell me what magic you would like to demonstrate to the judges to claim your place as a student of their school?" Matching my energy, my father asked me with a smile.

Maybe out of excitement for my future or not, I said my most honest thought "Flash!"

It was the first magic I saw when I came to this world, which awakened that little flame inside me as well as resurrected within me that curiosity that had disappeared before.

The spell was only detailed as very difficult in the magic book in my room which had disappointed me, but with the help of my father, I am sure that under his guidance I will be able to do that magic of mine!

Without realizing it, something had begun to form in my side, but it was only for a moment and perceptible to my mother that she had become a spectator in the enthusiasm for the magic I share with my father.

"Not wanting to interrupt my two magic lovers, but I also have other news to give that you both don't know" My mother, a little away from my father and me, stood up straight while holding her belly with a distracted look.

"I-It's t-truth what yo-" "I'm going to be a big brother!" The joy overcame me when I approached my mother to give her a hug, leaving my father behind.

I almost jumped up with excitement and prancing around instinctively, but while I was holding back my excitement, my f-

"I'M GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER FOAL!!" He lifted my mother up with a hug of excitement as he jumped with her.

"How long?! How long have you known about it?!" Trying to control his emotion, my father brought my mother down, who shared an equally cheerful smile.

"Not much, I usually do a magic scan on everyone as a routine and 3 months ago I discovered someone sleeping peacefully and I guess it was about time to share the news, because soon it wouldn't be possible for me to keep it as a secret anymore"

The afternoon started happily and became happier with the news that I would be an older brother, forgetting my enthusiasm for learning a new spell.

From enthusiasm my father took us all in search of some things such as the possible bed for my younger brother or sister, it was a causal exit full of joy.

Along the way we also learned that Celestia the Princess of Canterlot has a niece who is also an Alicorn and that she had introduced her earlier today, well I noticed the news, my parents had locked themselves in their own candy world.

A little before sunset we returned home, where I continued my talk with my father about learning Flash from him.

"I don't know, we might as well master a level 1 spell and develop it to a higher level than normal, but I don't see in your eyes that you're going to change your mind... I guess I'll have to do some math to see if it's feasible for you to learn this spell, let me bring my stopwatch" I silently followed my father as he prepared everything for the little experiment.

"What we're going to do is use the magic of lighting, measure the lumens of your magic and also the time you can hold it, I'll replicate your data and from there I'll be able to know if it's feasible or not for you to learn Flash" I looked over my father's shoulder as he concentrated on writing some formulas and diagrams on his parchment.

"I'm using a formula created by Lux Well to recreate her spell I remember a long time ago doing this same thing when I tried to give a numerical system to magic, a futile effort with over a thousand years with theories and great wizards who have tried the same thing and failed, we can create ranges for the different levels of magical power, but its use is so uncommon that no effort has been made to standardize some system" My father activated his magical nerd mode while explaining to me the behind his actions to which I nodded interested, I couldn't understand anything of the writing but I understood the general idea.

"Done! Light up your horn until I tell you, then just hold the same energy or rhythm in your horn for as long as possible, remember not to overdo it, it's different between your real limit and your tolerance limit, do you know what the difference is? I hope so, it's detailed at the beginning of the Magic for Newbies book" My father gave me a serious look.

"The real limit is the one that will cause me to faint magically due to the almost scarcity of magic in my magic circuit, while my tolerable limit is the one where I can still maintain my mental and motor functions at a level where there is no danger of negative effects or have a clouded judgment and be able to function normally but with a small migraine" I was able to recite what the book said but I preferred to use my words to Express.

A smile of approval showed me my father "That's good, well, start on my countdown... 3... 2... 1... NOW!"

To get the best results, I closed my eyes and concentrated.

"More! use more power, we have to get to 100 lumens... A little bit more, just a little bit more, right there! Now hold it, champion!" I could perceive the light from my horn with my eyes closed, but 100 lumens weren’t annoying during the day.

The sound of the wall clock was the only sound I heard while keeping the pace, it was not a difficult task, but it was overwhelming from having to maintain my attention and concentration for so long.

"1 minute, are you doing well, do you have a long way to go, or are you almost reaching your limits?" I gave a thumbs up and flashed a confident smile, during that minute I hadn't even used an eighth of my magic reserve, in fact it felt almost unchanged.

Chapter 5 | "Null"

"I think we rushed a little bit, this is taking longer than I thought" My father let out a small laugh.

"Hehe~ I think the same" Time continued to pass as I tried to keep the same flow and control over my magical power.

The sound of the wall clock had become annoying, only the little background sound helped break the awkward silence.

Time passed and my patience was tested, luckily my father kept me focused with a few comments from time to time.

I finally opened my eyes, I had to blink as I tried to get used to the light again, I massaged the sides of my head a little.

"That would be 2 hours and 57 minutes and 43 seconds, a good record, so..." I looked up at my father who had stopped shining his horn after a few seconds.

There was silence for a couple of seconds until my father spoke "A fourth, very good amount of magic that you have champion, well that means you have enough magic power to cast a Flash without suffering a magical wear or a bounce, maybe 3 but that's already risky, let's leave it at 1"

My father's horn lit up, at the same time a book came out from the top of the bookshelf behind his couch.

"This is one of several personal books, here I summarized everything you need to learn the Flash spell, there are some specific concepts that are necessary to understand in order to guide your magic and achieve the spell. Moving your magic to your horn and wishing to teleport will do nothing but blow up in your face, so study it." I opened the book as soon as I received it.

A hasty and sloppy writing was what the book showed me, the information was not very organized, but it was easy to see the important parts by the different titles or keywords marked with colors.

The book kept narrating more things without going anywhere, I guess my father wrote it as his ideas came up.

"I think I'll do a version of my own and... This doesn't make sense, it's hard for me to understand because it's not my way of thinking."

"Good idea, anyway, if you have doubts don't hesitate to ask" My father shook my hair and then went to his office.

"It was about time, they lasted a long time with their little experiment, after 2 minutes I got bored of watching you playing being lamps" My mother entered the house from the garden while taking off her gloves.

"Yes, it was almost 3 hours, a long time, I wanted to go crazy after the first one" I approached my mother looking for a hug.

"Oh, my little star, you over demanded too much for a small experiment, let mommy prepare you a banana smoothie with chocolates and marshmallows, you need to recover all that energy" She carried me to the kitchen where she soon began to prepare what she said.

I just closed my eyes as I buried myself in my mother's shoulder to relax from the little migraine that had accumulated in these hours.

"So, how amazing is my son_" As she hummed, my mother asked me.

"I'll be able to cast the flash spell 3 times at most, which is a lot for my age, as it's a spell that is only learned from adult unicorns!"

"Hn, that's very good!" They squeezed me in the embrace.

After a little talk and eating the sugar-saturated dessert, I long ago lost my fear of having diabetes when I discovered and heard how much sugar ponies could eat.

...

..

.

Now with my energy recharged and my mind clear after a short nap, I set out to organize the book in my own way, so now I'm reading my father's chaotic book full of notes on every page, for now I don't plan to understand the depth of the whole book, just to know what it contains and group it in a way that I can understand it better.

It's going to take longer to do that, than just studying it in a normal way, but I want to master this spell well, so I'll do things right and that method is slow and boring.

While reading the book, I slowly understood the idea of the spell, among the concepts to choose to use as the core when trying to use the spell, the one that, made more harmony and logic for me, was the theory of Light, the Flash was not a teleportation at a short distance, but it was movement, the caster moved at the speed of light, so the viewer could only see a flash of light and then no longer see the caster in its previous location.

I remembered studying it and being fascinated by its absurd behavior in the quantum world, but I'll put aside those ideas and concepts that never made it into my head because I couldn't imagine them, so I can't use them for my magic.

<!!! > Ideas started popping up in my head, so I didn't hesitate to write them down so I wouldn't forget them, ideas on how I could use or move at the speed of light.

While I was concentrating, a small voice took me out of my world.

"I see you're a fan of magic, well I love speed" A boy said while looking at my room, a moment ago he was looking at my notes taped to the small board that I have on the side of my desk.

"You finally noticed me! My name is Storm Flash, I came with my mother, they told me that you would be here and that I should come and play with you... What do we play?" Even though he had a childish voice, his attitude was full of indifference as well as a lack of joy and positive energy that goes with all the ponies I have seen so far.

The boy is a pegasus, it was easy to notice him with his restless wings and lack of horn, his base color is cyan, with a two-colored, dark blue mane and a light blue almost white tuft.

"Oh!–" "There's a ball in the trunk, we can go out to play penalties or dodge ball" I interrupted him when I blurted out my idea, I could tell that he was about to explain himself by his restless attitude, but my curiosity is not so much.

"But first, let me finish writing something down, Ah! My name is Wizbell Star, a pleasure Storm Flash" I pointed to him with my pen as I introduced myself.

"Flash, call me Flash, I don't like to be called by my two names" From behind me said Flash who had started flying a little lazily.

"Well, call me Wizbell, but first I must say hello to whoever accompanied you" We left my room, at all times Flash did not stop flying.

In the living room came the voices I had been hearing for a while, as I got closer, I found my father talking to a pegasus mare with a much lighter shade of color than Flash and an equally light gray mane.

"I already told you Clear, your team doesn’t have to respond to the whims of noble fools, they can only complain to you because you are easy with them, don’t give them an inch or they will continue to take miles, the next time they go to the barracks to cry, call my team or send someone better call for me, you will see how they run with their tails between their legs" My father looked obviously annoyed by his restless leg that sways in the air as he sips several sips in a row over his black coffee.

"Yah... or dear, I see you've already met Will Stone's son" The grown-ups' eyes focused on us as we finished entering the room.

"Nice to meet you, Flash and I, we'll be at the backyard playing with my ball" I greeted Flash's mom with a simple greeting and then headed for the backyard.

..

"I won!" Look at the stone of the Flash that I defeat with paper, so he would be the gatekeeper first.

"So, what does your mother do, I only know that my father is a lawyer, and they seem to know each other."

"She's... What was it like? Ah! Supervisor of the Climate Team, she makes sure that everything is in order within the team and they fulfill their tasks, or something like that I understood, I see that you don't remember me, do you know that it's not the first time we've seen each other?" Flash tilted his head as he gave me a curious look, his face finally showing some emotion.

"Nope, in fact, until just a few weeks ago it was like this, before it was like there was a fog blocking everything, but now – GOAL!" I made my free throw when Flash was distracted listening to my story.

"HEY! THAT'S CHEATING!" Flash watched the ball bounce off the wall and back to my feet... hooves.

"No way, I'm not holding you by the wings, you're just slow" The Flash's eye twitched.

*Applause!* "I'll make you regret!" Irritation or any trace of emotion disappeared from Flash's face as he positioned himself in a comfortable position flying in the middle of the goal or paint-marked fence.

The days had passed since my unexpected new friendship with the pegasus boy, since I met him, my range of activities had a wide variation of physical activities, until now I was leading the life of a closet and a full-blown Bookworm.

But now that I met Flash, I had a reason to leave my house, which increased over time, since it was boring to be locked in my room all day, my parents were thrilled with that.

So now I was walking to a small park in the area where I live, the park is at an intersection that is close to Flash's house and mine, the place was always full of ponies 24/7.

Above all, girls, there is a great shortage of boys, it was very common to observe girls with tomboy tendencies, which I don't see as a problem, just curious and how some cultural aspects of the Earth are inverted here.

Another thing I've noticed is my increasing tendency to do childish things, not suitable for what my mental age should be, but I don't see it as a bad thing, it's just fun, I can't help but enjoy tripping up Flash when we run in some silly game with other foals.

But the strangest and rarest thing is the harmonic songs, where somepony sings with a strong emotion, enough to provoke a magical resonance in all the ponies around them, everypony becomes a singer when that happens.

Me included, I ended up being part of a choir, only at first because of the surprise, but since I was outside to have fun, I had fun singing, but Flash was not affected, rather, he looked annoyed.

"What book do you have now?" Asked Lyra, a small, mint-colored filly who slowly became part of our group.

"[Magic have life?] I bought it a few days ago and I really like how the author presents her books" I showed her the yellow book with the logo of a big star in front of a sunset.

"Ah! Hey yesterday I found in a book that ponies used to walk on all fours like forest animals, is that true? I can't imagine how uncomfortable it would be to walk in a crouch all the time." To prove her point, she tried to walk a bit using all four of her limbs, but stumbled at the second step because she couldn't keep her balance.

"Kyaah!" Before she could smash her horn to the ground and suffer from severe pain, Flash arrived to catch her, I extinguished my horn when Flash left her in place.

"Thanks!"

"You should stop being so impulsive, are you okay nothing hurts?" Flash inspected it as he placed her safely on the ground.

I reached out to heal the small scrape on his palm from slipping, using basic healing magic was one of the magics I consider easiest, although my mother argues otherwise.

Author's Note

Here another Chapie, What do you think Wizbell's cutie mark could be like?
Recycling material in this chapter.

Ignore the titles, 1 in 10 will make sense, the other times they won't, because I don't have the energy to think of good titles.

Possibly I will take this rhythm of only uploading chapters on weekends, I will try to take a fixed rhythm so as not to lose the thread of the story.

I think this time I'm a little into the idea of writing this story, I already have a list with points of the story that I'm going to write, reviewing theories and timelapses for no reason other than to get inspired.

Chapter 6 | Books and Chocolate... a pillow?

"It's time, I've studied in depth the variety of the concept of Light and now it's time to test my mastery in this subject" I said to myself in my totally dark room for blocking the light with bedspreads.

I focused on my horn like every time I perform magic and imagine an orb of light, which would then split into smaller parts that would encompass the entire room, just as I imagined it, the magic made it real by seeing a sea of small stars fill my room and illuminate it.

Even with control over my magic, I made all the specks of light rotate with me in the center, faster and faster until I compressed them back into a single light, until now it was all control.

The sphere of light now compressed is in my hand, it became tangible with a thought, but it was still just light, the ball of light had no weight, it was soft to the touch, but it had no real body, if I squeezed the sphere enough, I could touch my own fingers.

Then, as the next step, I wrapped my hand with the sphere of light like a small film surrounding my coat.

<!!! > The sight of my whole arm shining amazed me.

I slowly spread the light all over my body, something that really wasn't that difficult, as it was a method, I knew well from using Telekinesis.

At some point I ended up totally covered in light, but even though my whole body including my eyes were covered in light, my sight was not interrupted or blinded by so much light.

A feeling of warmth always surrounded me.

I closed my eyes and focused on the next action I would take.

My magical reserves began to decrease drastically when the change started, I didn't open my eyes, but I could feel a tingling that started at the tips of my fingers, the sensation slowly spread to my entire hand, but when it reached my elbow, my curiosity got the better of me.

"So cool!" My forearm had become transparent, it was in front of me, but there was an incongruity with my forearm, it was lighter and I could no longer feel the tingling in it, now the tingling could only be felt as far as the spell had managed to affect.

To my astonishment, the spell was cancelled by my lack of concentration and when my astonishment wore off, a small migraine struck me at the same instant, my reserves were already only a third of the total.

I touched my own fingers making sure that the sense of touch had been regained in my hand.

My room regained its illumination when I removed all the quilts with a thought, now with light I started to write what I had discovered and what I experienced, I was not the first to try this and there was still a hint of fear in my heart, but my adventurous side and magic fanatic were bigger.

Look at that note that is the one that had most spurred me on to try the previous madness.

The days began to take on their own rhythm as I carried out my research and spent time with my friends and family.

Flash was somepony easy to get along with, because of his serene personality, until he becomes competitive, while Lyra is a bubble of happiness and curiosity about weird or uncommon things, always looking for more or creating her own theories of absurd topics.

This rhythm was interrupted when my mother planned an adult outing where she would go out with my father and some friends, so they ended up hiring a nanny to take care of me while they are gone, so good, but the nanny came with a filly who is also taking care of these two days.

The filly is the daughter of my parents' friends, the same ones who recommended the nanny, Cadance a pink unicorn with a Cutie Mark shaped like a crystal heart, the filly is purple with a mane of a darker shade and a lock of almost pink or light purple.

It's intriguing to see the number of books the filly brought in the little cart she carries with her, but my interest was more attracted to the older unicorn, not because of its appearance, but the magic that surrounds her, was greater than any adult I have ever met.

I allowed them to enter my house by leaving the door open.

Cadance watched me curiously as she walked in helping the filly with her books, I led them to the living room.

"They don't have much that they left" I went back to the couch to continue reading a book I had left halfway through.

"Oh, I see you're just like your parents said—" "You're reading the Luxia Volt Spell Book Volume 2! It's very hard to get! Where did you buy it?! I've been trying to get a copy for 2 weeks, TWO WEEKS!" The little filly interrupted Cadance when she saw the book in my hands, she almost snatched it from me, but dodged her hands.

"TWI!!" The little filly froze in place and hid her ears behind her head when she realized her state almost on top of me and her own attitude.

"Sorry, I was thrilled to see a book I haven't been able to get." Twi, or the filly in question, bowed a bit apologetically, but his stance was more directed at Cadance.

"I get it, but that's no way to react Twilight, for now introduce yourself while I see some things that Wizbell's parents left me as pending" Cadance retreated to the dining room leaving me with Twilight who tried to hide in a book she was holding.

"..." We watched each other in silence, seeing that this was not going anywhere, I re-read my book, and later I could meet her, I have 2 days to come for that.

But before I could read the book again, she got enough courage "My name is Twilight Sparkle and I like books, I'd like to know if I could read the book... with you?" Twilight played with her book.

Twilight's eyes stared at me with stars in them, her curiosity for the book in my hands was at the same level as when I managed to find it by chance in a random stall.

"Go ahead, but how do we do this? We each read it and wait until the other finishes, or I read it out loud to both of us." Twilight was silent for a few seconds as she settled down next to me on the same couch.

She stared at the book deep in thought until it spoke in a small tone timider than her previous moment.

"Read it, please" There was no other way when she saw me determined and impatient for me to start reading, I had only a couple of pages so going back to read it from the beginning is not bothering me either.

Twilight almost jumped out of excitement as I started flipping the book back to the first page.

"Well, let's see..."

Cadance's Pov

I had gone to the dining room to check that all the snacks that Mrs. Alegría had left ready for her foal and company were ready as I indicate in her note, I could only observe in amazement the refrigerator with a high expansion enchantment on it and a complex one, I had only gained access to the actual interior of the refrigerator thanks to the residual magic in the note that worked as a key.

The rest of the to-dos were simple things, mostly related to taking care of Wizbell, who tends to forget about the rest of the world outside of his room and books, something very similar to Twi.

Forget that I left a filly with a lot of energy and an unquenchable thirst for books next to a small foal with a book that Twi hadn’t been able to get.

Although Twi is a love of a filly, her tendencies don't usually bring out the best of her, especially when it comes to relationships with colts.

But I didn't find a view where Twi was angry or fighting with Wizbell over the book, the little colt was sharing a couch and reading the book to the two of them, he focused on having a proper pace of reading, but not monotonous, so it's not boring to listen to him read, while Twilight watches with interest the book and the colt, interrupting him with questions that he easily answers when a word or concept comes up that Twi doesn't know.

The view is captivating, I remember the biggest task was taking memories with the camera that Mr. Will Stone gave me, I think it's a good time to take a picture now.

The camera soon printed the photograph where both foals could be seen curled up reading a book, it was a sight that warmed the heart of any viewer.

Knowing all is well, head back to the kitchen to make some chocolate.

Wizbell's Pov

Reading the book with Twilight was a bit interesting, I had done this before with Lyra, but while she concentrates more on aspects of the past or myths, Twilight has a more scientific or scholarly interest, pure curiosity for concepts or theories that she hadn't read yet, sometimes I had to explain to Twilight what books she could read them in and what they are about, other times she expressed her understanding, which was interesting to hear, especially her perception of gravity.

I remember a book that talked about the attributes or magical aspects that the Unicorn can be attuned to, I have that with the Light while Twilight is with gravity with how easy it is to her to understand what it is when I started to ask her questions that she answered with pride and happiness when she saw me surprised.

Cadance came back at some point with 2 glasses of chocolate, one had chocolate bars still unmelted while another had 4 chocolates floating around, it was easy to see that the one with the most chocolate is for Twilight because of how she almost drooled.

"Thank you so much Cadance!!" Twilight received her glass with joy.

I gave Cadance a smile, who had now sat on the other couch quietly with her own cup of hot chocolate.

"Don't use the book as a cup holder! You're going to damage it!" Distracted from enjoying the taste, I didn't notice that I placed my glass on the pages of the book.

Cadance took the book from me with Telekinesis and placed a divider where I had left the reading, which was already a quarter of the book.

"So, what should we do now, you can't read all day and not now that it's getting dark, you'll just hurt your little eyes if you keep reading."

"A quiz!!" Twilight jumped a bit when she said excitedly.

"What do you think, Wizbell?" They both watched me waiting for my answer, it was easy to see how much Twilight wants to play a Quiz, even if it's not a game... Not normally.

"I'm fine with that, but we can only choose topics or books that we both know" I agreed as I took a sip of my chocolate and pulled out a marshmallow to take a bite and let it continue to float in my chocolate.

Twilight ran to her books, searching among them for her favorite subject.

"This one, not this one, is also good, but this one is more varied, but... It's hard to choose!" Twilight's arms were filled with books as she gazed hesitantly among her favorite books, sometimes leaving one beside her to pick up another the next moment.

"I'm fine with this one" I brought out the first book I read in this world [Magic for Foals 101] very simple and not very varied, but just as adequate.

Cadance watched me intrigued when I placed the book in her hands using telekinesis, I don't know if it's because of my magical control or because of the book I chose when I was reading a book with deeper concepts and aimed at older ponies.

Twilight brought four books I already knew, she was slow to remember that they had to be books we both had read.

"For obvious reasons I will ask fewer questions of the book you chose, Wizbell," Cadance held the thin book.

"Okay but ask good questions" Even with my chocolate I waited patiently taking small sips with the sound of the fireplace in the background.

Twilight ended up sitting on a pillow in front of Cadance, her impatience almost palpable.

*Coughum* "First question, At what age does a foal reach its magical stability?" Cadance started the game when she finished reading the thin book.

We both raised our hands with the answer ready.

"Colts first, so what's your answer Wizbell?" Cadance gestured at me while at the same time handing Twilight a scroll, feather pen and ink to write down her answer.

"At 6 years old that would be the same as saying at 7 years old if we consider the time of pregnancy" Cadance nodded to my answer, while Twilight was left with one ear up as she looked between the two.

"Pregnancy lasts 11 months, almost a year, and 7 is a magic number" Cadance explained, noticing Twilight's curiosity that had been lost in her own thoughts.

The questions continued to flow with Twilight and I always knew the answer, but our answers were different, mine were my own interpretation, while Twilight dictated exactly what the book said, her answers were just direct quotes from the books.

We kept playing until the wee hours when sleep started to catch up with us after we had lunch.

Cadance brought some blankets, pillows, and quilts into the living room.

"Let's have a little sleepover" she said as she arranged all the sofas to make some makeshift beds, the lamps were starting to be turned off starting the night, the only light in the room was the fireplace, but its light was not much.

I invoked my magic to fill the ceiling of the room with small luminous dots and a few others surrounding us, giving the appearance that we are surrounded by fireflies or small stars.

With another little spell I deflected the light from the fireplace so that it would allow my previous magic to show a greater visual effect.

"Amazing…" Twilight who had jumped into the same bed as Cadance was stunned as she tried to catch a star in her hands, but the star continued to float at its own pace.

"Beautiful Magic" "In what book did you learn to do this!" Twilight's eyes flashed with excitement, she almost jumped out of place onto my bed, but she was held down by Cadance preventing her impulsive side from getting the better of her.

I had it almost finished on Sunday, but I just finished it today.

Chapter 7 | Picnic and Ice Cream

3rd's Pov

Cadance pulled out a storybook to put the two foals to sleep, well, mostly Twilight who was eager to know how Wizbell pulled off his little trick.

Wizbell had long since been with his eyes closed trying to sleep while Twilight had in her hands a book of light magic, at this rate she would end up revealing herself ifs he didn’t intervene, so she chose the story of the two sisters, a unicorn and a pegasus.

Cadance read the book aloud attracting the attention of Twilight who had already left the book on the table, she settled into place and continued listening as her eyelids became heavier, Cadance gave her a small pat on the head as she continued reading.

The more she read, the more stars disappeared from the room, until there came a time when the yellow and red light of the campfire illuminated the room again, when that happened both foals were already asleep.

Cadance closed the story and got ready to fall asleep, although she didn't show it, she was very surprised by Wizbell's abilities and the ease he had with magic compared to other foals, here an example is Twilight, no more than a week ago she managed to change the page of her books just using her Telekinesis without tearing the page.

Twilight and Wizbell share a similar amount of magical power, the difference could be a lot or a little, but at the time of using their magic, the density of it was similar, larger than the unicorn foals of magically talented parents.

Determined, Cadance would send a letter to her aunt about the two talented foals, she had already heard that they both applied to participate in the Gifted Unicorn School of Magic tryout, not a big surprise, it would be nice if they were well guided in the world of magic.

Both would be easily accepted with the background they have.

Wizbell's Pov

The morning started a bit turbulent with a purple ball full of hyperactivity, I was woken up by Twilight.

"Nee, nee, tell me in which book you learned that magic?” Twilight was standing next to my bed, I could see a small pile of books on the table.

"You won't find her," I rubbed my eyes as I stood up.

"But! You used it, that means you read it in a book!" Twilight shook me up, waking me up completely.

"I mean I invented it, I imagined it, I controlled my magic and I made it happen" Twilight froze watching me, she seemed to be looking for something until her face was filled with disbelief, her ears went up alert then she calmed down.

"It doesn't make sense, not unless you have a great compatibility, maybe you also have a great magical talent related to light" She immersed herself in her own world watching the ground blurting out the odd theory she had read.

"It's actually a little bit of everything and also effort, I'm going to take a bath!" I went to my room for another sweater and magic patch, the same one that hides my private parts.

Twilight was lost in thought, while Cadance just nodded silently as she continued to write something on her scroll.

"Oh! Right! We're going to spend the afternoon at the park so you can decide what you want to bring to hang out." Twilight woke up when she heard the word park.

"LET'S GO ON A PICNIC!! A PICNIC READ!!" My ears hid in my mane as Twilight let out a high-pitched squeal of happiness.

I went upstairs faster, with a thought I brought what I needed from my room and locked myself in the bathroom stopping listening to the very overexcited Twilight to go to the park.

I don't take much time in the bath, although I really enjoy the hot water on my body, I don't like the next part, drying off.

Having a coat surrounding every part of my body has its very big disadvantages when it comes to getting wet, that's why I want to learn how to generate hot air to dry more easily or simply the spell of banishing to remove all the moisture from my body, but my parents don't want to teach me.

I could recreate the magic, but thinking about a dryer isn't very helpful, so what I do is something a little more complicated and easier, surrounding myself with magic and then heating up my magic, it works somehow.

Now with my coat dry, I proceed to comb my hair with a personal brush, this is already a routine, it is reassuring to comb my hair, my mother likes to do this for me, but today she is gone.

I went back to the living room where everything was already settled, the girls were surely bathing in the bathroom because of the noise coming from the guest room.

Look at my few options, books, and more books.

I ran to my room to get my picture book.

Using magic I can replicate my previous mastery in the art of drawing with graphite, but my hands are very clumsy, I still can't recover my previous level, it's frustrating to draw something and the result is not at all satisfactory knowing that I can do it a thousand times better.

I'm limited to simple, straight patterns, but that's been changing, I look for a moment at the rune book, one I haven't touched in a long time.

"Breakfast is ready!" Cadance's scream brought me out of a trance.

We arrived early at the park, it was fuller of pegasi than unicorns, most of the pegasi were doing basic exercises or just enjoying flying without having to worry about some noble snob bothering them.

Cadance led us to the fences of a lake where she set up everything we needed for a picnic, Twilight brought her cart full of several books.

I watched the ground for ants, I don't want to sit on an ant nest or some spider.

Feeling safe in the chosen place, I sat on the small cushion placed on the blanket, now comfortable I began to draw Twilight reading a book on the lap of Cadance who also enjoys a romance novel.

While I was drawing them, I noticed a white unicorn approaching, our eyes met.

“Shh, I want to surprise her” The older unicorn gestured with his mouth as he took slow steps to sneak closer, neither of the two mares noticed his approach.

I kept drawing, but this time I used my magic to capture what I saw, the unicorn covered Cadance's eyes and spoke in her ear causing her to blush loudly.

The world around the two of them was filled with a strong pastel pink hue, almost looking like a magical effect.

"B.B.B.F.F!!" A purple stain slammed into the white stallion, bringing him to the ground with a powerful embrace.

Raise an eyebrow at the odd nickname.

"Big Brother Best Friend Forever!! I didn't know you were coming!!" Twilight rubbed her face against the Stallion's chest.

"What a surprise you gave us Shinning Armor" Cadance came over to help them up, as it was somewhat complicated with the excitement.

"Thanks, I see he's another foal you said you'd take care of," Shinning held Twilight who was clinging to him like a koala.

"Yo~" I made a small greeting as I continued drawing, using telekinesis, while the image was still clear in my head.

"I was passing through when I saw you in the distance, you always pick the same place to have a picnic, look Twi, what I brought!" Shinning brought out several candies, all of which were chocolate-based in different shapes.

Twilight lunged at the chocolates catching them all with her hands, Twilight's tail wagging back and forth as she made little jumps.

"Thank you! Thank you!! B.B.B.F.F!!" Twilight sat in her previous spot and continued reading as she now chews and enjoys the taste of chocolate.

I shared a look with Shinning Armor again, I could understand his intention.

I walked over and showed him the drawing that I just quickly finished thanks to magic.

The drawing captured the moment when Cadance blushed, and Shinning covered her eyes with his hands showing the smile of a fool in love.

"Five bits for the drawing and I won't interrupt your 'casual' encounter with Cadance" Shinning Armor only showed me a smile that didn't hide his blush in his white coat like mine.

"I like you colt and you draw very well" He took money out of his saddlebags and handed me 10 bits.

I looked at the 10 gold coins in my hands that I quickly put in my sweater pocket.

"I'm going to buy ice cream with Sweet Snow," Cadance nodded silently and I went on my way, leaving the two lovebirds and the bribed filly.

I enjoyed the hike as I watched the little animals live in the park frolicking among the trees, a sight I couldn't enjoy in my old world... one that with every day is a distant memory.

The faces of old friends have become blurry, I remember some names and forget others, but the ones that hurt me the most is forgetting my parents, so long that I lost them that I can only remember their names.

I can't deny that I don't miss my old world out of nostalgia, but there is nothing in my power or ability to change anything, the only thing I didn’t forget those people who marked my life, was to draw them as soon as I discovered that I could draw well with my magic.

Soon I arrived at the ice cream parlor, where the sweet taste of ice cream and its coldness ended up convincing me that all this was not a dream.

A stallion with black glasses and a tie stood out in the entrance quietly without talking to anyone and with a very serene attitude compared to the family atmosphere.

I decided to ignore the strange stud, maybe he suffers from the same symptom that Flash has, I went into the store where I ordered a combination of vanilla and chocolate ice cream.

"Can you buy me an ice cream too, please?" <!!!> All my fur stood on end when Twilight's voice sounded next to me.

A wild Twilight stands there and watches me with big puppy dog eyes as she carries a magic book.

"Well..." Anyway the money came from his brother's pocket.

"Yay! I want a chocolate one!!" She walked over to the counter where one could observe the flavors.

"Wiz!!" Mint arms held me under my arms and there is only one filly who dares to invade my personal space.

"Hello Lyra" She didn't let go of me after a while, Twilight was still focused watching how they served the other customers who had already placed an order before.

"Let me stay like this for a while longer, I'm mad at my parents" Lyra squeezed me tighter, her tone of voice was also a less happy tone... how do I know it's a less happy tone?

"What did they do to make you angry? Flash with his grabbing comments just makes you laugh" I bowed my head in curiosity after she let me go.

"Who is she and why was she hugging you?" Twilight returned with the ice cream and looked curiously at Lyra, who also returned the same look.

"Well, she's my friend Lyra, Lyra she's Twilight Sparkle" I decided to introduce them because observing each other in silence wouldn't go aside.

I took my ice cream out of Twilight's hands before she took a bite out of the way she glared at it.

Chapter 8 | Miss Sunny

Lyra stepped forward confidently.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Wiz's best friend! My name is Lyra!" Twilight hid behind me as Lyra tried to shake hands, an intense one as Lyra regained her super-hyperactive side at the prospect of making another friendship.

"I thought I was Wiz's best friend, well he only has two friends so obviously we're his best friends" A cynical voice sounded next to me, this time I wasn't surprised when I saw Flash standing there enjoying a grape ice cream.

"Everyone has ice cream! I want mine too, give me a pistachio one" Lyra ran to the counter to order her ice cream leaving me now with Twilight who decided to ignore everything in favor of her ice cream.

"I saw you in the park and decided to say hello" Flash was short with his words so that he could continue enjoying his grape ice cream, a small squirrel peeked out of Flash's mane and then hid again, I decided to ignore that.

"Yeah, it's not a big surprise to find the exercise fanatic in the park" I did a little fist bump with Flash.

"The truth is that I'm here to say goodbye and it's easier now that Lyra is here too"

"Do you call me?" Lyra came back with her ice cream and her mouth a little dirty.

"Yes, I want to tell you that I'm going away for 2 months because I'm going to Cloudsdale for a camp, but first I'll visit my grandparents so I'll leave the day after tomorrow, I'll see them later" Flash gave his message and proceeded to leave, we had to follow him out in order to say goodbye to him.

"Take care," we said in unison.

"Then why were you angry with your parents?" I decided to bring back the previous topic while enjoying my ice cream.

"Well... I haven't told you, but my full name is Lyra Heartstrings, Heartstrings is not my middle name, but my last name, I come from a noble family, therefore my family lives with a lot of luxuries and money, they decided to use that to pay for my acceptance into the School of Magic for Gifted Unicorns" Lyra circled her hoof.

"EH!! You can do that! but that's not against the rules that Princess Celestia imposed, that's what the test is for, to accept only those who have outstanding talent" The topic woke up Twilight who had been silent.

"Yes and no, it's a privilege she has as a young lady of the Heartstrings family," Shinning said as he calmed Twilight after he showed his presence as he approached, Cadance came up behind him.

"Good morning, Lady Lyra Heartstrings" Shinning bowed to Lyra who just puffed up her cheeks in annoyance, well now the logo makes a little sense on her stuff, it's not that same logo as the one he had–

"Are they bothering you? my young lady" The strange stallion from before approached Lyra worriedly, on his tie I could see the same logo that Lyra's things have, I guess it's her family symbol.

"Be a statue again, Iron Dust," Lyra said, annoyed with the intrusion of the now butler.

"Understood, I will comply with your wish" The stallion returned to the same place as before and remained static.

"Come on, let's go back to the park, you're invited too Lyra" Cadance took the reins of the situation, Shinning had become very rigid in Lyra's presence and the butler's cold gaze.

On the way back, I listened to Lyra talk about the new myths she found about humans, Twilight tried to argue against the existence of humans, but her rationale on that topic wasn't enough to have a debate with Lyra.

"If they were just a myth, how do you explain that Discord, a being older than the Princesses, would know about them!" This would always be the focal point with which Lyra would defend the existence of humans.

"But! BUT THEY DON'T HAVE MAGIC!" Twilight was only frustrated by how illogical the existence of a human is, an organism with 0 magic, which is the definition of emptiness because even a stone had magic.

"Calm down Twilight, breathe and eat this" Cadance controlled Twilight who seemed to be short-circuiting.

Lyra, on the other hand, showed a proud smile for managing to defend her argument.

"So, what... What book did you bring now to read?" When we got back to the picnic Lyra asked me, was it normal for me to read it to her whatever it was I was reading to her.

"I didn't bring any reading books, just my drawing book–" Lyra ran to flip through my book to see my drawings, she hadn't let me finish talking.

Twilight also joined in to see my collection of drawings when she watched Lyra exclaim about the drawings.

Cadance and Shinning had lost their own world again along the way, so they ignored the two fillies who now wanted me to draw them almost competitively to see who drew first.

The afternoon flew by, at some point Shinning left, we were already gathering our things when some smaller colts ran by, playing tag.

One tripped over a rock, opening a small wound.

"Don't worry, it won't hurt anymore" I didn't hesitate to come over to help them, the parents were far away, and they were barely running.

With a thought I healed the small wound on the knee of the little colt who, between snot, thanked me when he was able to stand.

When I turned to continue helping gather our things, I was greeted with Cadance's intriguing sight, Twilight's surprise, and a demanding Lyra.

"I’m next!! Heal me!! Go on!" Lyra shook me as she made little jumps.

"But you don't have any wounds!" "It doesn't matter! Don't be a killjoy and heal me!" Lyra was very persistent.

"But at least tell me why?" This made her stop shaking me, in fact, she became a little shy.

"Well... its... It's just that when you use that magic it feels warm, like a very warm and fluffy hug" I rolled my eyes at her comment, I don't really understand what she means, but it doesn't cost me anything.

A golden aura surrounded Lyra for a few seconds.

"Hehehe" Lyra let out a meek laugh.

"Well, who knew you're full of surprises." Cadance approached intrigued as she watched Lyra.

Twilight was now immersed in a book of white magic, her thirst for magic is great but she doesn't focus on any magic.

Presently the butler came for Lyra to take her home, for it was a little late.

The day ended quietly, Twilight was concentrating on studying magic, Cadance was doing her homework at her magical university, so I was able to dedicate myself to just reading as well.

At the same time as all the previous events, a very beautiful mare of great attributes and well-groomed white coat, sat cross-legged, on her glass desk there were two files of two promising foals, one was already known to her, while the second had been a pleasant surprise to read his file.

Both were intriguing, there were six other documents with the S.M.I.L.E stamp and some colorful stickers.

On the other hand of the beautiful mare were 2 photos of two very different eggs.

"This test should be adequate, I can disguise it to judge their attitude and performance, it doesn't matter if they make it or not" A piece of cake floated to the mouth of the beautiful mare who silently tried to predict the future of two little foals along with others.

"I should watch them in the front row" As she got up from her chair, her cutie mark came into view, a sun, the sun of Equestria.

"It's almost time for you to come back, my little sister."

...
..
.

The days passed quickly again, my research had advanced great strides, I had already managed to adapt to the sensation of the change that my body undergoes when I try to complete the [Flash] magic.

Speaking of Flash, the very crazy almost gets hurt by his excessive training, I got a letter where he told how he was forced ah not to do anything for a week over demanding his body, Lyra visits my house more often or Cadance and Twilight who bring us together because we are unicorns of the same tune.

That means that the quiet house has been getting more alive with the increase in visits, many ponies came to check on my mother because the news of her pregnancy spread among our acquaintances.

But the really good news, is that this morning my acceptance letter arrived at the gifted school, in it came that my family was besieged for a small tour of the facility before the start of the tests, a common activity by the school according to my parents, well it's not like many real gifted ponies go to the magic school, They are almost always noble or always noble.

So today we all get ready for the tour, which means bathing and using aromatic shampoos.

Miss. Sunny is the teacher at the school who would give us the tour, in my mind I thought it would be some elderly mare or very grumpy for dealing with spoiled foals, but when we arrived at the school, a young adult and healthy mare with orange mane and white coat greeted us.

That was a surprise, but the strangest thing was when we went over to greet her, her presence was suffocating me in some strange way, not authoritarian, it was just like being next to something giant, but she wasn't, it was confusing, the feeling only lasted a moment until it disappeared, I could observe concern in the mare's eyes that soon regained control.

She chatted with my parents while she was giving us the tour, I decided to ignore their talk, there was nothing that was of interest to me, they only talked about nostalgia from when they studied here, surprisingly they were both gifted, not really.

The tour wasn't much of interest to me, I'd rather keep trying to get a better grip on my magic than be here, but like a colt I had no choice but to follow my parents.

But as we explored the little school, a mint-colored filly crashed into me, or rather, Lyra pounced on me with a big smile.

"I GOT MY CUTIE MARK!! LOOK!!" Lyra's excitement was too much for my quiet self.

"I HAVE A CUTIE MARK!!!" I was buried in a hug and forced to jump with Lyra because of her emotion, I remember that from her letters she had been enrolled in music courses, which are given in this school on weekends and today is a Saturday.

Lyra's cutie mark was a golden lyre, it had a decoration of musical notes and a star, but it would only be visible if viewed up close as I was forced by Lyra... Now we're dancing.

I let myself be guided by the contented Lyra who seemed to be about to explode with happiness because of how much she trembles with happiness and the agitation of receiving her CM.

I felt embarrassed, my father looked at me with a big smile and raised both eyebrows playfully, my mother was busy taking pictures and Miss Sunny only had a cheerful smile.
