The Alchemist
A millennium ago, a master alchemist took on a new apprentice. Her insatiable thirst for knowledge proved his instincts correct. And the skills she learned will one day be all that stands in the way of a plot against Princess Celestia herself.
A master of alchemy and magic trusts his instincts when taking on a young filly as a new apprentice. Years later, her training is put to the test when they are called to Canterlot to aid Princess Celestia. With her master away on a mission of his own, the apprentice must use all her alchemy and magic skills to save the princess and help defend the castle.
This story is part of The Quicksilver Chronicles, a series of stories that follow the adventures of Quicksilver and Misty as they make their way through whatever fate throws at them.
