A bloodied and beaten Princess Heart was on the filthy ground panting, her normally ethereal glowing fur now darkened by mud, sweat, tears, and blood. Her normally bright and cheerful eyes darkened by exhaustion.

A pony in genuine leather armor stood over her with a frown, "Princess how are you so out of shape after I trained you for a year?"

A groan could be heard, "Master, I have to explanation or excuse, because I am just as confused as you." Princess heart stated, "I have been training everyday like you said, but my body will not gain any strength, I have tried everything I could think but nothing changed." And true to her words, her master knew how hard she trained and how little she improved. Physically, she is like a glass cannon. Deals tons of damage but cant take a single hit. Magically, she is literal powerhouse. Endurance wise she can last longer than anyone. Military knowledge wise she is easily surpassing even their best strategist. Though with the use of her magic she is can increase her physical attributes easily, it was like her very body ran only on magic. Because when they used magic restraint on her she entered a coma for a month.

"Fine your physical training is complete if this is the literal max you can attain without magic assistance, Though keep your training regimens if you break past whatever wall is standing in your way we will restart your training." Lucky heart nodded.

She has been training for roughly 5 years now, she has mastered multiple different things in two years. The more physically demanding training is three to four years. Now the last things was Medical, Military, Combat, Magic, and Teaching. Combat training was now knocked off that list, Magic was so easily that they couldn't really teach her anything.

She walked away from the training ground and entered the Guard barracks, where she was taught military tactics.

When she entered the Barracks, she was the center of attention like usual. Unlike the usual Noble or Royal who only entered here for something, she sometimes just visited to see what was happening. She saw the new weaponry that was being tested, they named them Muskets or something like that, it didn't have a proper name yet.

A Unicorn she remembered as Shining Armor, now a lieutenant just under the Captain position he wants, spoke to her in a prideful tone. "So the little prodigy enters our domain again, Only five years old and already surpassed my sister who has the Cutie mark of magic who is easily twice your age." She smiled softly, "Anyway that's not important, what are you here for today training or weaponry?" She looked at the weapons then back at Shining, he nodded getting her point, "Both aye?" A nod was his answer, "What do you wanna learn?" Lucky made a popping noise from her mouth, Shining's eyes widened. "Ya sure?" Another nod, "Its a dangerous spell," Lucky shrugged, "fine just don't say I didn't warn ya." she nodded again.

"Anyway you wish to learn Magic Stimulation, the act of channeling magic in large controlled burst to the muscles to give a huge enhancement in all physical attributes, you use a very rough and ineffective version. While constantly channeling magic can work it also drains the user faster than normal." The Pout of the five year old fox's face was adorable, "Right with your near Omnipotent magic and Omnicompetent mindset you can easily multitask sorry I forgot. Whatever, just send a burst of magic into your muscles the very instant you make contact with the object or creature you wish to hurt." Lucky nodded, before she looked at a punching bag and smirked. That scared Shining greatly, she does not smirk or smile just an expressionless façade. She only smirks when in a fight to tick off her opponents, so something is wrong.

As if to answer his question he looked back towards her and his jaw dropped, Ocean blue flames ignited around her front paws as she stood in a bipedal position, she lashed out her paw and the effect was immediate. The entire city shook from the sudden intense magic unleashed, than it went white with hundreds of ringing ears.

When vision returned, guards and Shining armor had seen the aftermath, complete devastation, for miles the normally hilly landscape was flattened to a trench that continued past this mountain to multiple others. "O-oops." it was one of the rare times Lucky spoke, this combined with everything that happened broke their minds.

For Lucky Heart this wasn't the result of way to much power, it was just slightly more than she usually does, so how did this happen you may ask. Is because her magic is to Dense even a drop of it would weight, if it had weight, would be similar to a city. It was just that dense, seriously she only a tiny flake of her power just then, "I may have done an oopsie, heh." Shining finally returned to conscious thought and chuckled.

"Well Kid you sure did an Oopsie as you call it, though how are you going to fix that?" Lucky frowned, before shrugging, "Already done with talking, aye?" She nodded, "Alright, well while it wasn't that bad and no one was hurt-" He gave a quick glance to a Earth pony mare that had a Band-Aid as a cutie mark, "-I can safely say you will not be in much trouble just a light scolding." When he finished his sentence the mare he looked at fell over was knocked out, "I stand corrected, she got hurt again!" Lucky giggled, that pony was always prone to injuries, she's not a klutz or even ill trained just life hates her.


Celestia woke from the sudden Magic overload and smirked, the Nobles again were frightened like sheep Infront of a predator, even when it was obvious while all powerful she would not even harm a fly. "Idiot ponies." She snorted. That earned her a few glares but more than enough chuckles.
