Chapter 23 - The big adventure... School time!

The 5 years Cynder had been living showed a lot of change for her personally, not a decade into this new world and everything had changed for the world as well...
Not to forget how many lives she had changed and saved by removing dark parasitic afflicted ponies and non ponies from deaths door...

Cynder had learned a lot for someone her age. She made a lot of acquaintances, had every true friends turned family or honorary family. She had acquired her abilities and trained her skills and body. Alongside her numerous skills. But her hardest challenge was yet to come... Schooling outside home and living along foals with chicks.

O girl... What horrors would await her? Not even the Black Hooves would be able to save her from children being children.
At least did this pony and non pony foals and Griffon Chick's be cuter in looks and more mindful in general. Comes with the territory of having as prey learned hitting there weak points when roughhousing and predators learning to use claws and beaks carefully as not to hurt family and friends, while not getting hurt in turn.

Applejacks the absolutely diabolical cuteness on four hooves. Veteran of many tongue vs hooves fights against Cynder and hoove to hoove fight with her big brother. As well the hoove to beak combat champion.

Big Macintosh the young sturdy colt that was the biggest of them all, second champion of many hoove to hoove, hoove to tongue and hoove to beak fights.

Cynder the undisputed absolute adorable squeaky toy of doom in tongue to hoove and beak fights. A true champion of the gentle roughhousing arts.

Cadance the pretty and pink chick. While mostly on the last place in the roughhousing pole, did she exceptionally was unbeatable in the art of making puppy eyes to get sweets for them all and tickel take downs with her feathers.
Perhaps Cadance was the most ruthless tickel monster of them all...

Even Discord feared her tickel sneak attacks.
Equus was indeed doomed the day she added tackel hugs and snuggeling with petting to that list. Cadance would be unstoppable...

The betting poll was 50/50 on Cynder or Cadance to give the world a heart attack one day as adorable younglings or probably kill males of their respective species with their puppy eyes of doom...

Anyway...

The very first open day of public school today was coming along and the younglings could bearly wait for it.
So many friends to make, mutch to learn and perhaps many coming play dates coming out of this first day alone...

They all where busy trying to wake Granny Smith up for once. The mare started to feel her twilight years to grind down her slowly failing body...
This year would be probably the last she made a point out of it to bring the foals up and down the stairs and do lifting in general.

She was 175 years of age, usually a Earthponys could manage up to 200 without big medical support, but a life of hard honest work finally had started to grind her body into the Earth that had birthed all she had worked and cared for.
Unfortunately would her body now start drastically to degrade. A Earthponys body usually if it reached 200 years of age at all, started to absolutely spectacular fail at 180 years of age.

Some guessed that the internal magical core was breaking down from overuse... But after millenia of research, did noone really know it for sure...

Today was her joy bringing youngest generation really troublesome.

"Come on wake up or we'll be late." Stated Applejack, Big Mac and Cadance. They hopped around Granny Smith like excited puppys.

Only Cynder seem to have acknowledge her state and snuggeling her face, until Granny Smith surrendered and standed slowly up.
They had refrained from shaking the old mare awake with hooves and talons, but the mare was still shaking on her hooves for a minute after she standed up.

If Granny Smith situation started to degrade further this year, might she not even enjoy being the mighty steed to the breakfast table any longer before Cynder become 6 years old...

After breakfast did Silver Tongue and Granny Smith disappeared for a few minutes. After they had returned did the plan of the day had changed.
Silver Tongue would have the honor of bringing the four younglings to school.
Three cheered the change of pace.
One almost shed tears...

After breakfast did everyone got a shower from Butter Cup, while Bright Mac was going somewhere with Granny Smith...

Butter Cup spend some time holding back a laugh as she tried to sneak tickels into her drying of her younglings in.
Cadance get free from the drying towel that Butter Cup had wrapped around her the best.

A magic hot air hair dry maschine helped the younglings to dry up.
Cadance fluffelpuff impressions with feathers are still absolutely priceless!

Once they where ready, they take the schooling supplies in her hammer space storages and Silver Tongue started to ride them to their first stay.
Accompanied by 27 unseen Guardians around Silver Tongue.
9 for Cynder, 9 for Cadance and finally 9 for the stallion of Celestias heart Silver Tongue.

The way to the school was event less and many greetings come their way.

Many of the parents bring their younglings to the school today. The Ponyville had three huge school complexes, building a 'U' shape. The courtyard was rather huge thanks to the fence between the conor of the school buildings edges.

Many Griffon soldiers roosted on the roof of the school.
Timberwolfs and Manticores had started to produce surprisingly many offspring in the last years and the food demand was not longer holding up.

While Celestia had ordered more general nutrition dispensers on the other side of the Everfree forest as to lead the majority of all predators away, did eventually new prides and hunting grounds got established and the weakest packs and singel hunters enjoyed their territorys near Ponyville.

Ponyville was a unattractive target since it had a huge collection with ponies with sharp sticks, not to forget the Griffons with sharp sticks that could fly...

But desperation drive some predators to a bad decision that not to rarely ending in the population of feral predators dropping thanks to guards doing their jobs very efficiently.

The Tree of Harmony crossed out feral Predator as death cause for Bright Mac and Butter Cup Apple-Pear death out. To strong military presence to sneak even a top nourished and well trained Alpha predator to the Village or the Orchard.

Death by Tree falling, death by rogue military or death by accident it would have to be.
Unfortunately was the military these days way better trained and patrols on every conor might make that point mute as well...

Death by Tree falling or accidents of any kind it was...

After reaching the school they all evacuated Silver Tongue back and tested out their new magical glyph tattoos located on their neck backside that give them all a transparent looking hammer space storage.
A invisible outside magic inspection version would be given once they reached puberty.

One with more storage space harder to inspect and low level preservation spells reinforced would be made available, once they all reached 30 years of age and be declared adults in Equestrias law.

With the Griffons and Pegasus as we'll Thestral having a life expectation of 160 years was 30 years a good age to be declared adult, when given enough time to mature.

The Unicorns, Bicorn and Kirin see it with only 120 years of life expectation a bit differently, but the law was the law and noone stopped someone at 25 to start acting and jobbing like a adult.

The group of younglings standed together.
Ponies and Griffons had a instinct to stay in a group, strength in numbers. No wonder later in life ponies herded often and Griffon flocked together.
But that was a topic for another time.
Probably puberty...

As the group leaded by Cynder could get a good look at their new classmates, was it not to surprising to see many air or earth griffons low flight chasing one another to alleviate tension and boredom. The mage Griffon Chick's with their colorful plumage like Cadance had it, rather flocked together as a hole and squeaked and chirped happily with one another.

Cadance was accepted by them like a common family member, the ponies got gently poked and proded to see if they are as soft without feathers as the rumors told them.

And Cynder?
Yeah...
Cynder got absolutely swarmed, the squeaky dragon was apperently the unanimously undeclared school petting mascot.

While Cadance was a bit miffed that her most favorite squeaky puppy like sister got so crowded that Cadance would not be able to sneak a head petting in, would she make up that deficit later at home.

When one chick tested Cynders tale and found it dull despite it looking like the sharpest blade to have ever existed...
Did Cynder learned that her tail blade in a relaxed state was tickling when gently attacked by a beak.

Cadance would ruthlessly exploit that fact from now on, when Cynder started to tickel her when roughhousing.

Celestia, Chrysalis, Luna and Nightmare enjoying the show by snacking on cookies and biscuits, while watching everything happening before Cynders eyes.

Their magic core connection was also unfortunate sharing parts of Cynders ticklish treatment by Griffons in rows nibbeling the dragon welp, to get it to squeak and hiss in laughing fits.

The day was filled with giggling by the young and antique equally.

Meanwhile did a certain filly lost her only friend in the world, do to him getting a cutie mark and leaving town with his family.
The innocent smile of the fillys face dissappeared that day and Harmony made a check mark at rearranging events for the timeline to come.

If the Tree of Harmony would have had a face, it would be glowing in glee.

Author's Note

Joy and tragedy, blessings and curses of fate and destiny fall upon many that fateful day...

Proofreading more in detail will be made at a later date.

Stay snuggly
