Several minutes passed before Twilight and Scootaloo saw Loona come out with an odd looking dagger in her hand. "Will one of you grab my bag?!" She called.

Smiling Scootaloo made her way over as Twilight carefully used her magic to carry the bag over to the now shocked wolf. "What's in it?"

"None of your business." Loona snapped as she snatched her bag and turned to follow Scootaloo. "Let's just go with stuff that would make you sick. Deal?"

Twilight nodded and moved up next to her. "You looked shocked or… scared when I brought over your bag.

"I wasn't expecting you'd be able to use magic." Loona shrugged. "Just something I'd need to keep in mind."

"Is there something wrong with magic?"

Loona laughed. "Fuck no. Just gave me a few things to think about."

"Like what?"

Loona glanced at Scootaloo's wings. "Just a few things I'm starting to notice."

It wasn't hard for Twilight to notice what she was looking at. "We can talk about it later." She informed softly.

The rest of the trip back to town was spent in silence. To Loona's surprise, the ponies that saw her walking with Twilight seemed to just smile after a moment of shock at seeing her. She watched Scootaloo speed off down the street before following Twilight into a large crystal castle.

"Scootaloo can't fly." Twilight explained. "Nopony knows why. And other than risk messin with dark magic. I don't really know what to do."

Loona rubbed her chin. It was an interesting subject. Perhaps… learning their magic might explain how she got there. "Maybe I can take a look. I have a bit of experience with magic back home. Maybe I can take a look at some of the Dark magic books and-"

"No. Dark magic corrupts whoever uses it." Twilight interrupted.

Loona rolled her eyes. "Yeah. I doubt that'll be a problem."

"What are you talking about? Of course it's a problem." Twilight snapped.

"Have you ever wondered WHY it's called dark magic? Or why it corrupts the user?" Loona asked, moving to a shelf of books on spells.

"Because it's evil?"

Loona sighed and pulled out a book and flipped through it. "Right. So by your logic. A dagger is evil because it kills. Even if the one using it has good intentions. They become evil for using it."

"That's not what I-"

"Oh look. A spell to make others do as you command. Not evil… I bet someone who can use it can come up with evil uses." Loona pointed out.

"Ok I get it." Twilight huffed. "Magic can be used for evil purposes. But dark magic is different from other spells. It literally corrupts the user's soul."

Loona closed the book and smirked. "What if that wasn't a problem?"

"I… don't follow."

Loona put the book back and was about to say something before getting slammed into the wall by a dark coated mare. "Fear not Twilight Sparkle. I'll take care of this monster."

"Wait luna!"

"Stay out of this." Both females called before Loona kicked the princess in the gut, forcing her to back off and summon a sword.

"Speak not to our sister's student, monster." Luna spat.

Pulling out her dagger, Luna took a defensive stance. "I am sooo going to enjoy kicking your ass bitch."

Twilight could only sit and watch in shock and confusion as Luna fired spells at Loona as the wolf blocked them with her dagger before charging in with a kick that the mare dodged by jumping to the side.

Luna aimed her spell at Loona's hand knocking the dagger from it before preparing another.

Not wanting to risk getting hit by whatever it was, Loona quickly moved closer and grabbed her horn and started twisting it. "Say it bitch."

Luna's eyes shot open as her spell broke and a jolt of pain shot through her body. "I will never-"

"Enough!" Twilight shouted. "What's wrong with you two?"

"My apologies Twilight. I sensed this evil creature appearing and followed it's energy to here." Luna sighed.

"I might be a hellhound. But at least I didn't label someone I never met." Loona huffed.

"A what?"

"I was born in hell. Basically I'm a demon dog." Luna explained.

"As I said, Twilight. She is an evil creature." Luna added.

"If you call keeping a group of Timberwolves from eating two ponies evil. Then I'll take it." Loona spat.

Blinking in shock. Luna looked over at Twilight who nodded in agreement. "I'm sorry princess. But she has a point. We can't judge her based on where she's from. She hasn't given us any reason to doubt her. In fact, she offered her assistance with understanding and dealing with dark magic."

"She has?" Luna asked.

"I did?" Loona asked.

Twilight nodded. "She will need to be paid for it of course. And no doubt she'll have a special diet. So… I see no problem with her offer."

Luna thought for a moment. "Very well. On one condition. A spell is casted so that you and I are notified the moment she succumbs to the dark magic."

"Deal." Twilight replied before turning to Loona sighed and shrugged. "Whatever. Deal."

As Loona let Luna go, the three sat as the two princesses performed the spell. Moments later Loona turned and smiled at Luna. "Next time you want to get your tail kicked. Let's do it in a place we can let loose."

Luna huffed and smirked. "I shall keep that in mind. And I shall remember that little trick of yours." Getting up she turned to Twilight. "Be sure to inform us on the book she is studying. And what you find out."

"Yes princess. I was thinking of starting her off on one that involves pegasus magic." Twilight replied.

Luna thought for a moment before nodding and leaving. Once she was outside, Luna paused and smirked back at the door before flying off. "Maybe… just maybe."

Twilight levitated over a few books. "These are books on magic and how each tribe uses them." She explained before bringing over a box. Taking a deep breath, she opened it with her hooves and turned it to Loona. "And this is the… other book."

Loona noticed Twilight wouldn't use her magic or even touch it with her own hooves. As she reached for it she saw Twilight preparing a spell, just to be safe.

Taking the book, she opened it and quickly felt what she was talking about. But either because of what she was or where she's from. The corrupting powers only felt like a tickle. "This stuff is weak." She huffed before scanning the spells.

Twilight sighed and turned away. "Let me know if you need anything. I'll see about setting up the rest of what we talked about."

Loona nodded and turned to a page that talked about pegasus wings. Smiling, she scanned the page before turning to another that talked about making things out of magic. "Sure thing… you'll be the first to know."
