Trottingham University
Chapter 16: What the Actual Fuck?
Previous ChapterNext Chapter**Twilight's Point of View (Third Person)**
Twilight silently read one of her books in her makeshift study, which was a closet inside of her dorm. The closets at Trottingham were rather large, so there were no worries for cramping. There was a giant *THUMP* that came from the room above her and her top shelf of books came tumbling down on her.
"Rrrgh!" She grumbled, but she stumbled across a very old book while she was cleaning it up. She dusted it off and accidentally inhaled some, making her cough violently.
She then tried to read the cover, but it was scratched out, and it felt relatively light to her. She opened it up and revealed that the book was hollowed out. Inside of it contained seven pieces of jewelry, which all had their unique touch, one was a little tiara with a purple gemstone, one was a wide silver cuff bracelet with a clear diamond like gemstone, while all the others were gold chain necklaces with different gemstones inside of them.
"What are these? They're pretty neat to be honest." She asked herself as she inspected them closer, she closed the book as she put it in her book bag.
'Better take these to Celestia, she'll know what to do.' She walked off for Headmistress Celestia's Office, to discover what these genuine pieces of jewelry really are.
**Celestia's Office, Moments Later**
Celestia was working on something in her office until she felt something. She could see her own breath every time she exhaled, and it was a sensation she has not felt in quite a long time.
"Sister? Is something the matter?" Luna said, she could also feel the room getting colder as well. Celestia closed her eyes and took a deep breath, and let out a heavy sigh.
"The Elements have been found." She replied, Luna's eyes widened and she jumped up from her chair. She was very excited as she joyously jumped up and down, almost prancing.
"Who are the new hosts? Do you know?" She asked, and Celestia nodded. There was then a knock on the door, and Twilight walked in with a very wide smile, as she held a very old book in her arms. Celestia's eyes widened as she knew what that book was, and Luna did the same.
"Twilight dear, where did you get that book?" Celestia pointed at it, she nodded and laid it down on the table.
"It fell on me when I was studying. It isn't really a book though it's hollowed out." Celestia raised a brow, she thought she could find something very amusing out of this.
"Oh? And what did you find inside?" She mused.
"I found these really cool pieces of jewelry! I was hoping you could tell me why they were in my study." Celestia nodded and told Twilight to sit down. She opened the book and revealed the Elements.
"These are what you call the Elements of Harmony. They have magical abilities Twilight, beyond our understanding. A long time ago, my sister and I used them in a secret magic school. That magic school is now Trottingham, but it no longer teaches magic. The reason behind that is because greed and control got a hold of some of the students, and wanted to use them to control the World. Most magic gemstones were eventually destroyed, all except a select few, including these ones." She pointed to the silver cuff bracelet. Celestia told Twilight about all of this, because she was one of many hosts for the Elements, and there will be more to come as soon as Celestia finds the right hosts.
Celestia put the tiara on Twilight's head, and it shimmered a light purple before it went back to normal. She then nodded and Twilight was in awe as she was so excited.
"Listen Twilight, I want you to gather your five friends, for they also are the bearers of these Elements. I have yet to discover who wields the Philosopher's Diamond, but in time they too will be able to use magic. I'm giving these to you because the Elements chose you as their new owners, not me. You have to keep this a secret though, if anyone else but the hosts find out, we may be in pretty deep trouble with the government. As you are the only one able to use its magic." Twilight nodded as she was getting lectured from her mentor, she was too shocked about being able to use magic.
"Twilight, once we find the others, you will be sworn into the Order of Magics and Wizardry. If everything goes according to plan, we will have out first lesson next week." Twilight was hopping around Celestia like a little girl, as if she was getting a pony for Christmas.
"Thankyouthankyouthankyou!" Twilight hugged Celestia tight, and Celestia let out a chuckle as she embraced back. Celestia then put on her famous poker face, when it came to that nothing beat it, not even the puppy dog face.
"Now with The Elements of Harmony back in good hands, Luna, if you would retrieve Twilight's friends." Luna saluted as she went out the door. She then came back, Celestia raised a brow.
"Do I retrieve the new one sis?"
"No, he must not know about this. Not yet..." Luna then solemnly nodded as she left for real this time, out on a school scavenger hunt.
**Player Character's Point of View, The Very Next Week**
(Listen to this)
You slept in playing video games this morning, but today you promised yourself that you would go out to do something outside. You go out into the hallway, but in an instant you felt a chilling sensation run up your spine, which made you shake uncontrollably for a brief moment. You didn't know what was going on, it's been going on for a good week now, yet you weren't sick at all.`
'I wonder where the girls are. I haven't talked to them in a while.' You ask yourself, just before you stopped in the middle of the courtyard, alone. It was raining all of a sudden, you shrug it off as you let the pouring rain soak you, it felt refreshing too. You pretty much just sit down in the dead center of the storm, on a nice, wet bench.
You then look up, and let the rain hit your face, calming you down. You then started to shiver again, you thought it was the rain so you went under a covered walkway. As you look out into the rain you see a silhouette out there standing in the rain. Just then, you see them disappear only to appear on the rooftop, and then blurred out of sight with a puff of smoke.
"What. The. Actual. Fuck?" You say out loud, you then went to the area you saw the mysterious figure, and you were shivering again.
You've had it with the shivering, but it got worse because now you could see your own cold breath. The next thing you know you imagine having ice forming from your nose run so long you could use them as chop sticks. You turn around and a pink blur whizzed past you and left you spinning out of control. You swore you heard a very distinct giggle too, but you shrugged it off as you head back inside. You then go into The Lounge, a place where every college student can hang out, as you can eat, play games, listen to music. You then approach a table, where sat Rarity and Fluttershy, you say a quick, "Hello," and sat down.
"What have you guys been doing lately?" You ask, they averted their gaze from you before answering.
"Nothing, nothing happened at all." Rarity muttered.
"Nothing much, just taking care of my animal friends." Fluttershy responded.
You nod and took a sip of your drinking glass full of iced tea. You drop your glass shivering again, but it was more like some sort of seizure. You then were knocked out because you hit your head on the table, on accident. It looked pretty bad because your tongue was sticking out.
"You'll think he'll be okay? I hope he'll be okay." Fluttershy was barely above a whisper. Rarity was dragging your unconscious ass to Celestia's Office, she noticed your shivering even though it wasn't cold. This was a sign of something special, as well as many other things to come.
Author's Note
Version 1 seemed too rushed for me, so this is Version 2. Hope this one's better.
