Chapter 4

Chapter 4

The castle dining hall is almost the same as the throne room with all the painted windows but the difference is the large dark wood table that sits in the middle of the room. As you enter the door you are meet with by a white stallion, atop his gold colored mane sits a chief hat, you can’t remember his name so you nod as he starts to speaks in a happy tone as he hoofs to the food that sits on the table, “I have your favorites placed on the table already.”

Spike throws his arms around the stallion as he points to one of the plates on the table, “Are…are those freshly found jewels?”

The pony happily pushes Spike to the table, “Yes, yes they are.”

Spike bolts to his seat as he shoves all kinds of jewels into his mouth. You stare at him for a moment note to self, never buy anything shiny.

You turn your thoughts to Twilight as she walks past you to her seat. You notice that your plate was placed across the table… you look back to the stallion as he walks out of the room, thanks bud. You hover the plate to you as you take your seat next to Twilight.

You look back to your plate, fruit, what looks like cream corn, some green stuff and a cupcake...it’s a good thing you have started to forget what meat taste like.

You turn you head to Twilight, she holds an apple in her hoof as she eats, she notices you look at her and swallows her food to speak, “I’m fine.”

Before you could speak Spike cuts in with a mouth full of colors, “I knew you could do it Twilight, I mean come on your Twilight!”

Twilight blushes a little at Spikes comment.

Spike continues as he shoves more jewels into his mouth, “Are we really staying here?”

Twilight taps her hoof to her mouth as she thinks, “The Princess thinks that I should stay here until the effects of the magic are gone.”

You speak up as she finishes, “YA, great idea Celestia, let’s use magic that no one has knowledge of.”

Twilight looks at you a little disappointed, “That nopony has knowledge of? I helped you use your own magic.”

You change your tone as you talk, “not that, I just think she should had waited.”

Twilight gets a little defensive as she talks back to you, “Waited? Waited for what? Discord could have broken out of his stone prison at any moment! It’s not like the elements of harmony put him back into stone.”

You laugh a little at her comment, Elements of Harmony, you have been here for almost three months and you have never even seen an Element of Harmony.

Twilight puts the apple down as she talks, “What so fun…-“

Her voice is cut off as she rubs her head with her hoof.

You look over her face, her eyes look twitch as she rubs her head, Spike stops eating as he looks at Twilight.

You place your hoof on Twilight, “Are you ok?’

Twilight stops rubbing her head as she pushes the chair from the table, her voice is low as she stands, “Yes, I’m just tired.” She looks back at you two, “I’m going to go to the room to rest ok?”

You nod your head as you watch her leave.

As she leaves the room you look back to Spike and talk in a fast voice, “Should we tell Celestia?”

Spike puts a gem into his mouth has he thinks, “Ummm, well Princess Celestia did say human magic is more powerful than regular pony magic, it might just take some time for her to adapt to it.”

You shake your head at his comment, how can Celestia know anything about your magic when you don’t even know anything about it.

You hear the sound of heavy hooves on the ground behind you, as you turn to face the noise you are meet with the bright and colorful mane of Celestia. She looks around the room for a moment before talking, “where is Twilight?”

You bite your lip to calm your voice before you talk, “She didn’t feel good so she went to the room.”

Celestia stares at you, “Very well, then we will use you.”

You stare at her a little confused, “What?”

Celestia continues to talk in her normal regal low voice, “I want to try something and I want to use human magic.”

You take a bit out of your apple as you look to her.

She looks a little annoyed as she asks again, “Will you help?”

You nod your head as you think to yourself, I better not make the god ruler mad.

She smiles as she hovers a pear over to you, “Focus your magic into this.”

You laugh at the floating pear, ok yoda, “What?”

Celestia places the pear on the table in front of you, “Let your magic flow through you into the pear.”
Spike stares at you with an anxious look.

You stare at the pear as you think about what she is saying, flow the magic? You place your hooves on the table on each side of the pear.

Celestia smiled, “Good now let your thoughts flow into the pear.”

“Any thought?”

Celestia stops you, “Let’s start with something more familiar to us, think about Twilight if you would.”

You think to yourself before you being, did Twilight ever tell her or does she just know? You push the thought aside as you think about Twilight’s calm soft purple eyes. As you hold the though you feel a tingling sensation on your hooves, you look at your hooves there is a light purple aura around them that seems to be fading into the pear. As you continue to hold the thought the pear becomes greener and the color seems to glow brighter.

Celestia taps you, “Stop.”

As you exhale the thought the pears color beings its normal green glow.

Spike laughs a little, “Cool.”

Celestia smiled, “Pony magic as I am sure you are aware is generated from happy feelings, and those feelings affect our world around us in every way.” She pause for a minute as she looks you over, “As a human you can absorb and charge magic in any way you want without you even being aware of it, as Twilight has said in her letters.”

Celestia smile fades a little as she taps you again, “Now think of something else, chrysalis or Discord should be what your thoughts dwell on.”

You shudder at the thought of the two names, “ok.”

You again place your hooves across from the pear as you think about Discord, the thought you hold in your mind is his laugh when he first talked to you. Your mind clouds a little as you sit in the chair, your hooves tingle with the green aura as it seeps into the pear. The green color turns a dull ugly brown as you hold you hooves. You feel a little sick as the pear starts to wither and collapse into itself.

You quickly take your hooves off the table but the pear continues to wither into a black brown mush of color. “What was that?”

Celestia looks over the pile, “Well human magic is emotionally driven from what Twilight has said, give it a deep emotionally driven bad thought and this is what will happen.”

You stare at you hooves as the green fades away.

Celestia rest her heavy hoof on your back as she talks, “But you have the power to control your magic, as long as you find a way to expand it with a happy emotion.”

Celestia walks towards the door, “If you excuse me I have to go and lower the sun.”

You would make a snappy comment to her sentence but you’re too focused on your hooves.

Spike throws a gem at your head and you snap out of your daze, “What?”

Spike points to the cupcake, “Are you going to finish that?” he is wagging his tail as he points to the cup cake. You squint at him and shove the plate towards him.

As he eats you again look back at your hooves, I can control it hu?
