A Horn

by chlochlocola


The Magic

A blinding light consumes three quarters of a quaint Equestrian village. Rainbow Dash an Twilight lay collapsed on the ground of the large library. Sparks she pour out of a lavender horn and cyan feathers blanket the floor. "owwww..."a snap and bang follow Rainbow's getting up. Splintered wood and thorns were covering the the area rug. All that is heard is a thump, right next to Twilight's vanity.
"Well, I fixed the chair... Rainbow? Are you okay? I should have just called the carpenter."
"Rainbow.... ah you allright, sugah cube? "
"Heyheyhey? Dashie?..."
Dash heaved herself off the floor. "What happened...?" Rainbow again, saw herself in the mirror, and she was a true spectacle. There was a large horn protruding from her skull, in place of a blank forehead. She also soared over the other mares, and her wings and muzzle were longer. Befuddled she said, "Twilight. Get a magic book, and the princess."
I'm about 20% cooler than usual. That's what bounced in the cranium of the alicorn for say, the next 9 minutes.

In the rustic castle, the Princesses did not dwarf the turquoise pony as they usually did, as she was taller than them. Luna did not mutter a world while Celestia kept a blank face, but the aura around her was, exited. That wasn't the word.... hmmm.... astonished..? Not her Highness. Well, let's just move on. Luna looked a bit... jealous that the simpleton pegasus was now 2 feet taller than herself. Celestia finally spoke: " Wow, Twilight Sparkle, I never knew magic could do this.... I.... never knew even my most faithful student could.... not to offend...." Twilight blushed and nodded her head, and almost inaudibly muttered:
"Thank you Princess."
After a long pause Celestia said,
" Mrs. Dash I'd like to inform you that you are an alicorn, which was was almost obvious. Also you are now immortal. So many ponies will pass, but you will never, so you must learn to contain your emotions. You must stay in the castle with us, but you are allowed visits with your friends. You will study magic with Luna and do exercise, emotional, physical and mental, with me. You got it? That was quite a brief explan-"
" Lemme get my stuff and Tank."
"Okay don't levitate anything that is not metal, your magic is very...."
Dash didn't catch the last of that. She sped off faster than the wonderbolts. She was already denied earlier as she teleported, after many tries, to their training base, after she *cough* "read" Twilight's book. They said, " You might use magic to win." Spat Spitfire
" You're faster than a normal pegasus" Retorted Soarin' after Spitfire's comment. They looked a hint disappointed, but none the less, Rainbow Dash was crushed. She showed no sign of sadness. She was, now, at the least excited, as she had a job to do.
