Chapter 0

"Who is it? Who is it?" Pinkie Pie bounced up and down. "I told you Pinkie, I don't know." Twilight sighed, reading the book from the archives she took to study. "All I know is that he was the princesses teacher. And now he's supposed to teach me more advanced magic." She then sighed again, looking at her friends. "Besides, they didn't say when he was coming, only that it'll be soon." She shook her head, as Spike walked in. "Woah." He said, looking at the group. "I didn't know you were having a get together today Twilight." He looked around, before staring at Rarity. "I'm not." Twilight responded, "Pinkie seems to think that the princesses teacher seems to be coming today." Spike blinked, looking at Pinkie. "He is!?" He then rushed off, as Pinkie and Rainbow bursted out laughing. "Um... I don't think we all need to be here..." Fluttershy whispered, smiling shyly. "He's not com..." Twilight started.
She was interupted by a blinding flash, as a dragon like creature appeared before them. "Aha!" It proclaimed, grining wildly, it turned to Rainbow. "It worked! Now Jeeves, get me..." Blinking, the new creature looked her over. "You are not Jeeves... In fact, you aren't even a drackyl are you." They all blinked at the new creature before them. Twilight was the first to aproach. "Um. Hello, I'm Twi..." She began. "Twilight Sparkle, student of Celestia. Current bearer of the element of magic. Yes I know." The dragon said, looking at her, his eyes half tired. "I am Drackyl. My name is Makavar." He smiled, looking at each of them in turn. "Fear me not, or fear me lots." He shrugged, opening Twilights door. "I care not, for I wont be hear long. I have business in Equestria." Rainbow then flew infront of Makavar. "Your in Equestria. Ponyville to be exact." Tilting his head he looked at Them in turn again. "Yes, yes. I do see Equestria now." He looked back at Rainbow, his eyes unblinking. "Equestria yes. Though never heard of this ponyville."
"That's because it's new in your eyes master." Princess Luna said, flying down with Celestia. " Just was made not three generations ago." Makavar smiled again, looking back at the group from outside. "Ah, I see." He turned to Celestia. "No. Teach her I will not." He shook his head, just as Celestia was about to speak. "She is to weak. No training in the old magik as you call it now. Train her in this, and maybe." He then vanished, in a puff of smoke.
Celestia laughed slightly, as Twilight bowed her head. "Weak?" She mumbled to herself. "I'm weak?" She looked up slightly at Celestia. "No Twilight, you aren't weak." Luna said, patting her back. "He's just powerful. More powerful then even the elements." She sighed, looking back at Canterlot. "How is your brother Twilight? I heard you got a letter from him?" Celestia said, changing the subject. Twilight emeditely beemed at the mention of her brother. "Oh! Yes, I forgot all about it when you mentioned your teacher. I haven't even been relaxing much." She sighed, looking down again. "He's fine. Him and Cadence are still having a bit of trouble over at the crystal empire though. nothing serious." Celestia nodded her head, as she looked over at Rainbow and Luna talking. "That's good. Well, we best be going." She said, directing her voice more at Luna then Twilight. "Awe..." Luna whined. "But Miss Rainbow Dash was about to teach us how to do this 'Sonic Rainboom.' It sounds rather fun." Celestia and Twilight both giggled at Luna, while Celestia shook her head, gesturing that they still had to leave. "Come," She said, already halfway out of Twilight's house. "We have a guest that needs lodgings." Luna's eye then light up, as her memory of their old master arriving surfaced once again. "Oh yes!" She proclaimed, heading out with Celestia. "We appologize, you must teach us the sonic rainboom next time."

'Dear Princesses Celestia,
It's been about a month sense you had told your old teacher to live in by basement. Though why, I don't understand as he has yet to even teach me what he meant by the old magic. He just sits in the basement doing all...'

An explosion from beneath Twilight woke her from writting her letter. "What?" She questioned, looking at the door that led to the basement. "What? What is he doing?" She inched towards the door, hoping Makavar would be distracted enough to not notice her comming. Inching closer, she braved open the door. Just as Makavar opened it from the other side. "Ah!" She yelped, backing off. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to! I wasn't thinking of going down!" She looked up to see a black unicorn, wearing a brown hat. "Sorry." He said, smiling. "Didn't mean to startle you, when ever I change it always gives of a bit of an explosion." He glanced down, at Twilight's confused look.
"Wha- What?" She stumbled, even more confused then before. "'Change?' What? Who are you?" The unicorn looked at her like it was obvious, then chuckled slightly. "Ah, yes." He said sighing. "I am Zeirulious Klien Makavar. Didn't I already say that?" Twilight blinked, as Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy came in from one of the windows. "We heard an explosion! Is everything alright Twi..." Rainbow started, now noticing Makavar's changed looks. "Um... Who are you? And why are you here?"
Makavar then sighed, and spent the next hour explaining who he was, and why he was there. "Oh," Rainbow said, blinking. "So. Your not a pony." Makavar nodded. "Right, nor am I actually a drackyl. I'm what you'd call a Non-Entity. Something compleatly and utterly not natural." He smiled, gently. "And because of that, I can take the shape of the people with in the world I am in. To better suit them." Rainbow blinked again, smiling. "So," She said. "When exactly are you going to start teaching Twilight? That is why you are here."  Makavar turned to go back into his basement room. "Eventually." He said, before the door shut.
Twilight sighed, heading back to finish her letter, as Rainbow sat thinking.

'Dear Princesses Celestia,

It's been about a month sense you had told your old teacher to live in my basement. Though why, I don't understand as he has yet to even teach me what he meant by the old magic. He just sits in the basement doing all those weird expirements.
In fact, just now I discovered that he could change his shape. Does that mean that when you first met him he was a pony? Or was he something else? I know that I barely can grasp what he is, but at least I can ask you...'

"I got it!" Rainbow screamed out, startling both Twilight and Fluttershy. "Got what?" Fluttershy asked. "We could go out. On a picnic." Twilight looked at Rainbow. "What? Why?"  Rainbow looked at both of them, as if they were mising an important point. "Look, Twilight." Rainbow sighed. "You need to get out more. And stop obsesing with Makavar teaching you. It's almost like you like him." Twilight backed away from Rainbow. "What?" She exlaimed. "No, why would I? he's rather rude." Rainbow raised an eyebrow. As she was about to say something, Scootaloo came crashing in. "Sorry..." She said, bowing to Twilight, before turning to Rainbow Dash. "Um, there's a Stalion at your place Rainbow Dash." She said, rather quickly. "He said to tell you the word 'Soarin' and that..." Rainbow's eyes then grew large as she began to frantic around. When she found Twilight's calander, she shricked in shock. "Is that really today's date?" She asked Twilight, rather desprately. "Yes." Twilight responded, nervously. "Yes it is?"
As Twilight finished her sentance Rainbow blasted out of the room. Out the same window she entered. "...you would understand." Scootaloo finished her sentance, rather shyly. Twilight giggled a bit, as Scootaloo blushed in embarasement. The three remaining ponies then talked a bit asTwilight made them all lunch. 
Only seconds later Scootaloo screeched, which caused both Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy to jump. "What's wrong Scoota..." Twilight began, turning to see what the fuss was about. Upon doing this, she witnessed the sight of her adopted daughter, Nyx. Seconds passed, as the unexpected arrival of Nyx sunk in to the three ponies who were there. As the moment passed, both Scootaloo and Twilight rushed to hug Nyx. "I can't believe it!" Twilight said, excitement in her voice. "Didn't Celestia send you out a month ago?" Scootaloo asked, the excitement heard in her voice as well. "Well..." Nyx said, shyly. "Yes, she did. The tasks seem to be getting easier. Do you think that she's giving me easier tasks... after that happened?" Nyx then glanced at her side, as which a large scar could be seen. The scar however, seemed old. "No." Twilight, said, hugging her daughter. "No, I don't think so." Twilight looked over Nyx again, a smile on her face. "Have you ever thought that it was that you yourself are stronger?"
At these words Nyx lit up, excited now as well. "N-no." She smiled, her mother successfully having cheared her up. "No, I never did. Perhaps I'll ask Celestia or Luna to give me a harder task next time." Twilight smiled, as Scootaloo and Nyx both headed off, probably to inform the other Cutie Mark Crusaders. Twilight then turned to Fluttershy, sighing. "Well, I guess it'll just be us eating then." She said, as she went back to continue cooking. "But, what about Mr. Makavar?" Fluttershy said, looking at the door that lead to the basement. Twilight then shook her head. "No," She said continueing to cook. "I wouldn't worry about him. I can leave some out for him, he'll eat when he's hungry." Fluttershy glanced back at the door one last time, before they sat down to eat.

Later that night, after Twilight finished her letter to Celestia and her guests went home, to sleep she herself went to sleep. "Magic..." A voice said, from somewhere in her room. "It an interesting thing is it not? To change reality to ones desires." Twilight's eyes opened as she looked around her room. "Who's there?" She asked, looking around seeing no one. "No one is here Twilight. Except us." The voice continued. "Now, about your desires." The voice seemed to be laughing. "It anger's you doesn't it? That Makavar wont teach you. It annoys you, after all that's why he's here isn't it?" Twilight lit the room up using her magic, attempting to reveal the person speaking. No one was there. "What do you want?" Twilight asked, begining to feel scared. "I just want your desires to be fulfilled Twilight." The voice said, seconds before her shadow shook, and took a life of it's own. "Is that so wrong?" Twilight watched her shadow,in shock and confusion. "Who...What are you?" She asked the shadow, watching it. "Me?" It asked her in return. "Why ever does that matter? What does, is your Desires." Twilight watched the shadow in scilence.
"Well? Would you..." The Shadow began, before it caught flames, and returned to where it should be. "That was a Shadow." Makavar said, from behind Twilight. "Though how one got here, past the sisters I would like to know." Twilight turned to look at Makavar. "What?" She said confused. "A Shadow? As in that was a creature?"
Makavar laughed, looking at Twilight. "Aye," He responded. "That'swhat it's called. A shadow is a creature without shape. They live in a plane near ours called the Shadow Plane. It worries me that one got past those sisters, as they usually proceed something much worse. Such as a Lich..." He then walked to the window, his shape slowly returning to what it was before. He looked out her window, as if watching for something. He sighed after a few seconds. He raised his hand as a small sphere appeared in his hands. "Luna..." He said, as Luna appeared in the Sphere. "Yes master?" She asked, as Twilight look at the sphere in wonder. "Can you explain to me why there was a Shadow here? After I warned you about them." Luna blinked, confused. "What? How? I did not sense one approaching." She said, the confusion in her voice. "Beyond someone inside letting one through, there would be no way for one to be here. So you are right to worry Master, I will look into this matter myself." Makavar smiled, nodding his head. "Good." He responded, looking back at Twilight. "That will give me the opportunity to teach this one." At his words, Twilight lit up. "R-really?" She asked, once again excited. "Your going to begin teaching me?" Luna nodded, as the sphere vanished.
"Yes." Makavar said, in response to Twilight's question. "If there are Shadow's getting in with out the sister's knowledge, then we will need all the help we can get. Which means teaching you and your friends the Old Magick." Twilight blink, tilting her head slightly. "You don't mean all my friends do you?" She asked him. "After all, not all of them can use..." Makavar waved his hand, shushing Twilight. "Ah yes," He said smiling. "That is where you are wrong. Can you not use magic to create wings? Yes, you have done so." Makavar then suddenly became thick smoke, and traversed the area to reappear as his pony self behind Twilight. "Long ago, all ponies, as you call yourselves, could use magic. Each speciallizing in a specific type. Those who would become the Pegasi, where excelent at manipulating the weather. Those who were excelent with the land, did not change and would later be called Earth ponies. And then there was those who became Unicorns, the greatest and most powerfull of all the ponies in the ways of magic. Then there was my personal students. Way back when, they could move mountains, create rivers, the whole world a canvas for the making.
There was peace across the world. Well, untill I found out one of my student's was dabling in a book a wrote long ago. It was when I was young, that I wrote it." He shook his head, dissapointed. "I hadn't excpected a group of them to begin practicing it's magic. Darkness enveloped them, they became something even worse then when Luna rebelled. A darkness that nearlly destroyed the whole of reality. It took almost all my power to stop them." He then turned to Twilight, who had sat down to listen to his story. "That is one thing I do not wish to happen again. Which is why I was hesitant in taking another student. However, after watching you six for the past month, I agree with Celestia. It is time I returned."
At these words, Twilight smiled again, the knowledge of being taught by Makavar finally hitting her. "Well, I best get rest." Twilight said, heading back to her bed. "If I'm to be learning anything, it's best if I'm fully rested."

"What!?!?" Rainbow Dash yelped, after Makavar finished his explanation to the other five ponies, which was the same one he gave Twilight the previous night. "Your telling me, that this old magic your talking about anypony can learn?" Applejack asked him, tilting her head. "Aye." He said, as they reached Canterlot. "I don't see why that means we must go to Canterlot." Twilight said, blinking. "Because," Makavar said, looking at each in turn. "Way back before I left this region was called RavenWood. And what you call Canterlot Castle was my school." He said, which caused each of the ponies to blink in suprise. "You mean Canterlot Castle was a school?" Rarity said, in disbelief. "But, then when did it become the Princesses home?"
"It must have been when Maka... master left." Rainbow said, chuckling at the word master. "To think, I'm actually going back to school... for magic." Twilight looked at Rainbow, as the approached the Castle. "I can't believe it either." She said, a sparkle in her eyes. "That there is a whole other section to the Library. Let alone an area to train in magic underneath it." Makavar laughed, watching each of them. "Aye. It is a wonder what the castle holds. Many things you will see, what you make of it, is up to you."
As the walked into the castle, they saw Luna waiting for them. "Master." She bowed, which caused some of the ponies to look in confusion. "Ah, yes." Makavar said, turning to the others. "As the event that lead me to leaving here, happened before Luna finished her training, she will be joining you." These words, made both Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle to light up in excitement. "Really?" Rainbow said, smiling. "Luna will be with us?" Luna smiled, nodding.
They continued on, as each of them talked with the others. Once they arrived in the Library, Makavar stood, staring at a wall. "Um.." Twilight said, looking at him. "That's a wall. I've past it several times. I thi..." She was interupted by a rumbling sound, as the wall receded into the floor, revealling a spiral staircase, leading deep underground. "Later on, I will show you how to get here." Makavar said, heading down the stairs, with the rest following. "So that you may practice in peace."
Once they reached the bottom of the stairs, they were presented with a strange enviorment. Around them was a large slightly hilled prarie. Rainbow looked back towards the stairs, to see them missing. "What?" She questioned, confused. "Where are the stairs?" As she said her words, the other ponies looked back as well, as the stairs slowly matriallized from an invisible cealling. Once they touched the ground, a hole opened, revealing the Castle. "Where are we?" Twilight asked, looking back at Makavar. "This can't be a part of the Castle, it's not possible." Makavar turned to look at Twilight, as Luna headed off. "Oh," He smiled. "But it is entirerly possible Twilight. You see this room was made using a special kind of magic. Right now we are in a dream like realm. As this is true, the realm is controlled by the minds of the people in it." He indicated the stairs leading back into the castle. "This is where I taught people to use magic. I indeed taught them within the rest of the school yes. How ever that was only Magic Theory, this was for the practical Magic." He turned as small scarecrows appeared a small distance away. "Now, we will have to go from the begining, I want you all to concentrate on creating fire.
"As Fire magic is the easiest magic to learn, yet one of the most deadly, I will be teaching you the basics of this. Focus your minds, with in them there is the place of magic, the pool of mana in which spells are used. Focus your minds, and breach this pool. Once you have, focus on creating fire." As he said those words, each of the scarecrows caught fire. Both Twilight and Rarity blinked, now aware of where their power came from.
Each of the six ponies sat focusing on what Makavar said, as Makavar himself sat watching Luna practice her magic as well.
Twilight sighed, shaking her head, trying to focus on breaching the 'pool of mana' as Makavar called it. She sighed in dispair each time she opened her eyes hoping that she finally created fire. Looking around she sighed in relief as the others were having as much trouble as her. She then glanced at the ever burning scarecrows, and an idea poped into her head. Didn't he say that this world accepted our thoughts? She thought to herself blinking, as a Scarecrow popped from the ground near her. She smiled, as she then began to focus on an image of the Scarecrow catch fire.
This continued for another few hours, the ponies becoming mentally exhausted. Even Twilight, who's eggarness was all but gone, was having trouble focusing on the task. Yet none would give up. This caused Makavar to smile, as he watched them.
To him, it appeared that only Twilight had caught on in how to create the fire, or at least she thought of an easy way to. He watched them, a soft smile on his face, as Luna approached him. "They don't know," She said, concern in her voice. "Don't try and hide it master. I know you haven't told them yet." Makavar shook his head, watching Twilight in particular. "No." He sighed, looking at Luna. "They do not need to know. Let them have their bliss. It's one thing I should not have done the first time I was here." He shook his head, in dissapointment. "True, yes." Luna said, looking at the others. "But even so, knowing your future can be liberating." Makavar again shook his head. "No." He said watching Twilight as a spark appeared on the scarecrow she was practicing on. He smiled as she lit up, hope appearing in her face again. "That is the last thing we, I want to go through again. He was a nice man, only to become corrupt."
Just as Luna was about to protest, a shrill dark laughter resounded through the area. Each of the ponies yelped in fear, as the area became dark and filled with death. "Talking about me again?" A voice said, laughing. "Such a shame Makavar, talking of your students in a negative manor." Anger filled Makavars face, as Twilight and Rainbow both looked at him, as the others looked for the source of the voice. "Leave now Katjil, you aren't welcome here any more." The voice laughed again, ass a skeleton apreard tipping a hat. It was wearing a suit. "Oh? Not welcome?" Katjil said, acting shocked. "And here I thought that you'd be proud to see me again. After all, you made me who I am Makavar." Makavar growled at Katjil, anger seeping from him. "Wh-what's going on?" Twilight asked Luna, who had joined them. "I-I do not know." Luna said, clearly scared. "I-I thoughtv that we... He was dead..." She whimpered, cowering behind the group. "I swear... he died... he should be dead..." Luna continued mumbling to herself, apprantly wishing this was all just a dream. Twilight glanced over at the two ponies, worried about what was going on.
"So," Katjil smiled, glancing over at Twilight. "You will teach them? I laugh, you aren't afraid she will become like me? The first weilder of the element of magic? They were after all, your idea." He laughed, relishing in causing Makavar agony. "Yes." He said, also looking at Twilight. "I do worry. I always do. It was a terrible idea Katjil, I know this..." He looked back at Katjil. "I wish there was away to bring you back... I most of all miss you." He smiled, as Katjil looked back at Makavar. "I know." He said, a smile on his face as well, as he suddenly went from being a skeleton to a regular stallion. "I miss all of you as well. Tell Luna I'm sorry for leaving her. Can you do that, father?" Makavar chuckled, as Katjil faided away. Nodding, he glanced at Luna as the area returned to how it was.
"What?" Rainbow Dash said, almost dissappointed. "Is that all? No epic battle?" Makavar chuckled again, as he approached them. "No," He said looking at Luna. "There was no need." Luna looked up from cowering. "Was that..." She started, tears in her eyes. "Was that really Katjil?" Makavar's face grew solem. "Aye it was Luna. It was." He responded to her question, which caused even more tears to appear on her face. "He misses you Luna. Out of everyone he could see, you were... the only one he wanted to see." Luna whipped the tears away, smiling. "Thank you master..." She sighed, before leaving the room, for the rest of the castle.
"Who exactly was that?" Twilight Sparkle asked, watching Luna. "His name was Katjil." Makavar said, also watching Luna. "He was my son. As well as Luna's fiance."
As Makavar finished the last sentace, each pony in the room gave a collective gasp. "F-fiance?" Twilight said, now looking at the stairs. "As in... but wait, what do you mean was? As in he isn't alive anymore?" Makavar nodded. "Aye." He responded, sighing. "It was during the battle between us, and the corrupted. I had a silly idea, to create stones embodied with elements opposite the chaos. I had hoped to create order in the hearts of the ponies that were corrupted." He looked at Twilight, whit whom was the only pony to realise what he meant. "My son, and Luna's fiance, was chosen to wield the most powerful one.
"I was proud. What father wouldn't be? Their son, selected for such an honor..." He continued, shaking his head. "Alas, he was the first to die. Thinking that he could chalange them on his own, he went on without the rest of the group. It took us three years after the battle ended, to find his body." Twilight blinked, looking down, slightly blushing. "I-I'm sorry sir." She said, looking away. "I-I didn't realise how important he was... nor how he..." Makavar waved his hand, silencing Twilight. "No matter." He said, sighing. "We are done for today, it's best if we leave here for now." He sighed, watching each of the ponies leave hanging their heads.
"How did you know I was still here?" Katjil said, reappearing after each pony left. "Because, I'm your father. And I know you, you wouldn't leave with out saying hello to Luna." Katjil laughed,sitting down. "Yeah..." He sighed, looking at the stairs. "I guess your right." He looked around, as the area turned from a grassland, to a study filled with books. "I still can't believe this place still works..." Katjil said, sighing. "Aye." Makavar mumbled, sitting down at one of the desks as he pulled up a book. "It will continue working as long as..."
Makavar's words were interupted by a flash of blue, as Luna came running out to hug Katjil. "I-I've missed you so much Kat!" She said, tears once again in her eyes. "Why? Why did you leave us?" She asked him, as Celestia walked up, stopping behind Makavar. "I-I just wasn't thinking Luna." Katjil responeded, smiling as he hugged her back. "So, when are you telling them?" Celestia whispered to Makavar, looking at the book he was reading. "No," He responded to her question, smiling as Luna and Katjil caught up. "I don't plan on telling them. At least, not yet..." Celestia laughed, as Makavar closed the book.
The book was called 'Union of the winds - Ultimate Necromancy; By Zeirulious Klien Makavar.'
