"Hello Princess Celestia, what are you doing here?," I said nervously, and used my eyes to look around the room.
She answered, "Well, these are my quarters after all. But you know we are hear to discuss your actions from tonight. How could you dis-obey your duty, and you made us all worry. Luckily, Luna found you flying back. You thought we wouldn't notice, did you?," she stated then pointed me to a chair.
I sat in the chair, and started to think of a response that won't make her even more angry with me. I decided to tell her what I truly felt, but in a way she would understand.
I took a big breathe and spoke my mind.
"Princess, you sent me to Ponyville to study friendship because you knew if I learned I could become a princess. But through that experience I've learned many things about friendship. One of the most important ones was to be their for your friends because they will be their for you. And so, I was there for my friend Rarity on her biggest day she's ever had in her fashion carrier. But when the guard came, and we were in the air, I made the choice to be their for her. Especially, because one her models was sick with the pony pox, and I decided to fill in for her. Can you please understand how hard it is for me now that these wings, and crown are attached to me ! Now everyone thinks I'm a different person. No I'm still Twilight. Can you understand my inner crisis?," I said to her.
She put her wing around me and said." Let me show you something."
She guided me to a secret room which was in the south tower. The room has stain glass windows of different ponies. Below each one was a quote that they had said.
She used her hoof to stop me. Then she spoke," Were here. The sacred sanctuary the fallen."
"Sanctuary of the fallen? Why did you bring me here?," I asked.
She took a breathe, and pointed to the many windows in the room.
"These ponies are the greatest of their generation. The first one is of Star Swirl the Bearded. He was a student, and friend of mine when I just had become a princess. The second one Gaia, a unicorn who could lift the earth with his magic, and use it to create mountains, and the caves that we are in now. Fantasia-mare was the third. She was a graceful pony who could command instruments to create harmonizing music. The reason I'm showing you these great ponies from the past is to show you what I have to live through each day. All of them were my closest friends," Celestia said.
I was shocked by her statement. Why didn't she tell me about before she sent me to study friendship? I have to ask. I asked her that same question, she took me to the end of the line then she spoke.
"The reason was Twilight that if I did then you would of not learned anything. If me or Luna helped you in any of villain encounters then you would of not learned those very important moral lessons. After Star Swirl's spell failed his whole body began to change. Since the spell wasn't complete the spell transformed Star Swirl into something a bit darker," the Princess said.
Suddenly, she used her magic to create a huge field of light that engulfed us both. When I came two we where in the Canterlot Royal Library. I was shocked to see Star Swirl the Bearded writing in his journal.
"What is he doing?," I asked her.
"Just watch, and you'll see," she said and I stared at him.
He was writing intently making sure each word was perfect. A few minutes later he stopped, and stood up. He walked up the spiral star case, but I decided to follow him. As I watched he opened Library's secret room which has always been locked off to visitors. I figured that since he was the student of the princess, that he would be allowed to enter. Quickly running, I went in behind him.
"Finally, it's ready. This spell should make me pass Celestia's final exam. She said to do something complete. So making my own spell, was simple but tedious. If my theory's right that this spell should give me the wings I desire which will give me the power to rule at her side. Maybe then she will finally expect my hoof in holy marriage," the stallion said as he sat down.
He opened a small box with a ring inside.
"He wanted to be your husband?," I asked her.
She nodded. Her look was telling me to keep paying attention. I didn't want to make her even more angry with me so I obeyed.
Star Swirl started to cast his spell. The room's many books started to fly around us. I tried to grab one but to no avail.
"One to another, another to one. A mark of one's destiny single out alone fulfilled," he said.
He started to glow. The many flashing light blinded my eyes. Quickly, the princess casted a shield spell to protect us from the blinding light caused by the spell. I could hear the agonizing screams from within the shield.
"What is happening princess?," I asked with curiosity.
She started to cry when she said," He is changing into his true self. I never wanted this to happen to him, but this was his destiny from the day he was born. I am powerless to stop this. Twilight this is the reason I raised you so carefully."
After her last words the room became dark. In a matter of seconds I realized my teachers reasons for her actions, she didn't want to become like him. The look on my face basically told her what I was feeling at the moment. When the smoke cleared, I new what had become of my idol: a monster.
"Huh, what is this? It seems the spell back fired some how. Let me check the mirror to see my new look.," he said then he went over to the mirror.
He picked up the mirror and well he didn't like what he saw.
"No! Why in the world am I? In all of my years of study, I'm puzzled by what creature I've become. Oh, well I have to try to explain this to her anyway," he said.
"I've seen enough.," said some pony who walked in the room.
After a few seconds I realized it was Princess Celestia, and Luna who looked around my age. Luna looked similar to the way she looked when after we defeated her as Nightmare Moon. On the other hand, my teacher looked drastically different. Her mane was a bit shorter, but was only a light pink. Although, both of their crowns were exactly the same.
"What have you done here?," Luna asked in the Royal Canterlot voice.
He replied, "Me? I have done exactly what your lovely sister told me to do. She said to do something complete."
He held up his journal with the spell on it, and continued to say," See! This is what I've been working on I made a complete spell. Out of curiosity, I decided to test it. But after the spell was used I transformed into this thing. Now dear Celestia, did I pass?"
She shook her head. His face was shocked by her response.
"I refuse to call you my student. Your desire for power caused this change. You are known to be known as Discord! This spell is incomplete!," she said and she stamped a stamp with the same word on the journal.
"So that's why you hate Discord so much because he was your old student! By why didn't you tell me?," I said.
She didn't answer, but she opened a portal back to the present. Even though I wanted to see more I didn't have a choice. We both were transported back to the secret room.
Celestia walked me back to my room, and gave me one last piece of advice.
"Listen, never ever disobey your duties or else," she said as she closed the door.
Today was just wild. I learned so much, but I feel so bad. And I just remembered I have classes tomorrow. The bed sheets rapped me, as I snuggled up into my bed thinking what tomorrow would bring.
