Report on the Majin situation : First entry - Day one
As the Princesses oldest friend, and after following them during most of their life -and i intend to stay with them until my old body finally gives up- I saw quit my share of oddities. But nothing prepared me to what we met this morning. The creatures that i knew as an old legend, almost only a rumor at this point, have revealed themselves to be real. I wonder how many legends we know could contain some kind of truth… Now, to those who’ll read my notes in the future, let me share with you my notes on our strange guests :
But that’s not the point of this entry. After Celestia transported us all to the castle’s entrance, our new “friends”, unlike most ponies that experienced teleportation, didn’t seem to get any trouble, only looking around a bit confused. Then the bigger one’s stomach growled, making his sister and Luna chuckle, prompting Celestia to invite everyone to head to my tower since the kitchen was closer from my laboratory than the rest of the castle
…What ?Some ingredients are both useful for magic and cooking… and i may sometimes need a small snack… A-am i really writing that on my report?! And of course i forget to buy more...Sorry my dearsBack to the task at hoof. Once the five of us sitting in the library, we then tried to see what they do remember and how we could help.As it turned out, the female was the smartest, since -if the legend was accurate- her fusion has been the most successful. Able to keep a perfectly sound conversation with us despite her somewhat exuberant personality, she also seemed to be a rather big eater. Side note - That might be troublesome as the food is still scarce after the winter that the windigoes brought on us; although, thanks to Clover, Smart Cookie, the private Pansy and their influence on their respective leaders, the hatred between the tribes finally got put to rest.
Her brother, on the other hoof, was very foalish, using short sentences and showing a tendency to give petname to everypony… After he called the princesses “Woona” and “Tia”, he looked at me and dubbed me “Jiji” - with my lack of knowledge about the Kaioshins, i have no idea where that came from.
During the tea, i witnessed some strange phenomenon, while sitting in the sofa, the sister wanted something i left a bit out of reach and just stretched her arm and took it. And her brother just ate the biscuit case, literally ate the case. So, after we were done with that and with the Majins’ consent, i casted a few diagnosis spell to analyse them. And their results surprised me: each of them was filled with both powerful magic and an unknown source of power. Even if from what i could see from other informations, they couldn’t tap into that potential fully yet. Another scan revealed that their flesh, while perfectly tangible, was also composed of a huge amount of magic. In a sense, it’s almost as if they were like Discord, beings born of pure magic. Although, unlike the spirit of Chaos, the Majins didn’t seem to be hostiles. Side note - Discord, despite his malice never seemed to really aim to hurt anypony, his creations were chaotic but weren’t meant to hurt… Although, his sense of humor was special to say the least… But if we could channel his impulse… I need to talk to the Princesses about that.
Once the scan done and with the fact that they were magical being, an idea appeared in my head since they didn’t have any names, and it would be rude to keep referring to them in any other way. So, i asked them if they would be mad, should i name them myself. Then, since they gave me they consent, i dubbed the female Alaka (tho she shortened it to Aly for her brother and the three of us) and the male was now known as Zam. Side note - I decided to keep it short since with his mind i wasn’t sure how much he could remember. Plus, as they were mostly magical beings, it seems fitting to name them after an old incantation
Since they seemed to like their new names, we all smiled and as i guided them to the part of my tower they could take as their room. teleporting one of the guest room's bed, i transformed one of my study room into a rather nice makeshift bedroom. Side note - I wanted them into my tower just incase Luna was right and they were just misleading us with their innocence.
Report on the Majin situation : Second entry - Eighth Day
Today marks the end of the first week of cohabitation between Equestrians and our Majins friends. Despite a few harmless pranks, our guests doesn't seem to hide any ill intents. Even if, for some reasons, Luna and I show slights headaches ever since we went to the cave. And,despite all my efforts, i can’t seem to find the cause… So i think i’ll add my notes on these headaches after my report of the week.
The Majins are definitely full of surprises. At dinner, after he saw that the limited reserves of food forced us to give him less than usual, Zam started to throw a tantrum. Even his sister, that until now always knew how to calm him down, was unable to stop his anger… Until Luna, tired cause of the headaches, scolded him. Shocked, our guest stopped and turned his head, looking at the window. Just as Alaka was about to say something, Zam frowned and vanished.
Aside from Aly, we were all shocked to see him teleporting away since he never used magic before. and even then, his spell didn’t release any kind of magical energy. Then, Aly disappeared too, leaving me with Celestia and Luna. Worried, Celestia flew out by the window while Luna and i searched the castle. Hindsight - I never mentioned any staff members because, while the princesses indeed were crowned a few weeks before the Majins were released, it took time for the administration to get started.
I will not describe our frenetic chase since it isn’t the more interesting part of the incident. The most attention-worthy event came when Celestia flew back to us a few minutes later and guided us to the bottom of the crack in front of the castle, where the Cave was. There, we saw the Majins - or at least Zam - changing the rocks around him in pastries, cakes and others sweets with a flick of the tentacle on his head. Despite our surprise, we quickly recovered and stepped forward, the big child turning around to smile, visibly calmed down by the sweets he made. Aly, on the other hoof seemed pretty distraught by her brother’s antics, as we found her staring at him, her eyes sometimes darting to her bangs, as if she wondered if she could do the same. As we approached her, she sighed and bowed her head, asking us to forgive her brother’s behavior. Celestia quickly dismissed her request as, for her there was nothing to forgive, on the other hand, Luna, a bit embarrassed by her outburst, stood silent, watching Zam fire another of his “Chocolate Beam”. Sidenote : That spell could be useful with the food shortage, even more so if he can change anything into any kind of food… I just hope there is no time limit on the transformation. On a Majin, with their magical bodizs it won’t do much but one a pony... hrmmm This calls for some researches !
Aside from this event, the week went pretty well, Aly being rather interested in learning the story of our world and study under my tutelage. Her brother on the other hoof seemed to be content with just spending time in Luna’s room, serving as a companion during the night. And, despite her growing headaches, she seemed to take a liking for Zam, his company helping her fight off her dark thoughts; as she even started to warm up to us once more….
