Astral threw herself at the nearest spellbook, tearing through the pages for the spell. She didn't have the Transformation spell memorized, so she would have to keep the book on hand.

Turning her front hooves into claws and giving herself another horn, she sighed as she sank back on her bed, the headaches now gone. Her magic was getting to the point where even Advanced Spells weren't doing that much to get rid of her magical overload.

She was still getting nowhere with Mind Magic, but her Weather Control had vastly improved, as she could now fill her entire room up with clouds. She wondered if at some point she would be able to make it rain at some point.

I miss the rain.

Astral cringed, closing her eyes as she laid in bed, before sitting up abruptly.

No point in reminiscing, she told herself. That gets us nowhere.

She threw herself off, determined to do something productive today.


As she trotted through town, Astral heard some very angry voices rise from just isnide a store. Ducking in, she was surprsed to find Bilingual in an argument with another stallion in Germane.

"Well maybe if you pulled your head out of your ass and stopped being a communist fuckstick, we wouldn't be having this conversation!" The other stallion roared in Germane, before stomping past Astral and outside.

"Mr Bilingual? What was that about?" Astral asked, squinting after the other stallion.

Bilingual sighed and ran a hoof down his face. "Nothing dearie. A lot of ponies still think that other, non ponies shouldn't be seen as our equals. That's all."

"Ah" Astral said, nodding, before galloping out of the shop.


"Astral?" Starlight asked, shoving through the small crowd that had formed around her daughter and a stallion she recognized as Perfect Grammar. "What's going on?"

Because it looked like her daughter was in the middle of a screaming match with Grammar. In Germane.

"Krabbeln Sie in den Arsch und sterben Sie rassistisch- oh hallo mutter" Astral said, noticing her mom standing there, mouth agape.

"Äh, Astral, geht es deiner Mutter gut?" Bilingual, who had up till this point had his face buried firmly in his hooves, looked up to glance between the frozen adult and child.

"Oh ja, sie wusste einfach nicht, dass ich Germane kannte" Astral said over her shoulder, before turning back to her mom.
"Entschuldigung Mama- I mean, sorry mom, I should of have told you about this before." Nodding at Bilingual and glaring at Grammar, she walked past her mom in the direction of their castle.
