After I got off the chariot, I waved bye to the Pegasus who carried me. "Time to begin a new life it seems" I say outloud. 

"Welcome to our new castle Glass." I hear Celestia say as she approached from where they landed. "Need any help getting around the castle?" 

"Knowing I know nothing about it, that would be a great help." I say smiling. 

"Guards?" Celestia says outloud as a few guards approach from seemingly nowhere. "Please show mis Glass to one of our guest rooms. her situation is a tad complicated and we need some time to sort a few things out. Make her feel welcomed and that she has access to the brewing room." 

"You have a brewing room? Talk about an expensive amount of equipment you have. Or did things get easier to make over the last 1000 years?" I ask knowing what it costed me back then just to get started making potions.  

"It's not all that bad now, but some ingredients are still quite expensive to get or make." Celestia replied  

I understood and followed the guards to the guest room. 

**TIME SKIP** 

Soon I got settled into my rather large room which now that I can think about this kind of stuff, was like a small house. Probably bigger than my small house and workshop combined. then I went to the door and saw the guards that where posted in front of the door in case I needed anything. So, I decided to do what I do best. "Excuse me, but could you get me a few things?" I say in a friendly voice 

"Depends on what you need" the guard replies 

"I just need books about potions and potion making. Modern ones of course. And could I get some tea and snacks as well? I like to enjoy them while reading." I say and explain to the guard. they think about it for a moment and one of them nods and asks a passing maid to get what I wanted. Which, while convienient, was not what I was hoping for. So I have my books, tea and snacks. Then I decided to learn about what improvements they have made over the last 300 years if what Celestia said was correct.  

**ONE STUDY SESSION LATTER** 
“Wow, just wow... guess she wasn’t kidding about me being the best pony.” I say out loud after reading up on the so-called advancements that they made. It was clear that nopony could hold a candle to what I achieved back then. It was all simple stuff like, lasting longer, effective quicker, ingredient substitution, and so on. “Guess I’ll have to make improvements weather they like it or not. I’m going to fulfill my dream and make it a reality.” I exclaim to myself as I get fresh paper, a quill and decided to get started on recreating my notes as best as I could.
