I slept badly that night due to nightmares that caused me to wake up early in the morning.
When I open my eyes, I immediately see the plush in front of me and notice that I am holding it in all 4 hooves. I put the bear toy aside, crawl out from under the covers and climb out of bed.
When I got down, I headed into the corridor and walked towards Twinkleshine’s room. I approached this room and looked inside, through the open door, I saw that she was sleeping.
Deciding that I didn't want to wake her up, I went to my room with the thought that I needed to practice walking so that I could walk well and not look weird and awkward.
I tried various options to rearrange the hooves, but after a while I realized that maybe the problem is not in the hooves, but in the fact that the tail changes my balance and if I do not control it, then I start to fall.
A few minutes after I realized what position the tail should be in. It should be torn off the ground so that the tail does not catch on and does not interfere with the legs, it should also not wag strongly from side to side, so that the tail does not turn into a pendulum.
It became much easier for me to move, but it was still not easy, but as long as the tail was in the correct position, it was much easier for me to try different walking options, and in the end I figured out how it should be roughly.
The more I practiced, the less I thought about my movements, bringing them to automaticity, but if I went too deeply into my thoughts, then I fell.
After this workout, I noticed that the sun had already risen higher than it was originally, and I again went into the corridor, towards Twinkleshine’s room.
I went to this room and looked inside, through a crack between the wall and the door, this time the inside of the room was empty and decided that there was nothing else for me to do on this floor, so I went downstairs.
Approaching the stairs, I turned my back forward again and slowly descended, because I was still afraid to go down face forward and I didn't really want to fall down the stairs either.
Going down the stairs, I turn towards the living room and go there. I go inside the room and over to the telescope, which was near the window.
I wanted to observe through a telescope. Coming closer, I notice that the telescope is much higher than it looked from the side, but there was something like a step next to it. I climbed on it and noticed with a little surprise, ‘Now I am tall enough to look through a telescope.’
Looking inside, I understand that I see nothing but the blue sky, but for some reason only now I remember that it is day now, and during the day the stars are not visible. I was about to move away from the telescope, but I heard a familiar voice from behind, which apparently spoke to me.
“Good morning astronomer,” Twinkleshine said, barely holding back a smile and giggling softly.
I turned around and saw that she was walking in my direction and when Twinkleshine came up to me, she said with a smile: “Silly Twinky, you should have looked through a telescope at night, not during the day. How could you forget such a simple thing? "
‘I want to sink into the ground, how could I even forget about such an elementary thing? Probably, the whole problem is that I was in the body of a child ... Yes, I believe that it is this body that is to blame for this act, if I were myself, I would have guessed right away?’ - I thought.
While I was standing and blushing imperceptibly for myself, because of a little shame that I felt, Twinkleshine unnoticed for me turned around and went towards the kitchen.
I went down this step and heard a strange sound. I wondered what it was and so I headed towards the source of the sound. Approaching a little closer to the source of the sound, I managed to find out what it was.
‘Are these the sounds of how food is being prepared?’ - I wondered, and as I walked a little closer, I smelled a pleasant smell from the kitchen and therefore agreed that these were the sounds of cooking.
Approaching the kitchen, I looked around the corner, showing only my head to sneak a peek at what was happening in the kitchen, but Twinkleshine immediately noticed me and said that the food would be ready soon and I needed to go brush my teeth after that. I'll have to go downstairs to eat.
As I walked up the stairs, the thought occurred to me that I had forgotten to find out where Ivory and her husband were. Reflecting further, I became curious what kind of strange and a little terrible dream I had.
At that moment, all the pieces of the puzzle began to gather in my head and I thought jumped into my head - 'Was I born in this body? But what about my human body? After all, I was in the hospital, there were doctors ... '
‘If I was born in this world and in this body, then why don’t I remember life until the last days? Why don't I remember the last moments of my life? I had so few answers, but so many questions ' - I also thought.
"Oh!" I screamed. It hurt, and I rubbed the horn with frustration. While I was thinking and walking at the same time, I did not follow my path and bumped my head into the bathroom door. “Going and thinking at the same time is a bad idea,” I muttered.
After a blow, which was not the quietest, Twi's excited voice came from the first floor: "Is everything okay?"
“Yes!?” I shouted uncertainly. But now I noticed that the bathroom door was open due to my accident and now I will have no problem opening it.
‘At least some plus in this situation’ - I thought.
After I brushed my teeth with diligence and a little suffering, due to my not yet ideal movements with hooves, like hands, I went to the first floor in order to have breakfast, but as soon as I got out of the bath, my stomach gave a signal that he is hungry and I hurried a little to the kitchen.
When I went down to the first floor and sat down to breakfast, Twinkleshine sat down with me at the table. I needed to start eating, but I couldn't because I don't know how to do it, and if I start eating in some weird or unusual way, Twinkleshine will be suspicious.
I tried to grab the cutlery with my hooves and start eating, but I was still not uncomfortable.
Twinkleshine notices this and immediately asks, "Hey, why didn't you use your magic?"
"Well ... um ... I'm playing a game ... It's just for fun ... I think ..." I replied.
Twinkleshine seemed happy with the answer, perhaps thinking I was weird, but it didn't matter now, so we just kept eating breakfast. "Anyway, we're having a party tonight, would you like to come with me?" Twinkleshine asked.
I replied that I did want to read today. She accepted it, but looked disappointed, probably because this body usually accompanied her to such events, but I was not sure about it. It seemed that a little more, and she would be able to discover that I was not her sister, so I needed to find ways to get out of my world as soon as possible.
Noticing this, I decided to correct the situation a little and, after thinking a little, said: "Sorry, but I think I'm still a little tired."
When I looked at Twinkleshine again, I saw that her mood had improved slightly.
"It's okay, don't worry, I understand everything, but I need to go to the market soon for groceries so that we have food, after that I will return home to sort out the purchases and go to the party, if you suddenly change your mind and decide to go with me, then let me know."
When she talked about the party, it seemed to me that her ears were a little lower for a moment, but I agreed with what she said and after finishing the last bite, I finished breakfast and went to my room.
Back in the room, I decided I wanted to read a book on the history of the place, but the thought came to my mind that if I could study magic, such as levitation. then I could give myself more time before I was discovered. I decided that I would study magic first, because if I did otherwise, I would only have a couple of days before I was revealed.
I found the book I needed, pulled it out of the closet and took it to the bed.
After I climbed onto the bed with the book, I opened it and started looking for the levitation spell. When I found the place I needed, I noticed that what was written in the book was much more difficult than the * first light * spell, but I tried to figure it out.
Remembering the instructions I had just read, I was about to start trying magic, but immediately remembered that the last time the aura from magic hypnotized me when I looked at it. This option did not suit me and I decided that I needed to come up with something.
I looked around the room for anything that might help me. But of the available items that I could use, there were only a few books and a pillow, so I sat down and tried to figure out what could be made of it.
After a while, an idea came to my mind - I put one book vertically, and the other horizontally, but one edge is holding on to the edge of another book, and the other is holding on to a raised hoof. There was a pillow on top of this book.
Now, if the aura hypnotizes me and I did everything right, then when I am hypnotized, then my hoof will be relaxed, and because of this, the book will fall to the floor, and the pillow will fall on my eyes.
Hoping this would work, and hoping that my imagination was working properly, I tried to create magic.
To levitate an object, I needed to create an imaginary envelope of my energy around the object, like wrapping it in a blanket.
After trying a new spell, I couldn't do it the first time. I repeated - over and over, but I couldn't.
If the magic of igniting the light seemed to redirect some of the mana to my horn to make it glow, then the magic of levitation was different.
To raise the object I needed, I tried to lift the object with the help of a stream of magic, just as I lifted objects with my hand. But it seems my magic was not trained, just like the muscles in my arms, so it also needed to be trained, like the muscles - practice and gradual weight gain. Because of this, the association with the magic of levitation was deposited in my head, like a new muscle that needs to be created, controlled and trained.
I took the object into my aura and tried to move it. To make sure that I was moving the object, I opened my eyes and noticed that the other book, taken as the object, did not budge. Every time I opened my eyes and checked the result, my aura hypnotized me constantly, but the pillow always saved me, closing my eyes.
‘At least my system works’ - I was glad it worked, since I was not going to give up.
I tried again and again, but after each attempt I felt more and more tired and after a while I realized that I was very tired and needed a break.
I left the room and go up to the stairs, I decided to try to go down facing forward, but after a couple of steps, I got scared and I decided to continue going backwards. Going down the stairs, I was in my thoughts and thought: 'It seemed that I was doing everything right, but my magic did not work, and then I assumed that it was too difficult for me to take the book, because it is too heavy, and my magic requires training. '
I went down to the first floor and headed towards the kitchen to find something to eat there. When I got to the kitchen, I noticed that there were sandwiches on the table and a note that my sister had prepared this for me and left it for me, after which I left.
I wanted to find out what time it was, and turning to the sound of the ticking of the clock, which for some reason I had not noticed before, I found the clock. But after looking at them, I realized that I do not remember how to use such a watch, because in my world almost all watches have already been replaced with digital ones. But if my intuition did not let me down, then several hours have passed since I trained my magic.
I walked over to the seat near the table, then climbed onto it and started eating.
After eating, I decided to go up to my room and continue my work.
“If the items are too heavy or I'm doing something wrong, I need to get creative,” I muttered.
So I remembered a book on magic on the top shelves of the closet that I had noticed before.
I went to the closet and again noticed this book, it was on a high shelf, and I could not reach it with my hooves or teeth, so I decided to try to get it with my magic, but the book turned out to be too heavy, as I expected.
After several attempts to get this book and a few minutes of reflection, I realized that if I cannot take the book because it is heavy, then I need to throw it on the floor. To do this, it was not necessary to lift the entire book, it was enough to pull hard enough on the upper corner of the book, and it could fall.
I closed my eyes and tried my idea, I covered the corner of the book with my aura and tugged at it with jerks.
After every attempt I made, this book came close to the edge of the shelf and was about to fall, but since the book was really heavy, even if I didn't have to lift it, it was still difficult. But now I could at least move the book, but slowly.
After I managed to drop the book on the floor, I took the book to my structure, which protected me from hypnosis, sat down next to me and opened the section I needed, I began to read.
I looked for clues for my levitation and it seemed like I found what I needed, but noticed that there is a note - only for experienced pony wizards. I decided to take a chance and do it because I wanted to master levitation as soon as possible.
I read about how you can lift not the object itself, but its uh ... the essence? I didn't quite understand what that meant, but I needed to try it.
After folding the books and pillows again so as not to accidentally hypnotize myself, I began to try this spell.
I plunged into myself and quickly felt my mana, but this time it seemed to me that this is not all the energy and that I can get more. I felt it and therefore kept trying.
At some point, I succeeded and I suddenly discovered a really large source of energy, but it felt like something that could not be touched, as if this mana was for something special or was some kind of important reserve, But this feeling didn't stop me from continuing.
I redirected all my energy into the horn and began to take energy from here, enveloping, as it seemed to me, not the object itself, but its essence. But after a couple of moments, I realized that something was not going according to plan.
I tried to stop, but I couldn’t, this mana was coming out of me faster and faster, I do random spells, from the simplest to those that I did not even know about. Pictures of spells that I had seen looking for the ones I needed floated to my mind. And so I see how I turn a math notebook into a bunch of bananas, and the curtain, after the effect of magic, turned into water and wet the entire floor, firing into a bag lying in the corner of the room.I noticed that it turned into a drawing on a sheet of paper. Then I remembered the pictures in the living room.
First, a photo of the parents of this body, these ponies were standing in some village and suddenly again a wave of magic and I stand in the place of this photo, I see a pink pony that immediately shouts: “Welcome to Ponyvi ...” I think of a photo of Twinkleshine next to my body, next to some school and another flash of magic, and I find myself in this place, I see a school called
* Princess Celestia's School of Gifted Unic ... *
I teleport again, but in ... the throne room ... Two ponies the size of my bookcase turn toward me. One pony is snow-white with the sign of the sun on its side, the other is the color of the night with the sign of the moon on its side. They also had strange manes fluttering in the wind ... but there was no wind. They stare at me in shock, and I teleport again, but it seemed to me that I reduced all the tables in their room.
And so, I again stand in my room, or rather, lie. It seems it was an uncontrollable flash or something like that, I didn't have the strength to think, I felt exhausted. I wanted to get up, but there was no strength, my legs hurt and they asked me to lie down. I was completely devastated and did not feel the strength in myself. I couldn't even move my head.
One of Twinkleshine's friends anxiously poked her in the side and pointed his hoof in the direction of her house.
When Twinkleshine turned around, she saw a light show taking place around her house and several magic beams flying into the sky without touching anything. One of the spells lit a star in the middle of the daytime sky, but quickly disappeared.
Fearing for her sister, she abandoned everything, without even saying goodbye to her friends, and ran home at maximum speed.
I lay and did not understand what was happening, my body again did not obey me, I tried to get up, but every time the hooves parted in different directions, so I just lay there and hardly moved, waiting for something.
After a while, I hear distant sounds from the entrance, as the door swings open quickly and loudly.
After that, the sound of running up the stairs reaches my ears, and then my door almost explodes and appears ... Twinkleshine.
I was inwardly glad that she came, but I did not have the strength even for a smile or some kind of sound.
Twinkleshine quickly looked around the room and almost instantly spotted me before exclaiming, "Sweet Celestia, Twinkys!"
