//------------------------------// // The Princess's Concerns. // Story: Shadow Sky In a New World // by Shadow Skysito //------------------------------// But what a beautiful day, it's Sunday, there's no school, this should be a quiet day... right? "¡¡¡DAMN IT, I CAN'T FIND OUT ANYTHING AT ALL, THE BOOK PRINCESS LUNA GAVE ME IS NOT ENOUGH TO EXECUTE SOME FORMULA TO OPEN A PORTAL TO MY DIMENSION, AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW MUCH TIME I HAVE LEFT!!!" I could not have a quiet day, the threat of death made me very nervous, reading is all I could do, even these days I have gone like crazy to the castle of the two sisters bringing tons of books, I have leafed through most of the books, but none give positive results... I'm not sure... but maybe I can't make the portal... before "he" arrives... Everything is very complicated for Shadow Sky, while at the same time in Sugar Cute Corner a party in honor of Princess Celestia was running. "I'm sorry to report this dear subjects, but I have to retire now, there is a problem that I urgently need to attend to." The princess had already been there for a couple of hours, but she "feeled" it again, that sensation, she perceived a very strange magic, chaotic to be exact. She didn't plan to stay without doing anything, she already knew where to look. "I know I said it was a mere child... but because this keeps increasing every time I get closer to ville, I need to find out..." The princess got up and left Sugar Cute Corner. "So, back to the castle majesty? ...majesty?" When the pony looked around her, Princess Celestia had disappeared without a trace. "I knew that this invisibility spell would be useful to me in the future, I hope I can find the 'anomaly', and be done with it." The princess murmured. The princess knows high-ranking spells, obviously, she used an invisibility spell to sneak into the village, she searched for the most powerful source of magic she sensed, until she reached Shadow Sky's house. "So the magic comes from this house, with the owner's permission, but I'm going to have to go inside." Princess Celestia thought as she crept into the house. It would be very strange if someone saw that the door of a house opened and closed by itself. "It's coming from that room…it seems there's someone inside." Luckily for the princess, Shadow had left the door open. "Come on... come on... ¡¡¡agh!!!... I can't... not yet..." The young foal exclaimed sadly. "Wow, what is he doing?" The princess thought confused. She quietly began to slowly approach the foal, the invisibility could last a long time, but the spell has a limit, the princess hoped that she would not run out of time. Getting close enough to Shadow she began to read what he had written in a notebook. "Math problems?...wait, these are not math problems at his level, maybe this will be seen in college, what does a kid do solving college problems?" She thought with extreme confusion. Shadow just kept solving. "According to the books I found in the castle of the two sisters, they talk about a 'formula', but I didn't think it was literally a mathematical formula, I'm good at math, but this is too much, I can barely formulate a basic part of the formula. "supposed" equation, and I haven't found the base, so technically I'm creating my own... let's just say it's not the easiest thing..." Shadow Sky thought with a lot of stress. It is not healthy for my mental health, this is breaking me. "What is he thinking? He doesn't seem to be having a good time, he looks stressed, sad, but above all frustrated, what the hell is going on?" The confused princess thought. "Let's see, maybe if I divide the formula by 4 to the seventh power, that would give us a somewhat confusing result, it would be in total... 14 million three hundred forty-four thousand eight hundred thirty-eight... maybe if I apply square root in the dividend that combines with the exponent of the result of 14 operations ago... 3 million four hundred thirty-eight thousand four hundred thirty-eight... ¡¡¡AGH!!!, ¡¡¡DAMN IT!!!" He exclaimed furiously. "What the hell is wrong with this kid?" Princess Celestia wondered as she watched in awe of Shadow Sky's mathematical abilities. She stayed watching for a while, Shadow Sky wouldn't give up, she kept trying, over and over again, until a warm comfort came unexpectedly. "¡HELLO SHADOW!" "¡¡¡AAAHHH!!!" Shadow was startled by the sudden arrival of Sweetie Belle. "Hey Shadow, do you want to go get something to eat?" asked Sweetie Belle. "Sweetie Belle, I told you not to scare me like that!" exclaimed Shadow. "Sorry hehe, it's just that I got hungry, so I came to see if you wanted to go for a pizza." "A pizza?... I guess that's okay." "Great, I've seen you very stressed these days, so I wanted to see if I could de-stress you somehow." "A pizza would be great to release some stress, I'm starving." "In that case, I invite this time, it will be my thanks for the chocolate on February 14." "Haha, Sweetie Belle, that was a week ago, it's not necessary, it wasn't a chocolate out of obligation, I was the one who wanted to give it to you, you don't need to reward me." "Well, maybe you're right, in that case, take it to mean that I want you to stop being so mortified, and take a break from…whatever it is you do to stress yourself out." "...haha, alright, let's go." "¡Okay!" Shadow Sky and Sweetie Belle left the room, Celestia stayed inside looking around, she could see a large number of books, but more importantly, on the desk where Shadow Sky was working were her notes, Celestia began to read the note that I had left there. "Let's see..." Note: It's been more than 3 months since I got here, I've desperately tried to get out of here, but none of my attempts have been successful, his arrival is getting closer and I don't know what to do, I'll have to keep reading, I don't care how long it takes, but if It is necessary, I will try until the end. "His...arrival?...what do you mean?..." Luckily, Shadow's notes were nowhere to be seen, that day's note didn't specifically talk about Discord or his dimension, so Celestia didn't discover Shadow Sky's intentions, but still, she was getting a little suspicious. Celestia left the room, she didn't think about the matter so much, so she just started looking for Shadow Sky, the magic she perceived on the anniversary day was weaker than this time, something had changed, it was stronger, thanks to that she manage to find Shadow without so much complication. Shadow Sky and Sweetie Belle were enjoying a delicious pizza, Celestia decided to spy from a distance, it seems that the invisibility lasts longer than expected, it seems that Sweetie Belle and Shadow Sky were just having a normal conversation, nothing suspicious, the only suspicious thing was the magic he sensed from Shadow Sky. After that, Shadow Sky followed Sweetie Belle to Sugar Cute Corner, where they ate cupcakes, washed down with strawberry milkshakes. Sweetie Belle headed to the clubhouse, Shadow Sky accompanied her, obviously, a couple of activities to discover her Cute Marks later, Celestia was already bored, she was just observing the daily activities of a brat, but, because Shadow Sky was doing those mathematical operations?, why is he so frustrated?... why does he suffer so much?, there was nothing else the princess was thinking about, the way he behaves in his day-to-day life did not coincide with the feeling of "threat " that emanated, he looks like a normal child... but he's so weird. "I think thats enough..." Princess Celestia gave up, she couldn't leave her political position for so long, it was already too late, and she completely disappeared, the royal guards will be worried, she flew to the village, while she watched Shadow Sky from afar with a little worried, when she got to the ville, the invisibility had ended, she ran into the guards, "I finished my royal duty, we can retire now", said the princess, indicating to the royal guards that it was time to go home, moments After Twilight's friends arrived at the town's central fountain, only to realize that Princess Celestia's pet had "literally" turned to dust, when Flutter Shy began to cry, Princess Celestia explained that her pet was a phoenix, so there was nothing to worry about. The princess was about to leave, but not before seeing Shadow Sky walking in the distance in the company of the Cute Marks Crusaders, to Celestia's eyes, Shadow Sky was surrounded by a black gloom, she was confused, she still couldn't believe it, she just She could tell herself, "He's just a kid", to stop getting so upset, she returned to Canterlot with a bitter taste. "Good night sister, how was the party?" asked Princess Luna. "It went well, thanks for the concern Luna." "I'm glad to hear that, you should get some rest, you look exhausted." "I'll do that, thanks Luna, you stay in charge." "Good night sis." Princess Luna had bumped into Princess Celestia in the hallway of the dormitories, Luna was in a hurry, she wanted to get to Shadow Sky's dream fast, she managed to find 2 more books, so she hurried to get to Shadow Sky's room. - At the same time in PonyVille - Shadow Sky had gone to bed after such a busy day, who would have said that the folk dance would be so heavy, but there was something that puzzled him. "Because I have the feeling... that I was watched all day... what an unpleasant feeling." I didn't know what was happening, I felt a chill at that moment, after a moment of rambling in my head I fell asleep. "Shadow, I found something!" Princess Luna exclaimed with joy. "...princess Luna...how long." Shadow had not seen Princess Luna for more than 1 month, he was happy to see her, and even more so because he had finally managed to find something useful, 2 new volumes that could keep the formula to travel between dimensions.
