//------------------------------// // Chapter 5 // Story: Guardian of Equestria - Rise of the Blue Sun // by BlueSun52 //------------------------------// Guardian of Equestria-Rise of the Blue Sun Chapter 5 First Day of Magic School At the new home of Ponyville’s new hero, Hawke is sleeping peacefully. As he was sleeping, Twilight came in the front door carrying some books with her magic and laid them down on the living room table. She went up stairs to found Hawke and saw him still sleeping. She got a bit annoyed by this and went to say, “Hawke you need to wake up.” Hawke opened his eyes slightly towards Twilight and said, “Good morning Twi, why are you waking me up? It’s too early.” Twilight then replied, “Hawke …it’s 11 in the morning.” “Like I said, too early,” he commented Twilight sighed and Hawke went back to sleep. Twilight used her magic to remove the sheets from him and pulled him off the bed, which cause him to fall. After Hawke fell, he know it was no use to resist against Twilight and her magic, so he decided to get up and ask, “Gees Twilight, What so important for you to pull me out of bed?” “One was to make sure you get of bed more early in the morning, so you would be more active. And two, Princess Celestia asked me to start teaching you,” Twilight answered Hawke then said, “But why? You already read all those books you gave me at the hospital about the history of Equestria and read them all to me.” “No, I’m not teaching you about history. I’m teaching you about magic and how to use it properly, so that way you can defend yourself well against other kinds of monsters,” she said and added, “so please for the LOVE OF CELESTIA PUTS SOME PANTS ON!” After hearing that, Hawke looked down and realized that he was just wearing a shirt and his boxer on and tried covering himself with his hands and said, “Ok, this wouldn’t have happened, if you had left me to sleep in peace.” Twilight turned red and angrily left his room, waiting outside for him to change. Hawke than started putting on the outfit that Rarity had made for him. When he was done, he check in the mirror how he was and was impress by the design that Rarity put together. The suit truly made Hawke look like an actual hero. He then stepped out of his room and saw Twilight waiting on him. They both went down stairs, Twilight grabbed her books with her magic, and they both went out through the front door. Time had pass as the two went to an open field that seemed to look like a training ground that was for someone trying to use magic. Spike was busy setting up the last of the practice dummies that there. He turned around and saw Hawke and Twilight coming towards him. As they were walking, Spike shouted out and said, “Hey Twilight, I got the last dummy ready to go.” “Alright Spike, good work,” Twilight complimented Then Spike said, “Hey there Hawke, how’s it hanging?” “Doing good, except the part that Twilight pulled me out of bed and saw me half naked,” Hawk said Twilight face turned red and Spike busted out laughing. Twilight quickly turned toward Hawke with an angry face and said, “HAWKE!?” Hawke then commented, “What? You did.” Twilight groaned, tried to cool off, and then she said, “Alright Hawke, this course is to help see how you physically good you are, and see if you can use your magic at will.” “Is that it? No problem,” Hawke replied. she then continued, “Now remember, you need to let the magic flow through you. It may take time to learn how to use them, but with practice you’ll know how to use them.” “Ok,” he replied “Just to let you know, none of the weapons are lethal and if there is course you can’t do, just skip it, ok?” she finished. “Alright, I’m ready to do this,” he said eagerly. Hawke got ready at the starting point. Twilight and Spike were watching him and had a first aid kit in case anything went wrong. As Twilight said go, Hawke started dashing towards the course. Sometime had passed and Hawke was in a lot of pain. Twilight was healing him with her magic, while Spike was fixing some of the course. When Twilight was done with some of the healing, she asked, "Hawke, why didn't you skip some of course like I suggested, instead of still running through them?" "I wanted to see if I can still I can make all the courses through in one shoot," Hawke said. "Hawke, your leg got hurt from the logs that rolled down towards you, then you tried to jump a large pit with a hurt leg, then you tried to swing across a river on a rope that wasn't tied to the tree yet, because you was still dizzy from the fall you took in the pit, and then you were too exhausted to do anything while the dummies were shooting tomato-tipped arrows at you, after that we had to stop you before you even tried to go through the ring of fire." "I'm pretty sure I would have made it through the ring of fire if I'd timed my jump correctly," Hawke replied. Twilight groaned and said, "Why didn't you try to use your magic? It seemed like you can do it just as easily like last time." "Well....it's because last time it was just dumb luck I guess, but I'm more afraid that I won't be able to control it and I might hurt someone," Hawke replied. Twilight was surprised to hear that answer. Normally a unicorn who had magic would normally use it on a daily basis and would have no problem with it. But when Twilight looks at Hawke, he was just a confuse colt who didn't know what to do and was more afraid of hurting somepony if he tried anything with his magic. Twilight laid next to him and said, " Hawke, I promise you, you won't hurt anypony while I'm around. I'll help you learn magic step by step, ok?" "....Alright, I trust you and I'll try to use my magic more often," Hawke replied. As they were looking into each other’s eyes, Spike suddenly shouted and said, “TIMBERWOLVES!” The group looked at the woods and saw a pack of three Timberwolves. Hawke couldn’t believe at what he was looking at, it was giant wolves that were literally made woods. As they prepared themselves for a fight for their lives, the Timberwolves began to charge right at them. Twilight fired two small balls of purple energy and Spike breathed out fire from his mouth. The Timberwolves went down one by one except the last that dodge Twilight enegy ball and head straight towards Hawke. Hawke was caught off guard wasn’t sure what to do next. As the wolf was about to be on top of him, he all of a sudden, he then summoned a force field around them and stopped the wolf’s attack. As soon as it stumbled, Hawke lowered the shield and Twilight used her energy ball again, this time it hit it dead on. It exploded into pieces and Hawke felt relived. Then all of sudden Twilight said, “We better get out of here, Timberwolves can put themselves together. They may even become a mega Timber wolf if we give them time.” “Well than after you,” Hawke said. After sometime they made it back to Twilight's house, Spike decided to head to bed early and went to his room. Twilight was having tea, while Hawke were just having hot chocolate. Twilight went ahead and said, "Hawke i'm proud that you were able to use that force field against that Timber wolf." "Thank you, it was the only think of at the time," Hawke replied. "Well still it was good, next time I'll teach you how to use more magic techniques like how to use a fireball and to use a energy spear, their a bit advance, but I think you can handle it," she said. "Ok that sounds like fun, can't wait," Hawke replied It was getting late and Hawke decided to head back to his place. He said his goodbye to Twilight and went home. On the way to his place, a thought had occurred to him. He realized that since he was going to be living here for longtime, he would need food, clothes, supplies, and anything he might need or want. For that to happen, he would need money, and to get money, he then thought to himself, “Oh Crap! I need a job.” End of Chapter 5
