It was about two years since Ghost had been with Smokey at the blacksmith’s, and finally it was time to leave the stallion who substituted as his father. Ghost knew he couldn’t bear to say goodbye to Smokey directly so he left him a note, strapped on the sword to his side, and left at midnight. Ghost found himself walking away, far away from his home for the past two years. By this time he was edging around the age to becoming a young stallion. 

He looked up at the starry sky “it’s such a beautiful sight, I wish I could watch it for an eternity” he muttered as he was walking. On the side of the road he was traveling on he came towards an old mare that seemed to be waiting for someone to pass by.  

As he was walking by her, she approached him “hey you kid come here” she said beckoning towards him. 

Ghost shrugged and came up to the old mare “yes?” he asked unsure of what he was getting into. 

“Take this book with you, it’ll help you” she said pushing the book towards him. 

“Sor—“ before he could answer she disappeared with a teleportation spell. Ghost looked around for her, until reluctantly looking down at the book. It was a spell book that read “Warfare Weapon Spells”. Ghost’s eyes widened it was a forbidden book he heard from Smokey. He looked around once more before opening the book and reading what seemed to be countless amounts of spells. Ghost was happy with the find, he was after all a unicorn and could use magic spells to help further his combat training. 

He stayed at that stop for a whole month practicing all the spells he read from the book. His favorite was a spell where he could fabricate any weapon he thought of with his magic. He loved making intricate and fancy looking bladed weapons with this spell and testing them to the extremes before they shattered into pieces and disappeared. He packed the book onto his back and continued on his journey.
