Silvertongue was droning about how Gryphons could channel magic through their wings. I really didn't care and I just wanted to get to the part where I learned how to keep myself from teleporting everytime I hear a loud noise. I yawned. It was going to be a long day. My head drooped closer to the ground.
I heard cymbals clash and yelped. My feather poofed and my tail goes straight. I hear two ponies laughing, or rather one pony and one draconequus. I shake myself and my feathers settle. I take deep breaths to cool the anger growing inside. Control I smile. I can prank them later.
Silvertongue gives them a disapproving scowl. "Perhaps we should move on to control."
Finally! I think. Twilight is scribbling notes rapidly on the scroll in front of her. "Wisdom, what do you remember about your lessons in the manipulations of the Arcane element of fire?"
My mouth drops open and the words spill out. "Fire is one of the hardest elements to control, second hardest to Chaos magic. If one does not control their emotions while using said magic they can cause untold destruction and throw their minds out of balance, While fire destroys it also creates, burning away the rotten and corrupted and leaving the untainted and innocent." Everyone's jaws dropped, even twilight stopped taking notes to watch. "Without fire there is no warmth, fire lives in all creatures just like magic. some creatures like dragons and phoenixes are born with the ability to use fire while creatures like Gryphons and ponies can learn to manipulate it through intense study and concentration." I concluded.
Silvertongue smiled. "Word for word."
I tried to keep my eyes on him during the rest of the lecture. But then I noticed a very annoying fly buzzing around my face. I growled and tried to bat it away. I snorted out smoke and it buzzed away. I smile. Neat
An unlit torch falls down in front of me. "Light it."
I lift it in my claw and stare at it. How did it go again? "Fai luce delle tenebre e bruciare le ombre." The Torch burst into flame. I yelp and drop it and the flame extinguishes. When I pick it up again the flame returns. "Well that's practical."
"Yes, yes, that's all lovely. What I want to know is what you know about Chaos magic?" Discord appeared in front of me wth a challenging look in his eyes.
I cringe when a wave of information assaults me. "I'd rather not say." I cringe again. "I know you caused the end of the Draconequus empire with it." I blurt. I squeak and teleport back to the library. I become assaulted by information.
"What can you tell me about the Dangers of Chaos magic?"
I bounce in a circle around Silvertongue. "Chaos magic makes you go loco in the cocoa. And then the elements of harmony turn you to stone and you become trapped for eternity!" I throw up my claws. I loose my balance and fall down on my butt. Silvertongue chuckled. I scramble to my feet. "Why did Discord go crazy?"
"That is a long and dark tale that isn't for children." He places a wing over me. "Chaos is not a magic for creatures like us to know." We walk down the hall to a pair of tall doors. "Remember not to get too angry with your limitations."
I lift my head proudly. "I don't have limitations! I mastered Healing magic with no help at all!"
He smiles proudly at me. "You still have a long way to go first." A rumble shakes the ground beneath my feet, He places a claw over me. "Calm yourself!"
"I-i-i c-c-can't!" the Magic blasts through me and I'm blinded by fire and magic.
There was a light knock on the door to my room. "Wisdom?" A book slams into the door. "Oh, I'll just stay out here then." I listen to see if she leaves when she doesn't I sigh. The door swings open.
"Come in."
She steps in shyly. "Discord Came home and locked himself in the Guest room."
"I may have brought up some of his past." I pull the pillow over my head. "The part best left forgotten in his twisted mind."
Fluttershy places a hoof on my shoulder. "Whatever he did I'm sure he feels really bad about it."
"Maybe."
"So, umm... what did he do?" I look out from under the pillow. "Just curious." She blushed.
"I don't know the whole story. You should ask him."
