Wisdom gawked at the egg before her. She was always a very cynical cub, something her parents wished they could quench before it got out of hand, and she was very proud of it. She questioned everything, to her nanny's dismay, ever since she could speak and she wasn't about to stop now. "What kind of egg is it?"
The evaluation team glanced at each other, unsure of how to proceed. "Young lady, your knowledge of what kind of species this is won't help you hatch the egg."
Wisdom sighed and climbed on top the egg, glaring down on it with all the ferocity an eight year old Gryphon cub could possibly muster. Her crest ruffled and her wings unfurled, the downy feathers fluffed up. "Alright Egg, I don't like you and you don't posses enough cognitive faculties to formulate an opinion on my existence, so let's get one thing straight, if you don't hatch I'll have no choice but to use the Eyes on you. Got it?"
One of the evaluation personal leaned to the other next to him. "Anyone else wanna just pass her on account of how cute that was?" The mare nodded slowly to keep herself from Squeeing.
The black Gryphon cub started to cast a fire spell to warm the egg. She scrunched up her brow in concentration and the magic traveled down her wings,
Pound Cake zoomed forward at shocking speeds, a trail of brown and cream streaming behind him. He'd long ago left his opponent in the dust so to speak but the adrenaline coursing through his veins propelled him ever forward. He grinned as his innate Pegasus magic started to bubble up and travel through his wings. He reached Mach speeds and caused the magic to explode out of his wings. He laughed and spun in the air.
Dinky sank her hooves into the ground in an attempt to slow herself down but her horn continued to drag her ever forward. "No! Bad horn!" It ceased glowing and Dinky rubbed her neck. "Ow." A loud boom sounded and a shock wave traveled through the forest. The trees trembled and hazelnuts rained down from their branches. "Eep! Why, universe, why?" She lifted one of the fallen nuts and cracked it open, she was hungry. She scooped the fallen nuts and grinned. "These'll be great for the bake sale!" She said popping one in her mouth. "Thanks, universe!"
Pumpkin Cake trotted around the meadow gazing at all the beautiful and exotic creatures. There weren't this many creatures in Manehatten or Cloudsdale. They were so pretty. A loud boom interrupted the peace and the animals panicked, bolting back to their dens and homes. Pumpkin pouted and went around whispering kindly to all the little critters. "It's okay little friends, I'm here. I won't let anything hurt you." Slowly the animals began to climb out of their homes and come closer.
Pumpkin grinned as her horn glowed, gathering up nuts and leaves and hanging them to the animals. A large bear scooped her up and licked her mane. She giggled.
Screwball kicked the pebble absently and sighed. Living on a rock farm was soooo boring! The most fun they ever had was when... well never. Just then a shockwave of chocolate and cream blazed across the farm hitting Screwball full in the face. She licked the air curiously and giggled at the taste. The giggle turned into full blown laughter and her swirly eyes filled with joy. She gasped suddenly and shot up in the air. "I have to share this with everypony!" She zoomed off to gather supplies for her mission.
Apple spice looked up at the sky and gasped at the streak of brown and cream leading towards Sweet Apple Acres. She pulled off the stuffy dress an tore off towards home. "Applejack, Granny! Ah'm comin' home!" The Bat pony cried, opening her wings and taking flight.
The shockwave of Chocolate flavored magic struck Wisdom and caused her magic to surge. Fire exploded out of her wings and the Egg beneath her shattered, revealing the tiny draconequus colt. The ground exploded and trees shot out of the ground. A swirling vortex surrounded Wisdom and the draconequus as animals stampeded through the city towards the oasis of trees and plant life. The evaluators tried to escape but were caught in the uncontrolled surge. One was turned into a hibiscus plant while another was changed into a baby dragon and the last became an old mare.
The draconequus giggled and clapped his paw and claw together. Wisdom was panicking and trying to reign the surge in. Despite the amount of magic in the air she felt fine, like all she was doing was lighting a candle. A dark blue form wrapped its wings around her, restraining her magic. Wisdom looked up into the kind eyes of the goddess of night and day, Luna.
Her surge faded and she gawked at the Princess before her. This was a once in a life time opportunity and what she said now was vital to her entire existence. "Sorry I blew up the school."
"Bah!"
"But I passed the test!" She pointed out.
The goddess smiled and lifted the Draconequus onto her back. "That you did. And it seems as though you earned your Soul mark."
Wisdom's eyes shot open. "Really!?!" She attempted to crane her neck to see the new mark on her chest. There were hoof steps as Luna's sister landed before her.
"Sister, is this the fool who caused this mess?" The older goddess was far less forgiving than her sister. Wisdom shrank away in fear. "I've never seen a student cause this much chaos since... Ever."
Luna rolled her eyes at her sister. "What is your name, little one?"
"Keen Wisdom, but everyone calls me Wisdom."
Luna turned to her sister, grinning mischievously. "Terra, don't you think it's time you took on a student?"
Before Terra could react she was tackle/hugged by the gryphon cub. "Really!?!" Her eyes sparkled and her beak turned up in a grin.
Terra sighed. "Fine."
"Yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes!" Wisdom bounced around from joy and flapped her wings. Terra glared at her sister and Luna giggled at the whole situation.
"I'm sure you'll get along swimmingly."
