Chapter 2 [Magic is Infinate, and so is Imagination]

[Third Pony]

The Sun Shined Brightly throughout the forest around the tree house as all the animals came out to eat and play. The sun light shine through the curtains and on the face of our young inventor who was woken from his well deserved rest.

[First Pony]

Celestia had to wake me to more misery. The dreams of failure didnt help either, but i'll get over them soon enough. I lay on the bed for a while with my eyes open so the light would wake me enough to get out of bed. I always hate just waking up and jumping out of bed especialy when there isnt anything waiting for me when i get up.

Speaking of nothing waiting i just remembered about my sorry excuse for an experiment. I got up and took a look around the room to make sure everything was still intact and i didnt destroy anything else, but it was all there. At least thats what i thought before i looked at my bench and saw the rainbow had stained the floor boards. "aw geeze now i have to scrub the floor." I mumbled angrily before geting up on all four hooves and trotting over to the cupboard to get a scrubbing brush.

Opening the door i grabbed a scrubbing brush and began to trot over to the bench when i had broken the liquefied rainbow glass. When i was about half way there i stepped on a small, but sharp object that burried itself into my back right hoof. "Oh CELESTIA!" i yelled a i hopped forward on one hoof holding the slowly bleeding hoof.

As you would expect from a hopping pony, i fell over face first into the wooden floor board. "oh... this is not my day.." I said now that the pain from my hoof was replace with a new pain all over the front part of my body.

With a groan i got up ignoring the pain as much a possible, and i looked over at a pile of shattered unicorn horn. "huh?" i said noticing the horn that i threw and broke the night before. Shattered parts of the long horn were everywhere. I stood there staring at the mess and i notced that at the center were two thin parts of the horn which seem to be connected before and the inner layer was lined with a wood of some sort.

I swear that it only got weirder as i carefully made my way through the broken shards of horn, limping because i my hoof, but i didnt mind. As i approached the centre i noticed an even bigger part of the horn, or atleast what i thought was horn. It looked like wood, mabye the same type of wood that was lining the inside of the horn, i walked up to it and picked it up, it looked weird with two knots in the wood at the thickest end and spiraling down into a point from the second knot.

I hopped up in the air with my three hooves and open my wings to take flight and hover over to a book case i had stashed away in the corner, or what i thought would be the corner seeing this is a circular room.

When i got over to the bookshelf i flew up to the very top shelf to grab a book of myths and legands and as i flew down to a comfy chair i sat down in an awkward fashion. I sat like the legandary human did long ago, or at least what the myths say. I put my hoof up on a smaller chair that i would normaly use to jump up and get some book that werent on the top shelf but too high for me to get on two hooves.

As i got comfy forgetting at the small leak of blood coming out of my hoof, i flipped through the pages of the book to the myths section. When i got the i flipped through a couple of pages and found a page about human magic. The book spoke about humans doing magic, and while they didnt have a horn, they use other magical outlets like magical rings that they made from the horn of a unicorn.

At this i spat out the stick and yelled "HOW DID I MISS THIS!!!! HOW DID ANYPONY MISS THIS!!!!" I quickly read throught the rest of it.

The Princesses have alowd some scientists to try make a bracelet out of a fat horn of an unkown 'DEAD' unicorn, there has been no sucess in getting anypony other than the unicorns to cast magic. There have been many theories as to why this is not so. One was that normal ponies are not ment to cast spells and another was that Celestia Canceled all of the magic in Equestria from flowing through the Earth ponies and Pegasi, but some have gone so far as to accuse the Princesses of sabotage to the devices.

Although some of these theories are ridiculous there is one theory that has never been tested nor thought of. It is that there are special words that the humans use to Unlock the device by giving it a name and calling apon it when they wish to activate the magic. This is Rediculous as an inanimate object cannot hear you and has just been dismissed.

There is no way any of these could be true so they have once again been dismissed as myth.

"well they are truly silly arent they?" i asked myself looking at the stick in my lap.

i picked it up with one hoof and asked it "well what should i name you? Sticky mc' Sticks?" whilst finishing my sentence that stick flew up into the air and the tip of it glowed white.

"Braden will do fine young pony."
