Hearing a scream I wake up, little to my knowledge I have come to find that I over react to being spooked as a wakeup call, I open my eyes flailing around to the scream and fall off the bed. "Good morning floor. So we meet again," I think to myself. Getting up and brushing myself I see Twilight on the bed I was in. "Why were you screaming," I ask her. Twilight's face has grown rather red, as I recall from the book I adapted to it's a normal sign that she is either mad, embarrassed, or can't breathe. So I approach her and feel around her face and neck to make sure she can breathe, but am immediately shoved only to fall to the floor once more. "Oh floor. I know you'll always be there to catch me," I think to myself. I think I have been developing a better sense of humor ever since I adapted to those comics. Getting up once more, I see the face of a very red princess. I suppose Twilight fell asleep in my bed, from the look of her face it's more likely she is embarrassed. She however had walked out of room, after apologizing to me anyway. Almost instantaneously as Twilight leaves a serpent like creature slithers into the room... Discord.
"Why hello Tumult. I'll be honest, I never quite would have thought that I'd run into one of you here," Discord sang with a smile. He seems to know what I am. But why didn't he say anything before? I ask him myself, and he responds," I know not of who you are, I merely know what you are. You are just like me. An embodiment of chaos. The only difference between you and I are our bodies, I was born like this, but you... You were created. You were created from chaos, and you yourself are chaos. I can only imagine the reason why you have horns and wings is merely because you chose to have those traits." I grew confused, why would I want to be an Alicorn? "It was reported that you turned into some sort of dragon that was merely because you wanted to become a dragon because that was your only idea of defeating a Timber Wolf. A little dramatic for my tastes if you ask me. The only reason why you can transform like so, because you are chaos just like me. Chaos is wild, unpredictable, and most of all impossible to truly understand. Others may become jealous or angry that you became an Alicorn, but you could easily change that couldn't you? You know normally a unicorn wouldn't be able to teleport simply from reading a book about basic magic. But because of the chaos inside of you, you somehow seem capable of pulling off magnificent feats. I look forward to hearing more."
I become a sponge soaking in his words as he speaks. Could what he is saying possibly be true? Do I know full well what I am doing? I turn to ask Discord questions, but he is out of sight, his words audible but his body invisible," I can't wait to see what kind of chaos you bring to this world! Oh what fun," he had sang in joy.
I look out the balcony from the room I am given, and nothing but the town is visible. Suddenly from behind myself I hear another mare enter the room, Princess Cadance. "Hello. I just came to check up on you. How are you feeling?" I stare at the pink mare, remembering what she had done to me, I spread my wings and stand off the balcony ready to jump, my scarf flapping in the wind, I cover my mouth and ask her what she needs. "No need to be threatened! I'm not going to cast a spell on you or anything. Promise," Cadance states. I lower myself from the balcony, but stay beside it in case I need a getaway. "I don't know what happened entirely yesterday, but I felt a small part of your pain. You had-" interrupting Cadance I hold my hoof up, asking her not to talk about the situation any further. In an attempt to change the subject she asks me," Are you excited about being a prince?" I state to her that Princess Celestia clearly stated I'm faking being a prince, but Cadance explains," Maybe so, but in exchange of doing this you are going to have to perform a lot of royal duties. You'll have to learn proper etiquette, public affairs, and a whole lot more." Cadance, hearing about my power earlier when Twilight explained gave me a book about royalty etiquette, "Twilight and I used this when we first became princesses. Now I think it could help you," Cadance explains. Staring at the book I feel bad that such a book would disappear, but she prepared this book knowing that it would happen. Touching the book it suddenly disappears, and the same voice as always tells me about the paths that have become available.
This sounds like a bigger pain than it's worth. I look at my back and wiggle my wings, then look up at my horn. If only I knew how to hide one of these away, or maybe even both. As Cadance and I began talking the sounds of trumpets went off, and that was my Que to go and confront the public, for the announcement. Hours pass as I have to listen to Celestia's speech about me becoming a prince, I know she is doing this to help me, but I was so bored I began reading the books that I adapted to, inside my head. Flipping through the dictionary, I got through to the L's by the time Celestia finished talking. Suddenly I am introduced, the crowd does not cheer, and they only stare at me in murmurs. Suddenly I hear a noise go off and confetti fills the air, seeing Twilight, Spike, Pinkie Pie, and the others clapping for me, the rest of the crowd slowly claps, then the pace picks up, until eventually ponies began to cheer. I feel that I don't deserve this cheer, but regardless I wave, as Cadance gestured me to do. I don't know how, but I'll be sure to make sure that I serve ponies, since "A royals duty is to their subjects."
That night I had three more books I could adapt to, so I was led to the castle library. Feeling that as a fake Prince, I should at least learn more to help others, I adapted to a book stating all laws. After that I grabbed a book of mid-class magic, and high class magic. Adapting to all these books I feel my mind being expanded, as though knowledge itself had been implanted into my head, yet that is pretty much what I was doing. Looking through the library I try to decide what to grab for later, but I wasn't sure what to grab. Though I was told to ride the train, I flew to ponyville that night, I followed the tracks. For some reason flying came to me really easily, maybe it was because Rainbow Dash's book was just written that well... Though I can't imagine Rainbow Dash being very intelligible, even if it's in writing a book that involves her life so much. But I guess maybe it was just easy because I was flying, and not doing any of the tricks she had written in the book, frankly I was too scared to try them, I never flew higher than 4 feet off the ground. After all, heights are pretty scary.
It was only until I got to ponyville it was late at night, I had then realized something... I have no home to go to, where am I supposed to go? Curling up with my scarf, I find a nearby tree and lay under it, though I have a scarf and fur the blowing winds were still cold. Should I go to one of the ponies I know? No it's too late at night, it'll probably bother them. Shaking I wrap my scarf around my neck more, covering as much as it can. The cold eventually went away, I was actually so cold that I became rather hot, becoming tired from the temperature I was feeling I fell asleep.
"You'll catch a cold," a familiar voice tells me. It's the voice of a female. I yell at her, and she disappears. As I wake up I see yet again the Cutie Mark Crusaders.
"Malty? What are you doing here?" They ask almost simultaneously. Standing up from where I laid, I slowly begin to walk, something is wrong, my balance feels off. Suddenly my mind begins to race and the book of hippology opens up inside my mind. The pages telling me that I have accumulated a sickness, and I came to a realization. These books only come to my mind, when I make them, or if something related to what is happening to me comes around. So because last night I wasn't already sick this hippology book didn't warn me that I could have gotten sick. I suppose everything has its flaws. Suddenly as I walk the girls' voices begin to echo, my eyes close, and I hear the sound of something heavy hitting the ground...
And yet again. I have another dream.
