//------------------------------// // Unicorn Magic - Part 1 // Story: Teacher Twilight // by livi423 //------------------------------// Twilight rolled her eyes. "And now, the most obvious. Unicorn magic." The Doctor shuffled in his seat. "i mean, as an earth pony,I can feel time running through my hooves. Unicorns, this will be good." All adult unicorns had been removed from the room. Besides for Tick Tock. And human turned pony Rarity. And also human turned pony Twilight. "Now Ditzy,I comprehend the pain of my concealing device. " Tick Tock struggled to say without wincing. Derpy rolled her eyes. "I hate you..." Tick Tock replied, "If you hate me,why did you want me to travel with you and the Doctor?" Derpy sighed, holding her head with her hoof. " It's an expression,Tick Tock." "I wasn't born in your time, Derpy. I'm pretty sure that If i was born in this time, 500 years after my time, i would understand metaphors. Twilight glanced around the room, making sure everypony was paying attention. She swallowed. Taking a deep breath, Twilight said "Unicorn magic is based on two basic things- a series of bones in the horn and the emotion, slash mental state the unicorn or alicorn when using magic. Uhm,ah, do you know how when you tightly shut your eyes? And your temples move? By the sides of your head?" The class had a jumbled mix of nods,yesses,uh-huhs,yups,and yeahs. "Well,unicorn magic works in sort of around the same way. Unicorns have a special bone in their body that they can bend and move that helps with magic use. Emotion comes in a little bit later." The Doctor rapidly took notes. Sweetie Belle understood. She struggled,but got her magic flowing. Dinky the same. They levitated their pencils to write and take notes. Twilight brought in a little friend of hers. In came Rarity,and a black board connected to a little wire with a end that could absorb magic. Rarity walked behind the mysterious board. A distinguishable female unicorn was shown on the board. Said board had a little screen on its side. It showed Rarity's head. It showed all the bones in her head,and a bone in her horn. Rarity used magic behind the board and made a pencil fly around the room. The bone in her horn moved a little,rocked back and forth. It stopped moving,but the magic kept going. Multiple pencils were taken by the magic and wrote down notes from the lesson. "Hey!" Cried a few fillies and colts. Human-turned-pony Rarity was paying attention to every second. Rarity walked off,bringing the mysterious board with her. She gave it to Discord who took it up the stairs. Dr.Whooves was also fascinated. So this is how magic works. Derpy was asleep,and Tick Tock was taking notes,despite the fact that he worked unicorn magic perfectly. "Finally! In a school,with teachers...wow. And I thought I would battle monsters my entire life! Twilight piped up. "For the second half of this lesson,we need some history." History? nopony liked the sound of where this was going. "This stallion changed the face of magic forever," Starswirl. That had to be it. The humans payed attention, most of the townsfolk not giving a flying feather. "He brought back magic from millennia before his time," Pinkie wondered for a moment. For all that Twi had taught her about Starswirl, she didn't recall anything about magic from another time. From before Celestia and Luna, I've used this type of magic before. I didn't like it. Who knows what Stallion i am speaking of?" "Derpy." The Doctor shook Derpy awake." "snar.nark...shwub..aba...wah.huh?" asked,confused. "We need to get to the TARDIS. Now.C'mon Tick Tock." Tick Tock looked extremely relieved to be able to take off the device covering his horn. "Doc? Where are we going?" Grimly, the Doctor looked at his companions. They could be hurt, or mentally strained. "The Reign of Sombra."
