"I think we have bigger problems than I expected."
"What do you mean?"
"Another alphabet, different calendar system, what else?"
"I don't know how to use magic or my hooves properly."
"How you don't know how to even trot?"
"Maybe because I wasn't quadrupedal creature like you?"
"So, what about some training when you'll be signed out from hospital?"
"I don't know... But it's not my type."
Another knock came from the door.
"Come in!"
A white earth pony appeared in front of doors. Her cutie mark is red cross with pink hearts around it.
"Hello, Mr..."
"Mr. Chipset."
"Yes... My name is Nurse Redheart. From data what we gathered your power from your horn is much greater than most unicorns."
"So, what does it mean?"
"You can cast most spells with ease. Even if you target multiple objects."
I felt excited when I heard about my power, but also confused about their actions.
"Wait, did you test me while I was unconscious and against my will?!"
"But it was for your good. You casted random spells while you were here. Hey, what's this?"
She pointed at me where random numbers were floating around my horn. I looked at those numbers.
"Sorry, I didn't pay attention. Please, continue."
I disabled the spell which I haven't even noticed earlier.
"Because your kind of magic somehow cannot be countered, we'll need somepony to help controlling your magic."
"Magic seals don't work on me?"
"I'm afraid not."
"I think I can take care of him. Also, I'll teach him our language."
"That's very kind of you. By the ways, Mayor, can we leave some places blank?"
"Of course, you can fill those papers later. But they can help you when finding a work or something."
"Miss Sparkle, could you sign this document for him?"
"Why not me?-" I asked. "-If doesn't contain other data to fill..."
"It does."
"Oh, nevermind."
"See you soon in my castle!"
Twilight signed document the Nurse held in her mouth and left with other girls and left me alone.
Few minutes later I was taken on a wheelchair where I passed long white hallway and sent me to yard before doctors told me to get off from it. I said goodbye to them and waved. Later I went to walk through town passing by various houses and shops which were colorful. Much more than in my neighborhood. The most interesting building I passed was a round fancy decorated two-story house. I bet Rarity is here. I could visit her, but I had to visit Twilight first. Maybe later. Some time later I went to Twilight's castle which I saw from second side of town.
After some hesitation I knocked at massive door which is made of solid shiny metal. I bet it's made of gold or brass. After some time I saw Twilight opening that door.
"Oh, hello Chipset. How are you?"
"Hi, I'm fine but a bit hungry, actually."
"You came just in time. Come in. Feel yourself like in home."
I was suprised to see her crystal castle on my eyes. It's so wonderful. And expensive. A massive round hall was mostly made from huge amethysts. There were also rubies, emeralds, sapphires and few gemstones I can't recognize. There were also tall windows with stained glass. Each color of windows was different. I saw: Applejack talking about her Honesty Element, Pinkie Pie inflating her Laughter Element, Rarity giving her Generosity Element aside with other gemstones, Fluttershy taking care of her Kindness Element, Rainbow Dash holding her Loyalty Element on her neck and Twilight with her Magic Element floating above her head.
I wonder how much it could be worth. Maybe billions, if not trillions of dollars. When I started thinking about it, in front of my horn tons of letters and numbers flew around hall. Being focused on counting and similar stuff I didn't react to outside. Again.
"Chipset? Earth to Chipset, are you here?" I shook my head.
"Yeah, yeah. Is something happening?"
"Follow me."
After few minutes (I think) of walking around castle through long corridors made of crystals and passing by few rooms, we went to small dining room which was a bit bigger than living room in my apartment. There was a wooden round table and six chairs around it which three of them were prepared to eat. Even meal was already served.
I noticed violet dragon with green scales along his head, body and tail whose was about half of Twilight's size.
"Oh, hello Spike."
"Uh, hi. Who are you?"
"My name's Cutting Chipset. Call me Chip or Chipset if you want to. I thought Twilight said about me while I was outside."
"The thing is..." Twilight gave a side glance of disappointment to him. "...I forgot."
"I see. Let's get to eat 'cause I think I'm starving."
On the table was a large bowl of salad, some grilled vegetables and cookies. On each prepared seat was a plate and cutlery on each side. There were also glasses already filled with sparkling apple juice. But I doubt that there is apple juice.
During lunch which was about forty minutes long we were asking questions about each other. Mostly I was asked about my land, politics and few stuff which I can't remember or wasn't important to me. Then they asked me about one important thing.
"When we first met while you was in hospital you said something in strange language. Remember?" I thought about it for a while.
"Aaaaah, right. It was in my native language."
"Errr, why is it strange like you said, Twi?"
"You'll see. Chipset, can you tell us about your past in short in your language?"
I sighed. "Fine."
{"While I was twenty-four, my parents died during car crash because some idiot drove with very high speed right at them, three days before my graduating. I worked as engineer with highly-paid salary and had great apartment until someone from you made a portal and I'm stuck in goddamn Equestria in body which I am!"} "I- I wish I could safely go back home." I began to sob while Twilight looked at me with compassion and later hugged me.
"I think it's not time for crying for your past." After these words this tune appeared in my mind.
"You're right. It's not time. My destiny does not stand here. My destiny is to help others in easier life through technology!"
"But how do you want to help us if you don't know how magic here works?"
"In our world there is no such thing like magic. We used technology to live fair enough to survive through centuries." I said with a grin. "But magic might be useful."
After lunch I went with Twilight to her library. This was also huge, but not that as much as hall. Of course, there are shelves and piles of books with labels here.
Wait, is there a statue of somepony made of books? I've taken a closer look. Nope, it's not a statue or something. Just pile of unsorted books which Twilight might used.
"Chip, what are you doing there?"
"I thought there is a statue made of books."
"Okay then, first lesson of all unicorns. The levi-"
"Yeah, yeah, I get it. I need to imagine I'm moving the item and channel it."
"How did you know that?"
"'Cause I used magic during lunch maybe?"
"I haven't seen this."
"Me neither." I took one of the books which were floating towards Twilight. "Huh, materialization spell. Sounds interesting."
Materialization spell
Creates an item of your choice. No known side effects yet.
"Yes, it sounds interesting. Wait, what?"
I lighted my horn. I thought about something simple, just for a watch.
"Chipset, get away from this book! This book contains dangerous spells to you!"
It was too late.
I felt pain in my forehead but still no light from my horn. I tried to focus on watch I wanted so much. The strength of pain was increasing with each second passed. When I felt I could faint anytime, then suddenly part of pain has gone, something blinked on my right forehoof and... I've got my watch I wanted to. But I couldn't stand on my hooves because of my significant power shortage. I fell on the floor.
{"Mother, I made cookies for you. I modified your recipe a bit but I hope you still like it! Yes, there are nuts inside!"} I babbled these and some other random sentences while Twilight was looking at me with her jaw dropped.
About minute later I stood up and shook my head while Twilight was still staring at me with disbelief.
"Uh, what happened?"
"Thank Celestia, you're all right?"
"I think so." She looked at me with a bit of anger.
" Is it normal to feel pain while casting a spell?"
"Chipset, what have you done? you don't know what it could happen! You need to take this seriously!
"Just wanted to have a watch. But I also noticed something suspicious."
"What is it?"
"Still no light from my horn."
"I noticed that. I'll check what I can do."
"I doubt that you can help it. I need to see by myself. But, how?"
My heavy thoughts resulted appearing a large hologram screen from my horn in front of me. Tons of lines of code blinked and scrolled in front of us. I could barely notice something but few sentences which moved slowly at start:
> reading file bd.pn ... Done
> reading file uncr.pn ... Done
> reading file spls.pn ... Done
> accessing network data for user ID 432783248 ... Not found, creating new file..
> creating file cutting_chipset-432783248.pndt in network\usr\ ... Done
(The rest of text was unreadable due to fast movement)
"What the hay is it?"
"I don't know. I haven't seen this one..."
