.
I sat in the chair, enjoying myself. I knew I could go back here every day, and any day I so please. Now I just enjoyed the moment.
Lifting a hoof up, examining it, I was enjoying to just look at it. The smooth shiny surface, looking as if it had been made out of a hard plastic, or rubber, which I knew couldn't be the case, or, could it. I place my hands on the smooth surface, slowly, gently stroking it, only to experience just how smooth it felt under my fingers, just to realize how sensitive it is for such a hard looking surface. While stroking it, it felt almost as if it had been wet, but when I was trying to kick the table, I noticed it was quite sturdy, and didn't feel a thing.
Thankfully the table did not take any hint of my action, I would have hated to see such a precious table being destroyed, just because I'm curious and try to examine myself.
Moving my attention back from the table and to my right hoof, only now the soul, rather than the horny surface up front. It feels soft and elastic to the touch, even when the colour, the hue and highlights are all the same. Whatever made it so hard and durable on the front, and so soft and elastic underneath. I guess there is a point to the magic I had invoked upon myself. I just don't know what it is, or how it works, but I still do enjoy it all the same.
I had sat down and enjoyed the chair for several minutes, as I examined my hooves. I guess it had been just a bit more enjoyable than I had initially expected, but I started out doing it, because I'm curious. I guess it did explain a few things, but didn't make me any less confused about any of it in the first place. Not so much because I really was confused in the first place.
As I finished examining my hooves, I rose to stand up, then slowly started to walk around the room. Looking around, poking at anything and everything that I could put a hand on. Curiosity getting the better of me, and for now, there is nothing I could do about it. Besides, why bother.
From what I could tell, these chairs are feeling as if they had been made out of the finest leather, but who am I to say. Yet, it feels right, considering what I had seen in the room.
Since I had seen her tail, then my own, there was little to no point spending more of my precious time exploring my tail at this time, it could wait. I had seen both hers and my hooves, just as I had explored mine, as well as I had any need for at this point, no point in more of the same. I do however have an entire room to explore. A room in which I am currently sitting, aside from the rest of the books, laying just outside the door, waiting.
I rose to my hooves, slowly walking along the room, only to stop, right where I had been sitting. The chair and table was curious, even if it isn't the most important things in the room to examine.
Then it hit me, I had seen all there is to see in the room, short of the contents of the book, from which I had been reading.
As grand as the furniture looks, I have seen all there is to see. I have sat in a chair, why spend more time, doing that once more and all over. There was nothing more to learn from it, for all I could see. I can look at the wood, but since I have no experience and no frame of reference, it wouldn't tell me anything. Nothing worth the effort. With that, I started up, walking to the pulpet, once more.
I open the cover of the book, looking at the inside. Seeing the paper, the colours, the indents giving shadows and shadings. Reading the text, even if it told me next to nothing. Only now I knew why. It is all in Equestrian, ancient Equestrian at that. No wonder I could barely make out anything. I kept reading the text, more out of curiosity, tasting the words. Maybe it did give me something later. If I sample enough, maybe I would learn and understand. I did it more for the fun than any actual hope to learn enough from the few hours I had remaining to me here today.
I flipped the page, looking at the image with the Pony and Human on it. I did not read the text once more. Imagining there was nothing more to learn from it. I had already read it once, why read it again? What I need is a dictionary, if I truly desire to know what it tried to say.
I read the other text. Nothing happened. It apparently told me something. What ever text isn't associated with an image is mere inanimate information. Only the images does hold spells. What ever they had to offer.
From the assumption, I refused to read or pronounce the text under any image. I can still safely read the text in the book, aside from what was associated to an image. Just as I can safely look at any one image, without any consequence. No change will occur, no spell will be released, unless I read the text under the images. That would be self-contained spells. It is at least what I assumed, I did not test the theory.
The first spell had changed me and my sister into this form, a half by half equine, while still keeping the other half of who we are.
I scrutinized the second image, finally realizing who was in the image. That is Luna and her other form as Nightmare Night, though there is a third form of her in a more resent time, where she was hailing from. The spell invoked her form and person in the flesh, from what I could figure. My sister Riku had invoked the Princess. Maybe I should tell her, if Luna had not already explained it? I left it at that, for now.
I just flipped a page, only to find more text to read. It told me nothing. There is also an image to see. The image gave me an idea as to what the third spell would be, but I refuse to read it. I don't want to test my theory at this point.
I closed the book, quietly, before I walked away from the pulpet, leaving it behind and turning my back on it. There is something I had to tell my sister, but I couldn't let on at this time. I have no right to allow others to know. It isn't anything I had been told or something I had read. I just had the feeling. With that, I left it at that.

I could help.
4898954 I sure could use the help.
I want to make the story the best I can.
Both for the story and the readers.
4898964 just put me in coach I'll give me what they want.
What would happen if I were to read from the
plot devicebook: Absolutely nothing. Why? Because fuck you. That's why.It is a 'Spell-Book', which is Canon in MLP, if you recall Spike handing one over to Rarity, leading to her messing up Ponyville fairly thuroughly, if you don't recall, check the episode.
The book, as refered to is conon in most all Magic based stories, like Charmed and Harry Potter for further refferences.
In a schience based story, you would find a Physics book/Chemistry book.
In a religious base story, it would be a book of prayers, just as comparison.
Since we don't live in a magic base world, the book may be quite useless, since we're lacking the magic the spells require in order to work.
Not that I did state that it was a Magic book, as in BoS(Book of Shadows/Spells) earlier in the story.
although there are plenty of details not yet revealed in the story, for more or less obvious reasons.
4898975 I guess you can have a seat and enjoy the comfort, aside from that, you need to find the pae with the image of what you need.
After that, maybe you could serve yourself what you liked?
If you could pronounce Equestrian well enough, not to mess it all up?
4899333 I'm confused. What exactly did you need help with. Whatever it is I will help
4899407 the first and easiet thing would be to just point out what ever you find that is less then perfect and send it in a PM?
If it makes sense to me, it would filter into the story and possible other stories along the way.
my Word-Editor isn't exactly perfect, it misses a few things and fail to explain what I need to see what was wrong.
I like to put my effort into makeing a good story, to the point I can't be nit-picking too deeply since it take too much time and effort, compared with the visible result.
There is always the occasions where I misread events and thus characterise the characters wrong, if it ever do happen?
Cute little story, can't wait for more.
Question: The First chapter said you were 9, is that true?
Also, were did the cover-art come from?
4903678 Thanks.
It said that the Character is, which is separate from me.
I think I would count myself among the older mares of the site.
I can't recall where this particular image came from, on top of my head.
It is to a great extent, what the story was initially based upon.
Thankfully, I have started on the next chapter.
I just hope it is ready in time for the next window of publishing, which would be between 7 to 14 days from the previous chapter was published.
3892821 I edited the story just before publishing the latest chapter, I hope I managed to improve on the story in general
4899086 In your case, you would merely cease to exist, thanks for asking so nicely.
I would suggest you edit your vocabulary and enhance your general behaviour instead.
Maybe even read up on canon, since you apparently didn't know the word is "Book of Spells".
4904058 *Clears throat* Take a hint, you wise ass. I was saying nothing would happen because I'm smart enough not to read aloud from random books I find in abandoned libraries. It's like rule number three of fantasy: Don't read aloud from books, bad shit will occur unless done by a trained professional. But, since you also don't get the whole "Because fuck you. That's why." Thing, I guess you've never had a situation where the only way to describe the reason behind the action is sheer unadulterated spite. Like punching through a steel wall because you were told it's impossible. Also: I am wholly against humans being transformed into other, non-human species. Learn to better utilise the description box. Plus in case it isn't obvious yet: I haven't even read the fic, the description was that bad. And as for my behaviour not even reality bending mind altering magic will get me to change it. Why? Because fuck you, I do what I want. And don't delete this comment, it'll just prove you're petty.
4904069 You did not need to read the story to know it is about a little girl?
Have you ever been bored out of your skull, if so, maybe you would have a better understanding?
Since we are siting these rules, one of the first rules in story telling is 'Convenience', this one girl was reading the text, or there had been no story.
By the way, stay with the level the story was marked for.
ou did read as far as that, right?
the story is marked "Everyone".
I rather delete a message than change the marking of the story.
At least we got that clear. Now I have an idea why you hate the guts of the story. Even if there is nothing stated that she had changed into a new species.
Speaking of Asses, which sounds like you.
I'm no Ass, I'm a Pony, just to clear that part up for you.
Actually, I fear it would be as easy as a serious blow to your head. I just can't say if you need to survive it, mind you. That part is purely your problem, for all I care.
Your final statement doesn't change Jack, if a mod tells me to remove it, I will, for the comfort of the site.
Since you enjoy colourful expressions, how about I 'Screw you', Jason style, if you follow the drift?
4904117 Don't let him getcha down, he is obviously just in a bad mood and is talking it out on inoffensive stories. He hasn't even read it so his opinion doesn't mean jack.
I for one, Someone who has read it, think its adorable.
The thing that threw me off about your age by the way was the authors note:
So I thought you were talking about yourself.
One thing I may critique is the chapter transitions, some of them are a bit confusing.
I am also curious to what aliment has landed her in hospital, and how the doctors have not noticed her "condition" yet.
I am also intrigued of how casually the girls are talking the transformation, but then again, I guess that they are still young enough to not to many preconceptions of the world, so they are more willing to take things at face value, rather to lapse into panic and denial as an adult might.
I've Kinda fallen in love with the concept of this story, it is very rare to have someone brave enough to have the protagonist as a little girl (a little girl who is not an established cannon character at least) and you've captured it rather well.
I might be inspired to write a similar story, that is a story of a little girl undergoing a transformation, it seems like fun (If I do write it I will definitely credit you for the idea).
4904222 Thanks, we need this kind of reminders from time to time.
Jack, that's 'him'.
Thanks, I needed to hear it.
Since you mentioned the note being confusing/distracting, that note was now removed.
I like the note as clear as possible.
I guess I could try to make the transitions less confusing? It is the only time I change the POVs.
The main character is 9 years of age, and bored out of her skull.
To a point, it is the convenience that these 2 characters doesn't panic.
I already had a few. The first on site is Silly Filly, while the first ever is Eponey. She is now on site as well.
There are 3 groups of totally 7 girls as canon in FiM to choose from here, aside from all the other canon foals.
Life is change, even if this is more obvious then it is commonly in life.
If you are inspired I would feel honoured.
I commonly do write about undreraged and girls at that.
4904117 Anti-psychotics, do the exact opposite to me. And I was on them as a trial run to see if that particular type would work. They didn't. also TL;DR.
4908174 I guess you are just wired in reverse then?
Just don't expect it to be true for every other you encounter?
Only problem, this is neither the time, nor the place to discuss it.
4899327 Inspiration Manifestation is the name of the episode. Spike finds the spell book in the castle of the Royal Pony sisters (the old castle where Twilight Sparkle and her friends discover the Elements of Harmony and use them to vanquish Nightmare Moon, freeing Princess Luna from the Nightmares control.
3901212 In Power Ponies, Spike gets an enchanted comic book and he and the Mane 6 get sent to Maretropolis, the scene of the heroes and villains. The main villian, the Mane-iac, used to work at a shampoo factory before she fell into a vat of chemicals that transformed her into the manically evil villain. She has several hench-ponies who do her bidding. The Mane 6 and spike have to adopt new heroic personas to thwart the Mane-iac and return back the the Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters.
5652563 Oh and what a mess that created, while hilarity ensued?
At least, he finally stepped up and solved it, by confronting her.
5652569 Oh, but for even more silly adventures, but it opens up vistas for writers like myself.
It isn't just a Hero(in) in a story, even when the Pony actually is who she was portreied as.
I guess the Ponies enjoy these Hero Adventures just as much as Humans does?
