This story is a sequel to Child Of Misery
Apple Bloom's summer wasn't going as she had hoped. With both her friends busy with their own pursuits she finds herself without anything to do. So when she's given an offer; something that would allow her to join her friends in their pursuits, she takes it. Now gifted with extraordinary power, she must learn to control it and try not to lose herself in the process.
Reading Child of Misery is not required; but this story contains spoilers for that one so if you do want to read it, definitely read that one first.
Chapters (19)
love it
Daaaaaw
Hmmm, not a bad start so far. I'm tracking for now.
Darling! You need a new, fabulous dress for your first date!
I actually know for a long time that she is into mare.
This means party!
This is great
Looking good. Though I wonder how Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon would react to now magic-casting Applybloom?
So... basically you do need to read Child of Misery to understand this one?

Nah, it's like the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. You don't have to read The Hobbit to read Lord of the Rings, but some of what happened in The Hobbit is mentioned in Lord of the Rings. In this case, a few things are mentioned about what happened in Child of Misery, but they don't have much impact on this story and pretty much all you need to know is in this story.
This is so sweet
I can do shipping better than Cadance.
Wait so then does that means that the speed of magic is as fast as the speed of sound?
Just imagine anytime someone fires a gun there, a small rainboom happens
Adding a rainbow to the muzzle flash.

I'm waiting to post the next chapter until I have the one after it done; so it won't be a long delay between them. When I do release it; I think everyone will understand why...
Is that a crocodile? The CMCs are in serious trouble now.
I rather hope that spell was a "save Point" spell...
I have a feeling that Applebloom might ask Rekaj to train her seriously from now on, so that she doesn't have to cast that last resort spell again.
So... This has nothing to do with ACTUAL Blue Magic or Blue Mages? You just picked BLUE for no real reason?

Twilight still need to learn how to act like a Princess some time.

It's the magic of the blue dragon flight. Each flight in Yuvari has a different type of magic; Blue, Green, Gold, Red, Black, and White. Their mages are typically identified by the color of the flight though a few have other names as well; red mages are called life mages, white mages are called shaman... It's a fantasy world I've been developing for years with its own system for magic.
Final Fantasy is hardly an authority on what is "actual" magic. If you look at D&D, Blue mages are completely different, focusing on counter-spells and disabling their opponents' magic. Don't expect every fantasy world to be the same.

My point still stands. She's not a Blue Mage, She just uses Blue Magic. You might want to point out that it's a DnD thing in the Description, or you're liable to piss off some people.

Not likely, this story has been in publication for 8 months and you're the first to even mention it. Most people understand that every fantasy world has it's own definition for magic and the same term can be different from world to world. My blue mages aren't the same as D&D either. I was just pointing out that D&D and final fantasy were different.

I can guarantee that even if I'm the only one to MENTION it, it's just because the others clicked off instead of leaving a comment. Again, you need to realize that taking a term like Blue Mage, and writing a story using the term in a way that literally nobody expects, and expecting them not to be at least slightly pissed is fucking insanity.
For example, I went in thinking, " Oh boy, I can't wait for Fire Breathing Apple Bloom!" And that can't be further from the reality of it, as far as I can tell. Again, I'm not asking, so much as telling you, you REALLY should mention from the get go that it's something YOU created. Because if you don't, and someone else gets irritated, then the only one to blame is yourself for not putting something like "Based on an original works" in the summary.
I think That Granny Smith still would have her beat.
Also, Pund Cake. Zipporwhill.
I dunno...

"Did I mention that he also made a pinkie promise?"
He did pinkie promise.
Twilight! Could you teach me that spell? Imagine how convenient it would be to try out your idea on the spot!
This story is amazing! Thank you for writing it! Glad to hear you are on the mend from your accident.
Keep being awesome! (Please... Pretty please...)
Loved the character development for the CMC in the recent chapter. Certainly was fun to see them challenge themselves and have fun at the same time.
Hope to see more of that going forward!
Congratulations, Apple Bloom. You are a hero! Two and a half claps for you. (*clap* *clap* *whiff*)
Just hope she can keep this ability under-wrap - nothing good comes when others learn you can turn back time.
hhmmmmmm
HHhmmmm
HHHMMMmmmmm

I've learned not to trust 20th century when it comes to book adaptations... they slaughtered Timeline too; the book is actually one of my favorite time travel sci-fi.
Huh, never payed attention to Dishonored before, that kind of time stop ability is fairly common in games though. But did you have to remind me of that Eragon movie...

I'd love to be a fly on that particular wall

Does that make Apple Bloom to be Cher, or the creator of Daylight Savings Time?
A very interesting story, I like how you have done the characters and the plot. I am looking forward to seeing what happens next.
Good to see that the story continues to update. Hope you figure out how to make progress from here!
Being around talent friends tends to make one frustrate. I can hear the Friendship Lesson coming next chapter.
I don't blame kids for feeling jealous at someone else who seems to do better than them.
However, Sweetie and Scoot should stop and think a minute that what would normally Apple Bloom would think seeing her friends practice magic and flight from the sideline. Activities she normally cannot participate. Now that she can, who else won't join their friends? Is it show off for doing something that one can do? Does Rarity constantly use magic around the house a show off? Or Rainbow Dash fly whenever she awake? Then again, this is a viewpoint from a non-kid, so I won't blame them.
I think it's "Jeez", as in Jesus.
That makes me think of one of "Firebrand's" reviews. I believe the scene went like this...

Maybe she'd learn faster if you taught her Shadow Clone Jutsu?
Ya got a little southern for a sec*, Scootaloo.

Lol, woops. Half the time I'm forgetting it for Apple Bloom then I go and get stuck in accent mode.
I can’t wait!!! This is epic.
Will there be a sequel?
I have an idea! Why not get Rekaj to teach Sweetie and Scootaloo? It would certainly be more effective than what they're doing now.
