A Small Gift

“Sunset, are you about to leave?” Twilight called out to Sunset, who was still in the guest room.

“Yeah, I’m just packing the last bit of my stuff so I can study for when I get back.” Sunset answered back.

“Alright. Spike made some breakfast, do you have time to join us before you leave?”

“Sure. I have the free time, I’m in no rush.” Sunset said, coming into the dining room.

Walking into the dining room, Sunset had her saddlebag levitated in the air behind her. Dropping her bag near the entrance of the doorway, Sunset walked over to where Spike and Twilight were eating their pancakes. Sunset found her spot where Spike had sat her plate down. Levitating the syrup over, Sunset pour a little bit over the pancake, then she took a fork full bite out of it.

“Mmm, Spike these are delicious. Where did you learn to bake them to a fluff, they particularly melt in your mouth?” Sunset asked, after swallowing her first bite

“Thanks, I got the recipe from one of the chefs in Canterlot, when I was still learning how to cook.” Spike answered.

“Do you think I can get that recipe?”

“Only if you don't burn them like Twilight did,” Spike said in a chuckle.

“Spike! It was my first time making them, not my fault they got stuck to the bottom of the pan.” Twilight said defensively, but cracked a smile as the memory of that day came back.

Soon a knock came at the front door while Sunset and Twilight was talking.

“Wonder who that could be?” Twilight asked, to nopony in particular.

“I got it.” Spike said, hopping down from the chair and walking to the door.

“So Sunset, how does it feel to be back in Equestria for a few days?” Twilight asked.

“I don’t know. Peaceful maybe, relaxing? More so, it wasn't what I picture of me coming back to be like.”

“Being a student that is?” Twilight asked, catching wind of what Sunset was thinking.

“Yeah, I was sure I lost all entitlement to that.”

“Now you’re able to come and go as you like, that must make you happy.”

Before Sunset could reply, Spike walk back into the dining room carrying a medium size box in his claws, with Princess Luna behind him.

“P-P-Princess Luna?” Sunset stutter, wiping her face clear of any syrup.

“Luna?” Twilight said, hopping down from her seat. “I didn’t know you was stopping by. Is there something you need?”

“No Twilight,” Luna shook her head lightly, “we just came to give Sunset a present before she leaves, and we are glad that we have made it before you left.”

“A present? For me?” Sunset asked, getting down from her chair. “You didn’t have to get me a present.”

Luna smile as she levitated the box out of Spike’s claws. “Think of it as a gift, from teacher to student.” Luna said, understanding how Sunset was feeling at the moment.

Sunset tentatively took the box out of Luna’s magical hold as she looked at it, Twilight and Spike coming over to also get a better look.

“Sunset, we advice it's best to open that once you get back home.” Luna said, watching Sunset’s facial expression shift from wonder to confuse.

“Why?” Sunset asked.

“You will see.” Luna said, taking a playful smile. “Oh, we also left instructions and some information within.”

“Instructions?” Sunset query.

“What inside is a bit old fashion and are not in use anymore. We size it down for travel use, we hope it to be of some use to you.”

Not really understanding what Luna meant, Sunset only nodded her head in acceptance of that.

“We hope to hear that you made good use of it.” Luna said, turning around. “And Sunset?”

“Yes?”

“We have two small task for you. One, we would like to know some things about the other world. When you have the free time, can you do the following on this list?” Luna passed over a rolled up scroll, with a small sheepish smile on her face.

“Sure, I think I can manage this.” Sunset said, opening the scrolls to see what was on it.

“Two, we know you are still learning about friendship. And like one of Twilight’s task, we would like you to learn about friendship as well. Not just friendship alone, we prefer you to learn about a simple part of friendship. What helps hold friends together. We talk it over with our sister, and we both believe this would be something that shall benefit you as a task.”

So, this is a mix task from both my old teacher and new teacher. Sunset thought.

“I’m not sure if I will be able to complete that task, but I will do my best.” Sunset said, her eyes not meeting Lunas.

“Think you Sunset, we believe that the answer to that lies within you. We will see you soon.” With that, Luna made her way out the door, leaving a puzzled Sunset behind.

“What do you think she mean about that?” Sunset asked.

“I don’t know, but I’m more curious of what's in the box.” Spike said, looking at the box from all angles.

“Well, once I get back home and open it, I will let you guys know.” Sunset said, placing the box down next to her stuff. “For now, I want to finish the rest of my breakfast.”

Soon after Sunset had finish her breakfast, and her enjoyable chat with Twilight, she was ready to head home. Grabbing all of her stuff, and putting her box within her bag, Sunset made her way to the room that Twilight had the portal in. After going through the portal, Sunset reached into her bag and grabbed out the box Luna had given her. Sunset was tempted to open the box right then and there, but she decided against it. Carrying the box in her hands, Sunset studied it from all sides. The box looked no bigger than five inches, in width and length, and it wasn't that heavy. When Sunset finally made it home, she went straight to her room and dropped her stuff down on her bed. Puting the box down on her desk, Sunset was about to open it but remember she should text her friends to let them know that she was back.

“Alright, lets see what's in the box.” Sunset said, putting her phone down.

Taking the lid off the box, the four walls of the box felled down. In the center of the box were three small bags filled with powder and dust. Sunset also spotted a few gems in another bag.

What? This cant be right. Was the items destroyed when it went through the portal? Sunset thought, picking up each bag and laying them out in front of her.

Underneath one bag, Sunset found a note. Remembering Luna had given her both instructions and information on the items before her, Sunset took the note out and read it.

Sunset, the items you have before you are materials to make a Golem.

Golems where creature made from magic to help assist their creator. While Golems are limit in their abilities, they are one the most helpful creature to have around. Golems will follow your command, no matter what it may be. While Golems are void of any self emotions, they are aware of the creator emotions, and given who created them, they will act upon these emotions. Golems will follow their creator commands word for word, so make sure your commands are clear and straightforward.

The materials you have before you is only a fraction of what a full size Golem would need. Your Golem will be small in size, but I believe this would be ideal for you while on the other side. The gems you see before you have already been enchanted for your need, so you need not to worry about that.

Sunset looked up from the paper and looked down at the materials on her desk. Sunset had heard stories about Golems and knew they was put out of use years before Luna and Celestia became princesses and took Equestria back from Discord. Though the book never mention why, it was believed that Discord had manage to use the Golems to terrorize the ponies during his reign.

Wow, I will be the first pony, err person, and a thousand years to recreate a Golem. I don’t even think Twilight had even thought about creating a Golem herself for study. Sunset thought, poking the dust compound within the bag. Looking at the note, Sunset continue to read:

Using new research and magic, one of the enchantments made on the gem will allow your Golem to be self aware. Your Golem will be aware of it surrounding, this will also allow it to act freely when not given any commands. Another new enchantment added was self learning, this will allow your Golem to learn from any commands that you given it or what it sees. Your Golem can't learn everything, but it should learn a basic daily routine that you given it. With these two new found enchantments, your Golem should feel more like a companion then a servant. Here is the list of other enchantments your Golem has: Limited Flight, Levitation, Morphes, Shrinkage and Area recognition that will allow it to determine where its home is upon creation.

To create your Golem, take the gems out of there bag and place them in the middle of the box. One by one, pour the materials on top of the gem. Next, you must give a small amount of magical energy to give life to the Golem.

Sunset looked down at the pile she had created. “Magical energy? I should have more then enough since I just came back from Equestria.”

Placing her hand over the pile, Sunset started to channel her magic into her hands. Little by little, Sunset pour her magic into the dust pile. After a few seconds, the bottom of the box started to glow blue as the pile started to move and raise. Sunset jumped back as the four walls of the box started to generate purple lightning, striking the mound as it change it apperance. Sunset watched as the brown powder and gem rose up, creating a humanoid figure. Lightning struck the gems which Sunset saw were Sapphire, Emerald, Opal, Topaz and two small black gems that Sunset couldn't identify. The second layer of dust rose, which was a dark grey powder, the powder molded around the figure darkening it. The third on final layer rose, a silver-tan like material gave the Golem a shine. When the lighting stop and the Golem drop, Sunset walk back over to her desk to get a better look at the Golem she just created.

The Golem had a rainbow light glowing from within, raising and falling, showing all the cracks and crevices within the Golem. Slowly, all the cracks was melded together till there was nothing left but a polish metal behind. The Golem then took it first step, it was jigged and rough, like that of a robot. The Golem walk for a little bit then stop, its hands started to rotate in circle within its sockets. Soon, it did the same thing to it shoulders and head. The Golem then began to walked around a few more times till its movement was smooth, like that of a regular person. The Golem walk back to the center of the box and stood, not moving an inch. Sunset looked at the Golem with curiosity, it was shape like a human, but was a darkish silver. The Golem has sapphire gem molded in each of its hands and a large emerald in its back, cover by a small metallic lump. The shoulders and hip joints had a topaz gem stuck deep inside it, small purple static flew through it. Sunset saw that the two tiny black gems made the eyes of the Golem.

What? Did, did it just blink? Sunset stared at the Golem some more, wondering if it would blink again.

“Well huh, it can blink, didn't think it could do that. Was that all I needed to do?” Sunset asked herself, looking back at the note.

To finalize the Golem as your own, you must engrave your mark into it and give it a name, using Arcane Writing and your Arcane Signature.

“Arcane Writing, I haven't done that and years. It wasn't too hard the first time I did it, but what name should I give you?” Sunset pick up her pen and place it at the edge of her mouth, thinking about any possible name to give it. “You look like a tiny robot servant, I could call you Botler,” Sunset giggle to herself, “but that’s a terrible name.”

The Golem just looked at Sunset, its hands whirl in its socket, but no other movements was made.

“Hmm, you seem like a vessel for just Arcane energy alone. Maybe I can call you Archamist, or Sypher since you required magical energy?” Sunset put down her pen and pick up the note again as a thought passed her mind. “Do you required energy on a daily bases?” Looking through the note, Sunset found nothing stating about energy uses. “I guess not.”

The Golem looked at Sunset as small lighting bounce off of its body, the box below it still glowing a light blue, Arcane bolt arcing off the box and on the Golem.

“I think I’ll just call you Sypher, see how all that energy is going through you.” Sunset said, picking up her pen.

Channeling her magic into her hands, Sunset focus her magic into her fingertips. Building up her magic into the tip of her finger, the magic trace to the outline of her pen. Aiming her pen above the Golem’s head, Sunset wrote in bright blue arcane letter S,Y,P,H,E,R. Doting off the last letter, Sunset added her signature, which was basically a small image of her cutie mark. The letters whirl around the Golem and flew into the back of the Golem's head. The Golem, no, Sypher’s eyes started to shine as bright light flash in front of Sunset’s face, blinding her slightly. Sypher, now looking up at Sunset, took a step forward off the box and gave a small bow.

Sunset looked down at Sypher as he gave her a small bow. Sunset found it cute how the little metallic Golem bowed before her. Sypher then proceeded to walk in front of Sunset and sat down next to her hand. The Golem looked up at her, its small head tilting to it side. Sunset wearily put one hand on top of Sypher’s head, afraid of getting shocked by the arcane static, and slowly rubbed it.

“Wow, so smooth. You would never think just seconds ago you was a pile of dust and gems.” Sunset said, continuing to rubbed Sypher’s head.

Sypher just stared at Sunset, swaying its head side to side. Sunset looked at Sypher, wanting to test the commands properties that the Golem have.

“Umm, if you can understand me, then... I want you to nod your head for a yes?” Sunset asked, watching Sypher eagerly.

Sypher slowly nodded it's head, indicating that he can understand her.

Sunset smiled at this, glad that the Golem can understand her. Sunset went back to looking at the notes, she was curious about the limited fight above all things else. She didn't see how Sypher can fly, he didn't have any wings of the sort. Looking behind her for a place to test Sypher flight ability, Sunset spotted her friendship book on her bed and remember that Twilight and Spike wanted to know what was in the box. Getting up, Sunset went over to her bed and sat down. Picking up her book, Sunset wrote:

Dear Twilight Sparkle,

You will not believe what was in the box Princess Luna gave me. Inside the box was materials to make a Golem, an actual Golem, like the ones from a thousand years ago. I was very surprise to say the least, but amazed. Princess Luna took care of all the enchantments for me, so all I had to do were, give it some magic and a name. His name is Sypher.

Sunset put her pen down, awaiting Twilight’s reply. Looking back over to where Sypher was, Sunset almost jumped up out of her bed when she found that he was gone. Sunset scanned the room, wondering where the Golem went. She was about to get up in look for him, but the buzzing of her journal took her attention.

A Golem! Why did Luna give you a Golem? Furthermore, can you give me details on the Golem itself? I was always curious about them, how they work, move, function, but Celestia always told me that there was no more Golems around in this day and age, and that she didn’t wanted me try and make one since I was too young. If I had the free time, I would come over to study it myself. I do want to ask though, does the Golem seem safe to have around?

The last question puzzled Sunset. She wasn't expecting this type of question from Twilight regarding the Golem.

I believe Luna gave me this golem to act as an assistant. From what Luna had mention, it is only a fraction of the size of a normal Golem, so I don't believe the Golem will be dangerous. Also, it was believed that Discord had use the Golem for terrorizing, since I’m in the human world, I believe it is safe to have around. I think that why Luna had asked me not to open it until I return home.

Sunset closed her book and began to look around for her missing Golem. She found Sypher on the floor walking around. At first glance, Sunset thought Sypher was just curious of his surrounding, the way he looked at everything was like a kid in a candy shop. Then when Sypher turn his head towards Sunset, she saw a faint beam coming from its eyes as he scanned the room.

What is he doing, is this that ‘Area Recognition’ that was mention on the note? Sunset thought, watching the Golem with mild amusement. Another buzz from her book distracted Sunset from her current thought.

I see, well do keep me up to date with your Golem if anything seems to change. If anything remotely change, please let me know immediately. There are no books or any reliable information's about Golems in any local library. Since Golem are a creature of magic, it must be watch carefully for any signs of danger.

Sunset can see why Twilight is being concern about this, even if Luna gave the Golem to her, it is still an unknown magical experiment with little information behind it. Sunset gave Twilight her reassurance that she would keep an eye out if anything strange happens. Saying goodbye, Sunset closed her book and put it away, turning her attention back to the Golem, who was now gone again.

Where is he now? Sunset thought, getting off her bed. If I called him, would he come to me? Sunset looked around the room one last time, sitting down at her desk, Sunset decided to try and call him.

“Sypher!” Sunset yelled, just above her indoor voice. “Come here.”

Not a second later, Sunset spotted Sypher walking out from underneath her bed. The Golem stopped right in front of her feet. Sunset was about to pick him up, but the Golem did something more surprising, it flew up. Sunset watched as the Golem bent down, the lump on its back breaking into two pieces. Those two pieces proceeded to flatten and spread out like play doh, creating two large metallic wings. The emerald on its back glowed brightly as Sypher flap its wings one time, shooting up. When Sypher was just above the desktop, the wings harden and Sypher glided towards the desk, smooth and gentle like a feather. The moment he landed, the wings folded back into itself like liquid metal, recreating that metallic lump.

“Amazing!,” Sunset said and aww. Putting a finger to her lips, Sunset began to think out loud. “I wonder what else you can do besides your given abilities?” Sunset glanced down at the note on her desk. “Thats right, you can learn. Your learning is limited, but let see what I can teach you.”

Sunset spent the next four hours teaching Sypher various things, most of those things involved assisting with school material like sharpening pencils, bringing her papers, putting her schoolwork in her bag and making sure her stuff was ready if she ever forget something. Seeing that Sypher will be her assistant, Sunset had Sypher to help her clean up around her room, to see how much he can do. Despite the fact that Sypher is a mere six inches tall, he prove to be very helpful when it come to picking up and moving small things around that was in a tough-to-reach spot. Sunset was amazed to find that the little Golem could lift up and move a large paperback dictionary with little effort. Though Sypher strength seems to be limited the moment the book tilted and fell out of his metallic hands, which cause her to laugh the moment the Golem tried to catch it. Sunset then proceeded to show Sypher around the rest of the house, the Golem eyes scanning everything in range. The moment Sunset had said “this is your home,” Sypher eyes went white followed by sharp arcane static flying to the floor. After a couple of seconds, Sypher eyes went back black, Sunset passed this off as his ‘Area Recognition’ spell or voice command. While Sunset was walking around in the kitchen, Sypher was flying above her shoulder. During this point, Sunset had found that Sypher flight time was only three minutes, as that was how long he stayed in flight before landing. Though his recovery time was pretty fast, about ten seconds, Sunset decided to put him on her shoulder for the time being.

“Well, I guess that's all I can really teach you. Though you seem to already be aware of what's needed to be done?” Sunset said out loud.

Sypher just sat there on Sunset’s shoulder, tilting its head side to side. Sunset couldn't help herself smiling at the Golem, she was like a little filly who just received a toy on Hearth's Warming Eve. Something Sunset wish she spent more time enjoying back in Equestria.

“I can't wait to show you off to my friends tomorrow. You’ll be the first magical thing they interacted with that didn't ended up in a fight, or a cause of a fight, or source of power, or-”

Sunset was cut off from her self loathing as Sypher gently tapped her on the side of her head. Sypher then leaped off of Sunset’s shoulder and flew in front of her face. Sypher just floated there, head tilting as he looked Sunset in the eyes. Sunset had a shocked expression on her face before she started to chuckle to herself.

“Sorry, I forgot you can sense my emotions.” Sunset apologized, patting the Golem on his head. “I should go take a shower and fix myself something to eat. Can you take all of my school work and studies and put it on my desk?” Sunset asked. Sypher just stayed where he was at, floating in Sunset face, though he did backed off some. “Oh that’s right, I must use direct commands.” Sunset said, snapping her fingers. “Sypher, put all of my school work and studies, that I showed you, on my desk in my room." Sypher nodded his head and flew off to Sunset’s room.

Sunset smiled as she watch the Golem flew away. “This is something that may take awhile to get use to, but it something I can get use to.”


A couple hours into the night, Sunset stretched her arms after finishing reading one of her books from the royal library. Since Sunset didn’t need much studying for school, she took this as an opportunity to study some of her lessons she brought back with her. Sunset looked over to Sypher, who was resting on his box that was still giving off arcane lighting, bouncing on and off his body, giving an image like he was recharging.

“How is this still giving off magical energy?” Sunset asked, prodding the box with her pen.

Even though the lighting didn't shock or effect Sunset when she touched it with her pen, there were always a faint vibration from it every time she did so. Pushing the question aside, Sunset looked at her clock to see it read 9:54 PM.

“Its pretty late, I need to get some sleep.” Sunset said, stifling a yawn.

Closing her book, Sunset turned off all the lights in the room and went to her bed. Sunset glanced back at Sypher, who was still resting on his box. The arcane lighting didn’t give off that much light, it was pretty faint, almost non existing in the dark room. Sighing, Sunset laid her head down and tried to get some sleep.

***

Sunset jolted awake a few hours later, clenching her head while she panted.

“Another nightmare,” Sunset mumble in a whisper. “Why do I keep having these stupid nightmares?” Sunset loathed, bringing her knees up and hugging it close to her face.

Turning her head to look at the clock, Sunset saw that it was only 1:17 AM. Sliding out of bed, Sunset looked over to Sypher to see large black lightning arching off of Sypher body, his body shaking and twitching a tad bit. Sunset gawked at this before she rubbed her eyes, wondering if she was just seeing things. Looking back at Sypher, everything seemed to be normal. Small purple arcane lightning that was dimmed in the dark and no twitching body or anything amiss.

“W-was that real or was I seeing stuff?” Sunset asked herself, walking over to Sypher.

Sunset poked Sypher in the chest, waking the Golem up instantly, causing the arcane lightning to fade to an almost halt. Sypher looked at Sunset, who only looked back at him before poking him again. There was no black mark or anything noticeably different on Sypher’s body.

“Must be the nightmare messing with me.” Sunset sighed with relief. “Sorry Sypher, you can go back to sleep.” Nodding, Sypher went back to his sleep mode, reactivating the arcane lightning again.

Walking over to one of the desk lamp on the far side of the room, Sunset turned on the lamp before returning back to her bed. Snuggling back underneath her blanket, Sunset closed her eyes, hoping that the light will help her sleep better and prevent anymore nightmares for the rest of the night.

Sunset woked up the next morning, feeling a little better after her last night scare. Sypher was already up in about, doing what he was taught from yesterday. Sunset was surprised at first, but remembered how easily he caught on to things. Yawning, Sunset got out of the bed and grabbed some changing clothes and went to go take a shower.

***

With a towel around her neck, Sunset walked in the kitchen where Sypher was sitting down on the table.

“Morning, Sypher?” Sunset greeted the little golem as she walked to the fridge. Sypher only tilted his head at her. Walking back over him, Sunset patted him on the head. “That made my morning a little bit easier for me, thank you.” Again, Sypher only looked at her, but he gave off a sense of joy.

Grabbing a small fruit cup of applesauce from the fridge, Sunset walked over and grabbed the already made toast. Walking into the living room, Sunset picked up her bag and double checked the content. Glad to see all of her stuff was there, Sunset grabbed one of her book from her bag before placing it on her couch and went back to the kitchen table. Sunset watch the little golem as he walked around the table, just looking at everything in sight. Once again, another smile crept on Sunset’s face as she watched him. Placing her book down onto the table, she open it and began to read as she ate her breakfast.

“Sypher, come over here.” Sunset said. With a quick movement, Sypher came over to where she was at and looked at her. “Can you solve this problem?” Sunset asked, pointing to one of her math equation within the book. Sypher looked down, his eyes scanning the book with small, white flashing. After a few seconds, Sypher looked back up at her, blinking owlishly. “I guess not.” Sunset said with a half smile.

Sypher sat down by the book as his eyes continue scanning the page. Sunset figure she might be able to teach him a few simple equation, but that would have to wait until she learns more about him. Finishing with her breakfast, Sunset washed her plate off and put it back in the cabinet. Going back into living room, she grabbed her jacket from the closet and put it on.

Grabbing her bag, she turned to Sypher. “Come on Sypher, let’s go.”

Without another word, Sypher spreads his wings and flew to Sunset’s side. Landing on her left shoulder, the golem grabbed hold of her collar and looked up at her.

“Comfortable? Alright then, let’s go.” Sunset said, slinging her bag over her right shoulder and heading out the door.

***

Walking into school, Sunset half consciously hid Sypher behind her hair. Not wanting any of the other students to see her having another magical item, she went straight into her locker.

Opening her locker, Sunset looked to Sypher. “Sorry, but your going to have to go in here for now. I wish I can take you with me into class, but that might cause a distraction.” Picking the golem up off her shoulder and placing him in her locker. “Maybe next time, you can explore the school grounds. Maybe, I should talk to Principal Celestia, so you can go roam free by yourself.” Sunset mumble to herself, closing her locker.


Sypher eyes glow white, the last few sentences resonating around in his head. You should go free and explore.

Walking up to the locker door, Sypher placed his hands on the lock mechanism. With a blue magical aura, the lock began to turned. Pushing the door open, Sypher spread his wings and flew out. Turning around, he closed the locker door before gliding to the ground. Now free, Sypher begins his exploration.

Walking around the empty hallway, Sypher spotted a trophy case on the wall. Spreading his wings, he flew up to get a better look. With glowing white eyes, he scan the case. Finding nothing of interest, he flew off into an open room. Landing by the doorway, Sypher walked into a classroom full of students. Walking under all the desks, he scanned everything in sight. Sypher scanned the student’s backpack, their jackets, their desk, and even the students themselves. Finding little of interest once more, Sypher left the out the classroom and headed for the next room. The next classroom he enter has students standing around a table with burning beakers. Before he got the chance to walk in, a small explosion, followed by smoke came from within. As students rushed out the classroom, Sypher turned around and kept on walking to the next room.

Walking into a large open hallway, Sypher took to the sky and started flying around. His eyes scan the school flag, the school uniform and even the billboard, memorizing his location. As Sypher was landing on a desk to charge his flight time, a glass case was placed over him.

“Well, what do we have here?” Sliding a lid under the case, Sypher was picked up and brought into view of a blue hair woman. “It looks like we have another magical item from Sunset Shimmer’s world. Let’s see of what our sister has to say about this.” With that, Sypher was carried off by the mysterious woman.


“Sunset Shimmer, can you tell us what this is?” Principal Celestia asked, presenting Sypher within an enclosed glass case on her desk.

“I found this creature flying around in the halls. Do you know if it’s dangerous or not?” Vice-Principal Luna added.

Sunset stared at Sypher, who was looking around within his confine space. His eyes was glowing a bright white, a tinted green glow surrounding his body.

How did he manage to get out of my locker? Did I accidentally left my locker open before I left. Why was he flying around the school? Sunset question herself as she turn to meet the Principal and Vice-principal gaze.

“Well, I umm….” Sunset placed both her hands between her legs and looked down. “He not dangerous, he's actually... My personal assistant from Equestria.”

Luna and Celestia both look at each other, silently mouthing something to each other. After a few seconds of silent talking between them, they returned their attention back to Sunset.

“And why was he out exploring school’s ground?” Luna question.

“I don’t know how he got out, I put him in my locker and closed it behind me. I think the locker might have been left open or got jammed.”

“You say he your personal assistant. Why would you leave him in your locker then?” Celestia asked.

“I didn’t want him to distract the class or cause any commotion.”

Luna picked up the cased golem and looked to Sunset. “Are you sure this little creature won't cause any harm of the sort?”

“I’m sure. So far, he’s only here to help me, nothing more.”

“And what exactly is it?” Luna asked, placing the golem back down on the desk.

"He is a golem given to me by the princess in Equestria." She mumbled under her breath.

“A golem you say? And he’s here to help you?” Luna queried, looking the golem over. “You promise that he won’t be of trouble or a source of magical problem while here?”

“Yes, I promise, I will take full responsible for his actions.”

With a small sigh, Celestia got up from her desk and walked over to Sunset. Picking up the golem, she handed it to Sunset with a smile. “Maybe this might be one item that I can allow in school. But next time you bring something from your world, please tell one of us beforehand. We don't want something happening, and you're being accused of it because it was from your world. Am I right Miss Shimmer?”

Nodding, Sunset remove the casing that was holding Sypher and picked him up. Staring at him, she only wonder how he manage to get free. Shaking her head, she put him on her shoulder and stood up, turning to the door.

“Oh Sunset, before you go. I would advice you talk to your teachers and let them know about your… assistant.” Celestia advised, sitting back down at her desk.

Smiling sheepishly, Sunset only nodded leaving out the door and heading back to her class.

“Well, it looks like I’ll be introducing you a bit earlier to my friends then expected.” Sunset sigh with a heavy breath. “You’re going to have to show me how you got out of my locker later.” She mumbled under her breath.

For a split moment, Sypher vibrated on her shoulder before laying his head on her neck. As Sunset reached to grab him and see if he was okay, Sypher’s head sprung up and started to looked around. Sunset reeled her hand back from the sudden jump of the golem.

That was a bit.... strange. I hope nothing is wrong with him.
