The small unicorn growled a bit as she stomped her hoof reading the page over and over again. The page itself was quite clear on how to cast the certain spell, however, every time she attempted to cast it the spell just did nothing to the preferred target. This enraged the mare even more! What was she doing wrong?! Technique? Body position?
"Gah! Stupid magic!" The filly shouted as she crossed her forelegs and muttered mild curses. Then her ears perked up as she heard a knock at the door. "Come in!" The filly said in minor annoyance as she stared at the book once more to get back up and stare at the door. Opening the door, the familiar face of her teacher and friend peeked through looking at the young filly. "Twilight, I heard some yelling. Is everything alright?" Princess Celestia asked her young student, Twilight Sparkle. "No... This spell won't work! I keep trying it but it does nothing!" Twilight said flailing her hooves in anger. The older alicorn smiled a bit as she used a levitation spell to pick up the book and brought it over to herself reading the instructions.
'The Alquchim Spell, also known as the illusion spell, is not the hardest to cast. However, though you may be a skilled unicorn this spell requires more of a 'personal' bond with the intended item.' Celestia looked up from the book then turned to the filly. "Twilight, what were you trying to do exactly?" Twilight then used her own magic to grab a banana and held it up. "I was trying to make an illusion of this fruit!" Celestia smiled. "Do you have a bond with the fruit?" Twilight blinked in confusion, "Bond?" Celestia nodded as she pushed the book towards her student tapping the sentence with her hoof. "You must read all of it, or check if you have everything down. It may be a bit harder, but it will help you in the long run" The alicorn smiled down at the filly as the lavender unicorn read the sentence over and over. "I thought I did..." Twilight said huffing a bit before looking back up at the Princess "Thank you, mom."
Celestia leaned down and nuzzled the unicorn as she smiled a bit "Of course, now how about we get something to eat first then you can finish your training hm?" Celestia cooed tapping the fillies nose with her wing, it made Twilight giggle a bit as she nodded eagerly. "Okay! What are we having? I hope it's not that... stuff we had when those delicates came by... that meat stuff is just gross" Twilight said sticking her tongue out remembering the foul taste of meat. "Oh no, I will be making some of your favorites" Celestia chuckled staring down at her, a smile across her muzzle. Twilight gasped in excitement! Then proceeded to hug the princess who, so kindly, returned the gesture.
-Somewhere in another world, in a different time-
Undyne blinked a bit, had she heard her mother right? "I-I'm sorry... say that again?" She said confusion on her face making her mother groan in annoyance. "Undyne, You can't go and train! You're hurting yourself more and more every day!" The larger fish monster spat out looking down at the guppie, who gave an enraged look back. Undyne stomped her foot down on the floor,
"MOM I'M TRY-"
"Trying to protect monster-kind! Yeah, I heard your excuses! How about that kid at school! How were you protecting him while you beat him to a pulp, I had to write many letters of apologies!" Her mother growled clenching her fists as Undyne snarled. "He was making fun of me! What was I suppose to do!" Undyne's mother looked shocked at her child before giving another sigh, "Nothing, you ignore him! God! I thought that you would know something a simple as that!" Undyne looked at her then turned to the door muttering curses as she threw open the door. "Undyne. UNDYNE! GET BACK HERE!" Her mother's shouts were simply ignored by the younger monster, as she left her home.
Undyne threw a spear hard at the cave wall, making it stick in deep. "She doesn't understand!" Undyne snarled as she summoned another one and tossed it into the wall only to have this one bounce off and leave a dent. She did this over and over again non-stop until most of the wall looked like the moon's crater expanse... She took a deep sigh and sat down on the floor looking at her little outrage. It wasn't good, but it also wasn't bad. "My my, what an angry little child!" A voice chuckled making Undyne jump a bit turning around. "W-Who said that! SHOW YOURSELF WIMP!" The voice chuckled as a tall robed figure stepped into the light, she never saw a monster like this... it looked like an amalgamation of several animals combined into one freaky monster. "W-Who are you?" The child stuttered trying to maintain her 'heroic' stance. The figure chuckled as bowed a bit "I am Discord, God of Chaos and everything whacky!" He chuckled at the very, very confused child. "God?" Undyne put her hand on her hips, rolling her eyes "Yeah, and I'm King Asgore!" She sarcastically replied at this, Discord. He smirked shrugging "Who knows maybe you are! Just have to have the right mindset to see it!" Discord smirked looking at her then at the cratered wall.
"Something happen to make you destroy the poor wall?" He asked his eyes inspecting the 'poor wall' Undyne groaned and simply replied, "Parents" Discord chuckled and nodded "Yeah they can be a pain in the flank at times... I'm guessing you and her don't see everything..." He held out his talon as two... eyes appeared in it and then he held them in both hands, "...Eye to eye." Undyne, trying not to be sick, nodded a bit "Yeah... she thinks I shouldn't train! I mean what if a human comes and starts hurting everyone!" "Or a Five-Headed shark with lasers!" Discord added, making Undyne chuckle a bit "Yeah! I mean so what if I beat up a kid... he had it coming!" Discord raised an eye brow at this "Did he do something wrong? Or did you beat him up for the sheer joy of it?" Undyne blinked looking at the creature "No, he was making fun of me! Called me a freak or something..." Discord smiled a bit patting the small monsters shoulder. "Oh, if anyone should be called that it would me!" Well, Undyne couldn't disagree with that... Discord chuckled thinking for a bit then smiled "I think you're more of a... heroine as they call them" The guppie tilted her head "You think so?" Discord nodded. "Mhm, Sure." He said staring down at her... "And I think I can help you become... stronger..." Undyne blinked stepping back a bit, what did he mean? "Stronger? How!" He snapped his fingers making a piece of paper appear and handed it to her. "I will give you a... special... experience, but it will be tough! I doubt even a fishy like you could even stand a chance there!" Undyne laughed "Fuhaha! Yeah right!" Discord smirked "Then sign here, and let your 'training' begin"
With a swift hand motion, Undyne signed the parchment then Discord snapped his fingers making it disappear. "Thank You little girl... and have fun..." With that Discord grinned an evil grin snapping his fingers once more making the child disappear.
