"DAWN!" Yelled mom calling from downstairs. "Hurry up; you'll be late for your lessons with twilight." She said now yelling at the base of the stairs.
"Okay mom... One sec." I said as I finished tightening the straps on my saddle bags. I went to leave the room but remembered one thing. I ran over to my dresser and quickly grabbed a small necklace with a cross on it from the jewelry box. I strung it over my neck and looked at myself in the mirror, and smiled. I looked over myself. My white coat and long hair which flowed like a sunset with a vibrant mix of purples and reds and oranges. I remember my fur used to be a light orange, but before I was even five years old it had faded to white, nopony knows why, but it reminds me of father. The necklace I'm wearing is his as well... It's one of few things we have left of him. With that done, I smiled at myself and ran out of my room and down the stairs.
"Have fun..." Said mom before she gave me a kiss on the forehead.
"Okay mom..." I said rolling my eyes hoping to leave as soon as I can. She could see I was in a hurry and just smiled.
"Alright... Have fun, and if you see your sister tell her to visit for dinner tonight." She said.
"Okay mom!" I said rushing off down the long road from our house. We lived in a big house near the forest and a little ways away from the streets, but it was nice, and it didn't take too long to leave the house and get into the main streets of ponyville. Both my sister scootaloo and my mother fly from the house, but I like to run, I enjoy the land more than the sky most of the time, maybe because I hang out with my mom's friend fluttershy a lot. I started rushing through the streets and began making my way through the roads and streets heading to twilights house. Twilight was a good friend of mine, and she's been helping me with my magic for a while now.
My name is dawn, if you haven't guessed. I'm a Pegasus pony living in ponyville, but I can't say that I'm normal. In fact, I'm anything but...and I owe it all to my father... Crimson blast. I don't know the story completely, even though I keep his journal around with me always. It's one of the last things we have to remember him with before he disappeared. Even though he disappeared, we know better. He isn't coming back, and while that makes me sad sometimes, I'm still glad that he was my father, but I've gone most of my life without ever really knowing him. This necklace is also one of the things I have left of him, I wear it constantly. For some time now I've been going to see twilight, and she's been helping me with my magic.
It may seem strange though... A Pegasus using magic, but that's just one more thing I have to thank my father for. He wasn't just a normal guy, he was a Pegasus too, but he was capable of using magic's if varying sorts, and I suppose that skill was passed down to me as well. It even tells us in his journal how he got the powers. From the gods, and all the elemental lords and stuff. It's always a bit confusing, but every time I go through it, it makes a little more sense. I love reading about the great adventures my father had, and all the friends he made. It's like reading a fairy tale, but it's even more amazing when you see that the ponies in it are actual ponies that I know and can tell you that those things are true. Especially twilight, she tells me things I didn't even know about my father.
I finally arrived at twilight's house. A large tree which was carved out and made to be a library. It's odd for twilight to stay at such a place considering that she is a princess. She's always back and forth between Canterlot and ponyville. Fulfilling her royal duties with bother princesses Luna and Celestia, and even princess cadence at the crystal empire. I haven't been to many places other than ponyville, but I have been to Canterlot a few times. But someday I hope to be a greater adventurer than my father, and I know that if I try I can easily become one, but I'm still young. I only just turned 18 a month ago in the spring.
"Twilight... It's me!" I said as I walked up to the door and started knocking.
"Come in... I've got a guest..." She said. I opened up the door and walked in. As I did I felt a noticeable chill in the air, and it seemed very cold in here. I walked in to see princess twilight sitting down with another colt. He was wearing heavy spiked armor, and a hood which covered his face which was turned away from me. The source of the cold seemed to be coming from him. He was a silvery white tail and long mane, but I couldn't see his face. Suddenly he turned his head to look at me and I saw that he...was a she. A mare, with icy blue fur and eyes that glowed a strange blue glow. As well as a sword by her side with symbols that glowed the same way.
"Twilight... Who is this?" I asked curiously. She just giggled and smiled.
"This is snowbelle." Said twilight. "She's a princess from the northern continent of Neverspring... She's a fried of your fathers."
"Is this the daughter you spoke about twilight?" Asked the mare.
"Yep... That's crimson daughter." She said smiling. The mare stood up and walked over to me. Because she was a princess a bowed to her, but she smiled and picked me back up. Her touch was cold, but oddly welcoming.
"There's no need for that, I'm not a princess anymore. My blood isn't even royal, I was adopted." She said. "If at all, I should kneel to you... Your father was a great stallion... His heart burned with fierce intensity, he was brave beyond comparison... And it was he who had come to my home and saved it from certain doom." Hearing her words made me smile.
"Thanks..." I said gratefully.
"Since you've got a stern grip on some magic, it's time to teach you come other stuff... But first, I want you to tell me what neutral magic is." Said twilight walking over. This is another one of her pop quizzes, but I study magic a lot, and I know a lot of things. My mother said that twilights slowly starting to turn me into an egghead just like her and. my big sis calls me a bookworm. But it feels good to be smarter than scootaloo, even if she is an adult now.
"Neutral magic is magic that doesn't pertain to a certain element." I said. "Examples would be levitation magic and basic teleportation." She said.
"But there are methods of those spells that can be used in conjunction with other elements." She said. "But pertaining to a no element is correct." She said smiling. "Neutral magic is raw magical energy pulled from the earth and your core which in turn creates a concentration of magic, which when released in a specific manner, created a certain spell." She said. "It's the basses of magic, and that's where the beginner magic starts ends, the advanced stuff is adding an element to that." Said twilight. "That's why I brought snowbelle here... She's going to teach you ice magic."
"Really?!" I said excitedly. "Cool."
"Now..." Said snowbelle. "Ice magic is a variation of water magic, which is easy to understand, but very hard to control, and ice is even more difficult to control." She said.
"First we'll have to teach you water magic first." Said twilight. "But with the quickness your learn at, I'm sure you'll be able to get it in time for you to start learning ice magic today."
"Awesome... Let's go... I'm ready." I said with fierce determination.
"Alright alright..." Said twilight as she and snowbelle smiled. "Here..." She said using her magic to levitate a glass of water over and onto the floor. "Watch..." She said as she used her magic, her horn started to glow and suddenly the water in the glass began to spiral out of the cup. Once it was out, it spiraled right back inside.
"Cool..." I said.
"Now you give it a try..."
"Okay... Piece of cake..." I said getting into a firm stance and focusing my magic on the glass of water. I managed to make it levitate, but that wasn't water magic.
"Not quite... Try focusing on the water alone, and not the glass of water as a whole." Said snowbelle.
"Okay..." I said focusing. Since the glass of water was clear, it was easy to imagine that it wasn't there. I imagined the water moving. I tried forcing my magic to merge with I the water. And after some time something started to happen. The water started to ripple, and then bubble, and the. It started to evaporate. Knowing it wasn't working I stopped.
"Not quite..." Said twilight. "You're just boiling the water, don't try and force it. Make a connection, one your magic is inside you should be able to feel the flow of the water, and once you do simply manipulate that flow into the flow of your magic, and the water will follow... Remember water flows, both naturally and with magic." She said.
"Alright... One more time..." I said with determination. I focused again. I created a spiral path with my magic, invisible to the eye, but I could sense it. I merged the water with my magic. And like that, the water started to spiral out of the cup like a flowing it was flowing up the stream of my magic. I smiled at the accomplishment. Once it hit the edge of my magic trail it stopped. I continued it, and soon enough I was moving the water around freely, simply creating a stream of magic for it to follow.
"Perfect..." Said twilight. "Create a stream of magic and the water will follow."
"Amazing..." Said snowbelle. "You really are his daughter..." She said. "Something that would have taken a couple days to even understand was done in a few short minutes."
"Moving the water is one thing... But there's still understanding the ebb and flow of the water. Only then can you master it, but that's for another day." She said. "I'll let snowbelle show you what to do next; I've got something I need to attend to... You two have fun." She said walking into another room and closing the door behind her.
"Alright... Now I'll show you how to perform ice magic." Said snowbelle. I still kept the length of water spiraling around me. But her magic power suddenly overtook my own and the water froze solid in a matter of seconds and dropped to the ground. It hit the ground and didn't shatter, but it bounced like a rock.
"So what do I do?" I asked.
"Ice magic is a tricky thing to understand." She said. "In order to freeze water you have to understand it on a deeper lever..." She said. "But you know, I'm sure, that water is a lot of small atoms rushing around inside it..." She said.
"Yes..." I said.
"You know what the three stages of matter are...correct?" She asked.
"Solid, liquid, and gas." I said.
"Good." She replied. "Inside of a liquid, atoms move with controlled motions and move at steady paces. Inside gasses, atoms and molecules move sporadically and with no set patter, and in solids, atoms and molecules are still, but the only vibrate at a fine consistency, they are never truly still. Earlier when you began to boil the water, you heated it up, causing it to start turning into a gas, making the atoms move more freely." She said.
"So to freeze it, I have to control the atoms, and make them stop moving... Right?" I asked.
"Precisely..." She said. "It's almost impossibly to freeze them completely, and get the atoms to fully stop, but the more you can restrict their movement, the strong your ice will become." She said. Suddenly the ice melted and lifted from the ground, returning to the glass.
"Cool..." I said. I got back into my stance and focused on the glass. I focused and focused, and tried to get the atoms to stop, but it wasn't easy. I kept trying and trying.
"You have to feel the flow of the water. Before when the water boiled you forced all of your magic inside of the water... Expanding the water outward... Don't keep your magic inside..."
"But on the outside." I said finishing her sentence. She didn't say anything, but she smiled. I understand now, I have to create a trap, a vacuum almost to trap the water in. I focused my magic on the outside of the water, like I would if I was levitating it, then I started to compress, and surely enough the water began to freeze, but compressing it too much was hard, simply because water doesn't freeze easily. Snowbelle smiled and walked over to me.
"You did it... You froze the water." She said. "Just like that, force the water from the outside in." She said. "If you keep practicing soon enough you'll be able to use this as a defense method as well as a means of attacking. Shooting spikes of ice from the ground isn't hard if you pull the moisture from the earth and quickly freeze it as it rises." She said, "But remembers, you can only use water magic in places where there is water readily available. Right now you can only use open sources of water like this, but if you keep training you'll be able to pull moisture from the earth, the plants, even the air. And if you get really good, you'll be able to control the water inside of other living creatures. Ponies are made of 70% water as you know! And other animals have water in them. But that's a difficult thing to do since it's not purely water... Not even I could do it. But being able to control your enemies from the inside like that is a sure fire way to victory." She said.
"That sounds really harsh..." I said. Using magic like that, it's almost like your enemies don't have a fighting chance.
"I agree that it might be a little over the top..." Said snowbelle. "But when somepony of something is trying to hurt you, then you have to do everything you can to stop them, even if you don't have to kill them, stopping them from the inside is a good way to subdue your enemies."
"So how's it feel to have learned your first magic element?" Asked twilight suddenly walking out from the room she was in.
"It's cool... I can't wait to show mom..." I said.
"Make sure to tell your mom I said hello when you go back home..." Said twilight.
"Is that is for today?" I asked curiously since these usually go on for a few hours.
"Unfortunately so." She said. "I'm sorry, but I've got to return to Canterlot for a little while now... Something's come up... But in the mean time I want you to practice your magic and show me again when I return... Okay?" She asked smiling.
"Yep... I promise." She said.
"You already...know how to move water... As well as make it boil, and freeze." Said snowbelle. "While boiling water isn't an off branch of magic, it's good for creating steam covers to try and escape, and well as using it to ward off enemies with hot water attacks."
"Now go on... You're free to go, and be sure to practice..." Said twilight smiling.
"I will..." I said happily as I turned to the door and left. As I did both twilight and snowbelle smiled as I rushed out of the house happily with a new magic. There's still plenty of time left in the day, so I'm going to go meet my friend for a while. She lives in the small gypsy encampment by the park. That's another thing that I can thank my dad for, the gypsy camp. It used to be just one family, but some of them flocked here because of my dad, and ponyville openly welcomed them, with so much room in the park. Half of it was given to them, with some room to spare. They live in their wagons and tents and have turned that part of ponyville into a year round bazaar. There's always tons of interesting things to see there, but I've got a very special friend there who I love to play with. As I made my way from twilight house to the park, which wasn't far, I was stopped by a familiar face.
"Hey kiddo... What's up?" Asked the pony who stopped me. She was a mare from the gypsy camp, and I heard she was the first one here too. Her name was mystee and she was a good friend of my dad's. She smiled at me and looked at me with her green eyes. "Coming back from twilights?" She asked.
"I am... I just learned how to do ice magic..." I said.
"Oh really... Show me." She said in a challenging sort of way. She liked to tease me a bit like that, but she's a good friend and teaches me a lot of cool tricks like potion brewing, as well she's taught me everything there is to know about hunting and gathering, like what kinds of plants are poisonous or safe to eat, and how to survive in the wild.
"Uh... I can't..." I said looking around. "There's no water anywhere..." She just started to laugh like she always does, making me feel a little defeated because I had just learned this cool new magic, and it can't show her. But then I spotted something she was carrying, it was a small cloth pouch, which she carried around with her, it had a cork and a nozzle, it was a water pouch. I smiled, but kept playing like I couldn't find any water.
"Well... Maybe next time..." She said patting me on the head and walking away. As she walked away I quickly used the magic I just learned to freeze the water inside of her pouch. As she walked away I gave a small chuckle to myself a continued down the path to the park, not too far. From here I could already see the tents and the bazaar set up. I started making my way through until I came to the entrance of the bazaar. It's always crowded this time of year. I made my way through the crowds of ponies and took a left turn into the park. My friend doesn't live in the gypsy bazaar, but a little bit outside of it.
I made my way from the bazaar and over to the overgrowth of trees in the edge of the park by the lake. That's where she lives, my friend. The overgrowth of trees is connected to the everfree forest, which I've been constantly told Is a dangerous place, but someday soon I'll adventure through the forest and find lots of cool things in there like treasure and monsters and dungeons and other cool things. I kept those thoughts in my mind as I made my way into the small outcropping of the forest. There was a path that leads to a small opening in the trees.
"Sprite...are you here?" I asked.
"Dawn...is that you?" Asked a voice.
"Where are you?" I asked.
"Over here...just a second..." She said as she emerged from behind a wall of vines. Sprite isn't like most other ponies, mostly because she's a fire spirit that my dad summoned. Her coat is a bright orange and her cutie mark is a ball of flame. Her mane however is fire, bright burning fire. Both mane and tail, and her eyes are a burning red. She walked over and smiled.
"Hi sprite." I said.
"Hey dawn..." She said. "You're here early..."
"Twilight had some stuff that came up... But I learned some new magic... C'mon... I'll show you its cool." I said.
"Alright...hold on..." She said as I made my way out of the forest. She followed right behind me and I made my way over to the large pond.
"Watch...watch..." I said. Sprite sat there and smiled and I focused my magic. I created a stream of magic around me, and the water in the pond flowed naturally with it until the water was circling around me.
"Oh...cool water magic." Said sprite.
"Now watch this..." I said. I used my new trick to force magic on the outside of the water stream and then froze the water into a solid ring and it dropped to the ground. "It's ice magic too..." I said.
"Nice..." She said.
"Maybe after your done with that I can teach you fire magic..." She said. "I am the master... I'm literally made of fire..." She said. While she doesn't look like it, her form right now isn't a true one. Her full form is the same shape as the one here, but her entire being is made of fire. She stays like this. But sometimes she turns into her normal self.
"Maybe... Is fire magic hard?" I asked.
"Well not for me..." She said. "But I heard its one of the more difficult elements to learn other than earth."
"Oh..." I said. "Maybe I should stick to water and ice for now..." I said using my magic to reheat the frozen circle around me and return the water to the pond.
"Perhaps... But you should feel grateful that you're capable of using magic in the first place." She said. "With the exception of only a few ponies including your father, magic normally cannot be done by ponies without horns, or without the use of some kind of item or enchanted weapon." She said waking past me.
"I know..." I said.
"You have your dad to thank for that... He was a pretty great guy." She said.
"I know he was... I wish he was still here though." I said growing a little sullen and depressed. Sprite could tell and she had a worried look on her face.
"Hey... Wanna see something cool?" She asked.
"What?" I asked as she peaked my curiosity.
"This way... It's in the everfree forest, not too far from my opening... C'mon..." She said spreading her wings and flying above me and landing by the entrance to her little grove. I followed her in and she walked me through the trees past her grove. Her little grove had a small path which lead into the everfree forest. There was a time when this pace was inhabited, and even the Canterlot castle stood in this forest, but the forest had overtaken the land here and covered everything, but there are still these roads here. I followed her around for a while as we made our way along the path and soon she deviated from the path and I followed her.
"What are you trying to show me?" I asked.
"Just come this way..." She said. I followed her through the thick shrub. I pushed a few branches out of the way and she did too. She let go of one of the branches and it swung back and hit me in the face.
"Ow...hey!" I said rubbing my snout.
"Sorry..." She said still looking forward. I became weary of other branches flinging back and hitting my face now. I made my way behind her until she suddenly stopped making me walk right into her backside.
"Hey...c'mon... Warn me when you do that stuff..." I said making my way next to her. She just smiled and stuck her tongue out at me. Then she gestured to what was in front of us and it was a large cave opening.
"Look... I found this the other day..." She said.
"What is it?" I asked.
"I don't know... But I can sense something powerful inside." She said.
"Like a dragon?" I asked excitedly.
"No... Not a dragon..." She said. "There's no signs of life, but something powerful is dwelling inside... It seems like it's fairly new here too... Which is even more curious."?
"Oh wow...have you gone in?" I asked.
"No... Look, at the inner edges of the cave." She said. I stepped forward and looked around inside of the cave, and there were strange symbols that looked like they had been carved into it. "Those are warding seals; they keep out unwelcomed guests... And apparently I'm not welcomed in this cave... See." She said waking forward and placing her hoof out. Her hoof stopped in the air and hit some kind of glowing field that now lit up the entrance of the cave.
"Oh, wow... That's so cool...!" I said excitedly.
"I thought you'd like it..." She said.
"I wanna check it out..." I said excitedly.
"Now, hold on... What part of these sealing runes aren't you getting?" She asked. Despite what she said I tried moving forward anyway. I shook my hoof waiting for it to hit the barrier. An inch at a time, but before I knew it, I had made decent progress. "I don't think it's affecting me." I said as I stepped in to the cave.
"Hold on... Dawn... Don't do something reckless." Said sprite.
"Don't worry... I just wanna check it out..." I said bravely. "It'll be fine."
"Seriously dawn...get back here..." Said sprite trying to get in, but being held back by the barrier. I took a step into the cave, and as I did the darkness of the cave slowly started to fade as a faint glow emitted around the entire cave. Just like on the entrance of the cave, symbols etched all over the walls started to appear and glow with faint white light, making the whole cave visible.
"Look... It wants me to go in... It'll be fine. You said that there wasn't anything living in the cave..." I said. I made my way deeper into the cave.
"Dawn get back here..." Said sprite in a worried voice.
"Don't worry sprite... Seriously... It'll be fine." I said. With that said I turned around and started to trot through the cave to get out of her sight. Her voice grew faint and soon was gone as she was now out of sight behind one of the bends. Once I was in the clear I started to walk down along the cave. I looked around and the symbols covered the walls. Soon not just them, but large glowing crystals jetting out of the walls glowed with the same light. I couldn't keep a smile off my face as I walked down the cave. This is so cool; this is my first time seeing something like this. I made my way around until the cave came to a straight away and at the end was some kind of door. I walked up to the door and looked at it. It was a set of thick looking metal doors, double doors. There were intricate designs around a main design of a sword with wings. The sword laid in the center and would split if the door were to open, and each door had a wing on it attached to the sword which folded down beside them. I put my hoof on the door and knocked on it, knowing that the chances somebody would answer were impossibly small. From the feel and sound of the door, it was a very thick metal door.
I wanted to know what was on the other side of these doors, but sprite is going to get mad at me if I stay here too long, I don't want to worry her. Plus it looks like I'll never be able to open these doors with the strength I have. I want to become a hero like my father, but as I am now! I'll never catch up with him. I looked at the doors, then back down the cave, and I let out a sigh. I turned around and made my way away from the doors. I half expected them to just somehow open up behind me, and I kinda wanted them to, but they didn't, and I kept moving back through the cave. It wasn't long before I was in view of the exit again, and sprite was waiting there. I could feel the relief on her. I ran down the rest of the cave and rushed out to see her.
"God...don't scare me like that!" She said shoving me lightly as I came out.
"Sorry...but look, I'm fine... See... It's just a cave... But you won't believe what I saw in there." I said.
"What...treasure or something?" She asked.
"No there was a pair of doors at the end... They were huge iron doors..." I said. "I'd never be able to open them... But I wonder what's on the other side of them."
"Who knows...?" Said sprite letting out a sigh as we made our way back through the forest and back onto the path to ponyville through sprites grove.
"Maybe there's a huge treasure there... Or some kind of sword with amazing magical power... A gem of immortality!" I said getting very excited. The thought of adventure always excites me... Even as a child I was very adventurous. I read all of the daring doo books, and loved to play around and make toy swords and such and have playful fights with my sister and other friends I made in school.
"Don't get your hopes up too high..." She said. "The chances you ever open those doors is pretty much zero. In fact the only way you probably got past that barrier was because there was no way you could open those doors."
"I thought we were friends..." I said. She just smiled and shoved me playfully. We just smiled and laughed together.
"Don't worry... We are... You know I still believe in you." She said. "There's no doubt in my mind that you'll grow up to be as strong as your father."
"I want to believe that... But I'm not making much progress." I said. "The only thing I've got going for me is my magic ability." I said hanging my head. "Because of my father all of these ponies have these high expectations of me, but it's proving to be hard to live up to."
"You'll be fine... Don't worry." Said sprite.
"Is that the only thing you know how to say?" I asked.
"You don't have to live up to everyponies expectations so early... Give it some time, train and get strong. Don't go rushing into stuff that'll get you killed... I'm sure it's what your father wouldn't want."
"I know..." I said as we walked out of sprites grove and walked into the park. We walked out into park and made our way through the open park for a while, before somepony had interrupted us.
"Heeeyyy..." Said a very familiar voice from up above. I looked up to see my big sister scootaloo. She was sitting up on a cloud above. She leapt off the cloud and flew down to meet us at ground level. She dropped down in front of us and smiled. "Hey sis..." She said placing her hoof on my head and messing up my hair.
"Hey don't do that..." I said fixing my hair. "Why are you here anyway?" I asked. "Shouldn't you be in college or something?" I asked.
"Nope... I just got out for summer..." She said smiling.
"Speaking of college... When are you gonna go?" Asked sprite. "You just graduated from high school a couple weeks ago... What college are you thinking of going to?"
"I'm gonna go to the hero's academy in Canterlot!" I said. Scootaloo just started to chuckle to herself.
"Don't make me laugh..." She said even though she was doing so anyway. "C'mon... I know you want to be like dad... But maybe you should take it slowly...you need to be strong to get in there." She said.
"I am strong..." I said. I was getting a little mad because she was teasing me. So I used the new magic I learned to shoot a stream of water from the pond next to us into scoot's face.
"Ack... Hey..." She said her head now drenched in water. Seeing that made me a little happy and I giggled. "So you can splash around a little water..." She said. "That's still not enough..."
"But that's where ponies with talent go to get strong..." I said. "If I can use magic, and because of who our father was, I'm sure they'll let me in."
"Geez... You really do want to be just like dad don't you...?" She said letting out a sigh. "You've even got the fur and the blue eyes to go with him... Even your cutie mark is just like his..." She said gesturing to my cutie mark which was a cross with a sun rising behind it.
"That just means I'll be as strong as him..." I said in defense. She just shook her head and then smiled at me.
"I'm sure you will..." She said rubbing my head and messing up my hair again. She let go and I quickly fixed my hair once more. "I've got to go meet with my old friends..." She said smiling. "I'll be sure to visit for dinner tonight." And with that she spread her wings and flew high up into the air and was gone into the sky.
"You're lucky that you've got such a caring sister..." Said sprite.
"Caring?" I asked.
"She may not seem like it... But she does care... She just can't say it out loud... But she cares."
"Yeah...that's what my mom says too..." I said.
"But in all seriousness...what are you going to do now... You're an adult now... And a very beautiful mare..." She said making me blush. Then she got a strange smile on her face and leaned against me.
"Sprite you're scaring me..." I said.
"So... Is there anypony special in your life?" She said seductively.
"Sprite...please don't do this..." I said. "You know that there's no guy in my life right now..." I said pushing her off of me.
"So does that mean you swing the other way?" She asked.
"No! I don't swing the other way!" I shouted back at her, surprised she would say something like that. "I'm as straight at the next mare..."
"Unless that next mare is your sister." Said sprite.
"It's not..." I said in defense. It's true though, my sister scoots is a raging lesbian. She takes no shame in it, and doesn't hide it at all. But it is kind of obvious, with her face piercings and such. She's got a ring on her lip, two studs above her left eye and a bunch of stuff on her ears. She cut her hair short a long time ago, and she's already gone through three mares... She's on her fourth. She's a great sister...sometimes... But her life is a bit...wild. Mother doesn't kind... I don't mind, but I'm just glad she doesn't bring other ponies home with her.
"You know I'm just kidding..." Said sprite.
"I'm not going to turn into my sister... Besides, you know she isn't really related to me." I said. She is adopted, but we don't talk about that as a family, she's just as much as my father's daughter as I am.
"I know I know..." Said sprite. "C'mon... I'm hungry, let's go get some food." She said spreading her wings and taking off into the air.
"Hey wait..." I said taking off after her. She flew through the air and did some tricks, leaving a trial of fire behind her. I flew up to her and she smiled. I couldn't help but just smile back as we flew through the sky together. Sprite is my best friend and she takes care of me, and I love her like she's a sister. I know she means well when she tried to keep me from doing dangerous and stupid stuff, but I'm determined to be just like my father some day. I am going to get into the hero's academy and I'll train to be the greatest hero in Equestria. I'll travel to foreign lands, defeat powerful enemies, and help everypony in meet along the way. I'm determined to do this and there's nothing in this world that can stop me.
I'm going to be just like my father...
