hey, everybody, it's hopefully your favorite writer here with this months update! not typing as much as I would like due to things such as me doing driving school (very frightening to drive a car at 15 miles and hour) and even though I had a full 5 days out of the house and away from the Xbox which always seems to take my attention I could only seem to get myself to work on an old story I had written and absolutely loved to write a while back... but this time it won't hopefully be as rushed... and that story is Angel of Magic! hope you all enjoy the hopefully final rewrite of the story!
also due to some problems with what I was typing I would have 3 more chapters for Silent Singer... but I greatly disliked the way I was typing them after I typed them up and I lost a chapter for AOM, chapter 8 that is, and am currently finding it incredibly difficult to rewrite what I already typed up and due to the fact my laptop is crappy... don't expect my chapters to be as good with grammar as leaving the chapters on the site's save has caused a lot of problems for me... so until I get a job, which I am close to getting, my chapters will not be as well written outside of the editing I do to them that I notice as I type them.
so I'm going to announce that I am in need of an editor for my stories! would be good if they are able to improve upon the chapters I will be happy to give them the credit for doing so! so if you desire the job simply PM me to ask for it! you won't get much work to deal with unless I am out of the house so I would notify you!
although if I do get an editor then I would have to change how I upload so I would change it to for every 10 chapters my future editor does I would post them all together! well except for a few stories such as Derpy Sunrise, since the chapters are smaller and easier for me to work on grammar for, and the other being Angel Down, who I already have an editor for when I rewrite that story as well.
(wish I knew why i seem to use Angel alot in my story titles)
also, I once again decided to just post whatever I type up since now with a lot of things happening since once again I will say I won't be able to type as much as long as I am at home. although at the end of December ill be out of the house again for 5 days so ill be able to type a lot. let's just hope I'm not stuck on typing up a single story again. hope you all enjoy!
We stayed there in silence for several minutes before the Doctor spoke up. "a fact that you should know about this Mr. Dewain is that we don't have all the symptoms of this." my head shot up from the folder as I looked him directly in the eye. "when somepony was diagnosed with this they became reclusive to the point where others would forget about them. These symptoms are all we know at the moment... which is why I must ask you to come here once every two weeks for a checkup." I gave him a nod of confirmation as he gave me a sad smile. "I'm sorry to say but... there is a small chance that the magic within you could have stopped this disease from appearing if you didn't come to Equestria..." that's when a thought popped into my head as I quickly wrote down a question of mine.
How do I have magic anyway?
"there are many reasons one could gain magic with all but one of them being an extremely rare case. Knowing Equestria's past with rulers who used magic for large amounts of punishments there is a chance a unicorn was banished to your world and turned into a human as it has been deemed that ponies and humans cannot procreate a foal soon after your arrival as a safety measure." I gave him a nod. "but for your magic to be as strong as it is now being just awakened you must have had a very powerful ancestor who was truly skilled in magic... but even though you know you have magic you cannot use any of it." I tilted my head in confusion. He walked over to a whiteboard that was in the room and began to draw on it.
"think of it like this." he drew a heart in the center of the board. "this is your core which is connected to your entire body and this." he drew a circle around it in a blue marker. "is your magic. Do you see so far?"
I gave him a nod as he continued. "the Siren's Curse uses the magic of the victims body to stay alive as it continues to eat it away." he made a smaller circle before erasing the outer one. "you have a set amount of magic that you have once you have contracted this disease as it makes it nigh impossible to regenerate magic as it eats just enough where it regenerates extremely slowly. Say you use one percent when you have the disease a normal unicorn without it would get it back the next day after a good nights rest... but for those contracted, it would take a full week... but it fully depends on the strength of the ponies magic. Should you use up enough magic that you have not even a single drop left... and you have already read the result in the folder."
I drew him another question.
Could you figure out the strength of my magic?
He shook his head.
"no... using magic on you would aggravate the disease to make it even worse... which is why I have already requested for an item to be made for you that prevents magic from being used on you. Normally this would only be reserved for criminals but it can easily be made to do the opposite... its a privilege known to only be given to those who are certain for death..." he gave me a grimace. "everypony in our society knows what the ring and bracelet looks like as they are taught about it in school. It will be up to you should you decide to show somepony and will arrive here in 3 days but I suggest you come here in 4 to be sure." I nodded but before he could continue I began to write something to him as I remembered something that was told to me.
But aren't humans resistant to magic? I think I overheard princess Twilight talking about it.
He shook his head in response. "harmful magic maybe but healing magic would go straight through the resistance. The princesses themselves are trying to figure out why humans have this resistance. other then what I told you there's nothing else I can do for you." I gave him a thankful smile as I shook his hoof. " I wish you luck Mr. Dewain and I will see you in two weeks just after 1 in the afternoon. Should anything transpire simply come here and alert the secretary to immediately contact me."
giving him a nod I left the building with a copy of the papers he showed me folded away into my pants pocket. Putting my hands in my pocket I simply started to walk around the town as I began to think of what I was told. My entire life has been like this... do a massive thing that was a lot of fun only to be given something that's twice the size of it that's absolutely horrible. I thought back to the item I was going to be given to me. Considering that what he told me about the item being given to those who can't have magic used on them then there had to be quite a few diseases that couldn't allow magic to be used on them. Knowing how much I would put everybody in pain should I grow to attached to them and them to me... there was one simple solution.
Knowing my death was coming... I think I would prefer for them to all hate me or at least be neutral towards me... and that was going to be hard for me to do. My friends that played with me never forgot me when I stopped singing for them and with the growing friendship with Octavia and Vinyl. I also can't forget that Vinyl is a unicorn so I would have to be careful.
Something I will have to look into though is that even though I sang yesterday I didn't feel an urge to sing arise in my body at all since then. I simply sighed as I decided to stop thinking about the situation and to just get home before the two worried. Stopping where I was I looked around to find that I had ended up in the exact same place I was beaten. Looking over to where it happened I remembered a few things... something about humans being naturally resistant to magic. If that was so then wouldn't I not need the item? Or was it just a safety precaution? I shook my head as I already agreed with myself to stop thinking about it.
Walking away from the spot I quickly made my way to my now temporary home before walking in to find Vinyl snoring on the couch. Giving a small chuckle I quietly made my way into the kitchen and decided to make some tea... only to start to cough again once I finished starting it up to start. After a few coughs I pulled my hand away from my mouth and quickly washed my hand of my own blood as I heard movement in the living room and I was glad I did as Vinyl walked in rubbing a hoof over her right eye. "you all good bro?" she asked. "you were coughing pretty hard from what I heard." I gave her a nod as she gave a long yawn. "well then I'm going to go get into an actual bed... later..." I chuckled again as she stumbled out of the doorway as if she was drunk and I watched her walk up the stairs to make sure she got all the way up. After she was out of my sight I walked back into the kitchen and waited for the water to boil as the thoughts of my previous plan to get them all to not want to stay friends with me get thrown out of the park.
Once the tea was done I walked into the living room and simply decided to calm my own nerves knowing I was going to die in the end by writing a song. Pulling out my songbook I pulled out a pen... and simply began to write as I drank tea which helped my throat after the coughing fit I had earlier. I must have been there for hours as soon it was time for dinner which was a salad. "your going to be home by yourself tonight Alex." Vinyl told me as I looked confused as Octavia sighed which then I noticed the victorious look on Vinyls face.
"I lost a bet to her that involved the loser having to sit through the others entire performance without any interruptions..." I gave a small chuckle as she refused to speak for the rest of dinner as I simply listened to what Vinyl was saying about how she was going to make tonight her best performance ever. When she kept trying to get Octavia to cheer up she simply glared as Vinyl retreated for a moment... before going on talking about her performance and then once again trying to get her to cheer up. I left the kitchen as soon as I was finished with dinner as I walked into the living room and simply started to put all of my stuff away as I began to get the couch ready for sleep tonight.
Not long after I finished both Vinyl and Octavia left with Vinyl dragging Octavia hilariously out the door. As I watched them disappear from the window. Smiling I walked over and laid down on the couch as thoughts of what had happened at the doctors flowed through my head once again. From what the information showed that I would have 5 years for my own death... but how was that possible if it all relied on if I was singing or not? I would have to ask when I next saw the doctor.
Even though I lied down onto the couch... I couldn't fall asleep with all of this going through my head. I needed to figure out a way to help me be able to sleep... so I came up with something that could help me yet would be a problem should anyone find it in the future. Sitting up and turning on the lamp I pulled out my final empty notebook and simply decided to write Death Journal in Latin on the front... before opening the first page and beginning the journal that would be written from when I was told about my disease...
to the certain death day of my very life.
