Now, The Forbidden Magic

After looking at the ordinary books in the chamber, Starlight Glimmer turned her attention to the books that are locked up now. "I wonder what these are all about?" Starlight Glimmer said, deciding to do something about these books.

"First," Starlight Glimmer groaned as she started to use her magic to break the locks apart. After a second or two, the locks disintegrated and the books were released. "Now let's look," Starlight Glimmer said as she picked up some of the books and started reading.

It took Starlight Glimmer a few minutes to look through the first couple of pages. "Wow," she thought, "There's a lot of interesting stuff here. No wonder they try and keep this stuff locked up."

So, for the rest of the day, Starlight Glimmer read all of these forbidden books. But not only that, after reading some of the books, she began to do something odd with her magic. "Well," Starlight Glimmer thought, "My cutie mark, my terrible cutie mark is magic, so-"

Reciting some of the written words from one book, something strange was going on with her magic. "This is weird," Starlight Glimmer thought as she felt a tingling sensation through her body and not just her horn.

After that weird event, when it was nighttime, Starlight Glimmer fell asleep.

The following day, Starlight Glimmer walked out of the chamber/cave and into the daylight. "Whoa!" Starlight Glimmer groaned as her eyes adjusted to the light of the sun, which she hasn't seen in what appears to be a long time now, "I need to think about what to do. About this light."

Just as Starlight Glimmer was about to leave to get something to eat, another pony ran into her. "Oh!" both ponies cried. "Watch where you're going!" Starlight Glimmer shouted at this pony. "What?" the pony replied, "Who are you?" "I'm Starlight Glimmer!" Starlight Glimmer shouted.

"I think I'm Mountain Moron," the pony, who is Mountain Moron answered. "Then maybe that is your name!" Starlight Glimmer yelled, "Watch where you're going!" "What did you say?" Mountain Moron asked, stupidly, of course.

"I said watch out!" Starlight Glimmer shouted, this time there was a powerful flash of light emitting from her horn. And thus, there was a moment of silence. "So what happened?" Mountain Moron asked.

At first, Starlight Glimmer was going to answer the question, until she noticed something floating in the air, the pony's cutie mark. "Wha?" Starlight Glimmer thought, "This looks like that cutie mark from that stupid pony."

"Ok," Mountain Moron said in a normal voice, "This is an odd experience." At first, Starlight Glimmer was confused about the pony's tone, until she realized what is going on. "One of those spells," she thought, "From one of those forbidden books. It must have done something to my magic."

Then something else appeared on Mountain Moron's flank. "Oh," Mountain Moron replied, "Change." Starlight Glimmer immediately realized what is going on. "I can manipulate other ponies' cutie marks," she declared, "That's why those books were locked up." Starlight Glimmer was relieved.

After a few seconds, Starlight Glimmer gave Mountain Moron his normal cutie mark and ran off excitedly. "What did you say?" Mountain Moron asked, but got no answer.

And so, after Starlight Glimmer got some food for herself, she did some of her regular activities out in the nearby woods.

Later, it became nightfall and thus, Starlight Glimmer returned to the forbidden chamber to rest for the night. However, by the end of that day, Starlight Glimmer came up with an idea. It was a very sinister idea.
