"Thousands of years of traditon. I wonder why my great ancestors must think of my actions?" Thunderhooves wondered to himself out-loud as he watched the rebellious members from his tribe led away in chains by ponies.

He was getting old. In a few years he would no longer be able to carry on the great run like traditionally and his daughter would have to take his place as Chieft.

"Striking a balance between tradition and progress has always been a tricky thing to deal with. I myself am a thousand years behind the social and political workings of the modern era and each day is a new experience for me." The princess of the moon mused. To think she would be standing next to and conversing with a Buffalo. Such a thing would not have been possible a thousand years ago.

"New experiences lead to new perspectives. I wonder how many experiences my people avoided for the sake of staying to tradition."

Dusk who stood a ways away making sure to keep an optimal distance away from the Princess to act as both guard and tokeep a respectable distance fought the trembling of a snicker. From what she understand it was the tasting of the apple pies that the Buffalo were splattered with that helped this particular tribe to come around.

How or why pies were involved with defending an invasion she didn't know. She tends not to ask further of such incidents when the Element of Laughter's name came up.

"Could you induldge in my curiosity great chief? While I know of the pony's fear of Nightmare Moon and the reasons behind it, I am curious as to what calamities befell your citizens during the past Millennium." Longhorn's words were still fresh in her mind about being a monster. He spoke with contempt and personal hatred, not the fear and cautious of those who only know of Nightmare from the legends spoke of.

"There were legends! Legends of how the specter tormentd our ancestors with storms! Of illnesses and plagues that dried up the food during our running routes. "

Dusk intently listened in as the Chief went over the many disasters that befell their people. It just seemed like a long list of terrible things that happened and was being blamed on the princess.

Was it any wonder the princess had a trouble time building up a positive image of just random bad occurrences were going to be blamed on her? One could only hope in time that public opinion will finally begin to change.

Twilight and Naruto had moved to the table littered with literature to continue Magic's findings.

After giving her thoughts and suggestions about Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy, Twilight went to the next name on her list. "And Rainbow seems to have the ability to inspire others! To invoke courage in them! Which is why she makes an effective captain of the weather team."

"If our powers do tie into our personality and our virtue then there is a possible that her power of Courage will strengthens the beliefs.”

"I still have much research in regards to studying Rainbow's passive ability. " Putting all the research back neatly into Rainbow' profile she pulled out the next one. "Now Rarity's is an interesting case. Her ability for detail is amazing and her ability to do and factor maths is incredible. I tested her by giving her mathematical problems like high number square roots to solve and she was able to solve them in a matter of seconds. "

"Do you think Rarity's gift for detail and calculations might be linked to money which is linked to her nature of being generous?"

"Its what I'm thinking. If we are concluding that our natures and even the jobs we have taken in life that are influenced by our gifts then there is a strong possibility to assume Rarity will further develop her talent to pinpoint things accurately."

Well that left the next person in their group. "So next is Applejack?"

"Whose talent is essentially the most straight forward to define. She is essentially a truth sayer. She can detect lies verbally and or through gestures as well. Its difficult to decipher what is a harmony talent and what Applejack has developed naturally overtime as hardworking and determination are commonplace traits within her clan. "

"When it comes down to it if you really want more data you got to give it time for everypony's abilities to develop a bit more. Maybe ask them to actively exercise them. Like for instance the only ability I can for sure attribute to empathy is the ability feel the full spectrum of emotions in my base form. Usually I would have to transform into a higher state to feel the emotions of others and it was usually restricted to evil intent."

Almost immediately a quill was summoned and the rapid scratching of the writing end against the paper as Twilight was rapidly recording the data. He hadn't expected that his research was going to turn into a session based around research, but he pretty much already hit the limit of information he was going to find out for the time being.

As Celestia watched Trixie continue to flex her magic she couldn't help but think back to how training Trixie had begun.

Celestia had given it a few days, considering Trixie's past as a performer meant she was used to staying up all night and sleep from early morning to afternoon. It also gave Trixie time to get used to the staff and the castle.

For the area to which they would train Celestia kindly dismissed every single nonessential worker and shooed out all others who may have lingered. She did not want anything distracting Trixie from what she had planned.

“Now Trixie before we begin your lessons is there a method of teaching you excel under?" Celestia asked the unicorn who seem to nervously flitter under her gaze.

She glanced around and noticed an assortment of objects. Boulders. Statues. Carriage parts. There was a few stands as well with plates with tiny objects such as needles and bits.

"Well princess I prefer to learn by doing. Spending hours reading books never appealed to me."

Celestia let out a soft 'ah'. So she was the opposite of Twilight in that regard. She had a suspicion from what she knew of Trixie's personality and glad she guessed correctly."

Using her telekinesis, Celestia brought forth one of the various odd additions to the garden. That of a large slab of marble.

"Trixie I would like you to carry this slab of marble to both sides of the courtyard then return to this spot."

"Right." Trixie fought the gut reaction to gape at the princess's task, but did not want to appear ungrateful at this opportunity.

Trixie had potential. She would be a powerful ally and warrior to Equestria, but only under the right circumstances.

Celestia watched with interest as Trixie began to levitate the object as she concentrated. She took of how Trixie tried to save face.

Trixie made it three-hundred feet before letting out an exhale and nearly dropping the item. Her horn glowed brightly as she focused on pushing herself to her limits.

"That is enough." Celestia took the object from Trixie's control as her own magic washed overs.

Trixie's panic, evident in her eyes was quickly assuaged by the princess.

"Do not worry Trixie. I was not expecting you to make the entire trip on your first try. I merely needed to see your levels of control and magic." When she had Trixie go over the spells she knew the Alicorn noticed that her illusions were not the most extensive power wise and power along with imagination were both very important in long range illusions. "One of the things we will be focusing on is increasing your power. Your finesses and flexibility is rather impressive though."

Trixie was relieved and proud at the praise along with a mixture of embarrassment. "Princess how long do you think it will take until I am able to do it?"

"It will take some time. How long depends entirely on you, but I assure you that you will soon be able to do things you never thought possible." Celestia remarked as she used her magic to ensnare all the objects and lifted them up effortlessly.

Just as quickly as she had lifted them, Celestia dropped them to the ground with a crash. She chuckled at that. "Might have overextended myself a bit."

This task of training her magic would just be one of the things Trixie will be doing dayly as part of her exercises to extend her magic.

The memory faded as Celestia watched as Trixie effortlessly levitated a majority of the objects and was able to make one full rotation sort of making it back to the center she started at. Trixie was making impressive progress. She wondered if maybe it was time to start measuring Trixie's potential against someone else? That got her thinking of Midnight who she had little interaction with, not that she blamed the filly. All and all it was something to consider talking to Luna about once she got back from the situation out south.
