I head into the kitchen, grab a towel, a few small knifes, a mug of ice cold water and return to the living room. I stand next to Twilight, place the knifes on the table and then dump the water across her back.

Her eyes snap open and she shrieks as she leaps into the air. "COOOOOLLLD!" she yells then bounces off the couch. We all laugh while she glares at me.

"Why did you do that?" she demands.

"You did want to learn magic right? Or would you prefer to keep napping?" I ask with a light chuckle.

She frowns and grumbles. "Fine, but don't do that again! Ever!" she warns me. I tell them to wait while I get the book.

I remember about my wings, so I put the chest plate on, my wings appear and I grab the book and head back down.

I'm at the bottom of the stairs and speak up. "Luna can I ask you something?" I ask her. She looks from Twilight to me.

"What is it?... Oh my." She looks at my wings and then at me. "They should not look like that," she says more to herself than me.

"Guess that answered my question." I walk over and sit down on the couch, guess they dried it off while I was gone.

"Your wings should be pegasi wings," Luna says. She sits next to me and pulls on my right wing. "And they should be transparent and ethereal, not solid and physical!" She pokes my wing at the middle joint, I feel a twitch and my wing jerks back to me. "*Gasp* You shouldn't even feel anything from them!"

I give her a confused look. "Does this mean they could be dangerous?" I ask.

She shakes her head. "No, not from what I can see, have you tried flying yet?" She replies.

"Yes, I was able to fly for an hour before I got tired."

"What? An hour? The enchantment was meant to last a minute!" she says with surprise. I just shrug.

"While I was flying though, I felt my magicka slowly being drained and the gem flickered," I say as I tap said gem.

Twilight hums and looks at me. "Strange, it seems the gem is taking magic from the closest source... you," she says.

She then shakes her head. "But that's not possible, enchanted items don't work like that, they take magic from the air, not its wielder." Her brow furrows as she looks down in thought.

"Maybe it was that enchanting table I used for it," Luna says, she looks from Twilight to me. "It did make the magic fuse with the armour much stronger than normal."

"What table?" Twilight asks.

"Oh, an enchanting table from Farengar's world ended up here, we let Arcane Charm work with it and he found a way to use it without soul gems, It would seem we'll have to keep an eye on this table, the enchantments it could make, if the wrong kind of ponies got their hooves on it." She gets a grim look.

She shakes her head. "We'll worry about that later, right now let’s learn some magic!" Luna says. Twilight claps her hooves together in excitement.

Twilight stops suddenly and looks at Honour. "Wait, why is Armoured Honour here? He's not a unicorn." she says. I chuckle.

"Well, all races in Tamriel can learn magic, who's to say an earth pony can't learn it as well?"

Honour just chuckles. "We'll see, so what do I do first?" he asks.

"Okay, close your eyes and clear your mind, try to focus for a flow of energy or magicka within you," I tell him and show him the book. He frowns at the instructions and after a few minutes reading he begins to concentrate, we all wait for a few minutes as nothing seems to happen.

"I told you, only unicor... *gasp*... HIS HOOF IS GLOWING!" Twilight yells in surprise, Honour opens his eyes and sees a light grey glow around his right hoof.

His jaw drops as he examines it. "I don't believe it!" he exclaims.

Twilight looks at the book and tries to do the same, only for her horn to glow a lighter colour than normal.

"This feels different," Twilight says. "I can feel the magic flow freely and not restrained." Her eyes widen from the feeling.

"Okay then, next part." I take the book and flip to the healing spell. "Let's try a basic healing spell." I show the book to Twilight and she reads it, after about ten minutes she was done and I cut my arm with the small knife, Twilight cringes as I hold my arm out to her.

"Alright, I can do this," she says to herself and points her horn to my cut, after a good five minutes of grunting and grumbling from Twilight, the glow on her horn turns into a golden aura. I feel my arm tingle slightly as the cut very slowly heals.

After three minutes the cut closes and is healed leaving Twilight panting slightly. "Wow, that was tough, but it's much easier than our healing spells, not even I could learn them without years of practice," she says making me smile and look at Honour.

"Your turn," I say and pass him the book, he looks at the book and frowns. "This looks very confusing, just because I can make my hoof glow, which by the way is freaking me out, does not mean I can cast spells," he says. After a few minutes of reading he takes a knife, and cuts his left foreleg.

After five minutes of nothing he sighs. "Told you." he says and I shake my head.

"Don't worry about it, took me a day or two to cast it properly at first, just keep trying and you'll be able to do it eventually," I tell him. He just hums and resumes his attempts. I show Luna the spell and I cut my arm again.

She reads the spell and looks at my arm, her horn glows and my cut heals within seconds. "Well, that was quick," I say.

She giggles. "I've been using magic for hundreds of years, learning a few more types of magic is easy," she says.

"Impressive, how's it going Honour?" I see sweat roll down his brow as he frowns staring at his cut.

Just as he was about to give up, the light grey glow fluctuates a golden colour, the wound very slowly starts to heal. I notice Twilight looks on with wide eyes and jaw agape, I can see her eye twitching.

Honour grunts after seven minutes of healing the cut, once it's healed he gasps and falls on his back breathing heavily.

"You alright?" I ask him.

He waves a foreleg up and flops it back down, I chuckle and head into the kitchen. I get a tray with a few cups and a jug of apple juice.

I pass out the cups and we all take a drink, I then pass the book to Moonbeam who's been sitting silently the whole time awaiting her turn, she smiles and reads the spell. I once again cut my arm and hold it out to her, she stares at the cut, her tongue hanging out as she focuses.

Her horn glows its silvery white then turns to a golden aura and my wound slowly heals, after a minute it's healed.

Now Twilight looks shocked that Moonbeam did it better than her. "You know what? I'm not going to question it anymore." She just sighs and smiles.

A slight flash is seen coming from Moonbeam's flanks, I look to see a full moon with a pale golden glow around it with a golden beam of light shining downwards.

"*Gasp!* I HAVE MY CUITEMARK!" Moonbeam yells. She's hopping around the room overjoyed at her achievement.

Luna smiles as she watches. "Congratulations young one."

Twilight smiles and looks at me. "You'll have to set up a cute-ceañera for her now," she tells me. I stare at her dumbly.

"A what?" I ask her..

"A cute-ceañera. It's a party to congratulate a colt or filly for getting their cuite-mark," she tells me.

"Huh, so when do we do that?" I ask, Moonbeam is still bouncing around like she's had too much moon-sugar.

"In a few days, I'll talk to Pinkie about it tomorrow."

"Alright." Moonbeam runs up to me and hugs my right hip.

"Thank you, thank you thank you THANK YOU!" she repeats, I chuckle and ruffle her hair.

"So does this mean Moonbeam's talent is healing?" I ask.

Luna nods. "That would be the case it seems." She refills her cup and takes another drink.

I chuckle as she holds on tighter, I look outside and see the sun setting, Luna follows my gaze and gasps.

"Oh my stars it's late! I'm sorry but I have to go, same time tomorrow?" she asks.

"Sure, I'll try my hand at fire magic," I reply.

She smiles and kisses my cheek again, Twilight giggles as Luna disappears in a flash.

"I thought so, she really really likes you," she teases with a smirk.

Honour is back up and looking at me with a dumbstruck expression.

I look at him and just shrug, he shakes his head and stands up. "Well, as interesting as that was, I have to go, we got a review to attend to tomorrow," he tells me.

"Alright just remember, keep practising and you'll be healing wounds in no time!" I tell him and he chuckles.

"Still can't believe I can use magic, despite the fact it was exhausting," he replies, and with that, we say goodbye and he leaves.

Twilight walks to the door but she stops and looks up at me. "An earth pony using magic... This will change things... I just hope for the better." She smiles and walks out.

I yawn and say goodbye. Closing the door, I see Moonbeam staring at her mark with a smile.

"Alright you, off to bed." I say. She nodded and heads upstairs still with her smile.

I clean up the mess and wash the knifes, cups and jug. I then head to my room and remove the chest plate.

Lying on my bed, I slowly close my eyes and fall asleep.

Since I'm the only one here right now, I decide to see if there is anything here in the void, so I walk for a good ten minutes only to find nothing.

"What are you looking for lad?" a voice behind me asks.

Startled, I turn around to see an old man with a dark grey cane that has three heads with open mouths on the top, he's also wearing a multicoloured fancy outfit as well.

"Huh? Who are you?" I ask.

"Oh! How rude of me. *ahem* The names Sheogorath, Prince of Madness and ruler over the Shivering Isles! Pleased to meet you," he replies while leaning on his cane.

My eyes widen, a daedric prince? "Why are you here?" I ask cautiously.

He smiles. "Questions questions questions, why all the questions? Can't a guy just take a vacation now and then? Why must everything have a reason?" he says and looks around. "Then again this place is rather dull, AH! I know!" And with that, the land changes to a small ruin in a place I don't recognise.

"Welcome to my home! Well, my summer estate actually, I wanted to test you. You see, its come to my attention that you're the new loudmouth... Oh my apologies, I mean the Dragonborn." He laughs a bit. "So I just wanted to see what you're capable of," he says with a welcoming smile.

When he finishes, Luna appears next to me. "Ah hello, Fare... Where are we?" she asks looking around.

"My my, and who's this?" Sheogorath asks as he walks over to her. "A talking horse! Now I've seen everything." He pokes her a few times with his cane.

"Hey! Stop that this instant!" Luna yells and jumps back a bit. "I am Princess Luna, Princess of the night," she replies with a frown.

"Well it's a pleasure making your acquaintance my dear." He looks back at me. "So what do you say? Give it a go? If you manage to complete it, I'll even throw in a prize you can pick from." I frown in thought for a few seconds, I haven't got anything to lose by the sounds of it.

"Alright, what's the challenge?" I ask.

"Wonderful! All you have to do is get from here, to the exit at the end, oh and do be mindful of the estate staff, they're a little grumpy. If any give you trouble, just slap em around a bit! I do!" He chuckles and looks at Luna. "Would you like to accompany him Princess Moonbutt?"

"How dare you address me in such a manner! I'll have yo..." Before she could finish, a orb of light from his cane hits her. After a bright flash a suit of armour and a sword clatters to the floor.

"Well, she didn't have to take it so personally. Oh well, there's your gear for the challenge," he says and points to what I think is Luna. "She'll be your equipment until you reach the end. I see that look on your face lad, don't you worry, she'll return to normal once you reach the end," he tells me.

I sigh and walk over to Luna, as soon as I touch the armour, it's on me.

I can feel another presence in my mind, "Farengar? Can you hear me? What's going on? I can't feel anything! What did he do to me?" Luna asks in a panicked tone.

"It's okay, he turned you into a suit of armour and a sword, his name is Sheogorath, a deadric prince." I tell her in my mind.

"A daedric prince? Here in the Dreamscape? That's not possible! Only those I allow can come in here!" she tells me still panicky and confused.

"It would seem he can come and go as he pleases, the daedric princes and the divines have been around for thousands of years," I tell her.

"You two done with your little chat?" he asks. "Good! Now I'll be watching, oh and do make it entertaining." And with that, he turns into a pile of cheese wheels that roll away.

"I guess we have no choice but to do this," I tell her.

"I can't exit the Dreamscape, what ever he's done to me prevents me from using my magic!" Luna tells me.

I pick up the sword and head for the ruin doors. I open them slowly and peep inside, it's dark, I can make out a staircase going up and down, there's also a door in front of me.

"Now here's the rules!" I hear Sheogorath say. "You can pick any route or door, all routes lead to the exit, some are pleasant... others, not so much." He chuckles. "You can use anything you find to get through, you try to break through a door or wall, well, let's just say you'll not have a good time." He said rather darkly at the end.

His mood instantly changes. "Alrighty then, have fun and don't forget! Make it entertaining!" And with that, it's silent again.

"I don't like this, he seems very unstable, he reminds me of Discord," Luna says.

"Discord?" I ask her.

"The spirit of chaos, he's currently sealed in stone though," she replies.

"Alright, let's just get through this," I say.

I walk forward towards the stairs leading up, at the top is an argonian servant, he's just sweeping the floor so I walk over to him.

He turns to look at me, but his eyes look crazed, he screams and starts swinging the broom at me.

I react and swing my sword at him, taking his head instantly. I hear Luna grunt from the impact.

"Luna are you okay?" I ask her.

"Yes, yes I'm fine, seems I can still feel things." She sighs and tells me to continue onwards.

I head down the hall passing tables, bookshelves and potted plants. I reach a door at the end and open it.

Two howls are heard as I enter the room, two very large wolves are staring at me from the middle of the room, I raise my sword as they both leap at me.

I bring the sword down again and split one of the wolves heads open, the other one bites down into my shoulder.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" Luna screams out in pain, I didn't feel a thing. I quickly grab the wolf by the back of its neck and pull it off, I put it into a head lock, snap its neck and drop its limp body.

"Luna! Are you alright?" I ask concerned.

"I don't know, that was really painful," she replies. I look to the pauldron but there's no marks.

"I don't see any damage, I'll be more careful from now on though," I tell her.

"No, if there's no damage then it's alright, if I have to take a bit of pain to protect you, then I'll gladly do it," she replies.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, now keep going, the sooner you get there the faster this will end."

I agree and move on, there's two doors at the back of the room, Luna suggests the left door.

I open and pass through the door, and instantly regret it. There's a giant sitting next to a dead sabercat with blood stained hands as he eats it.

The door closes with a thud, the giant turns to me with eyes glowing red and he stands up over twice my height.

"By the moon, it's huge!" Luna exclaims, I just gulp and get ready for the fight.

The Giant swings his log club at me, I flap my wings and jump left, the club slams on the floor with a mild quake.

"Please be careful, if that hits, it's really going to hurt!" Luna says.

The giant lifts his club and shambles towards me. Thinking fast, I throw my sword at it, the blade clips his shoulder and flies past it, I cast a telekinesis spell on the sword and pull it back, the blade sinks into his back and he roars in pain.

He throws his club at me and it hits me straight in my chest. "AAAAAAAAHH!" Luna again screams in pain as I fall flat on my back.

A mild quake is felt as the giant falls dead onto the ground, Luna groans from the lingering pain as I stand up.

"Oooh, it’s been over a thousand years since I've felt pain like this," Luna comments.

"I'm sorry, I did not expect that," I apologize.

"It's alright, I'm fine now, just keep moving, you make the decisions from now on," she says.

I'm now back up and look around, there's a pouch on the giants belt and inside is two greater healing potions, a lock pick and a magicka potion.

After taking the pouch, I remove the sword from its back and head for a set of stairs heading down.

I reach the bottom and find two doors, I look between the two of them trying to decide which one to go through.
