The Arcane Circles were under my control. It hadn't taken too long to test the 'connected to willpower' theory and after some practice, I could get a Support Circle in only a few seconds. Kinetic Circles did more damage the longer I held them before releasing, but holding them was exhausting. Unfortunately, the Support Circle and the Kinetic Circle were the only Circles that I knew and I had no idea how to learn more.

After my medication had worn off, Celestia had explained a few things that had happened while I had been unconscious. There wasn't anything particularly interesting. Luckily for me I had missed out of 'Winter Wrap Up', another three word event that I hadn't heard of about cleaning up the one week winter without use of unicorn magic. There were many things I found stupid about this:

-First of all; why only ban unicorn magic? Pegasi could use their flight magic and earth ponies could use their herbalism and boosted strength magics, why aren't unicorns allowed their magic?

-Secondly; why have winter for only a week? It seemed pretty stupid to have it for such a short time.

-Finally; why force citizens to endure cold without purpose, then make them clean it up themselves? Well, the last one's probably just for kicks. Celestia seems pretty bored.

Tomorrow, there was the Best Young Fliers competition in Cloudsdale. Yet another three word thing! Celestia had offered me a place in the top box (the reason there was an extra seat in the first place was because Luna decided she didn't want to go), which I had accepted. She even taught me a spell to walk on clouds.

I had been staying in The Canterlot Castle for a few days, reading some books by Starswirl The Bearded. His stuff was pretty awesome but also incredibly dangerous, like the original Facial Hair spell that if not done to perfection made hair sprout from your butt. I was looking for information on a certain kind of magic that Celestia told me was in one of Starswirl's books. It was a kind of magic that wasn't commonly used nowadays, but for me it would be incredibly useful. I had learned to read and monologue at the same time, which was pretty good. The main trick to it is- Here it is! I found what I was looking for!

Transmutation Beta
Written By Former Arch-Mage, Starswirl The Bearded.

I should stop monologuing for now and read in more detail. Why do I need to explain this to myself? Why do I keep asking me that?!

I had finished reading the book and I was about to test the transmutation spell. I had a bagel on a table in front of me. I got into a casting stance and began the spell. The bagel glowed and floated into the air. It span around, faster and faster until I couldn't see it in its blur. I reached the climax of the spell (hee-hee!), causing colour to explode from the bagel. It slowed down and stopped glowing, lowering itself back onto the table in front of me. It had become a donut. The spell was a success.

There wasn't much else to do so I ate my donut and walked towards the carriage take-off-point-thingy. I really have no idea what that's called...

By Realta, this is boring! We were at the Best Young Fliers competition and everything shown so far was shit. The announcer was announcing stuff.

"...And now, for our final competitor of the day, contestant number fifteen!" Rainbitch slowly came out from behind cloud curtains. Oh great, I have to see that whorse perform. "Uh... And apparently contestant number four... " Rarity flew out from behind the curtains using insectoid wings (What the buck?), wearing a weird dress thing and more face-chemicals than usual. Classical music started playing as the two got to their performances.

Rarity started doing weird and awkward movements in the air while Rainbitch slalomed between cloud pillars. She crashed into one of them and ricocheted into the stadium/colosseum-thing's wall. Rarity continued her awkward, jerky movements.

Rainbitch made some clouds spin but lost control and sent one flying towards me and Celestia. I caught it with my magic and condensed it. Rarity hovered in placed and talked to herself before flying upward. Rainbitch also flew upward, but went much further before stopping.

Rarity yelled something incoherent and let sunlight shine through her bug wings. They caught alight and detonated into water. Shouldn't that be evaporated? I'm bored as buck and detonate makes it more entertaining. Fair enough.

Rarity started to fall but I caught her with magic, teleported her next to me and put her onto a Support Circle. She started talking and stuff but I was so bored that I just ignored her and went back to watching Rainbitch. From what I could see, she was trying to break the sound barrier. She failed and got flung back into the stadium, probably breaking some bones.

"How do you put up with this horse shit?" I asked Celestia.

"Well it's either this, paperwork, let the snobby plot-holes get snobby over being in my presence or sleep. Why? Do you have a better idea?"

"You could build a battle colosseum. Watch your subjects beat the crap out of each other." Celestia thought to herself for a bit.

"That's a pretty good idea actually. Although conspiracy morons will probably say that I'm copying the Bullgium colosseum..."

"Damn, that's a good point. Oh well. I'm gonna go take a dump. It'll be more entertaining than this at least." I cast the 'walking on cloud' spell on Rarity then left the top box to excrete some poop.

Author's Notes:

Writers block and problems in real life, yay!
Sorry for the shortness, wasn't really much to do for this chapter.
