“Your a wizard?!? Like Starswirl the Bearded! This is amazing! There hasn’t been another wizard in thousands of years! What type of magic can you do? How strong are you? How many spells do you know? What’s your favourite type of magic?” The purple one stared asking seemingly endless questions. She went on and on, in spite of the fact I clearly wasn’t listening. I turned to her friends with a raised brow. All of them shrugged, excepted for the cyan pegasus who was trying no to laugh out loud.

I just sigh and look to the still rambling unicorn and decide enough is enough. Quickly waving my are I cast, “Solid Script: Silent.” The words appear and before she could react the purple one was struck face first by it. She looked to me in worry and then to herself, only to find nothing wrong. She goes to ask what I did...only for nothing to come out. Her eyes widen and she tries yelling, stomping her foot. She even tried snapping her fingers, but she made no noise.

“Oh calm down.” I say, getting her attention. “I just cast a silence spell so you would shut up and stop asking question. You were giving me a headache.” I say rubbing my head. The unicorn smile and blushed sheepishly. I look to the others again. The pink and blue ones were on the ground laughing at the situation, the others just giggling.

“Well as much as I would love to continue this train wreck of an introduction, I think it would be best we get back to the orchard and grab what we can before going to town.” I tell the collected group to which all of them nodded. Before leaving I dismiss the enchantment on the cave and the silence spell on the unicorn.

“Oh yeah, what are your names anyways?” I ask as we walk back to the rainbow apple orchard. The white unicorn turns to me and answers.

“Well darling, my names is Rarity Belle, the purple unicorn you used the silence spell on is Twilight Sparkle, the blue pegasus is Rainbow Dash, you already met Pinkie Pie,” she was interrupted by the big red stallion coming up to us.

“Mah names Macintosh, most call me Big Mac, my sister over there is Applejack.” He says to me in a deep baritone voice. I am sure the dude gets all the mare with a voice like that. The others look to him in shock for some reason, I guess he is literally the strong silent types.

“Nice to meet all of you, my name is Alexandria Justine, but please just call me Lex.” I say to the group as we make it to the orchard. I go by the cart and see it is just as I left it. I turn to see Big Mac coming up and lift that barrel with one hand. My eyes widen at his strength, strong and silent is right! He puts the barrel back on the cart and the group leaves the orchard with me in the back to keep an eye out for more trouble.

After a few minutes, our large group make it to what looks like a large red barn, past it is a farm house and then a GIGANTIC freaking apple orchard. Seriously! The place looked like the orchard itself could house a whole town in terms of land mass! Looking around all I see are apple trees, evenly spaced apart, some with buckets underneath them. I jump from the sound of something hard hitting the ground. Turning I see Big Mac moving the buckets into the barn.

“Excuse me, Lex?” Looking down a bit, I see Applebloom looking to me, “do you wanna stay for lunch?” My answer came though the loud growl of my stomach. I forgot to eat breakfast for the con so...I blush and smile at her, Applebloom beams up to me and runs back to her grandmother.

I get a light tapping on my arm. Turning I see a butter yellow pegasus with a long flowing pink mane. She is wearing a long green jumper and a long pink skirt. She just stares at me with a shy and curious expression. I suddenly get a feeling of déjà vu from when I first met Nat. I just smile to her and slowly hold out my hand for her. She looks to me and slowly shakes my hand as well, all the while hiding behind her mane.

“Hey Fluttershy!” She lets out an ‘eep’ and we turn and look up as Rainbow Dash hovers over to us. The newly named Fluttershy seems to come out of her shell a bit at the presence of the blue mare.

“Oh, hello Rainbow Dash.” She says in a soft voice. I swear, she seems like a less confident Natali. “How are you and the other? Sorry I couldn’t come and help.” She says.

“Eh don’t worry about it Shy. But everypony is ok. The fight was over when we arrived.” Rainbow says, the yellow mare tilting her head in confusion.

“The fight was over? How? I thought it was just Applebloom and Granny who were there?” She asks in confusion. Rainbow smirks and carefully turns her friends head to look to me, Fluttershy just now noticing my sword. She looks back and forth between me, my sword and Rainbow, before we both nod.

She didn’t get a chance to ask any question before AppleJack shouted out. “Foods ready everypony!” At that all of us went to a set of picnic benches to eat. Looking at the spread, it seems that every food item has something to do with apple, though that shouldn’t have been all that surprising. After everyone is at the table each of us begin to fill our plates and eat.

Holy Crap! Who knew this many things made of apples would taste this good. Though it is delicious, I don’t wanna be rude by just stuffing my face. Though that didn’t stop Pinkie and Rainbow from shovelling their food into their mouths.

“You two might wanna slow down there. Your going to get sick.” I tell them, the two mare looking at me like I grew a second head before continuing to stuff their faces silly. I just sigh and go back to eating my apple casserole and apple pizza slice. I notice out of the corner of my eye, Twilight biting her thumb and looking at me. I just sigh and turn to her. “Alright, you can ask some question, just not any that are inappropriate or I don’t wanna answer.” I tell her.

She smiles and takes out a scroll that is likely full of question and begins to cross some out. I just wait for a bit, the others also interested in her question.

“Ok, first question, what magic do you use?” She asks with a note pad and quill at the ready. I just sigh and take out the three scrolls I have.

“I use four different types of magic. They are all writing based but are technically different to one another. Solid Script magic: I use my magic to write certain words into the air and they become what is written. You have seen me use fire and silent already.” The group nods, Twilight writing everything down. “The second is the eastern version of Solid Script magic: it is like the normal one but uses Japanese symbols or Kanitkata for the attacks. Roar, Slice, Fall etc.”

“The last magic I practice is the most complex. Enchantments and Dark Ecriture. My enchantment are long and complex, making them rather difficult to use in the middle of battle, but they are powerful. The rules of the enchantments are absolute, so the only way to get past them is to follow the rules or rewrite the enchantment, which can be difficult depending on the complexity of said enchantments. Dark Ecriture is like the previous style but it focuses on the more negative words. Mist, Darkness, Absolute Shadow, Pain...” I pause and think about telling them about the most dangerous one. But choose not to.

“Also wings oddly enough.” I say. After I say that Rainbow Dash is in my face, her rose eyes staring right at my brown ones.

“You mean you can grow wings and fly?!?” She asks brashly to which I calmly nod and stand up. Walking back a few steps away from the group and take my sword out. The other gasp as my eye turns dark and begin to shiver slightly as I wave my Rapier.

“Dark Ecriture: Wings!” The letters again appear on my back and my wings sprout out. The others jaws hit the table as I begin to fly up into the air. Rainbow and Fluttershy soon join me in the air and inspect my wings in shock. The others just look to the three of us in the air. I go down to the ground and smirk at all the faces.

“This is amazing!” Twilight shouts abruptly. The others agree with her, all of them still looking to me in shock for my magical abilities. I look to the group and see Pinkie with her hand up and a large smile on her face. “Yes Pinkie?”

“How old are you and when is your Birthday?” She asks quickly with her own notepad that she pulled from her poofy mane. No joke.

“I am 22 and my birthday is September 15th.” She writes this down as everyone looks to me in surprise yet again. I look back to them with a raised brow. “What?”

“Your older than everypony here aside from Big Mac and Granny Smith! How are you that old yet that short?!?” Rainbow asks. I realize I haven’t actually asked their ages and all of them are around five foot eight. I just shrug to them before answering.

“Dunno. Bad gene lottery. My dads great grandparents were shorter than me at their prime so it ended up skipping a couple of generation. I just happened to be the one to receive that luck of the draw. But as a wise man once said, ‘size matters not’.” I tell them, the group understanding my position on my height.

I look and see that Fluttershy has her hand raised slightly, hiding behind her mane when she sees me looking at her. I just nod to her saying she can ask next.

“Umm. I hope you don’t mind me asking but, what are you exactly?” She asks shyly, still hiding behind her mane. I learned from being friends with Nat that people like her not to pressure her and let her be the one to instigate.

“I am a human, scientific name Homo Sapien. We are a race of being evolved from apes a few million years ago. We are also omnivore and can’t eat things like flowers, grass, hay, thing like that.” I tell her, pointing to some of the things on the table I haven’t touched like a daisy and tulip salad. She nods and writes it all down on her own note pad.

“Why did you help us?” I turn and see it is Applebloom who asked the question, a curious expression on her tilted head.

“Why wouldn’t I? I could tell just from the damages and the tracks that someone was in trouble, and I have a bad habit of making other people problems my problems as well.” I tell her, the rest of the ponies nodding their heads. After that I notice that we actually finished almost all the food. “Hey, how about we clean up?” The others look at what remains of the spread and nod.

Each of us take some plates and bowls back inside, me, Twilight and Applebloom cleaning the dishes themselves. After about an hour the apple family has to get back to their chores and work so I go with the other into town. We just talk to one another about random fact, me leaning this country is called Equestria and I am in Ponyville, the place is ruled by two sisters who control the sun and moon, and that the girls are national heroines call the Elements.

“Jeez, this place sounds all sorts of awesome. Is there a library nearby that I could use for research?” I ask the girls, Twilight immediately turning to me with a smile.

“Yes actually. Believe it or not, but the Golden Oaks library is also mine and Spikes house after we moved here.” She says to me as we walk into the town. The place is all sorts of colourful and I can see plenty of technicolored ponies walking around. Though some do send me wierd glances but I just ignore it.

“Spike? Who is that?” I ask Twilight as Pinkie breaks off to go to some bakery.

“Oh, he is my number one assistant/little brother/sorta son? He is a dragon I hatched during my entrance exam to Princess Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns.” She tell me, to which I stop and look to her in shock.

“A dragon!?! You have a dragon as an assistant!?!” I ask her, my face mere inched from hers. She just nods in confusion as a large grin breaks across my face. “Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go! I wanna meet a dragon!” I tell her in exitement, not caring at the snickering Rainbow Dash.

We walk for a few more minute before arriving at the library. I was shocked that it was actually made into a still living oak tree. Entering the building I see tons of books on display with a checkout book by the door. There is a doorway to a kitchen a basement entrance and some stairs leading upstairs.

Going past to the living room, I go up to a few of the shelves and look though them. Focusing on what I need, I find a few books on ancient Equestrian history, modern Equestrian events, Equestrian magic and a few other bits of information. I was so focused on getting the books I didn’t notice the girls conversations.

“Wow. Looks like you have competition for the best egghead award Twi.” Rainbow says to her friends looking at me. Twilight just looks at her pegasus friend and pouts to her.

“Very funny Rainbow. Maybe I should ask if Lex wants a live subject for testing some of her spells on.” Twilight says back, Rainbow snickering at her attempted threat.

“Well I must say, if she has the time I would love to see if she could make some designs with me. She did say she made her own outfit. Who knows what she could come up with.” Rarity says in anticipation. She looks over my outfit again, and takes note of my Fairy Tail emblem on my shoulder as I have my back turned to them.

“Twilight? Is that you?” A voice calls from upstairs.

“Yeah its me Spike! Rainbow, Fluttershy, and Rarity are here too. Why don’t you come down. There is someone here that wants to meet you.” Twilight calls up the stairs. A few second later a small purple lizard like person come running down. He was wearing a pair of green cargo shorts and a blue and yellow vest over a purple t-shirt.

“Really? Let me guess. There is someone new to town that hasn’t met a dragon before?” Spike asks. Twilight nods and points to me as I am getting all the books I need and carry them to the coffee table and take a seat on the couch.

Digging into my purse I pull out my three scrolls on my magic, my glasses and my phone with ear buds and get ready to read when I feel someone tapping my shoulder. Looking up I see it is Twilight standing next to some odd lizard kid.

“Lex this is Spike, the dragon I told you about.” She says, my eyes snapping back to the small drake. I get up and carefully look him over. He is about a foot shorter than me, his claws seem rather dull, almost like fingers. His tail is pointed yet not sharp and his spines are wavy. All in all, not very intimidating compared to some of the dragons I have seen in stories.

“Hi there! I’m Spike!” He says holding his claw out. I shake his claws and then turn back to my spot and see Rainbow looking though the books I took out and Rarity looking at my glasses.

“Wow! Are you seriously going to be reading all these books?” Rainbow asks, to which I just nod and she starts laughing. “Boring!” I just frown at her.

“Great your one of those ‘all brawn and no brains’ types of athletes aren’t you.” I say in exasperation, the other laughing at my come back to Dash’s comment. The chromatic pegasus just huff and puts the books down before lounging on another nearby couch.

“I must say Lex, these glasses of yours look just as unique as the rest of your outfit. I wonder, what is with this odd magical presence in them though?” She asks in curiosity.

“Oh. Those are my Wind Reader glasses. They are especially enchanted to let the wearer read and understand the contents of any written piece at ludicrous speeds.” I explain, all the girls looking to the glasses in amazement. I turn to Twilight and show her the scrolls. “How long do you guess it would take somepony to read through all the content in these scrolls?”

Twilight unrolls the scroll for enchantments and Dark Ecriture and freezes. She looks to the other two scrolls and again gains a shocked look. “I-incredible. These scrolls has so much information. It would take me days to read though and full comprehend the contents of these scrolls.” She says in awe, the others looking to her in surprise. I just smirk and pick up my glasses and put them on before pointing to them.

“Just over one hour.” I say, the others looking somewhat confused. “With these glasses I was able to read though those scrolls and gain all the info needed to perform their spells in just over one hour before I met all of you.” All of them look to me and then to my glasses and scrolls in shock. Twilights eye begins to twitch slightly and I notice some of her hair is fraying from the rest of her head. I feel a tapping on my arm and see Spike looking to Twilight in concern.

“I think you may have broken her.” He says worried for the unicorn. I quickly walk into the kitchen and get a glass of water before returning, taking my scrolls and splashing Twilight, the mare sputtering for a second before coming to her senses. I just chuckle at her befuddled expression. She take the scroll for eastern Solid Script and narrows her eyes in slight frustration.

“Something wrong Twilight?” I ask in confusion.

“I-I don’t understand it. Is there some kind of enchantment on the parchment making the word illegible?” She mutters to herself. I walk up and look past her seeing the problem.

“Your holding it upside down.” I deadpan, the unicorns eyes widening and she blushed in embarrassment. Quickly flipping the scroll around, she again gets a frustrated face. It takes a second before I think of what of what the problem could be. ”You don’t know how to read Japanese, do you?” I ask her.

“Japanese?” She asks tilting her head. I just facepalm at her.

“The reason you don’t understand the words on the scroll is because it is another language. Duh!” I tell her, Twilight looking to the scroll again. She then looks at me sheepishly for an answer.

“Well as fun as this egghead convention is, I have to go and take care of some business in the skies. See ya!” Rainbow says before flying out the door.

“Um, I have to go and check on my animals as well. I’ll see you all later.” Fluttershy excuses herself politely and walks out.

“Yes, I must return to the boutique and finish some of my orders. When you have a chance, feel free to stop by Lex. I could use some help think of new designs.” Rarity says before heading out leaving me, Twilight and Spike together. I walk to my spot on the couch again and prepare to read though the first book when I get an idea to help Twilight with the scrolls.

“Hey Twilight, Spike?” The duo turn to me. “How would you like me to teach you Japanese. You could use it to talk to each other about hints you don’t want others to know about and as an encrypting style for reports to the Princess.” I say, the duo looking to me in surprise and excitement.

“Really? You can teach us?” Spike and Twilight ask in unison. I just smile and nod before picking up my first out of the eight books I took out.

“Let me read though these books first and then I will start to teach you ok?” Twilight looks to me pleadingly.

“But it will take you days to read all-“ I cut her off by tapping my glasses, the purple mare remembering their function. “Oh yeah. Well ok, me and Spike can take care of a few things in the meantime.” She says, Spike going into the basement and coming back with a stack of new books.

With a plan in place I put my earbuds in and put my music on shuffle before picking up ‘Equestrian myths and legends Volume 1’ and beginning to read, the glasses activating almost immediately.

‘Here we go.’
