The sun rose and I awoke just at the right time, it wasn’t too early, and it wasn’t too late. I felt completely different then I had when waking up back on Earth, it felt right. I went into the bathroom, which had been quickly modified to be more fitting for a human.

I turned on the water and made it as hot as my body before stepping in. I let the water run down my body, washing away any troubles and doubts I had about my old life. For today marked the start of a new beginning to my life, a new chapter that has been long awaited. I stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my waist and looked in the mirror.

I had put on my glasses after getting out of the shower, but something was off. My glasses weren't improving my vision like they should have been doing. Instead they blurred everything, I removed them to wash them in the sink, but I noticed that my vision had improved.

‘It is because of the draconic blood you have,’ the voice was back.

“You! What are doing here?!” I asked the voice in my head, thinking it was in the room with me this time.

‘Just giving you some answers. You eyesight has been greatly enhanced since you have awoken your powers, young Prince.’ The voice said giving a slight snicker as it faded again.

“What the hell is with this voice?” I questioned myself.

That could be answered later, so I pushed it out of my mind and continued on. I walked from the shower into my room to find several sets of clothes just beside my door. They had a note attached to them as well...

Brother,

Here are some more clothes for you. Go down to the Feasting Hall and you will be tended to properly. Luna and myself have our duties to attend to so you may not see us until supper. Have the day to do as you please, just remember to stay inside the castle.

I looked down at the clothes and back to the note. Then I realized I truly had nothing to do until my training began the following week.

“I could always get a head start on the books,” I said to myself, then chuckled, “I am starting to act like Twilight would.”

I gathered up the clothes and put them away in the dresser in the far end of room. I had been given a custom pair of shoes to wear after I had left the Hospital the other day.

I got dressed in a simple red t-shirt with black lines going down the sides. A pair of light blue jeans and my black and electric blue shoes. I was escorted down to the Feasting Hall and was waited on hand and hoof as my food was brought in front of me. I tried to tell them to stop, but they just refused to let me do anything on my own.

“That’s going to have to change sooner a later,” I said to myself.

Once I was given a moment alone, I enjoyed my food thinking about Octavia’s condition.

Vinly was curled in the far corner of her room, sobbing. Her sobbing was dry for she had no more tears to give after crying in her sleep the night before. She held a pillow close to her, her shades were on the nightstand next to the bed.

All that came to mind was that night. The night, she tried so hard to forget everything about that night. Yet it always came back with a vengeance, getting worse and worse each time. Yet something at the back of her mind always came into view before the nightmares ended, a tall dark figure came in, killing off the stallions.
'Who was that?' She thought to herself.

After I had finished my meal, I made my way to the hospital to check on Octavia. I was greeted by everypony I walked by, I either gave them a nod or said hello in response. It didn’t take as long as I would have thought to locate the hospital again, but it seemed like more of my memory was returning. Before I knew it I had made it to my destination.

Octavia hadn't been faring any better since the day before. She still lay there broken and unconscious. I sat by her side praying that she would be okay. It took me a short while before I looked over into Vinyls room and saw it was empty.

“She must have been released,” I said to myself.

I had no idea where she could have been taken. Had she gone back to Ponyville or if Celestia kept them here for questioning, buck if I know.

But this is how the week went on: Discord would travel to the hospital to try and heal Octavia the same way he had the first time around, but it showed little to no process of helping. Vinyl remained locked in her chambers by choice only opening the door to receive food, water, clean towels, and other things of that nature. I relaxed for most of the week, reading the books on the many shelves in the room. Nothing factual, so fiction for the most part. And whenever I got the chance to, I would visit Octavia.

This routine became rather boring by the end of the week, but that wouldn’t last much longer as my magic training was to begin.

It was a brand new day, a Monday to be precise. I would have never liked waking up on a Monday, but since I was in the land I have always wanted to be in, it didn’t bother me.

I took a shower, got dressed, and went to the Feasting Hall and consumed my morning meal. Just as I was finishing up, I was handed a letter from on of the servants. I opened it was from Celestia saying to meet her in the training room a few floor down. There were escorts waiting for me outside of the Feasting Hall.

As we made our way down to the training room they escorted me to in front of the door before they bowed and left. When I opened the door, I was greeted by what looked to be an exact replica of the throne room. One difference though...it was completely empty, except for the few places that looked like they could be used for...

“Think fast,” A voice said, coming from the other side of the room. Just then a bolt of energy was sent my way. I barely had the time to react as it hit me square in the chest, sending me flying back into a stone pillar. When I looked up to see my attacker, it was none other than Celestia herself.

“What the buck?!” I shouted. standing up and looking at my chest to see the bolt of energy had caught fire to my shirt. I tore it off as fast as I could and saw scorch marks on my chest.

“To start your training, we must get you in physical shape.” She said walking up to me and jabbing at my slightly rounded stomach.

“I am sure there would have been a better way then almost blasting a hole in me!” I retorted.

“After watching you for so many years on earth, this seemed like the only way to get you to work out.” She said, “Even when you told your guardians on earth you were going to get fit you didn’t follow through.”

“So you had to threaten my life?!?”

“If it gets you to jog, run, or sprint, then yes.” She said with a slightly evil smirk.

“Oh buck!” I said as I was shot at with bolt after bolt a magic energy.

"What have I gotten myself into?” I said as ran around the room avoiding anything Celestia thought my way.

Author's Notes:

Sorry it took me so long to post this, my editor was extreamly busy. Also it may be a while before I post or even start work on another chapter.

I am having the dreaded writers block, so if anypony has any ideas of how to deal with this let me know. Or if you have a way to spark your creativity for writing share it with me. I will gladly give it a try.

I have grown as a writer and realized how bad this story is. I may re-write once I am completely done but for now I will leave the chapters I have have posted here the way they are. You can tell the difference in my writing skills if you read my Spike story 'The Rise of Spike the Dragon'. I consider it better written than this one.

Anyways sorry again, and please help me to get my inspiration back for this story. I know many of you like and I want to keep it going for all of you!
