Abohaty's P.O.V

It was day eight of strenuous training. If Nom Nom was here to see, she'd be proud of how dedicated I am to this, and how far I've come. I went from simple blasting spells to knocking down trees, to creating storms, to causing earthquakes. I've grown so much, that even I myself am proud.

"Alright, Abohaty. I've seen your improvements." Dusk Shine put the book down and walked over to me. He stopped a little afterward to keep the distance. "It's time for a mini battle between just the two of us. And you know the rules. If on the ground for more than three seconds, it's an automatic loss." I spread open my wings, getting ready to prepare.

I was truly hoping this wasn't the final day, since it's been a little over a week. Nom Nom hasn't said anything yet, so I'm hoping that I still have more time to improve if I do lose this battle with Dusk Shine. I've never won a battle against him yet, but I plan to do so this time.

He started without a warning and in an instant, the ground was lifting above me, sliding me backward. I picked myself up using my wings and flew around him. My horn lit up and was preparing to aim a large blast at him. And when it was ready, I shot, but he used a shield to block it and aim the blast back at me like a boomerang. I immediately dodged out the way before I got burned. I heard it land somewhere else and explode. I looked back at Dusk Shine who seemed completely unharmed. I was confused how that didn't break his shield. He's just a normal unicorn! At least that's what I think. He shouldn't be this hard to take down. He should be nowhere near Nom Nom's level. "You've finished already?" he asked. I huffed. And closed my eyes, developing my next move. The daylight disappeared slowly as clouds placed themselves in front of the sun. The trees, flowers, and grass around us began to grow rapidly. I opened my glowing eyes. The grass wrapped around his hooves and the smiley flowers crowed him, making him lose focus and go into imaginary mode. Little did he know, a huge wave behind him was approaching quickly and splashed over him. When the water cleared, he was nowhere to be seen and my eyes went back to normal. I dropped myself to the wet ground and landed on all four hooves. I looked back to see Dusk Shine on the ground soaked wet and still dazed from the flowers. I walked over to him slowly.

"Did I hurt you too badly?" I panicked. He finally snapped out of it and looked at me in horror. "Dusk Shine...?"

"H-How'd you do that? I never taught you that!!"

"It was one of my mother's favorite spells...Nom Nom said she was going to teach me, but she never got a chance to so...I learned some of her spells on my own..." I explained to him. He got up quickly. "You're not mad that I beat you, are you?"

"No, of course not." He used his magic to dry himself off. "I'll meet you back at the castle." He teleported away, leaving me in confusion.

Since Dusk Shine just disappeared, I teleported myself back to the castle. Maybe that's where he ended up teleporting himself. But I didn't see him anywhere, so I just walked up to my room where Glitz stood in front of my bedroom door.

"Welcome home, Princess! How'd practicing go?" he asked with a bright smile on his face.

"I did it this time! I was able to defeat Dusk Shine in today's practice!" I sat beside him.

"That's amazing. I'm really glad you're getting somewhere."

"I used one of my mother's spells. Apparently, you can create your own spell," I told him. "Do you think that I'll be able to make my own spell?"

"Well of course. But you have to try, you know? I'm not exactly a unicorn but I'm sure it's not too difficult to create a new spell," Glitz said. He sat down too.

"Mines would probably involve unicorns and rainbows or something." we both shared a peal of small laughter.

"That sounds like you." It was silent for a moment. I noticed how as the days went on, we both haven't hung out like usual. I'm guessing it's because I'm getting busier. Glitz keeps reminding me that it's okay, but I don't think it is. My friends have been complaining a lot as well, but when you narrow it all down, I have no other choice. "Say, princess...are you busy at all this weekend?" he questioned. "I probably should've asked this way earlier so you can schedule off or something, but you've been really busy and I didn't want to interrupt your trai-"

"I can still call off. I do need a break after all..."

"Well, there's a party at my place this weekend because of Grammar," he told me. He took off his helmet and placed it on the ground.

"I was confused why you put your name in the box to request off that day. I meant to ask you about it, but I forgot. I saw it a few days ago, but I still let you off anyways. I'm available though."

"Don't you have to ask Nom Nom first?" I shook my head no. "That's new...where has Nom Nom been anyways?"

"Nom Nom is busy. She's finally decided to work on that plan for when Queen Amirah comes back."

"But why all of a sudden now? To me, it sorta seems urgent because she hasn't been around at all and she comes back to your room really late...it's like she's catching no breaks..." I laughed awkwardly.

"Well, you know Nom Nom. This is something really big and she doesn't have time for any breaks. Plus, it's better to get ready early than at the last minute." I had to play it smoothly with Glitz. It's not like Queen Amirah could be coming any second now.

"Maybe I'm just overthinking it..." I nodded.

"Yeah...maybe..."
