ลำดับตอนที่ #5 : Be Yourself

"Okay Aiden ,try again but this time think about how your wings look like and where you want to place it on your body." Starswirl says with Aiden, both of them are in the courtyard of the castle. Aiden wants to learn the creating spell since today Princess Celestia wants some help from him to perform the great radiance of sunlight by fly in the high speed and explode a radiant sunlight. Over 2 days, he learnt the half of Unicorn's magic with Starswirl. As a student, he understands really fast ,faster than any student that Starswirl ever teach since he is a sorcerer and knight himself. So he went quickly with a simple magic in a few minute and mastered the hard magics within an hour.

"Okay master.... hahhhh." Aiden takes a deep breath and closes his eyes, the dark flame's lit on his hands. The little embers glow even brighter into the burning ember. Suddenly two dark combustion of dark flame occur on AIden's back. After the dark combustion, pair of dragon-like wings suddenly appear behind him.

"Hah I did it!" Aiden says and jumps up on the sky, his wings flap making him stays up on the sky.

"Well done my student." Starswirls says while Aiden is landing down with his wings disappear into the dark ember.

"Thank you, master. Whew took a long time though for this spell.... Hah I already forgot." Aiden says as he stretches some stress out from his muscles. Starswirls takes some check on the book.

"Actually it's just... 8 hour from... early morning." Starswirl yawns since he was awoken by Aiden really early.

"Ohhh... yes I remember now." Aiden chuckles.

"Well then If you excuse me I want to have some... haaww... nap." Starswirl takes his leave.

"Hey Aiden! How's it going?" Sally is walking to the courtyard with her friends, Ziggy.

"Doing fine just finish spell training... Ha... never thought It's been this short... Whatever... come here!" Aidens says, his dark fire's extinguished from his hands and he gives both of his friends a hug.

"Awww You are a sweet one, Aiden." Sally and Ziggy return him a hug too. Princess Celestia approaches behind three of them before she giggles and clears her throat making Aiden and his friends turn to her with surprise.

"Ohh your highness." Aiden bows to her same as his friends.

"Good job spell practicing, Aiden. I presume you are ready for the first Summer Sun Celebration." Princess says.

"Yes.. shall we head out, princess?"Princess Celestia nods. Aiden's hands ignite with the dark flame. Again the occurrence of dark flame's combustion happens again on his back returning him the same pair of wings.

"Wow! That really cool!" Ziggy says while both he and Sally look at the wings Aiden just created.

"Yep and I could do this too." Aiden snap his finger and two fresh made glasses of apple cider appear before Ziggy and Sally.

"Wow!" Both gasp in surprise after they saw what Aiden did.

"Well are you leaving?"Sallys asks. Aiden nods as his wings rise up.

"Yes I will see you in the celebration, my friends." Aiden bows and gives them another group hug.

"Come on up it's almost time to rise up the sun."Princess rises up her wings and flies up with Aiden. Sally and Ziggy also take their leave heading out to the town square where the Summer Sun Celebration's ceremony is settled. Princess and Aiden make their way to the stage where every pony is gathering around. Princess Celestia lands down on the stage that's set on the east where the sun will rise up while Aiden lands down near his friends, Sally, Ziggy, and Bright Hammer.

Soon after princess lands down, she looks out to the descending moon and quickly flies up to the sky. the sun's suddenly ascended up after Celestia flies up and it's making the radiant of sunlight occurs before every pony's and Aiden's eyes.

"And now the Summer Sun Celebration, the longest day time of Equestria is officially started!" After princess shouted, every pony is cheering up in joy and starting up the feast. Celestia flies up to the castle's balcony and looks out to the sky.

"Oh. the show's starting." Suddenly after princess said, the stream of thunder cloud occurs up high in the sky with other four steams of thunder cloud. At the head of the thunder clouds there are Pegasuses leading those streams and they are flying in pattern of an amazing lighting bolt all over the sky of Canterlot. Those Pegasuses fly up high to the sun and burst out a big radiant of sunlight. Princess gasps in surprise when she saw the performance of the Pegasuses.

"Wow! This is more than I expected. I love this!" Princess Celestia clap her hooves cheering those Pegasuses. They fly down to princess and bow before they fly away. Aiden also surprised how wonderful it is while he's standing with his pony friends.

"Wow that's just... Spectacular." Bright Hammer mentions.

"No it's awsome!" Ziggy says.

"It's marvelous!" Said by Sally.

"I think... I'm speechless." Aiden chuckles.

"So... shall we enjoy the fun?" Bright Hammer asks every one of her friends.

"Yes sure!" Ziggy says with exciting tone of his voice. Bright Hammer turn to Aiden and asks.

"You coming, Aiden?"

"Well I want to take a walk first, I don't feel much hungry yet." Bright Hammer nods and leads Ziggy and Sally to the cafeteria. Meantime Aiden walks around the stands where every pony is enjoying the celebration. He keep walking in the crowd. From those random ponies he's looking at, Aiden's sights stop at the similar appearance of the Cartarina Armor. He quickly recognize that's Siegward.

"Aiden my friend!"Siegward shut out from the direction that Aiden's looking at.

"Siegward! How come!"Aiden asks in wonder as he approaches close to Siegward.

"I was... hmmm -snoring-" Siegward suddenly falls asleep.

"Uhh.. Siegward?" Aiden holds Siegward's shoulder and shakes him to wake him up.

"Ahh wh- what?!" He's quickly recovered by Aiden's shaking.

"You... Fell asleep." Aiden mentions.

"Ohh pardon me..-yawn- I feel really tired recently..." Siegward says.

"Tired?... Though unkindled like us never get sleepy." Aiden mentions.

"Well not every unkindled is an enduring one like you." Siegward chuckles.

"Well then since you are here... want to go meet my friend first and maybe you can tell me later?" Aiden mentions. Siegward nods his head.

"Yes sure my friend. After your lead."After Siegward said, Aiden takes a lead to the cafeteria where his friends are. The dark flame is still lit on Aiden's hand bringing out the scrolls of magic that he isn't finished yet to read them.

"Hmm... interesting... what if...." His other hand's now lit with the dark flame when Aiden's attempting to cast spell while he's reading.

"The combination of Illusion spell and... my cast light... let see if I.." Suddenly the bright magic turn the dark flame into the sunlight flame and the combustion of sunlight flame occur next to Siegward. After the huge combustion extinguishes, the other appearance of Aiden appear next to Siegward.

"Ahh what?" Siegward looks at his both side with surprise after he saw two Aiden standing on both of his side.

"Hmmm interesting result."The real Aiden with the dark flame on his hand is casting the objective controling spell to bring out the quil and take note on the scroll.

"You've done really fine job as a wizard, Aiden."Siegward mentions and the other Aiden suddenly disappear before Siegward's eyes.

"Yeah I know my friend. It's not perfect but it will help me well." Aiden explains. Siegward smiles under his helmet. Finally They have arrived the cafeteria where their pony friends're sitting on talking to each other. Aiden and Siegward walk straightly to his friends and clear his throat.

"Oh you finally here and... oh Siegward! what a surprise." Bright Hammer greets both of them before Sally and Ziggy.

"Welcome Aiden! You too Siegward." Sally greets right after Bright Hammer.

"Well come have a seat both of you."Ziggy offers his human friends a seat. Aiden and Siegward say nothing but bow before they take a seat.

"So... how is every pony doing?" Aiden starts up the conversation.

"Always busy with smithing just got a break for Summer Sun Celebration though." Bright Hammer mentions.

"Tailor is a fun job if you love it." Sally says.

"Heh mine is quite bad, no pony comes to trade like usual."Ziggy sighs and bottom up his glass of apple cider.

"So what about your, Aiden?" Bright Hammer asks out to Aiden.

"Hmm normal like other wizard, learning new spells, adaptation one to others, and etc."Aiden says while he takes a sip from his teacup that's covered by the dark flame.

"Wow that seems too busy to have free time." Bright Hammer mentions.

"Yes but I feel really free from my training. Those... sorta spell is quite simple and the way to adapt it is a tricky one I know but... I'm a fast learner since I am also wizard myself." Aiden chuckles.

"Hahah he always a confident one about magics." Siegward chuckles. Aiden sighs and looks down on his hand thinking about all the path he has been passed since he woke up from cemetery as a sorcerer. Aiden looks at his friends and takes his deep breath before he says.

"I have something to tell all of you." Every pony turns to Aiden with a doubtful eyes.

"What is it?"Bright Hammer asks.

"Well I told you all a story I've been through but... I never tell you a story of... the old me." Aiden says.

"Ohh that would be interesting to hear." Princess Celestia suddenly approaches behind Siegward making a playful giggles.

"If you want to hear too your highness." Princess smiles and takes her seat next to Aiden.

"Since I'm here I found my lost memory with the memory spell. I got all my memory back now... When I was... well... real human... I found myself as a student of Dragon School. I am full with ambition... I took a lot of time to study all of Dragon School's magic until... that day came to my life.... my vey big mistake..."Aiden sighs and looks down at his dark burnt hand.

"What happen?"Princess asks.

"Dark magic..." the dark flame suddenly combust his hands and explode into the black flare.

"....corrupted the school then... everything go dark and... and it was my fault. I know be ambitious about magic is good but too ambitious... it can bring us all the end of the world. Without any doubt about me, The Council banished me from the school forever. Since that day I keep telling myself how terrible I was...I hid who I was... really long time now." Every pony's jaw drops even Princess Celestia after they have heard Aiden's hidden story. The Darksign within his eyes shine brightly.

"Wow... that's really the untold part from you." Siegward mentions.

"Well actually... if this is not you then who you are.. then... can I ?"Aiden sighs after he heard the question. He takes off the gloves revealing the delicate hands like female. On Aiden's left ring finger has the strange looking ring on.

"This is the Reversal Ring... A divine ring granted to the Darkmoon Gwyndolin in his youth. it causes males to perform female actions, and females perform male actions." Aiden says and takes the ring off. His body flash slightly in short time.

"Wait... according to your explanation... that's mean..."

"Gwyndolin actually raised like a.. uhmmm mare by the aura of moon... No idea how too."Aiden's voice now turns to fully female voice. Every pony is now even more surprised than his story after they heard the changed voice of Aiden.

"And... yes.. I am female."Aiden says with her soft muse voice.

"Wow... Besides the ambitious wizard... You are... really change a lot ,my friend."Siegward mentions.

"I know... Since I came in the Equestria, I have found many valuable lessons beyond my old sorceries or my ambitious thought and overcame those past to become the new me and..." Aiden smiles to Princess Celestia.

"And you have made a bound of friendship grow bigger too."Princess smiles at Aiden. Thr sorcerer stands up and bows before princess. Siegward looks at his friend before Aiden gets up and give him a hug.

"And my bound of friendship is shining brightly because of all of you too... My dear friends... and my royalty."She says with joyful and gives every on of his friends and princess a hug.

"Every pony say friendship."The photographer poniy says. Princess Celestia and her subjects turn to the camera and say.

"FRIENDSHIP!" Suddenly the photo pony click on the shutter taking a picture of every pony and Princess Celestia picture in the cafeteria.
