Khenal's Book, Chapter 39
Not much has been happening lately, my Book. Friesden continues to give me the silent treatment. Dr. Erok has been much more sociable lately, even earning the nickname "Dr. Bubbles" for his personality. Venture and the other foals have picked up some odd slang from somewhere. Part of the new aqueduct collapsed through three floors and into my office.
Oh wait, that qualifies.
Two ponies were caught in the chaos of the collapse: Toltot, the odd pegasus, and Enog, one of the farmers. Poor Enog didn't survive his fall, but Toltot looks like he escaped without a scratch. I'm lucky I wasn't in my office, I likely would have fared as well as Enog.
Chapter 40
Dr Bubbles surprised me in my office today, claiming to be able to do magic as an earth pony. Most ponies don't know it, but earth ponies do actually have some magic. It's mostly subtle things, like their farming ability. I even have a book that talks about it here somewhere. Anyway, he tried to show me a few tricks of his, looking almost desperate that I'd believe him. When I said I did, he looked ready to explode with happiness. He asked me to teach him how to work magic, and I told him I'd try, but Earth Pony Magic is different from Alicorn Magic, which is different from Pegasus and Unicorn Magic as well.
Some of the principles are the same, though. It requires focus and discipline. I told him to gather a pot with soil, and he'd know where to get the soil he needs, and a seed. Plant it and focus on it for at least an hour each day, and come tell me when it bears fruit.
That should be a good exercise for him while I learn more about how Earth Pony Magic works.
**************
He has the same coloring as the other earth pony stallions, but they don't have his fancy scrubs! Also, that's the closest thing to a pony tail in the creator. Maybe he never expected anyone to want a pony tail hairdo on their pony?
