Alicorns of Harmony chapter 2

"Now if there are no further questions we can begin your training." Celestia said. After a moments silence Celestia nodded her head before continuing, "good, Twilight, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash; you shall train with Luna. Fluttershy, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie; you shall train with me."

When Celestia had finished they all slowly began to stretch themselves. Twilight's back arched, her eyes were closed and she accidentally walked into something. Her eyes popped open and she saw a vase falling towards the floor. It seemed like she could stare at it forever as it fell much slower then it should have, or it looked that way. Her horn began to glow as she began to lift it back up to it's pedestal.

Somewhere behind her Twilight heard Luna gasp. The vase shattered into a million tiny pieces, shocked Twilight stood there for a second. "What just happened," She asked, her voice quivering.

"Twilight Sparkle, you are an Alicorn now and as such should treat magic with more respect, you have more power than you can imagine. Please refrain from using magic until you have been fully taught on how to control it." Luna chastised.

Still stunned Twilight nodded to indicate she understood. Her head bent closer to the broken vase, it's tiny broken facets reflected a million different colors. Hesitantly Twilight put a hoof on it and tried to crush it, but no matter how hard she tried none of it would shatter.

"By the way, Twilight, that vase was made of Diamond," Celestia said before continuing lecturing her three students on the proper method of releasing magic.

Twilight's mind quickly grinded to a halt, she did not want to think about how much power she had within her.

"Twilight Sparkle! shall you be joining us today, we need to begin." Luna said loudly.

===

The first part of Training was teaching Dash the basics of accessing magic. She seemed pretty good at it, but that was to be expected of an Alicorn. After over five hours on this topic finally they moved onto learning how to move their wings and the basics of flight. Something that Rainbow Dash found extremely boring since she already knew it all. But she kept quiet because she understood the necessity of the practice.

The training slowly made progress, it was arduous and difficult work, trying to master their new body parts and abilities in such short notice. When night fell and the ponies began to complain about having to sleep Celestia called them together again.

"I know it is late, however ask yourself, are you tired?" Celestia asked before going silent once more.

"Strangely, I'm not," Twilight said, her tone curious.

"That's right, Alicorns do not need sleep, now shall we get back to work?" Celestia asked kindly. Everypony nodded quickly, and their efforts doubled.

The sun should have risen, but it hadn't yet. The night had passed quickly and after only a day of training, Celestia told them to raise the sun themselves. After some quick instruction on the spell to cause the sun to move across the sky they were ready.

Celestia took two steps back, her eyes not leaving the new Alicorns.

"Ok, ready?" Twilight asked, stuttering several times.

Hesitant nods came from the group as they each closed their eyes and immersed themselves in the sea of magic they now possessed. The spell was fresh in each of their minds and easy to bring to the forefront, but it was not done yet. Before they could actually use the spell, they had to use their magic to touch the sun. Their magic began to expand to dizzying proportions as they let down all the floodgates they had put up the night before. A torrent of magic flew into their minds and they reached out so far they felt something distant. Something unimaginably huge and powerful was now theirs to control. Together they said a few words in perfect harmony as the sun began to creep over the horizon.

Twilight opened her eyes and smiled before gasping quickly at the changes around her. All of her friends, and herself she assumed, had grown. Their manes had a slight sparkle to them, and they had grown at least 5 inches. Their horns had also grown and their wings appeared larger then before. Worried Twilight looked at Celestia.

With a smile on her face Celestia said, "Nothing to worry about, the more times you do that, the more grown you will become, it will only take a few days to achieve your full size and power."

"Wait this isn't our full power?" Dash asked, her voice jumping up slightly.

"No, every generation, for some unknown reason, the powers increase. soon enough you will each dwarf me and Luna combined." Celestia said, her voice getting lost somewhere before continuing. "But no need to worry, we shall have the ceremony tomorrow, and after that, we cannot teach you anything. You may not believe it, but you already know exactly what to do. So I can think of no reasonable answer why not." Celestia announced. "It shall begin tomorrow at high noon."

Everypony went silent, they tried to imagine what it would be like. Slowly, Rarity began to speak, " It will be a huge ceremony, with the most important ponies there..."

Pinkie Pie chimed in, "It will have streamers, good music, and all kinds of games!"

At that point Fluttershy smiled slightly and said in a soft voice, "I hope there are cute little animals, like birds and bunnies."

"The wonderbolts have to be there," Rainbow said loudly.

Interrupting the conversation Celestia said, "Do not worry all of this is being prepared right now, after all it is possibly the biggest day of your immortal lives. Now my little ponies, get some rest please."
