The Opal Spark Chapter 1: The Apprentice

Opaline was a young filly, who lives in a village near Ponyville and Canterlot. She visits Canterlot to see The Summer sun Celebration, where Princess Twilight, rises the sun.

She started with her extension studying and research on magic even learning of how to flip a single page with her magic which lasted well into the night.

*Her parents came in and presented her a document with a blue ribbon and a check mark to let her know she has been enrolled into the school much to her joy…*

*She then recalled as she suddenly finds herself face to face with examiners with her parents standing on the side of the room for support as one of the teachers rolls in a cart with a purple spotted egg up to her.*

*“Well, Miss Opaline?” One of them urged her to do so.*

*Opaline back then nervously laughed as she realized she has to literally crack the toughest challenge any unicorn can face.*

*Seeing she has no choice as the examiners have their clipboards ready to test her and see if she is worth of joining the princess’s school she gives the best she can do but all she could come up with is weak sparks from her horn.*

*This was not good for her as she was really struggling with this near-to-impossible task at hoof.*

*“We don't have all day.” The instructor again impatiently urged her to work her magic on the plant to which her utmost efforts are still in vain as she still could not hatch it.*

She knew it was the most important day of her life, that my entire future would be affected by the outcome of this day and she was about to blow it!

*“I'm sorry I wasted your time.” Young Opaline then said in defeat when an explosion occurred from outside which gave her a surge of magic that worked her horn into grow the plant.*

*Then suddenly she lost control as her eyes glowed white as she levitated the instructors, turned her parents into plants, and turned the plant into a giant venus fly trap beast which caught the attention of Princess Twilight who went over and placed a calming hoof on her to get her to stop. Once that happened, everything returned to normal.*

*“Opaline.” The alicorn princess said to her who looks on in worry.*

*“Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean...” The young mare began her apology until she is showered with praise.*

*“You have a very special gift. I don't think I've ever come across a unicorn with your raw abilities.”*

*“Huh?”*

"Beside, I did that during my first test." Twilight said.

*“What was happening” She thought.*

*“But you need to learn to tame these abilities through focused study.” She continued.*

*“Huh?!”*

*“Opaline, I'd like to make you my own personal protégé here at the school.” She then offered as the filly is left dumbstruck by this after turning to her parents who nod their heads with excited expressions to take her up on that offer.*

*“Huh?!”*

*“Well?”*

*“Yes!” She excitably accepted.*

*“One other thing, Opaline.” She added leaving her confused again until she pointed to her new cutie mark.*

*“My cutie mark!” She awed at the sight. “Yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes...” She exclaimed as she hopped up and down and around the room as her parents and Twilight smiled.*
