Was watching a magic show at the academy.
"Hahahaha, interesting. By the way, sirs and madams… I have two interests in furthering mirror images: The first being persistent, large-scale images that perhaps need not be maintained by the caster, the second being conjuring images to aid in… hypnotism, and other suggestive skills. Have your mages any knowledge of these pursuits?"

He levitates the weapons back into their rack
"Well, save for the one unfortunate mistake, a fine duel indeed. I doubt you'd even needs guards of your own, Venia. You are remarkably capable in combat."
>>277226
They seem to be very sorry for it.
"So… can we ask what you're in here for then?"
"You don't look like a student, so you're probably not here because you're in trouble."
>>277227
"Hypnotism is an inexact pseudoscience we frown upon."
"However, illusions and mirage spells are not at all unknown to our halls"
>>277228
The kings share a look
"Would you recommend it?"
"Unsure. I tend to eat with my court. Would you like to have me summon the chef?"
Frostmourn chuckles
"No need. Sometimes a meal between friends is finer than any royal dish. Perhaps we can talk later."
"Of course, High King."
"Please, call me Frostmourn. There is no need to be so formal."
"Very well. Enjoy yourself in my city then, Frostmourn."
He gets up and walks to you
"Lead on old friend"

No use asking here then.
"I see. I was asking because I have seen in action first hand, but if have nothing of the sort, then mirages and large-scale images will be enough. How advanced is your knowledge of them? Would it enable an individual to conjure multiple, independent images? Or an entire illusory room or even hall of this size? Or perhaps entire illusory cities, if operated by multiple mages and the correct equipment? What about invisibility?"

"A noble mindset indeed. Being royalty is no reason to let your body go to waste. So, anything else you'd like from me?"
>>277234
"Memory loss?"
"Have you seen a doctor about it?"
"As for Starswirls, even we've read about him if you want to ask."
>>277235
He takes a look at his wings of light, silver horn coil, fur lined cape and glowing armour
"…I should?"
>>277236
"You ask a lot. I like that. It implies a will to learn.
The most advanced illusion to date was the Ethereal Estate of Candyhorn - A mansion and gardens that, while impressive to look at, were incorporeal images painted over the shack she lived in. It is not unheard of for skilled illusionists to conjure very lifelike images of beasts or even entire rooms.
As for invisibility, that has long been a goal for many in our ranks. Yet none have managed to figure out a solid method to date.

Keep up a friendly, subtly eager tone.
"So, invisibility is as of yet not possible? Then it appears I have a new project for Mages Nylis and Winterbreeze to work on. They are prodigies who have made many forays into the field of magic independently of even Rockeye, and should they come to you, I hope you and your staff may assist them."
"And, you say this Candyhorn was the work of a single individual? Imagine what a team could do…. I am interested. As if now, this is all I can manage."

"It is clear enough you know what you are doing. And besides. I am a defender, not a fighter. I excel in pushing back and subdoing foes rather than killing them.
So, about that dinner?"
>>277246
"It makes me feel important."
He opens the clasp on his cape, levitates it to a nearby Sunlight Warrior and allows the wings to retract and fade.

"Oh plenty. The exhibit is meant for casual viewing, not in-depth learning."
"Starswirls is mostly known for the apparent ability to manipulate time. Though he never figured any good use for it, beyond extending his own lifespan and allowing himself to study long lost magic by traveling back in time to learn it."
"Some say he has a fortress outside time where he keeps his studies and texts, but that is probably a myth, as he a registered citizen of Canterlot and contributes to their library."
"His student, Clover, was always very close to him. Some say they were lovers. However Clover did not seem to share his mentor's longevity, and has not been seen since the Discordian age. He is understandably presumed dead."
"Starswirls himself does not want to speak of the topic."
>>277248
She raises an eyebrow.
So do the judges
"Impressive. Where did you study?"
>>277251
"Ah, hm, yes. If you say so. The invitation will of course remain open if you wish to take it. You know where to find me."

Nudge Venus a little, then speak.
"I had little formal training in magic, to be frank. My sole training was done as a favour from Former King Longshanks, as repayment for a favour I did for him in turn. It was he he taught me how to do this, and if I recall, in very little time. I attributed it then to his excellent skill in teaching."

He sighs and unscrews the magic coil, making the field around his horn weaken visibly
"Perhaps…"
He levitates it to the same paladin.
"….so, shall we go, or am I still too silly to be seen with?"

She is sitting on a rooftop, observing the city. She notices your efforts to follow her and pulls you up with some visible effort
"That armour is kinda heavy."
>>277260
The judges give an approving nod
"The king's skills as a scholar and teacher are almost as remarkble as his skills as a mage."
>>277261
"Starswirls was an archmage. He knew of most schools of magic and is considered to be the father of some. His name is seen aside many spells in common modern use."
"As for Clover, not as much is known. Beyond being the foremost student and assistant of Starswirls, Clover also acted as adviser to Princess Platinum, last of the Unicorn monarchs before the creation of Equestria and the coming of the Discordian Era."

"…I wonder if we could devise a memory spell…"

Give him a smile and stand by his side.
"There is a reason I had you drop that stuff, you know.
I don't want to hang out with King Frostmourn. I want to have a meal with Frosty, just like we did ages ago. I wonder if Verne is free too…"
Is he or should we go ahead without him?

"I love it, this place is magnificent. Just think of all the knowledge that must be in this city. This is a mage's dream come true! I can see why the Equestrians are so interested in it."
I chuckle
"King Longshanks really got you good back in the throne room. I wonder what kind of spell that was…"

Glare at the second pony.
"And I hope you are not thinking of what I am thinking that you are thinking after what you did earlier, because that counts as rape. And if a bloody nose was what you got from harassment, I'd make sure that something else would be crushed if such a thought will ever cross your mind. Understood?"

"Mister Borders."
Take a bow.
"I, Advisor Verne of Wintergrasp, thank you very much for your offer. How may I improve my ability to cast illusions? I believe I should work more on general refinement of the technique first, before I try conjuring large, or multiple illusions."

"Large scale and multiple conjuration becomes an entirely possible thing with enough training. However, it took me a good ten years to amass a strong enough grasp on the spell to do it at will.
Most students prefer what we call projection aids - catalytic devices that can be used to focus the illusions around it."

"Perhaps now that King Longshanks is relieved of some of his duties, he can focus on working on magic even more. Which reminds me, what is his majesty's first name? I don't recall ever hearing of it."

Now, I've remedied to that myself, but other blades are, well, kind of naked in that regard."

[It is generally assumed Clover never studied the Time Arts with Starswirls, and died in the Discordian era. However, evidence suggests this is not true, and indeed it seems he simply moved to become the steward of Starswirls' estate outside time, and the caretaker of his works–]

You can hear him stumble a little, and hear a glass breaking, but that is all.
The crackling fires of the city around you are the only sound you hear as you climb up the stairs to your room.
You get to bed, the red glow from outside bathing the room even with the curtains in place.
Soon, mother comes to tuck you in. You can see a tear on her cheek and a bit of blood flowing from her mouth, but she has a smile on her face. She hums a soft tone and bends down to kiss you.
Your hooves too weak to reach out to her. As your vision fades, you see her put on a mask and walk out of the room.
Somewhere above, a dragon roars.
You fall asleep.
And there is only silent darkness.

"A well crafted armor? Realistically, the strike itself is strong enough to do serious damage even without striking a critical point.
A powerful brawler can even place more strenght into it and blow any kind of armor.
I saw ponies break stones bigger than them when using it.
I don't know Frosty, my suggestion would be to dive away of the attack, but this is impossible with that weight you carry around…"

A mirror image of your armor, slightly different, projected around your real one!

Not too obvious of course, otherwise if King Ebonreth is half the fighter stories make him out to be he'll realize something's wrong."

"Maybe an outer layer? Or… An illusion! Listen up because this might just be crazy enough to work!
A mirror image of your armor, slightly different, projected around your real one!
With all the forging lines mixed up to lead instead in strenght points!
Not too obvious of course, otherwise if King Ebonreth is half the fighter stories make him out to be he'll realize something's wrong."

It was long ago in a land quite far from here, that two doctors, sisters they were, worked to cure their home town of a horrible disease. A pox that afflicted all from the town elders to the young children. The Cutie Pox. Ponies fell over dead from exhaustion or accidents by the hour as new cutie marks kept appearing on their bodies, forcing them to do new things without end until they keeled over.
Ultimately the sisters did find a solution to the problem. A way to halt it. And it kept them safe. But it was too late for the others.
A few weeks later, all that was left was a silent town, and two sisters, in their home, their doors and windows barred, food supplies depleted and hope lost.
They were the only ones left. But they were too scared to go out and look. So they stayed in there. Hiding. For the rest of their days."

But think just how much good this will do her!
And don't mistake me. I'm here wasting time on you just because I'm sure she doesn't want any of my help, otherwise I'd be down there giving her a hoof!"

He probably misses you a lot too.
You should ask Frosty if it's ok to head back if you so want to meet him again.
After a while, the duo finishes up
"My my captain… you certainly are one to impress, aren't you?"
"This is all really… REALLY strange. But… I don't mind.
I'm guessing the queen is getting a little bored though?"

As you intensely stare him down, the mare sneaks a painful revenge kick on you
"Hurts don't it? Fuck you!"

Looks like a fight as broken out, and from the sound of it, the initiating blow was not a very sporting one.

"Me? Well, I guess I could join in too if you preferred it that way. I'm not sure what Sunrise's views are on the issue though. I never asked if she's be interesting in watching that sort of thing."
>>281182
Oh hey Nylis and Winterbreeze are here too.
The fountain is shut off for the night, and the pond below it is still. Looking into it, you can see reflections of the palace tower.

"I was going to suggest offering the ladies a little show with whoever felt comfortable with the idea, in exchange for similar repayment.
Mind you, this is entirely off the official record. I'm making this suggestion as a friend and fellow stallion, not as High King."

"Urgh. I'm not really a passive kind of pony, you know."
But I'm kinda smashed right now. Breezy and all.
"But I think I'd get comfy in that golem butt of yours."
Grin at him and see how far he takes it.
Is a game of chicken now.
Drink more.

You are a veritable info sponge. You may learn Commune or Raise Dead at MIN8

"Now forgive me if my terminology is not all there, but I did talk to a pony about this once and apparently it is considered polite to… I believe the term was 'reach around' when being the active partner, to offer the recipient a little something back. And as a unicorn, that seems a lot simpler."

"Quite the trick, yes.
However, with far less effort, I could simply do this."
he ruffles your belly with some magic

You are too busy being a cute lesbian to learn anything. Winterbreeze has to push you off her at one point so she can focus properly on the presentation.
And now it is time for cake and punch.

You can't tell who anyone is. They all took great care to mask themselves to avoid being recognized.

"Well as I said, slight advantages.
Now of course the added pro to it is that even if you are on your back like that, where yours wings are useless, I could still work you easily."
He gets on the bed and sits down by your ass
"So… hm. If you want I could demonstrate."

"Hm. Very well then~"
You can feel his magic grasp you and slowly start massaging with all the care and attention only one who has personal experience with what a stallion truly enjoys can have.
Somewhere in a deep dark shadow, a squee is suppressed and hooves are silently bumped.
You know.. if you don't look at him you kinda forget he's a… he. And it does feel really nice~
>>281431
"Hm, come to think of it, I thought that was a topic that was going to be covered. Guess they had to move it to a later date or something…"

That is some critical gay sex right there.
You feel like a whole new man after a good night of fudge mining.
The sensation of the royal glory itself crusading for new territory inside your uncharted southlands is utterly magnificent.
The exquisite care of his telekinesis working every sensitive nerve of your member only serves to heighten the immense erotic euphoria.
You lose yourself to the fiery kisses, ignoring entirely his masculine jawline against yours and allowing your tongue to wander, guided only by your heart.
And balls totally touched.

"Wouldn't that be something. Though the last one to propose it was fired from the academy."
>>281611
They climb down, looking a little sorry
"…h-how was it dear?"
"You sure put on quite a show partner."
Frosty laughs softly behind you.
