It is said what Celestia School for Gifted Unicorns is the best magic related school and university in all of Equestria and what graduating from it is a big-big accomplishment for a unicorn. One of course would think so, as said school is placed in the capital of Equestria, city called Canterlot and well, it does have some things to do with one and only – Princess Celestia.
And right now, in one of the two-mare room a student named Twilight Sparkle lied down on the bed, levitating a book in front of her to read. She didn’t really liked the idea to live in the room with someone else, but her old “room” was occupied right now and even still – it was bearable, since where was no one here except of her. She didn’t really have a roommate, so it kind of worked out.
The only thing she didn’t knew, what there was a roommate for her, new arrival to the school – little filly named Spell Shock, with green coat and grey mane and tail, she looked surprisingly serious for her age. Of course it’s not usual thing for filly to be settled in one of the rooms occupied with much older student, but the situation demanded it. This year was busy, with many restorations which were held in the school and a huge wave of promising new students, all the rooms got occupied really quickly.
So, as one would think the door to the room opened and Spell Shock walked in, levitating her little suitcase and some kind of empty cage behind. Actually pretty impressive for filly her age.
“Hello! You must be Twilight Sparkle! I’m your new roommate!” – Spell Shock exclaimed cheerfully, but suddenly she fought something like – “Wait, didn’t I heard about her somewhere?”

Twilight set her book down with a sigh, and closed it with its bookmark in place. She cleared her throat and turned to the pony, but whatever she was about to say got lost from her. "Uhm.... Hello." To be honest, Twilight expected somepony much older. She decided it would be rude to ask how she got here.
She began to regain her thoughts. "Y-yes, I am Twilight Sparkle, but just Twilight will do. Now I dont really like the fact I have to room with somepony, but im sure if we both just take each other into consideration, everything will be fine. And by the way, I never caught your name." She managed a smile, but in reality she felt like being alone studying right now rather than meeting anypony.

“Oh, pardon me. My name is Spell Shock and not Spell Sock, whatever anyone says what” – she replied quite cheerful, thought she got she isn’t exactly welcome here, which was quite noticeable. She was more like, just polite little filly.
With this, filly levitated all her things into her part of the room, trying not to ram anything into something else, she never got used to manipulating with many things at once. Her empty silver colored cage which she hanged up over her bed looked kind of weird, you know – being empty. As well as what, it was quite surprising but she put away on one of the shelves some onyxes gems, scrolls and a… spell book. Considering filly her age shouldn’t even know cantrips by now.
“So… Twilight. Can I ask you a question? You ever had been in Ponyville?” – Spell Shock asked after looking at her for a brief moment, she just knew she either heard of seen her before, probably first.
//Things to notice if need be: Cage - a pet. Spell book - isn't this a bit early for you?//

Twilight looked over what the filly had and what she was putting away. Some was a bit surprising, but she was at the school of those gifted, so it should be expected she was advanced for her age. She held her tongue long enough to provide an answer to Spell. "I actually live in Ponyville. Im back here because of some of the.... recent events." She didnt speak further.
"So," She spoke up, "Why do you have those onyx gems?" She would have asked about the spell book, but she knew what she used that for; spells. Asking her would only confirm her initial shock. The onyx, however, she wasnt sure why exactly she needed them.

"Oh. Strange, i don't remember seeing you before. Huh, i guess i was kind of blind in the past on all the ponies. I didn't even know Ponyville has a tailor for example. And what hse is bloody good with throwing spears, for what matter. But i digress." - Spell Shock replied, she right now probably talked about Rarity, through she ain't exactly a tailor.
She thought of something for a moment.
"Oh, they are ingredients. And they are pretty. No particular use for them, since i don't really like spell they used for. But this spell IS a staple of my particular school of interest, to which i have a talent for. And before you remembered the spell i'm talking about, no i'm not crazy, evil or anything like what. I'm not going away at night, to dig graves and stuff." - She added after what. The thing with black onyxes is what they are used in "Animate Undead" spell of necromancy school. It is rather rare for a pony to have talent in this one particular school of magic, but not completely unheard of, through they rumored to be crazy ass killers.

Twilight's intrest piqued. The school of conjuration was both one that was little heard of and looked down upon. If any other pony had told Twi they studied it, she would have been intrigued, but such a school was weird enough to study in the first place, and Spell was only a filly! She wondered if she should continue questioning any further.
Next she looked up at the cage. Yay, another thing I shouldn't ask about but will anyway, she thought. "A-and.... Who's going to be in that cage there...?" She asked, almost fearing the answer. Hopefully the animal wouldn't be bothersome, or loud. This roommate was turning out to be much more than she bargained for.

"Me" - she heard kind of cold, low but yet surprisingly friendly and worm voice. In a few moments, cage got occupied with a tiny blue-cyan bird. It was definitely a phoenix, but no no, not just normal phoenix - cryophoenix. You thought usual phoenix were rare? Well here, have something ever more rare. Gladly, phoenixes are known to be very intelligent and very magic sensitive creatures. They after all living flame/ice and snow.
Spell Shock looked at the cage and smiled a bit, she wondered where her familiar went.
"You just had to wait until dramatic entry?" - Spell Shock asked - "This is my familiar and a friend, Daawn. Not much of a pet, but she seems to like what cage a lot... mostly because what means she can be a bit lazy and let me carry her around."
"It's not you carrying me around, it's you carrying around cage which carries me" - Daawn replied swiftly - "Besides i wasn't waiting for "dramatic entry", i was looking around."

Twilight gawked in awe. That was a cryopheonix.... That was a cryopheonix in the same room as her. She had only ever read of them, much less ever even dreamed of seeing one. It seemed amazing things had a habit of finding Twilight. Maybe this roommate wasn't all that bad.
"Ho-how did you two meet? Where was she? There isn't a whole lot known about cryopheonixs! I'd love to do a bit of research~" She realized she was now right beside the cage. She backed up, composing herself. "That is, if you two would be fine with that..." She smiled at her own overexcitement.

"We've meet on my birthday. One day, i hatched from icy orb to see Spell Sock just looking at me with big round pupils." - Daawn replied swiftly, she was quite okay with how Twilight reacted. She never did mind attention to her, as long it wasn't fiery attention.
"Oh well, this is kind of funny story. Me and my friends find a giant sized cryophoenix near the top of Dragon mountain in the desiscrete field and we pulled her out of it. She was dead when and phoenixes can't rebirth themselves while in vile magic such as dessicrete field. She said we could ask something of her, as a gift and i wanted to see a birth of one of her babies, we helped her recover a dozen of little icy orbs. And she decided what it would be fair if i could see this event in.. well... first motion i guess. I remember it as if it was three days ago." - Spell Shock told, it wasn't much of information but still.
"Probably because it was three days ago" - Daawn deadpanned with a bit of sarcasm here and where.
"Yeah and you already can talk in like what, four languages? I live 10, almost 11 years now and i can fluently speak on only six of them and you already confusing me with Auran (Language of flying creatures)!" - Spell Shock complained, she was kind of envy of her for what.
"And you managing to be a penpal with someone other ponies should wait for weeks to get in contant. You on the other claw, write to each other every day" - Daawn replied, looking at some letters Scroll put away on her night table. The paper seemed awfully familiar and the handwriting with all it's details and stuff was awfully familiar too.
"This again, Daawn? Why are you all so obsessed with this silly idea? Cut it off, jeez. Oh and yes, i forgot..." - Spell mumbled - "Well in any case, i'm your new roommate! I hope you not going to mind me."

Twilight was amazed at the cryopheonix. She was about to ask more when the scrolls caught her attention. She had so many questions, and she originally was worried about Spell bothering her. For now she just sat down, somewhat forcedly, admiring Daawn from afar. That was all she was going to do, nothing more.
"So Daawn? Is it alright if I call you that?" So much for just looking. "Are your flight patterns particularly unique? Do you regenerate as often as a typical pheonix or are your regen cycles different? I assume you prefer the cold, but can you handle the heat?" The questions began to pour out of her in a steady stream.

*In the meanwhile, Spell took on herself to make all her belongings to have their rightful place.*
"Yes, it is alright." - Daawn replied slowly, thinking about something - "I don't think they are, i'm not fancy flying around showing off. I do fly fast through. I regenerate on regular basis, damage dealt to me if it's not evil or fire based regenerates. You probably referring to dying and resurrecting cycle, which happens with much older phoenixes once per year. However if i still going to suffer fatal injures, i will just resurrect in a couple of minutes. I prefer cold, yes and i can hold hear and everything regarding it to curtain degree. Fire which would harm pony would harm me more and i wouldn't be able to regenerate this damage. I have spells on cases like what, through."
Daawn replied to every question in details, she liked pleasant conversation with someone smart. She knew surprisingly many things for a newborn phoenix, but whatever.
"Daawn, since when you are a flying library?" - Spell Shock asked, only for Daawn saying something like - "Since we stayed at what old library at Starswirl place"
"Formal Starswirl's place. Now it's our secret super awesome cool house." - Spell Replied.
"So much for a secret" - Daawn sighed
//A bit of information - in our adventure we are gonna venture in old dungeon type house of Starswirl the bearded. Where is probably gonna be a library, at least i hope. Also i asked if it's okay if i will use this dungeon as a house after we done and it was positive of answer//

Twilights eyes alighted with glee. "The fabled Starswirl library!?" She hopped over a bit away from Daawn and closer to Spell. "You- you cant be serious! Nopony has known where that was for.... Ever!" She was getting excited, but she calmed herself down. "No. You have to be lying! You have to! What proof do you have?"
She then gasped at her own thought. "Where was it?" She exclaimed. "And what was there?" And just like that, she was too worried about the possibility of what secrets it held rather than its existance.

"Not so much fabled at trapped and cursed all around, actually" - Spell Shock replied slowly, thinking about it - "I knew the words protection of your property, but i mean c'mon you don't need to trap a trap on trap on top of another trap."
"It it located in Ghastly Gorge, which is a bit funny i found. I sure it was built by him for himself, but what raises so many questions i'm interested in. First of them, did he knew of this land? His age was long ago." - Daawn continued, she was curious about it too - "And we still didn't find any kind of notes in the place, just what library. Bloody maze is trapped to thieves, gladly i can fly."
"Well, anyhow let's skip talking about it, this whole topic still raises a lot of questions which i can't even think about!" - Spell Shock informed everyone in the room - "like why it was where, why in Ghastly Gorge and most of all..."
"The biggest question I've got is why you decided to live in where, in this pile of dust" - Daawn snarked to Spell Shock

Fenris had been walking slowly through the corridors of the school. He knew where he was headed so he could concentrate on observing his surroundings. The school was rather magnificent piece of architecture though he usually wasn't that interested in such things. He thought he should give Spell Shock some time to settle down before bursting into her room at the school, which explained his slow pace.
But now he had arrived at the door and as he managed to hear both Spell Shock and Daawn he didn't bother knocking and opened the door with his magic.
Once he stepped into the room he first noticed Spell Shock and Daawn on the other side of the room looking at the other side. He opened the door wider and then noticed the unicorn on the other side of the room.
"Oh, I'm sorry for intruding." He gave the unicorns and Daawn a warm smile.
"I'm Fenris Firebrand, Spell Shock's guardian so I came to check on her, though I have to admit meeting such a lovely lady is a pleasure all on it's own, might I ask your name, m'lady?" He turned his head to look at Spell Shock from the corner of his eye and there was a playful smile on his lips as he winked at unicorn mare who was apparently sharing the room with Spell Shock.

Twilight backed away from the new pony. Suddenly Twilights mind shifted gears, going from 100Km to a dead stop. She wasn't flirted with so blatantly that often, nor was she flirted with often in general. Flirting wasn't something she was familiar with, so she just tried to shrug it off, regaining her composure.
"I-im Twilight Sparkle. A pleasure to meet you, I was just talking to Spell about a few.... Things." She wasn't sure if Fenris knew about the library, and if he didn't, she wasn't sure if he should know. She was just getting over the fact a filly was trotting around such a rare find so casually as if it were a clubhouse, it didn't need any more careless ponies desecrating its legacy.
