She walked over to him while all the other ponies stood silently watching. She felt very nervous.

“I understand you led a group to find the seaponies last night,” he said.

She took a step back. “How did you know?”

“I have many animals in the forest and the grounds who keep track of my students. They report everything to me. So, is it true?”

Looking down, Daisy nodded. “We wanted to see if the seaponies were real.”

“And?” he asked.

“They are,” Daisy said, certain she was about to get in trouble—in front of everyone.

“Daisy found a place to see them without leaving the school grounds,” Skydancer explained.

“And she sang to them and they came up to the top of the water!” Razzle added.

“I know. My animal caretakers told me,” the headmaster said.

“Really?” Skydancer asked.

“I have eyes and ears everywhere,” he said.

“Are you mad, sir?” Daisy asked.

He smiled. “Not at all. Students from every new class want to catch a glimpse of the seaponies, and they usually try to leave school grounds to do it. However, they are always stopped by my caretakers before they do. But you, Daisy, you found the spot where you could observe them without leaving the grounds. And you got them to rise. You have to be special to do that.” He winked at her.

“Thank you, sir,” she said softly. Even if she wasn’t in trouble, it was embarrassing to be the center of attention!

“Now everyone, back to your studies,” Headmaster Elegius said. “The royal children will be touring the school in a few weeks.”

The ponies scampered over to the group of students on the field, but Daisy hung back. The headmaster’s announcement was a surprise. She never imagined she’d see the royal children so soon. Would she know her Glitter Gift by then?

“Come on, Daisy!” Skydancer shouted.

Daisy trotted over to join the others.

After going through more tests and drills, another one of the ponies discovered he could lift water out of a puddle and swirl it around with his horn. It was a neat gift, but now, it was just Daisy and Stone waiting to discover what they could do. Stone didn’t look any happier than Daisy felt.
