An Outer Perspective

       "So, Twilight, what can I do to let you trust me?" Wren leaned against one of the library walls.

       "Wren, I swear, you really wouldn't understand." Twilight answered.

       "So you aren't looking for a book titled, 'Daring Do and The Sapphire Stone'?" Wren asked.

       "How did you-"

       "We're a very advanced species." Wren then proceeded to open a small portal next to her. She stuck her hand through, grabbed something, and handed the book to Twilight.

       "Under your bed, along with some very interesting stuff, you dirty pony." Wren giggled.

       "Fine, have you seen Spike?" Twilight asked.

       "He's at Sugarcube Corner, trying to talk Pinkie into giving him another cupcake."

       "Fine if you're so psychic, what am I thinking?" Twilight asked.

       "It doesn't work like that, but if you must know what I'm thinking..." Wren took a sip of water, opened a portal, and dumped the remaining on Twilight's head.

       "You prankster. Why don't you tell me about yourself?" Twilight sat down next to Wren.

       "Well, what is there to know?" Wren asked.

       "Tell me about your family."

       "Well, I have a big brother, a little brother, and a twin brother. My Mom died finishing my orb." Wren said.

       "Your what?"

       "Well you see, my kind is kind of born through orbs. Usually, one of our parents will sacrifice one of their sides, light or dark, while also giving a bit of their other side. These orbs are to set off at a random time. and a parent is usually there to help it. I came from a twin orb, which gives two instead of one."

       "Please, tell me more." Twilight smiled.
