Twilight Sparkle couldn’t believe she was doing this.

She had a dream that Discord was telling her to look up Humanity in the Forbidden Archives. While it was forbidden from all the ponies that Celestia or Luna didn’t give access or the knowledge of it to, Twilight and a few other ponies had access to it.

Why she would look up Humanity is someplace as important as the Forbidden Archives. Humanity was everywhere in Ponyville, working for Earth Ponies and Unicorns. Most Pegasi couldn’t own any because they would fall off the clouds, but those that lived on the ground often had one or two. Even Fluttershy had one that she found injured in the Everfree Forest and nursed back to health. There were medical texts and history books on the controlling of Humanity and how to best take care of one.

Interestingly, she found a diary with ‘Journal of Sir Konec Drachen Ritter’ on the cover. Remembering that Sir Ritter was the last Human to set foot in Canterlot and speak to the Princesses before Discord’s corrupting of the Human race and their defeat and conquering at the hands of the ponies. Sir Ritter’s fate was unknown, with some saying he fell at Discord’s hands, falling during the Final Battle, or turning against the Princesses in the end and being turned to stone with Discord. Certainly all that remained of his existence in the Equestri world was his sword, his statue and his diary.

Opening the diary revealed a parchment that had been stuck into the front page. It said:

This diary was found along with 30 Human females and a few weapons, 72 months after the entombing of Discord.

This diary is to be kept in the Forbidden Archives and anypony that reads this is to be sworn into secrecy of the 1st order.

If this knowledge gets out of royal hands, then Humanity might revolt again and this time we might lose.

No one should ever see this!

- Princess Luna

“Princess Luna?” Twilight Sparkle whispered, confused.

The knowledge of Humanity you have fought for is all lies. Discord had told her. If you want to know the truth,then look for a diary under the name Konec Ritter.

Who knew that Discord was telling the truth? Something about this diary seemed ominous, from the fact that the diary was bound in Dragonhide, to the fact that Discord told her to look for the diary.

But the fact that one of the Princesses had written that the diary should never be seen by anypony, ever seemed to give some truth to the matter. She decided that the risks were worth it, and her historian’s urges had been brought to the fore. She placed the diary in her saddlebags and left the archives with her usual stack of books.

Its time to see what is so dire that the Princess themselves forbade the reading of the diary.


Author's Note

This is my first story on this site, and I would love constructive criticism! I have written before, but they were series on several wikis and weren't MLP.
