The Elements of Chaos Book II Return of Chaos Daddy Discord

After talking all night the girls new the sun was going to rise any minute. "I say we should just get you out now! We can just break you out of the garden." Discorded Swirls said. She was trying to find a way to free Discord. "But how would we release him from stone?" Cotton Feathers asked. Discorded tried to think. "Um.....well......we could always......just....I got nothing." Moonlight said. "We could just look in the library at the castle." Everyone looked at her. "How do you know there is a library in the castle?" Chocolate Pie asked. "I spy on Celestia and Luna a lot. It's not like I have anything else to do." Crazed Candy replied. "Okay, but how would we even get in? Where is this library?" Moonlight used her magic to make glowing lines connect to form a picture of the caste Luna and Celestia lived in. "The castle is in the Everfree Forest, in the castle on the second floor there is a large room where they store hundreds of books. Some sections of the library even have books filled with many spells. Of we all go while they are asleep, maybe we could find something." Star Dim looked at her and said, "I don't see any harm in trying. Besides maybe we could find useful things there." Then Discord began to disappear. "The sun is almost up. I have to go. But I'll see you all to tonight." Moonlight gave him a hug before everything vanished.

Moonlight woke up slowly. She looked behind her and saw Discord's statue. She heard ponies coming so she got up and quickly flew away. She flew all the way back to her house and quickly grabbed her saddlebags. They were a midnight blue with her cutie mark on it. Then she quickly flew out of her house and in through the window of the room Discord gave her. Since most of her things were there she decided to grab a few things she would need for tonight. When she had everything she laid on her bed and slowly curled up. The blankets were so warm and everything felt so soft. Slowly she fell asleep, she was going to be awake half the night and did not want to be too tired.

They all stood in front of the Everfree Forest. "I'm going in." Discorded Swirls said. She opened her wings and raced in. Cotton Feathers and Chocolate Pie followed. Then Crazed and Star Dim joined. Moonlight looked at the forest and slowly walked in. "This forest is very pretty." Cotton Feathers said. "Indeed it is. The plants are lovely I just wish it was less dirty and full of mud." Crazed Candy rolled her eyes and said, "Well that's how nature is. Now we need to get to the castle so Moonlight lead the way." Moonlight trotted up ahead and led them through the forest. Eventually they came to the castle. They slowly walked in through the door and went up a flight of stairs. "I know it's around here somewhere." Moonlight said as she looked at all the doors they passed. Then they came to a large door. Moonlight pushed it open and they all walked in. They came into a room filled with books and scrolls. "Wow! Look at all these books this place is amazing! It's bigger then I remember it!" Moonlight said. Before she had met Discord and her friends she would spend hours in her room reading hundreds of books. It was the only thing she could do to pass time. But after she met Discord, there was no more need for books. She could experience everything her books had said. Now that she was in here she could now read thousands of books kept in one library. "Alright everypony split up. If you find anything let me know." They all took separate paths and looked at different shelves filled with books and old scrolls. Moonlight looked at all the books and eventually she came to an area that was blocked by a gate. She used her magic to open it and walked inside. This room was smaller but it was filled with very old scrolls and an old desk at the front. She sat down at the desk and used her magic to being each scroll and book to her one by one. Many of them were filled with old spells and ancient writings left by older unicorns. Eventually she came to a dusty scroll that had been stained with ink spots. She slowly unrolled it and found inside a spell written by a unicorn named Golden Quill. It was a spell that could reverse any kind of enchantment or spell put on something. Moonlight wanted to test it to see if it worked. She found a blank scroll on the ground and raised it with her magic then she caused it to catch fire. Bursting into flames. She looked at the ashes on the desk then she looked at the spell. She aimed her magic at the pile of ashes and cast the spell. Slowly the ashes began to lift into the air. They began to fit together and transformed into a scroll again. She wanted to try it on something bigger. She looked around the room and spotted and old globe sitting in the corner of the room. She fired a beam from her horn causing the globe to break into many pieces. Then she cast the spell again. The pieces moved and slowly came together and globe was fixed. Moonlight left the desk and looked around at more books. She found a few that looked interesting and used her magic to bring them off the shelves and dropped them lightly into her saddlebag. She found some scrolls and quills she figured she could read and use and put those in her saddlebags as well. Then she stopped. In the middle of the room was an old table with a candle on it. The candle was being held by a beautiful silver candleholder. She slipped both of them in her saddlebags, grabbed the spell she needed and left the small room. If she ever went to the library again, she wanted to visit that same room. It was quiet and special to her.

Moonlight found her friends still looking through all the books on the shelves. When they saw her come out Cotton Feathers asked in a sweet voice, "Did you find anything Moony? None of us have. Or at least not a spell." Moonlight noticed that most of her friends had filled their saddlebags with scrolls and books they had found. Moonlight raised up the scroll she found and said, "I found just the right spell. Do you have everything." Star Dim said, "I believe we all have something except for Discorded Swirls." Moonlight looked at the grey pegasus and said, "Don't you want something from the library?" Discorded shook her head. "Reading is not really my thing. No offense to all you eggheads." Everypony laughed. Moonlight caught sight of a book she had read when she was just a filly. She brought it in front of her and said, "At least try this one. I think you will like it." Discorded looked at the book and read the title. "Daring Do and the Legend of the Lost Temple. Usually I wouldn't but I'll try it just this once." After they had all left the library Moonlight went back to her room. She put the books and scrolls she took from the library and put them in a drawer. Then she flew into Discord's room. It was so quiet and even though all the furniture was still there, the room felt empty. After a while she flew back into her bedroom. She worked on the reversing spell for a while. And she slowly grew tired, she still could not stop thinking about the library. What other secrets did it hold? And what knowledge remained in those books? Slowly Moonlight fell asleep.
