Snow coverd the land as Celestia walked, Her hooves sunk into the white field, leaving a hole in the cold and desolate place. She glanced behind her, watching Luna, and Twilight treck. Celestia returned her gaze infront of them, Feeling unsure in the desolate enviorment. As far as she could tell nopony had been to this place in centuries, She could barely make out the rotting houses more than a mile away. Even at the pace they were going it'd take a few hours to reach.

Origanally Celestia was opposed to Twilite joining them on this journy, but she wouldn't stop insisting. So with a heavy heart she, Luna, and Twilight carried out a very prestigouise task. They were to find the village of lost time and recover as many books on Ancient magic as nessacery. This whole accident started around the time Celestia banished Nightmare Moon, This Aura hung around after she was gone. Celestia beleived it was her imagination and left it be, Which was her first mistake. Soon after the defeat of Lord Tirek Twilight was ambushed in the night, nearly killed by a unknown assalient.

After the reports came in of similer attacks, Celestia realized her mistake, and now she paid dearly for it. He was regaining power and wasn't going to stop until a army of demon like ponys knocked on the castle door.

"P-princess C-Celestia" Twilights teeth chatterd as she trugged through the snow, focasing on the village infront of them, If anypony was passing out on this trip. It would not be her.

"Yes Twilight?" She replied in a calm voice, and a bold stature, But Twilight could see she was scared. Her mane shook as she spoke, and she glanced nervously to the sides often.

"What exactly are we facing? You never told me whats going on!" Twilight paced her breathing, keeping her head clear.

"A long thought dead pony who weilds Ancient magic. He once Terrorized the world, but our parents put a end to his rein more than a Millenium ago" Celestia picked up the pace, forcing Luna and Twilight to scramble behind her.

"It appears he has returned to seak revenge for what our parents did" Luna chipped in, Making Twilight shudder from more than the cold.

They didn't notice the village untill it was right ontop them. as they trotted through the town, broken windows and burnt roofs stood out like a sore thumb, Giving the lost village a eeiry aura. Many shadows seemed to move along with them, and the very town it self lacked brightness and color. They kept walking toward a giant tower, with snow and wing howling around the sturdy structure.

Upon reaching it's door, Celestia's horn began to glow a yellow color. On the door there were 6 locks, and as twilight investigaed them, Celestia pulled a key from her saddle bag, levitating it to the lock at the very top. As the key twisted in the lock the door shuddered, and opened with a loud squeek. Celestia cast a light from her horn and ventured inside the desolet tower, Followed by a confused Twilight and Luna.

"If you only need one key, why are there so many locks on the door" Twilight asked, her voice echoing throughout the halls. The darkness enveloped them like a blanket.

"It's a simple juke, ment to unnerve those who would use this libery for evil deeds." Celestia led the way through the tower. They climbed many stairs and even had to back track once, But finally they made it to the libery. Candles lit themselves upon their entry, Twilight let a Gasp escape her lips, rows upon rows of frail old looking books were stacked up to the ceiling, which was atleast 10 meters high. The room was shapped like a circle and in the middle sat a creeky looking table. A chandilier hung from the ceiling rocking gently back and forth and casting shadows everywhere it could. The butterflys in Twilights stomache disapeared as she examined every inch of the room. This was by far the biggest libery in all of Equestria.

"Remeber Luna, Twilight these books are here because they are to dangerous, we only take what we need" Celestia's calm and quite voice filled the room, and Twilight immidiatly began looking through the nearest books, levitating them with her horn. Astronomy, Biology, Even Basic Physics were listed here, Each looked older than the last. There were enough books to last Twilight her life. LOoking up at the towering bookshelf, she saw a lone book on the very top, it's cover worn and coverd in dust. Using her wings, she brought herself up to the book and began reading it while it floated in midair

"Princess Celestia, is this what we're looking for?" Twilight motioned the book towards her fellow princess, and Celestia took a glance at it's cover Nodding.

"This should be it, Luna and i have found some other tomes regarding the Ancient magic aswell, did you bring some books as i requested?" Celestia levitated the book into her saddle bag as Twilight nodded her head, brining some books from her saddlebag

"I'm sorry but i have to ask you give them up. This tower will not let us leave with knowledge if we do not give knowledge in return" Twilight nodded and placed the books on shelves acording to there subject, then flew down and stood by the two princesses.

They turned and began to walk out of the Ancient libery, and Twilight gave on last long look to the books. She wish she could stay longer, but Cadance needed her help, and so she had to leave. They walked through the town, and began the long treck home, hoping they wern't to late with this important knowledge.
