"Over one hundred years ago , up in the great palace in Canterlot, there lived to great princesses. The eldest sister of the Sun, Celestia, was known for her acts of kindness and her habit of being loyal and regal. Her young sister of the Moon, Luna, sat and marinated in her shadow, forever harboring an envy for recognition that her sister seemed to hoard. Every day, Luna would go to her room and do nothing more than cry. She would cry for hours in front of a mysterious artifact, The Alicorn Mirror.  This mirror was said to absorb all of Luna's sadness and hatred, containing it and keeping it hidden away to relieve the tension of its master.  However, its efforts were futile. The sister of the Moon lashed out, turning into a spawn of darkness and hatred that the mirror was supposed to withheld. The mirror held the reflection of a broken, saddened Luna forever... As well as an evil and wrath incarnated one. After Celestia had banished Luna, who at the time was known as Nightmare Moon, many had inspected the lunar princesses room to see what could have set the rebellious princess off. They soon discovered the mirror. They also discovered that anypony who looked into it would be hunted and eventually killed by the very hatred and sadness they hold within them. It was then that Starswirl The Bearded took it upon himself to hide the mirror away to protect the kingdoms last remaining princess. No one knows where the great wizard hid the mirror but it is cautioned to never go looking for it. Those who do will experience a Hell greater than life itself. "

"Geez, Twilight..." Spike said, shivering underneath the purple alicorn's tail.  " Do you think that the mirror really existed...?"

" I can't say for sure, Spike." Twilight replied, shutting the nearly emasculated book she levitated before her with her pink-ish magic. Using her telekinesis abilities, she placed the book back on the rotting wood of the old shelves on the bookcase. The pair had come here to do some extra research of the Old Sister Castle that Twilight and her friends had some to a long while ago and discovered this book. Twilight couldn't place a hoof on why the book stood out to her. It looked burnt and most of the pages were gone. It seemed like someone was trying to hide this secret...

" I know one thing. We are never saying anything about the Alicorn Mirror to ANYONE. The last thing we need is ponies disappearing."

" Right. My mouth is zipped shut! Snapped tight! Caged closed! Glued-"

" I get it, Spike!" Twilight glared at him yet smiled, acknowledging his effort to get some attention. The purple alicorn raised a hoof to cover her mouth as she yawned, blinking her eyes lazily a few times.

" Well, Spike. Let's go home. We've done enough searching tonight." The purple dragon beside her nodded, leaping onto the alicorn's back and holding on tight as she trotted home. However, the princess felt a need to go back and read that book again. It was calling to her for some reason. Luckily, she was able to ignore it's calls, continuing to trot back home with the sleepy dragon on her back.
