The Truth

When I was pretty

Previous Chapter

Twilight entered her castle looking at the saddlebag. She’s not sure why this book couldn’t be seen by anypony. The thoughts inside this book must be important, or else Twilight would have known about this sooner. Twilight trotted fast to make sure Spike wouldn’t be able to catch up with her. She hoped that he wouldn’t find out about the book; she didn’t know how long until Spike found out. She had to be like Cadence; then again she doesn’t have the book. “Wait up Twilight!” Spike called,

“Um Spike, could you leave me in my room alone?” Twilight asked,

“But, we always hang out together.”

“How about you go see if AJ needs any help with the farm.”

“Okay.”

Spike left the room. He was obviously very sad that he couldn’t hang out with Twilight. This killed Twilight. She hated to see him sad. She hated to see anypony sad, in fact. She hated to hurt other ponies. Emotionally and physically. She pulled the book out of her saddlebag. She looked at the cover. Twilight still couldn’t believe that Celestia gave this book to her; it used to belong to her parents. Wouldn’t she want to keep this, Twilight thought? To make sure, the book worked Twilight thought of herself then opened the book. She flipped through the pages and saw all of her thoughts. She flipped to the last page to find her thought of making sure this book worked written down.

“Well, this works,” Twilight said to herself, “This book is a little stalkerish, I wonder if Celestia used this for me.”

That made Twilight shiver a little; thinking about the thought is just plain creepy. Being watched whenever Celestia wanted, again plain creepy. Twilight closed the book cover then thought of whom to research about. This made Twilight think, am I becoming a stalker? Na this is just for research. She thought of all of her foes and all of the ancestors of Equestria. Then she had an idea. She thought of a demon, a creature that was so hideous she couldn’t be able even to look at it. She focused hard then opened the book. She flipped through the pages. The pictures and diary entries did not look or sound like the pony she was looking for.

Twilight soon just decided to read one of the diary entries. The page was unlike most of the pages. It was barely burnt as if somepony hated this page. She looked at the burnt marks, there were unlike any burnt mark she had ever seen. This was no ordinary burnt mark; this page was burned by magic. Twilight started to read the entree.

May 9th 1989,

Today I shall hate Celestia for forever. I will never look at that beast even if somepony paid me over a billion bits. Celestia isn’t all that she seems. She is ruthless, cruel, and everything that screams evil. She will never be our friend again. She lost an ally, and for not being there for us she gained an enemy. We will no longer eat the hate of Equestria.

Twilight stopped. She read the diary entree a couple more times before she remembered something. She remembered the big book Luna gave her. The book had to have something that could give Twilight some more info on this. She remembered that Mason had the big book. She had to get it from him. Twilight teleported out of the room, and into her throne room. She saw her six thrones. She looked at her own, then Pinkie’s, AJ’s, Flutters, Rarity’s, and then she saw a blue Pegasus sitting on Rainbow’s throne. Rainbow Dash was sitting on her throne reading a magazine. The magazine had the wonderbolts on the cover. “Hey Twi!” she cheered while flipping a page,

“Rainbow what are you doing here?”

“Just reading an article about the Wonderbolts. They hired some new recruits and I have to know the names and everything about them.”

“Why?”

“If I know more about them, and if I ever meet them we can become friends, and that would boost my chances of being a Wonderbolt. I would also get some more famous friends!”

“You’d think you’ve had enough famous friends when your friends with three alicorn princesses and best friends with the fourth.”

“The more the merrier!”

“Well, Dash could you please leave, I am doing some stuff for the Princess.”

“Which one? There’s like four … or something like that, I always forget.”

“Celestia! No wonder you got kicked out of that flying camp thing.”

“It was flight school, and I only got kicked out because I was too fast!”

“Right. Look can you just leave please.”

“Derpy’s in you Castle.”

“No she’s,” Twilight said until she turned around to see Derpy with box on her head running to a wall, “Okay I need to improve my guards.”

“Fine, fine Derpy and I will leave” Rainbow Dash moaned while picking up Derpy, or “Box Pony” and going back to her place. Twilight watched them leave her castle, then dashed to find Mason. She looked through the castle, but only found everypony but Mason. She soon found him commanding some other guards through the halls of the palace.

“Mason do you have my book?”

“What book?”

“The book Luna gave to me.”

“Oh, that book, no I put it in the throne room.”

“That’s wired when I was in the throne room I didn’t see the book.”

“I swear I put it on a throne with a lightning bolt on it,”

“Oh Celestia.”

“Yeah somepony came in and said that she would take care of it.”

“Ugh! Rainbow you idiot!”

“What’s wrong did she steal it?”

“No I don’t know what she did to it, but she must have forgotten about it while she was reading her Wonderbolt magazine.”

“Oh, shall I go fetch it for you?”

“No, I got this, she would probably assault you if you came. Yes, she did that one time.”

Twilight left the castle to look for her book Luna gave her. She still didn’t really know what the book was about, but she was sure that it had to be important. She flew through Ponyville to find that Rainbow and Derpy at Sugar Cube Corner with Pinkie Pie. To Twilight’s surprise, she saw Rainbow looking at the book Luna gave her.

“Look Pinkie … and Box Pony, this book has all sorts of history in it.”

“Lots of books have history in it Dash, their called history books for a reason.”

“Yeah, but this one is different, I’ve never heard of this stuff before.”

“Like what?”

“Well, this chapter is about.”

“Rainbow! Hey, Rainbow please may I have my book back?” Twilight called,

“Oh, hey Twilight sure!” Rainbow Dash said. She gave Twilight back the book and watched Pinkie jump around again.

“Thanks, Rainbow” Twilight cheered as she headed back to her castle. She almost blew her cover. If she had Princess Celestia would have never forgiven her. She would have died! Twilight hoped that Rainbow doesn’t remember anything from that book. When Twilight got back to her castle she went back to studying. She looked at the big book. Rainbow had said something about unknown history when she read the book, so this had to be some sort of history book. She flipped through the pages of the book and saw the page she was looking for.

Changelings.

Changeling photo

She looked at a picture of them, and they really didn’t look like they do now. She was very surprised to see this picture. She read the text aloud, “Changelings: special, beautiful ponies that can change into anypony they want. Queen Galaxy rules the changeling kingdom, and the kingdom is located in a different dimension. With the acceptance of Princess Celestia, the changelings are able to go to Equestria and feed off of the hatred and evil of Equestria to make it a better place. The changelings will transform into a regular pony and help the sad and evil.”

Well, if the changelings were good, then why are they bad now, Twilight thought? She picked up the white book with her magic and read the rest of the diary entree.

The ponies of Equestria will no longer have our assistance. I am not sure why, but one day our kingdom faced a massive destruction. Just … well … BAM! Out of nowhere my kingdom heard a big boom and the earth started to shake. It wasn’t an earthquake for sure. I just don’t know what it was. It was so big, so … so powerful. I had never seen anything like it, but worst of all it is hurting my kingdom. My ponies are now weak and have no power anymore. They barely have enough power to shape shift.

When I asked Princess Celestia to assist us with this dilemma, she turned away and said no! She actually turned us down! After all, we did for her! This … this … tyrant told us that if she sends ponies through the portal to our dimension it could rip the fabric of space and time, and everypony would be in danger! Hers and mine. But this is un-pony! Why would she do that to us?

We will no longer assist her for anything ever again. We will no longer eat the hate of Equestria, instead we have found something better. Something taister, easier to find, something more desirable. Love. Pure love. With the love of Equestria, we will be able to rebuild our lost kingdom, and without love in Equestria it will fall into ashes and pain. Nopony will be able to survive there, and they will come to our fabulous kingdom! Everything will be perfect once again.

The lost kingdom will return.
