As I stepped out of the train the sun glared blinding me for a moment. Shaking it off I continued on my path ignoring the giant statue of a baby dragon. I continued on my path entering the place doors. A rather uptight looking royal guard stood guard. “State your business.” He stated rather bluntly.

“I’m here about the job.” I told him.

He rolled his eyes “There's a lot of job offers. Ya better tell me which one or I won’t let you in.” He said clearly annoyed.

“The librarian position.” I hastily spat out.

The guard chucked. “Aren't you a little young?”

“I’m not young just small.” I told him annoyed myself. I hated being called young above all else.

“I really hope you're as old as you say you are.” He said opening the door.

I walked in the throne room taking in all the sights, but was quickly distracted by the pretty alicorn on the throne. I noticed the blue and white unicorn sitting next to a moment later. If the throne room was a painting he would be an after thought I thought.

“Hello my little pony.” The pretty alicorn said.

“Hello your Majestys.” I said a little nervously.

“What brings you here?” She asked

“A job.” I answered hastily. Floating out a newspaper clipping. Her magic covered mine floating the clipping in front of her face.

“Wanted a new royal librarian; ponies who can bind books are appreciated.” She read. “So you want to be our new royal librarian. Can you bind books?” She asked a little frazzled. It was clear she was having problems filling the position.

“Yes I can. Would you like to see your Majesty?” I asked.

“Yes I would love to!” She explained.

I floated out a book from my saddle bag “It's not my best work but I hope you like it.” I told her. Once more her magic covered mine gently taking the book out of my magical grip. She brought it up to her face examining it gently. Flipping through the pages she exclaimed “Shining! look at this! Its so pretty!”

He nodded and then said something about her being more pretty than some silly book. She blushed. “Miss … Umm I never got your name.”

“Little Ink my name is Little Ink.” I told her.

“Miss little Ink you're hired. I’ll have some movers bring your things to the place and one of my guards will show you to your new room. Shinning do you have anyone in mind?” She asked floating my book back to me.

Shining the after thought seemed to consider it then he said “Flash Sentry can show her the way.” A orange pegasus showed up smiling he said. “Follow me Miss Ink.” I quickly followed him in the direction which I assumed was the library. He stopped short turning sharply to the left then the right then once more to the left.

“Here it is.” He pushed open a door with a hove. “I hope you like it here.” He walked in removing a book from a bookshelf. A bookshelf next to it swag open revealing a staircase. “This is the staircase to your room. Don't worry you can reset the password thing so I and the other guards can't get in but you gotta tell one of us; security reasons. Got it?” I nodded. “Good I’ll let you settle in.”

I did settle in and the next day my things arrived true to the princesses promise. I quickly tipped Derpy a few extra bits. Before unloading my things. Books many many books. I levitated a large stack. Trotting over to a near by desk I set them down then returned repeating the same process another time. I set the books stacks on top of the original then returned to my work. Telekinetic rapping the last stack in my magic. I was nearly halfway across the room when a angry pegasus pony screamed at me making my magic implode and my stack drop to the floor. “HEY! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING DROPPING RANDOM THINGS OUT A WINDOW!” He screamed at me.

My ears folded back against my head as I spoke in a small voice. “I’m sorry it was an accident.”

This seemed to enrage the nameless pegasus even more “AN ACCIDENT!” He screamed. He then threw the book he was holding at me it hit me square in the face. “I’m sorry it was accident.” He smiled picking up some more books throwing them at me. My hooves flung in the air trying to protect my face. To be honest it was quite scary. I never was very good at shield magic so there was no point in putting a shield up. I felt rather small as this angry pony attacked me. I hated myself “I hate being weak why can I do anything?” I thought as I cried.

The pegasus picked up another of my books smiling and winding up for a swing launching the book in the air. I braced for impact but it never happened. Opening one of my eyes slowly I looked to see the book levitating by unicorn magic. “Are you alright?” a gentle voice asked me looking up I was able to identify the unicorn who the magic belonged to. The unicorn had a least a kind heart I decided. “I’m fine thanks.” I stated. Not trying to draw attention to myself.

“No your not fine.” He told me. “Your bruised at least if not worse.” He said. He then sat the book down looking me over, checking for bruises. Against my will a sob ripped through my throat. This caught the stallions attention. He quickly stopped his inspection wiping away my tears.I could see him clearly now; to say it in a word he was a quite handsome stallion. His coat was a dusty gray color his hair a pleasing sandy color. From what was poking out of his helmet. The thing that caught my eyes were well his eyes. Apple green it seemed to suit him. “Now don’t cry OK? He will apologize and make it up to you. Alright?”
