Trials of an Outsider

Perspective: Galaxy Wave

"I guess that's enough studying for tonight," I thought to myself while closing Star Swirl's textbook he left me to use. I tend to study too long which is a bad habit of mine. Which reminds me of a certain princess I know.

Looks like somepony's at the door, I wonder who it could be?

"Alright, you can come in," I called out while looking at my notebook, "There's no need to bang my door down."

"Sorry about that Galaxy," came the soft voice of Nebula, "I didn't know you were here."

"It's alright my love," I reassured her, "So, what do you need?" She went to her saddle bag and pulled out an old looking book. "Is that what I think it is?" I asked.

"It is," she replied, "It's Star Swirl's old journal."

"You're kidding me, right?" I asked, "This isn't one of Tornado Wind's pranks to get me out of my studies again, is it?"

"If it was, then why is there an inscription gesturing to you that only you can open this book," she said, pointing to the words at the bottom of the page.

"Okay then," I said, staggering back a bit, "This is his personal journal. So, what does it tell me to do?" I looked at the words and they said:

Focus you magic, and your magic alone, for there's a warning that must be shown.

"Warning?" I said, "I wonder what he meant."

"Well, let's find out!" Nebula exclaimed, "Use your magic and open it."

I looked at the book and thought, would this be a good idea though? What if something were to happen and neither the elements nor I can stop it? I shook my head, it's probably just a written warning. I closed my eyes and focused my magic on the book. It was surrounded in my magic and with a spark from my horn, the book opened to show a light projecting from it. Then, like something out of a sci-fy book, the light started talking, in the voice of Star Swirl.

"Galaxy, if you are listening to this, it means that I'm long gone from this world and now watching you along side Faust," the light started, "Listen to what I'm about to tell you. soon at the next full moon, a portal will open to bring us the savior of Equestria. A dark force is coming, and not even the elements alone can stop it. It is imperative that you alert Princess Celestia immediately about this threat and tell her to prepare for a war." Just as quickly it appeared, it disappeared into thin air.

"What was that all about?" Nebula asked.

"I don't know, but whatever's coming, it's not good," I replied, "Plus this 'savior' is apparently really important."

"What do we do?"

"We warn the princess, and prepare for the worst,"I said, looking at the book. I hope you're right on this one, master.
