Minds Me : Inside the Mind of Me

Upon opening the wooden door, we were all very surprised to what we saw in front of us. For what seemed like miles in every direction, there was books everywhere! As far as the pegasi eye could see, just books. It was so amazing to gaze upon the wealth of knowledge in each tome. The smell that graced us brought back so many memories of my early foalhood in Canterlot.

I walked over to a nearby shelf, taking a look at a few of them. "Dragonforce? Generation Gaming? Green Day? Linkin Park?" I turned to Luna. "What do you think they are?"

She pointed up above me. "There is a sign that says, 'Bands'. Perhaps they create some of the music he listened to while he was still on his world?" Luna turned to the shelf next to her. "This one reads 'Favorite Locations'. I do not know how this is wisdom like the door had said Twilight."

"That's because you're just at the beginning, and do not see the power within each word you see." We heard an old voice. There was the sounds of steps getting closer. As the creator of the voice turned around a corner, we saw it was an old looking human. His eyes were two purple orbs that glowed softly. The robe he was wearing was long, nearly dragging across the ground with some steps. It was colored a dark red, and a leather belt was tied around his waist that had a gold belt buckle. "Princess Twilight Sparkle, Princess Luna Everfree, Dame Fluttershy, and Lady Apple Jack. Welcome."

Luna looked at the old human male and studied him. "Who are you, and tell us how you know our names."

He bowed politely then nodded. "My name, or title is Thaemis, keeper of books. I know your names because we all do. You are quite famous, and Michael looks up to each one of you." Thaemis snapped his fingers and a book flashed into his hands. Opening it, he cleared his throat. " 'Entry twenty-six -' " He read aloud. " '-Today, Fluttershy gave me enough bits to buy a home, and I am still trying to save up enough to pay her back for her kindness. I don't care how much she denies it, I will make sure she keeps it. I didn't earn the money she gave me. Ah-well, it's time to go see Apple Jack about getting that job at her orchard. I'm not as good as her, but I'm sure a little extra help will go a long way. ' As you can see or hear, he does."

"That still doesn't explain who you are!" Luna snorted. "Tell us!"

Thaemis sighed. "Princess Luna... If you wish to know the truth, then why did you come here first? Why not see Odara where you will get your answers? I am but the keeper of books, and knowledge."

"Please tell us?" Fluttershy asked. "Tell us why you're here in his mind."

"Because I am part of his mind. One-fifth to be exact. I came around when he needed help learning. Always had trouble, I'm just doing what I was born to do."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

Thaemis huffed. "Enough questions. I was researching magic before you four intruded......But fine. If you must know, I will only tell you one thing. He suffers from many years of pain."

I took a step towards him. "Please sir! We only wish to help Michael get better! Perhaps you can share some wisdom as to who you are more?"

Thaemis sighed and waved a hand. "Fine, only because I no longer wish to remain inside as a broken part, but a whole instead." He snapped his fingers and a table with chairs appeared. "I cannot tell you more about Michael ponies, but I may speak for myself. I am his spiritual side, the side that basks in wisdom of the gods and goddesses above all else. I believe I was born when he was still breaking apart, and wished to still study magic."

"I thought he said that magic didn't exist back in his world? Did he lie?"

"Yes and no, Twilight." He replied with a frown. "Magic, or so believed is the energy that is around everyone. However, this is wrong. The reason that this is, because magic is actually a metaphysical, logical, and sentient force that can only be accessed by those who have the signature of a god or goddess within their DNA."

Apple Jack put her hoof to her head and shook it. "Ugh...you sound like Twi, Mr. Thaemis."

He chuckled and nodded. "As to why he respects her so. Anyways, Michael is a descendant and reincarnation of many generations of witches that were born from the goddess that isn't mentioned in the Christian Holy Book. It is believed also that there was a goddess rather than just a single god that created man and women. Which is wrong, because where else did He get the idea of a woman's body? Why do female humans have breasts, why do they have vaginas and ovaries? Only descendants of this goddess could cast the same magic the holy son of their God could and so on they did."

Luna whistled. "Is this true though?"

Thaemis shrugged. "I am unsure Princess Luna. He believes that there are many gods and goddesses because he doesn't think that there can only be just a small number or only one that has the ability to create everything. And he knows for a fact that nothing has absolute power as such as absolutes are only mere idealistic concepts of perfection. Perfection cannot be reached, as such, logically, only more than just a few can create all that there is and will be. Nothing can control fate but the beings who are wise enough to not break apart the universe and reassemble it."

Even my head was starting to hurt now. I rubbed it gently, trying to ease it. "Sorry if I hurt your minds. It is just what I have learned, and how I view things. Logic is sound."

"I-it's not that sir....It's just...we're trying to figure out a way to help Michael."

"One more hint, then I think you should go." He stood up and sighed. "Words, even the most simplistic of them, have more power within them than one could even think it could have. Speak carefully to my brothers and sister."

Luna stood up and nodded. "Thank you for your wise words. I understand them."

He raised a brow and smirked. "I do not mean to question a goddess, Princess Luna, but are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Than that is that. Good luck in healing him. I suggest speaking to Odara next. She is logical, and will give clearer answers."

"Thank you once again." I smiled softly.
