The Pony and the shadows

        After a long day and a bit of a fight, one Epic could handle easily, he was feeling very tired. So when he was given a room at a local hotel for free, he jumped right on it, no seriously he took the key after jumping on it, reson? 'Cos he could... Don't ask...

"Ah... A nice proper nights sleep... No... Not yet... Must look at stars...!" Epic said tiered-like (don't bug me on that I know it's lazy).

"Night owl huh?" Gilia said surprising Epic.

"GAH!!! Don't do that!" Epic complained.

"Aww... Cute little pony, scared of the dark?" Gilia teased.

"No. Just very easy scared by things coming out of nowhere!" Epic whined. (Is that how it's spelled?)

"Aww didumse!" Gilia said in a baby voice.

"... Shut up..." Epic stated.

"Should I get a nappy for you? Do you want a dummy?" (Baby sucky thing (I said that because I can.)) Gilia set Epic off, Epic growled at her befor striking her out of pure rage, Gilia didn't expect that reaction and thought it would be safer to hide than strike the agrovated pegasus, so she tried to do that but he was much faster than he looked, she was captured instantly.

"Don't ever talk to me like that again, got it?!" He yelled though gritted teeth, "GOT IT?!"

"Yes sir," Gilia replied quickly, "it won't happen again sir!"

"Calm down Epic just calm down..." Epic said, making Gilia look at him, he let her go and Gilia notest he looked like he was about to cry, making her feel bad about what she said and did.

"Gilia Galia, the town is finished with the repairs what should we do now?" A pony asked.

"You ponies are very dedicated to your construction, but it's the middle of the night! Get to bed!" Gilia said.

"Yes sir, ma'am, sir-ma'am!" He said and yawned after he spoke. Huh.

"Wow the stars are so much more pretty! I like this place," Epic said quietly, "the calm nights the cool air and the night sky, all something you should enjoy before bed. Night!"

"Oh, err, night!" Gilia said in an awkward way.

Epic woke up and looked at the room he was sleeping in the bed was a queen size bed put next to the balcony. Across from the bed was a closet and to his right was the door to the hotel room.

"I'm really in a hotel, in a different, foreign country... Hmm... I'm still not used to the way things work. I'll just have to get used to it. But she said I'm from a land of corruption... I still don't know what to think, but I think it's got something to do with my banishment... I'm going to have to resurch this. So first order of business is find a library!" Epic though aloud.

"Epic, why are you talking to yourself?" Gilia asked through the door.

"Because I can!" Epic stated.

"Epic Pony, I have a message for you," a stallion's voice said.

"Come in! And bring Gilia with you," Epic replied.

"Here is the letter sir," the pink guy-pony said and made it so Epic razed an eyebrow, "you can laugh sir."

"Why would I laugh? I'm not mean, I like to mess with others minds I don't laugh at others coat colour," Epic said. (I'm English sue me, not really).

"Thank you sir," he said as he turned to leave.

"So why did you want to see me?" Gilia said.

"Because I want directions to the tr- town library, and I trust you the most," Epic said elongating town because he was new to the idea and word.

"Ok so the libra-"

"Show me the way please," Epic intorupted Gilia, "oops sorry for intorupting you!"

"It's ok, everyone makes mistakes no matter how small it might be." Gilia said.

"This is the  library, it's called Hillborn Library. Named after the creator's fictional character Hillborn, it was very odd. I mean there are over a hundred myths and legends books in there," Gilia said.

"I love myths and legends! ... What are myths and legends? The only books I've ever read were fantasy and non-fiction," Epic stated.

"You have a lot to learn." She said, and then it began. Epic had disappeared, when Gilia went in she was amazed by the amount of books Epic was carrying. "Epic are you crazy that amount of books on your back will crush you!" But Epic ignored her the library was set up in a neat and tidy manner, adult books one end children's books at the other and all in alphabetical order A first and Z last just befor the children's section. And Epic had all the books on any information he could find. It looked like their was a mini library on his back.

"I've carried an entire pub bar with the alcohol and it was ten times lighter than this, and I'm not even trying!" Epic said. That left Gilia's gawking at him for an hour and a half before Epic snapped her back into reality.

"You, hu what?!" She exploded in confusion.

"Not so loud this is a library!" Epic said.

"How?!"

"Earth pony."

"Seriously how?"

"Earth pony."

"..."

"It's an ancient spell cast on the ponies of my tribe, it makes it impossible for anypony to be anything but a pegasus pony but ther is one exception every hundred years a earth pony is born to be the new leader, the are normally borne after the last died. I'm not sure of all the rules to the spell but if the heart of the pony is filled with light or darkness they get ether wings or a horn." Epic explained, "so expansion over, let's see what there is to know..."
