My Mistress Twilight

Twilight leads you through the library, pointing out rooms and explaining what they are for. You try multiple times to ask questions, but when you do she makes the collar around your neck tighten, cutting off your oxygen supply.

"You are not to talk without my permission!"

That phrase is said each time, with more and more anger. Eventually she tires of repeating herself and sends you to the front of the library to help Spike organize things. You try to help the small dragon, but you only wind up getting underfoot.

"Look, I appreciate that you are trying to help but can you just sit down over there and let me work?" Spike says sighing.

Flattening your ears against your skull, you nod and slink to an inconspicuous corner and gently flop down.

Well, I'm not much help huh? You sigh, and carefully sit up- your nuts are still pretty swollen from the rock earlier. At least I haven't been hit agai-

The sound of the bell interrupts your train of thought and a cyan blur catches your eye.

"Okay Spike where is he!?" An angry tomboyish voice says. "I know you guys have him tucked away here. Mayor mare said so!"

That voice.....I think that's the one who busted me in the balls.......

"Whoa, calm down Rainbow. We aren't hiding him anywhere, he's over there in that corner." Spikes voice is quiet and calm. The cyan pony dashes and the next thing you know a blue pony is upon you, pinning you to the floor. You look at her magenta eyes, and take in her vibrant, almost unreal, polychromatic mane.

"HOW DARE YOU STILL BE HERE!?" She emphasizes each word with a blow to your rib cage. "HOW DARE YOU STILL BE HERE AFTER WHAT YOU DID TO TWILIGHT!" She raises her hoof to hit you in the face, but is pulled off by a purple aura.

"RAINBOW DASH!" Twilight yells. "What the heck is wrong with you? That's my property you're damaging!"

"HE SHOULDN'T"T EV- Property?" The blue pony stops yelling and stares at Twilight quizzically. Her wings, you didn't notice them before, flare out in surprise.

"Yes property, in lieu of last weeks events the Princess decided that his fate was in my hands. I knew I couldn't kill him, but he needed to be punished so I decided that for the rest of his life he is to serve me. So now legally and technically I own him."

The pegasus looks at you, curled up on the floor nursing your quite bruised ribs gasping for breath. She laughs nervously and rubs the back of her head with a hoof.

"Well sorry Twi but I still don't trust hum...." She turns to leave and gives you the evil eye.

Twilight shakes her head and walks over to you and uses her magic to help you sit up. "Well, she did a number on you huh?"

You glare at her and purse your lips. "No shit Sherlock." Her eyes narrow and your blood freezes. "Er, I mean yes she did Mistress."

She looks at you for a second longer and proceeds to walk away.

Phew, dodged a bullet there huh? You get to your feet groaning and follow Twilight, not knowing what else to do. She simply walks into her lab and grabs a pad of paper and a pencil.

"I just realized, I assigned you the task or ordering this library, but I never actually asked if you can read our language. I mean you can speak it but that's all I know." She proceeds to scratch down runes on the paper and show them to you. "Can you read this?"

You shake your head. "Nope, its all gibberish."

She sighs. "Of course."

Three hours later, your head was full to bursting with the knowledge of Equestrian letters. Thankfully everything was spelled the same, so that saved you a bit of time.

"Okay, now that you understand the basics, we will stop here today, but pick up where we left of tomorrow." Twilight gets up and walks to the door, stopping next to you to ruffle your hair. "I may still be mad at you, but you did good today. Keep it up."

You sit there dumbfounded as the mare walks away. "Wut?"
