My Little Pony and the Wolves of Imperiacus
Welcome to Wolftopia!
Previous ChapterOver the beautiful city of Wolftopia, MudSlik, FrostStar, and Tornado were giving Twilight and her friends a tour around the city. They were amazed how big and beautiful Wolftopia was. The city was a collection of high-tech skyscrapers and intricate spires. Seemingly everything was built entirely out of pure gold and diamonds, large crystals structures with sweeping terraces top many of the cliffs, gleaming pyramids, statues, and columns surrounding many palaces. They realized this was like Equestria except only wolves rule the land with more advance civilization.
Twilight amazed, basking in the in the amazing sight. "I've never knew that Imperiacus could be so beautiful."
"It is gorgeous here. Just gorgeous!" Rarity signed in delight by the view.
"You girls haven't seen anything yet." MudSlik winked at them.
The pups and the ponies are now both happily marching down the street to the happy beat. Now the three pups were merrily strut down the street and sang in unison. They reached at the crowded part of the city.
SONG: Welcome to Wolftopia!
(MudSlik began to sing while he and his friends give Twilight and the others a tour around the city.)
(MudSlik)
This is our home!
This is our paradise!
This is our empire!
(FrostStar)
There are some many places to see!
We welcome you to see how wonderful our world is!
(Tornado)
Come look around and be amazed!
Come gaze your eyes to our lives and smile!
Be amazed of our life in this land can go on!
(Now all three pups are merrily walking down the street and singing.)
(Neo-Guardian Apprentices)
Welcome! Welcome to the land of Imperiacus! Welcome to Wolftopia! The home of the wolves!
(They all walked though the city as everywolf heard the music and all sang along.)
The home of the wolves! We welcome you to Imperiacus!
(Two Window-washing wolves rolled down the side of a building cleaning windows and sang along.)
There are so many adventures to go!
Where can you begin!
(Next, a group of work-crew wolves are efficiently making repairs on the streets.)
The question is how to start!
We welcome you to our great and wonderful nation!
(Windows opened up and down the block so that house occupants can sing along with the ones on the streets.)
(Choir)
The home of the wolves! We welcome you to Wolftopia!
Welcome! Welcome to the land of Imperiacus! Welcome to Wolftopia! The home of the wolves!
(Clean-up wolves are lumbering along the sidewalk, scrubbing, sweeping, and emptying trash.)
This is our city that brings us all to life to our land!
(MudSlik)
Everybody's welcome here!
Everybody welcome to our city!
(FrostStar)
You are welcome to explore our world and feel the joy of our ways!
We ain't got any worries here because this is a place of hope!
(Tornado)
I know you're gonna like it in our city!
We hope you all enjoy our world!
(Choir)
Welcome! Welcome to the land of Imperiacus! Welcome to Wolftopia! The home of the wolves!
(MudSlik)
Everything's gonna be alright!
(FrostStar)
Where everyone is beautiful!
(Tornado)
Where something interesting happens every day and night!
(Everywolf in the whole city block.)
Welcome! Welcome to the land of Imperiacus! Welcome to Wolftopia! The home of the wolves!
(The singing slowly ended for the pups and made a stop at the broad avenue.)
"So, what do you girls think?" FrostStar asked.
"That was truly amazing!" Twilight shouted with joy.
Rarity's eyes sparkled as she was amazed by the tour. "I have seen so many fabulous places back at Equestria. But this place, it is far more beyond my expectations. Everything is so glamorous and dazzling."
Pinkie Pie jumped up high in excitement. "You said it! This place is so big and shinny. I could almost see myself everywhere!" She repeatedly stared at her reflection on every houses and buildings on the block, bothering lot of pedestrians and home owners.
"Yeah, this place is awesome. This is exactly how I'd pictured Imperiacus to be like. But I never thought that I will be able to see it in real life." Rainbow Dash squealed with joy.
Every square inch of the city gleaming blindingly in the sun, the group started on the road and walked towards it. Down the block, everywolf are working hard by scrubbing, polishing, and vacuuming every spot in the city.
"Everywolf here are workin' pretty hard to keep their city clean." Applejack amazed.
"That's because, tomorrow is the day when our Prince forms the eclipse!" FrostStar mentioned.
"Your Prince? You mean…." Rainbow Dash suspected.
The pups lead them to the edge of raised platform, overlooking at the center of the city hall. Standing below, a massive golden statue of Prince Eclipso rested on the crystal stand.
MudSlik pointed his paw down at the large golden statue of their leader. "Behold the great and proud, Prince Eclipso! The ruler of Imperiacus and the king of all wolves."
"Almost every creature in the world has their own special unique magic, but Prince Eclipso has the most powerful magic in the world, the creation of life." FrostStar said.
"Once every hundred years, our Prince uses his magic to create the great eclipse and restore our home world to a new century of life." Tornado lectured.
"It's true, he even created our once lifeless land and turned it into a powerful empire. A metropolis where all wolves can live together in harmony." MudSlik said.
Applejack whistled in impressed. "Whoa nelly, Prince Eclipso sure is an amazin' fella. He's probably more powerful than Princess Celestia and Princess Luna."
"No wonder why everywolf are so loyal to him." Fluttershy said.
MudSlik shook his head. "We're not just loyal to him... we all worship him as a god. After all, it was our creator that gave our Prince his powers in the first place."
FrostStar nodded. "We all obey his every command and his leadership."
"Such as protecting ponies in Equestria, right?" Twilight realized.
"You're right, Twilight. Because Prince Eclipso cares for all the ponies and wanted to protect them, we show our trust and gratitude to support him without question." Tornado pointed out.
"I've never thought he was like that? It'll sure be nice to meet him." Twilight wondered.
"Yeah, meeting Prince Eclipso would be nice and all… But I think it'd be better if we meet the Guardians instead." Rainbow Dash said to everypony as they all nodded in full agreement.
"If you girls really want to meet the Guardians, we would be happy to take you to them." MudSlik proposed as all five instantly gathered around them.
"REALLY!" Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rainbow Dash screamed around the pups.
"You know the Guardians?!" Rarity said as her eyes sparkled like diamonds.
"Of course we know them. They're our masters." FrostStar replied awkward.
Tornado snickered by the girls' excitement. "We can't call ourselves Neo-Guardian Apprentices, if we're not their apprentices."
"You mean, you guys can introduce me to Mudshield!" Applejack excited.
Rarity gasped in delight. "I can finally meet Bladesword!" The excitement was too much, she fainted.
"I really want to see First Aider! I want to see him heal all the poor, sick, and wounded critters!" Fluttershy begged.
"Cherrybomb! Cherrybomb! Cherrybomb!" Pinkie Pie screaming while excitedly jumping.
Rainbow Dash leaned frantically up into their face. "Please! You guys gotta let me see Thunderbolt! I'm his number one fan!"
"Sure, we'll take you to them." MudSlik agreed.
Twilight giggled by her friends cheering happily. "I'm happy for you girls. But you can go on without me."
Applejack looked at Twilight in surprised. "You're not comin' with us, Twilight?"
"That's okay. I'll just be in your way. Beside, they are your heroes. You girls should take this perfect opportunity to spent time with them instead of worrying about me all day!" Twilight requested.
"That may be, darling… but what about you? You can't just leave you here all by yourself." Rarity concerned.
"I'm sure I'll find a nice quiet place to keep myself occupied for a while." Twilight relaxed.
"Then we'll take you anyplace you want." MudSlik rubbed his chin, thinking the perfect place. "How about the park, the café, the library, or…."
Twilight gasped in joy after hearing that last word. "The library?! Why didn't you say so?! The library would be perfect for me!" She stopped and startled as her growling stomach was heard.
MudSlik heard the loud growling sound from the ponies' stomach. "Are you girls' hungry?"
Twilight blushed in embarrassment. "We're very sorry. It's just that we got mixed up in all sorts of trouble since we've left Equestria. We haven't eaten much on our way here."
"Don't worry, Twilight. We'll help you out." MudSlik smiled.
"Let's get you girls something to eat first before we take you to them." FrostStar offered.
"Thank you!" Twilight felt very appreciated.
"How very thoughtful of you!" Rarity pinching FrostStar's cheek.
"So, where are we headin'?" Applejack asked.
"We know the perfect place where there's plenty of food for you and your friends to fill those empty stomachs of yours." Tornado jumping up and down in excitement.
The scene cut to a large restaurant, the three pups leaded the ponies toward the front door and entered. The place was huge. It was filled with golden tables, diamond decorated fountains, and crystal-like flowers set up on every corner of the room. There were lots of customers, every seat was almost filled with the presence of a very properly-dressed, off-white wolves going to tables and writing everywolf's orders.
"This is the place. Come on, let's go find a table." MudSlik suggested.
The pups led Twilight and the others toward a long, low table surrounded by golden plates and silverware with colorful pillow seats. The ponies sat at the left side of the table with the pups sat on the opposite side.
Applejack reared up happily. "Yee-haa! I'm so hungry; I could eat a whole basket of apples with full jar of sweet apple cider."
"Yeah, I'm starving! Finally, we get to have some real food and not some brown gump or giant roasted insects." Rainbow Dash's tongue stick out in disgust.
"Really? That's strange. I thought the food tasted really good to me." Pinkie Pie rubbed her head in confusion.
Twilight giggled as she looked at the three pups. "I really want to thank you three for doing this for us! This is very sweet of you."
"Don't sweat it, Twilight. We're always very happy to help!" MudSlik said proudly.
"Thanks guys, I'm really... "Twilight was interrupted when Applejack whispered to her.
"Ummm... hey, Twilight. Is it just me or is everywolf here have been starin' at us?" Applejack whispered silently.
They all looked around and noticed that some of the customers are staring at them in complete confusion.
Twilight chucked nervously as she and her friends are being watched. "We don't seem quite welcome here though."
Fluttershy worried. "I hope they're not mad at us for something that we've done."
"What! What did we do?! What is something we did?! Was it something we said?!" Pinkie pie gasped in a thought. "Or maybe we did both?! What have we done?!"
"No, it is not something you girls have done... It's just that, well… to tell you the truth." MudSlik scratched his head. "You girls are the first ponies that everywolf in Imperiacus has ever seen before."
"Really, you mean you wolves have never seen ponies before? But I thought..." Applejack said.
"That was thousands of years ago. Times have changed around here." MudSlik said.
FrostStar nodded his head. "Yeah, we've lost sight of many creatures since the end of the great Legendary War."
"So, is Imperiacus the only land in the world where only wolves live?" Twilight questioned.
"That's right. Almost every different kinds of wolves in the world lives in Imperiacus. "FrostStar replied.
"Just like everypony in the world lives in Equestria." Rarity mentioned.
"That also explains why there aren't any wolves in Equestria. The only kind of wolves we saw back home are only Timberwolves." Fluttershy pointed out.
MudSlik growled in anger. "Timberwolves! I really hate those guys! They're such freak and monsters!"
FrostStar let out a big smile to Twilight and the others. "But don't worry. We are nothing like those guys. You don't have to worry about anything."
The waiter rolled in a cart filled with a variety of food, everypony chimed in their request. The waiter removed the long napkin draped over his arm; he placed a small tray of small kolaches on Twilight's table.
MudSlik reached out for a kolach. "All right girls, have a taste of some appetizers."
Everypony reached to take one each of kolaches and took bites. Everypony are enjoying the flavor taste of the food.
Twilight was delightfully chewing on her kolach. "These are really good!"
"They smell really delicious and taste pretty darn good!" Applejack said with mouthful.
Pinkie Pie stuffed the whole kolach in her mouth. "Yum! Yum! Yum! You wolves sure know to cook!"
"The bread here in Imperiacus taste much better here than in Equestria. It is so soft and warm. Especially the center." Fluttershy pointed at the sausage in the center of the bread. "What is this stuff? Is this steam carrot?"
"It's pork." FrostStar said mouthful.
"What is pork?" Twilight asked curiously.
"Pig meat!" Tornado answered loudly for them.
Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy's eyes bugged out in horrified shock and disgust. They spitted out a mouthful under their table, choking and gagging in their mouths. The pups on the other hand chewed happily with theirs and swallowed it.
"Now that's good eating." MudSlik licked his lips.
Rainbow Dash was scrubbing her tongue with her napkin. "Oh man! I can't believe our mouths just had a tasted of meat!" She murmured.
The servant returned and placed a bigger tray on their table.
"All right, here comes the main course!" Tornado excited.
On the tray, it was a whole roasted chicken, replete with a decorative arrow piercing its bloated stomach.
Applejack was shaking in disgust and horrified. "For some reason I'm not very hungry anymore." She whispered.
"Oh no, that poor chicken." Fluttershy covered her mouth with her hooves as she quietly shrieked. "And its head's gone!"
"Alright girls, dig in!" FrostStar offered as he chow down on a chicken leg.
Twilight and the others really wanted to leave the restaurant and vomit outside. But they don't want to hurt the pups' feelings, especially since they offered them free food. They have no choice but to pretend they're enjoying the meal and forced a big smile.
They stared horrified at the three pups enjoying biting off the flesh from the roasted chicken's wings and legs. They happily chewed on the meat in their mouths and gulped it down their throats.
"I think I'm going to be sick." Rarity whispered in a shocking trance.
Tornado munching in his mouth. "So good!"
Another servant put down another plate. Everypony stared at an enormous steaming pile of deep-fried fishes on the platter. The pups grabbed one of each and bit off the heads and pulled out the bones from the lifeless bodies.
Fluttershy whimpered. "They are eating fishes! They are eating 'dead fried' fishes!"
"Twilight, we can't eat this!" Applejack murmured to Twilight.
"I know, I'd completely forgotten that wolves are carnivores." Twilight noticed the three pups were aiming very puzzled looks her way. Twilight quickly forced a smile and chuckled. "Delicious! We love them!"
MudSlik made a squeaky grin. "You're welcome! There's plenty more where that came from. So please eat as much as you want!"
FrostStar smiled. "Yes please, it's all on us!"
Twilight forced a giggle, feeling guiltier. "Hehehe... Great!"
Rainbow Dash tried so hard not to barf. She turned to Pinkie Pie with a soft growl. "Still think this is good food, Pinkie Pie?" Her eyes widen in shock as she saw her pink pony friend enjoying the feast.
Pinkie Pie even slammed her whole face into her full-plate of chicken meat, grease and chicken juice smeared all over her countenance. She gave her friends a big grin. "You bet! This stuff is amazing! Delicious! This food is so good, maybe more delicious than all the other tasty food that we have eaten these past few days!" She licked her entire face with her tongue and smiled happily at them.
Rainbow Dash covered her mouth from vomiting. "I'm... going to... puke."
"Now girls, let's not be rude here." Twilight smiled awkwardly, trying to convince her friends to stay focus.
At the other table across the room, Twilight and the others noticed two wolves were fighting over a big roasted duck. They both grabbed each end with their mouths and started a tug of war. The sound the roasted duck's flesh tearing in half was heard at their table. Twilight groaned in dizziness, Applejack's face turned green, Rainbow Dash was really trying hard not to barf, Fluttershy began to shed tears from sadness of cooked critters, and Rarity was still in a shocked trance with her eyes wide opened.
Fluttershy whimpered and tears started trailing down her cheeks. "Is there anything more vile than this?!"
Now more trays are whisked in by servants and placed with a steamy covered bowl on their table. The pups removed the top and sniffed the soup with a pair of rabbit ears sticking out of the bowl.
"Yum! Rabbit stew, our favorite!" Tornado said as he and his friends stuffed their faces in the rabbit stew.
Pinkie Pie came behind the pups. "Hey, let me have some of that!" She too stuffed her face in the rabbit stew, slurping all together.
Everypony were petrified as they all watched the pups and Pinkie Pie eating every meat on the table. Twilight barely managing to force her words out, dropping sweats from her forehead. Applejack's face turned greener and dropped her head flat on the table, Fluttershy's hooves covered her face as she quietly sobbed, Rainbow Dash's stomach couldn't take it anymore and puked under the table, and Rarity did nothing but stayed perfectly still without blinking her eyes.
Twilight noticed that Rarity wasn't moving at all, her body was frozen solid. "Rarity..? Are you okay?" Twilight gently tapped her in the shoulder, Rarity leaned back and came crashing backwards in a dead faint!
A while later, the pups and Pinkie Pie walked happily with their satisfied tummies. Looking back, Twilight and her others were trailing by several steps, their dizzy heads nearly touching the ground, groaning in discomfort.
The pups stopped in front of a huge building. "We're here, Twilight!" MudSlik called out to her.
Twilight and the others focused back from their nauseating minds and realized they have arrived. It was a huge golden library with statues of wolves stand on both sides of the stairs. Twilight was stunned by the sight. "Is this the library?"
Twilight saw the pups nodded and gazed at the building. "Wow, I've never thought it would be so huge." She stared happily back at her friends. "Girls, this is perfect! With a library this big and the amount of books that they'll have, I'm sure I can keep myself busy for hours."
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure you will." Rainbow Dash giggled because she knew Twilight very well as a complete egghead.
"You sure you're goin' to be alright without us? It's not too late to change your mind." Applejack concerned.
"You can always come with me, Twilight. I wouldn't mind if you come along." Fluttershy suggested.
Twilight shook her head and smiled. "You girls have waited a long time for this moment. Just go out there and meet your heroes. You girls have nothing to worry about. I'll be fine."
"Just please be safe, darling. I don't want anything happen to you while we're away." Rarity said anxiously.
"Come on, girls! Let's get going!" MudSlik and the pups called out to them, leading the way.
With the other four already on their way to follow the pups, Applejack stayed and gazed at Twilight. "We'll be back for you in a few hours, Twilight. We promise." She waved Twilight goodbye and went off.
Twilight waved her friends goodbye and walked up the stairs. She opened the doors in a gleam of light to expose a hall filled with a massive room with shelves of books.
Twilight went inside and gesturing to shelves of books. "Wow, just look at this place! It's enormous! This is probably the biggest library I've ever seen in all of my life. There's probably millions and millions of books here, probably more than at the Canterlot Castle or at the Crystal Empire."
She walked at the main center of the library and noticed that there's not a single wolf in sight, the entire building is completely empty. "Geez... Doesn't anywolf here read books anymore?" She went on further and finally found the fiction novel section. "I wonder if they have all of C.S.N's books here? Maybe reading those books could expend me some time before my friends return." She thought to herself.
A short time later, Twilight was inspecting the shelves, walking up a latter to check every book cover. She rolled the latter and swiped all the books clean off the shelves. She stacked up many books nearby and began searching the right one.
Twilight has a steady stream of levitated books moving past her and was sending one after another onto a huge pile of rejects. "Hmm... they're not here. They don't have any of them here." Twilight got up and walked off the hall, leaving behind a pile of books on the ground.
She walked to the main desk and faced the librarian on the counter. Twilight couldn't see his face because he was hidden behind a newspaper. "Ummm... Excuse me, sir. Do you have any of the collection of books written by the author named C.S.N?"
She asked the librarian, but didn't reply back. "Because I'm a huge fan of the author, so I was wondering if you have…" Twilight noticed the librarian wasn't paying any attention to her. "Ummm, excuse me, but are you listening to me?"
"Excuse me? Excuse me!" Twilight said, but still no answer. The librarian was still hiding behind the newspaper with no movement.
Twilight waved her hooves around to get his attention. "Hey! Hello! Sir?!" But still no response.
Twilight was getting exasperated and finally pushed the newspaper down. "HEY! I'M TALKING TO YOU!"
Twilight stopped with sudden realization. She slowly pushed down the top of the paper, revealing that the wolf was... asleep. He was a grey wolf with purple spiky hair, snoring in his chair.
The librarian woke up after hearing her shouting. "Huh, what!... Who are you?"
Twilight calmed and cleared her throat. "Umm… Hello, my name is Twilight Sparkle and I'm here to ask you about a book that I'm trying to find?" She smiled.
The librarian yawned. "What are you doing here anyway?"
Twilight frowned. "Um… As if you didn't know, but this is a library, right?" She mentioned.
The librarian looked around and noticed. "Oh right, so it is. So why are you here then?"
Twilight cried out a loud groan. "Well as you can see! I am here to look for a book that I really want to read and I'm asking you to help me find it."
"Look, there are plenty of books here. What more do you need?" The librarian pointed out.
Twilight growled in annoyance, furious by the librarian's attitude. "Hey, I'm sorry that I've interrupted your beauty nap! But I'm just here to look for a book called "The Little Lost Unicorn" authored by C.S.N... So do you have it here or not?!"
The librarian chuckled. "I'm sorry but we do not have those kinds of books here in this library. Try the comedy section; it might approve your exposition of common sense." He rudely insulted.
Twilight was steaming mad. "That was very rude of you! And what do you mean you don't have those kinds of books? Don't you realize that those books are probably one of the world's greatest and the most beautiful books ever written? It teaches you about love, family, and friendship. How could you not have those kinds of books here?"
"Look, lady! This is Imperiacus, not Equestria. We do not share your interest for reading any dumb pony books." The librarian yelled.
"Excuse me?! Who do you think you are anyway? Aren't you the librarian? Isn't this your job to help others find books that they wanted?" Twilight yelled back.
"Hey, life isn't fair!" The Librarian shrugged.
"More like you don't care about your job at all!" Twilight cried out.
The librarian grunted. "Why would you want that book anyway? I mean, that book is a kind of stuff that only ponies would like to read."
Twilight slapped her face in irritation. "Geez, I don't know…. Maybe it's because I'm a pony!" She urged him to look at her.
The librarian took a closer look at her and noticed. "Oh, so you really are a pony."
"Yes, now you can see that I am not a wolf. I'm a pony... And not just any pony, I'm a unicorn." Twilight revealing her horn at him.
"So, what's a unicorn doing here in Imperiacus?" The librarian carelessly asked.
Twilight growled louder. "In case you didn't know, but I came here from the land of Equestria!"
"So let me get this straight. You're telling me that you came out here all the way from Equestria just so you can find a dumb book. That's not very smart, you know!" The librarian shrugged.
Twilight snarled through her teeth. "Listen to me! I don't have time to argue with you! All I wanted is to find a book that was written by the author named C.S.N! Do you have it here or not?!"
"No! We don't have your kind of books here and if you don't like it... why don't you just go to another library then." The librarian yelled back and held his newspaper back up.
Twilight stood up, slamming her front hooves onto the table hard. "FINE THEN! MAYBE I WILL!" She voiced an exasperated groan and trotted away, walking out of the library. She stomped hard in anger down the stairs and back to the streets.
"Ohhh… the nerve of that wolf! I can't believe they made him the librarian. Thanks to him, I don't have any place to stay for a while!" Twilight grumbling as she walked down the empty streets, she was stumbling and awkward as she walked down the unfamiliar street. She began to feel uneasy, not knowing where to go. "Maybe I should've just gone with my friends after all. I don't even know where I am anymore... Oh, can this get any worse?"
As she passed by an alleyway, she spotted three mean-looking wolves just up ahead; they were looking at her with sinister smiles on their faces.
"I spoke too soon..." Twilight chucked nervously as she quickly turned the other way. She walked very fast, trying to avoid them. But as faster as she walked, she could hear multiple footsteps coming close behind her.
She was suddenly grabbed from behind by a pair of strong furry paws. Before she could cry out, she was pulled out of the wind into the alley and slammed against the side of the building. The three mean wolves have surrounded her. Twilight's looking around for help, but it's late, cold and empty building around here.
"Going somewhere, pony?" The first wolf threatened.
Twilight was shaking scared against the wall. "Umm... Sorry, but I have to leave now! I need to go find my friends!"
The second wolf chuckled manically. "Oh, don't worry. Your pony friends will be joining us shortly, right after we're done with you."
"Wait, please don't! I mean you wolves no harm!" Twilight whimpered in panic.
The third wolf grabbed her by the neck and slammed her harder against the wall. "You ponies think you're all great, huh?"
Twilight chocking. "Huh, what are you… talking… about?"
"You ponies think you're better than us with all of your magic, love, and your stupid girlish friendship stuff." The first wolf disgusted.
"No, wait! I've…. never said… anything like that... Really!" Twilight struggling.
The third wolf tightened his grip on Twilight's neck. "We're going to teach you a lesson for what happens to any stupid ponies who dares run into our turf."
The second wolf laughed. "You will make a perfect example to the other ponies when you make a fool out of us."
"I'm sorry…. I'll give you anything you want… Money? Books? A free paid meal?!" Twilight begged.
"Oh, you don't have to worry about that. We've already have our free meal right here." The first wolf licked his lips like a hungry dog.
"Please don't do this! Please don't hurt me! Please!" Twilight cried.
"Gosh, guys, look at those big innocent pony eyes. Which choice we should do, guy? Slow or extremely painful?" The second wolf requested.
"It makes me even hungrier. Let's eat her in both choices!" The first wolf drooled.
"PLEASE DON'T! HELP! SOMEPONY! ANYWOLF! HELP ME!" Twilight screamed loudly.
The gang laughed and commented on her helpless cries. Tears began to streak down the side of her face as they show their sharp teethes and growling viciously. Suddenly, they are no longer alone.
"LEAVE THAT PONY ALONE!"
The gang looked to the entrance of the alleyway as well as the source of the voice. Twilight was able to turn her head just enough to see the figure, silhouetted across the street. It was the librarian.
"Hey, mutt, beat it! We're doing something here!" The first wolf shouted angrily.
"I said, let the pony go and scram!" The librarian demanded.
The second wolf grunted. "What's your deal? Why are you defending this pony?!"
"Ponies or wolves. We do not hurt girls!" The librarian growled.
The first wolf has impatient; he walked towards the librarian until… "Why don't you just get lost, you stupid..."
Suddenly, the first wolf was interrupted when he began floating in the air by a purple levitation aura. He flew backwards off his feet, pushed hard and slammed hard into the wall, creating a huge crater.
"We hurt guys who hurt girls." The librarian growled as his eyes flashed a bright purple.
"WHY YOU!" The second wolf charged at the him.
The second wolf jumped for an attack dive. But in mid-air, a giant purple transparent human-like fist appeared and punched the diving wolf. A single blow sent the wolf flying backwards and crashed into the ground.
It took a few seconds and two bodies lay unconscious on the ground. The librarian turned to the third wolf who is shaking in fear. He released Twilight and began crying on the ground, begging for mercy. "Oh please Eclipso! Please don't hurt me! Please don't..." But, the librarian didn't accept as his eyes blasted the crying wolf with purple energy beam, crashing him to the wall. The librarian grabbed him and pushed him back to the wall by the neck.
"Please... I'm sorry!" The third wolf sobbing.
The librarian's eyes glowed brighter, out came more of his magic when a flying purple transparent blade appeared and was placed at the third wolf's neck.
"You will be!" The librarian viciously scowled.
Finally, the sharp point of the transparent blade began to change into real solid metal. Inches closer to his furry skin, making a small cut on his throat.
"NO!" Twilight's voice shouted out.
The librarian looked back and saw Twilight begging him to stop. "Please, he said he was sorry. He paid for his crime. So please don't kill him!"
The librarian grunted in disappointment and released him. The wolf screamed away as he ran off, leaving behind his two unconscious friends.
Shaking from fear, Twilight was still laying on the ground as the librarian walked his way over to her. He was standing right over her head, looking down at her with eyes full of concern. He extended his paws down to help her up.
Shakily, Twilight grasped his paws and brought herself to her hooves. "But... How did you know...?
"I've came looking for you because you've made that mess in the library. I didn't expect you would run into trouble." The librarian interrupted.
"I'm not talking about that! I'm talking about what you've just did right now! You just used unicorn magic, didn't you?!" Twilight said dumbfounded.
The librarian groaned as he felt unappreciated. "Well, you are very welcome!"
"That's impossible! You're a wolf! How could a wolf know how to use unicorn magic? Twilight questioned.
The librarian grunted. "Why do you look so surprised? You act like you've never seen a wolf doing unicorn magic before."
"That's what I'm talking about! I've never did! Only pony-like creatures can do that kind of magic." Twilight irritated.
"What? Do you think you ponies are the only ones who can learn magic?" The librarian chuckled. "Magic comes from within our hearts. It is the soul and energy all around us that creates it. But it can only be achieved by years and years of studying and training. You don't need horns or be a unicorn to learn that." The librarian rudely tapped his paws on Twilight's horn.
Twilight slapped off his paws away. "But that wasn't just ordinary unicorn magic you just did there. That was advance magic. That's hard even for me!"
"Well maybe you ponies are not the only ones who can do better at magic after all." The librarian replied.
"Hey! What's that suppose to mea..." Twilight felt pain on her left leg.
The librarian noticed. "What's wrong now?"
"Ow... Those wolves really hurt my leg when they attacked me." Twilight rubbing her wounded leg.
The librarian looked at her leg and noticed a big cut mark. "Looks like you got a big wound here. How about I take you over to my place?"
"Um... Your place?" Twilight said cynically.
"I got some potions over at my house that could help you heal your leg fast." The librarian offered.
"Wait a minute, wolf! How do I know that you're really trying to take to your place to help me? How do I know that you're just trying to trick me so you can take me to your house to eat me?" Twilight said suspicious.
"Suit yourself. You don't have to believe if you don't want to. But if you really want your leg to feel better then you'll just have no choice but to follow me. Either way, I don't care. And don't call me wolf, my name is Saros." He walked off, leaving the injured unicorn suspicious for his generosity. But the fact that he's right, she decided to follow.
Saros led Twilight back to the library. They went back inside and head to the back room.
"You actually live in your library?" Twilight stunned.
"It's a perfect quiet place to live in." Saros opened the door, inside was a large room with a kitchen, stairs, fireplace, and furnitures.
Saros prepared a cushion for her and walked off to the next room. "Sit tight. I'll be right back."
"Wait, where are you going?" Twilight asked curiously.
"To the kitchen." Saros replied.
Twilight gasped in shock with her horn flaring. "I knew it! You're going to the kitchen to get a cleaver, are you! You really are trying to eat me!"
Saros sighed annoyed. "Sheesh, Calm down, will you! I'm just going to make a nice cup of tea while I get the potion ready, ok?"
Twilight's horn powered down and slowly sat down on the cushion. "Alright, I'll trust you for now, but if I found out that you're lying..."
"I promise I will not do anything suspicious. Just sit tight, relax, and wait for me until I return... and don't touch anything." Saros walked away and disappeared into the kitchen.
Twilight waited in the living room and looked around. The area was like an old museum. There are dust and cobwebs on every corner of the walls, though everything seem to be untouched.
She waddled though on the dusty floors. "Wow. Just look at this place? It's a mess." She brushed the dust off her filthy hoof. "Seriously, doesn't this wolf ever heard about personal cleaning?"
There are framed photos on the walls of Saros with all sorts of celebrities. She passed a glass shelf with many award statues of olympic medals, sports trophies, and military medals. Her eyes caught a view of a giant bookshelf, full of hundreds of books. Some of the books are about spells, romance, fiction, fairytales, and magic.
"Although for a grouchy wolf, he sure has a lot of books here. This place looks like an exact replica of my place. What are the odds?" Twilight giggled to herself.
She waddled a little further and noticed a study desk with a stack of familiar-looking books. "Huh, what books are these?" Twilight levitated one of the books and was stunned what she saw. "The Little Lost Unicorn, author by C.S.N." Twilight was surprised that her favorite book was here of all places. "What?! No way! I thought he said he doesn't have these kinds of books here."
She levitated the next book and gasped. "The Sad Pony Princess, author by C.S.N? He has this book too?" She picked up another. "The Pegasus's Love, author by C.S.N! You got to be kidding me?" And another until she realized that all these books was written by the same author. "He has the whole collection of them… I-I don't understand."
"I thought I told you not to touch anything!" A voice cried out.
Twilight startled and saw Saros looking at her from behind. She smiled nervously and quickly sat back down on her cushion. Saros brought the basket of potions and took out a vile. He opened it and smoothly rubbed the liquid on her leg.
After a few seconds, the cut mark vanished from her skin. Twilight was surprised and delighted that she can walk normal again.
"Geez, you shouldn't be touching my stuff without permission." Saros putting the vile back in the basket and placed in on the table.
Twilight leviated the 'The Little Lost Unicorn' book from Saros's desk. "Hey, I thought you said you don't have these 'dumb' books here?"
Saros snatched the book from Twilight and threw it in the trash can. "That's right! They're all dumb books. They're garbage. They all belong in trash so nobody could ever read them again."
Twilight quickly ran to the trash can and rescued the book. "Garbage! I don't think you realized what you have here! These books happened to be one of the greatest novel collections that were ever written. These books are special. They are classic masterpiece written by wonderful author who believed in magic and love. How could you treat wonderful books like this?"
Saros signed in annoyance. "Twilight, I've been with books all my life, more than you can imagine. I can always tell which books are special and which are garbage. And those books are all nothing but garbage."
"Maybe if you have read these books more, then maybe you can finally learn to appreciate how special they are."
"Listen Twilight, I don't read those stupid books..." Saros took a deep breath and faced Twilight "... I just write them."
Twilight was completely shocked from what she just heard, her lower jaw hanging down. "Wait, what did you just say?"
Saros growled in frustration and impatience. "I told you! I don't read any of my books. I just write them and these books are just stupid fictional tales created from my useless imaginations."
Twilight's mind was blank, stunned from what he just said. "No way, it can't be... Are you... C.S.N?"
Saros didn't say anything. He turned his head away from Twilight and closed his eyes in shame.
Twilight gasped from shock and surprised. "YOU'RE C.S.N!… YOU'RE THE AUTHOR OF MY FAVORITE BOOK OF ALL TIME. YOU'RE THE TRUE AUTHOR OF THE LITTLE LOST UNICORN? IT WAS YOU!"
Saros irritated by her loud voice. "Calm down, you crazy pony… my real name is Saros. C.S.N is only my pen name."
"Wait a minute! How do I know your telling the truth! How do I really know you're the author?" Twilight said suspicion.
Saros's eyes flashed and levitated a blank paper and wrote his initials. He gave it to Twilight who became very stunned to find the initials are exact identical to the ones in the books.
"I can't believe it! No, no… I take that back. I won't believe it!" Twilight panting manically. "This can't be real! Not only that I am talking to my favorite author! But what's more surprising is that my favorite author is actually a wolf!"
"So what if I am! You got a problem with that?" Saros offended.
Twilight scratched her head in confusion. "I-I don't get it. Why would a wolf like you be writing a book about love, friendship, and ponies? I thought for somebody who wrote pony books would be..."
"What do you expect? Did you really thought that your favorite author was a smart and talented stallion? A pony who was a master of magic, love, and friendship." Saros interrupted.
"No... um..." Twilight embarrassed.
"Well guess what! I was the one who really wrote those magical books about ponies and unicorns. Does that bother you?!" Saros questioned.
"No, I did not say that." Twilight replied.
"Just because I'm interested in mushy-girly pony stuff, doesn't that make me weird! If I like to collect pony dolls or writing collections of magical books about ponies... That doesn't make me a freak!" Saros shouted without thinking.
Twilight blushed. "No, of course not."
"Yeah, I'm sure you are..." Saros turned back with his head looking down the ground. "Now that you've finally know who your favorite author really is. I'm guessing you're so disgusted, you'll probably never want to read any of my dumb books again… Just like all the others."
Twilight didn't know what to say, still gazing at the purple-hair wolf with a crushed spirit. But because of her kind heart, all she could do was smile and say... "Never! I'll never be disgusted and I'll never stop from reading your books!"
Saros's eyes widen from shock. "What?!"
"I said I will always love your books! In fact, I can't wait to read your next book if it ever comes out!" Twilight smiled with a cheerful voice.
"You mean I'm still your favorite writer? Even after you've found out that I'm not what you thought I was. That I'm just a mean wolf who interested in pony stuff?" Saros surprised.
"That's right." Twilight nodded her head with no regrets.
"But why?" Saros puzzled.
"Because you wrote these books. You wrote these stories because you've believed in magic. When I read them, they make me really happy. And even if you think you don't believe in them anymore, but I know that deep down you really do." Twilight walked towards Saros and patted him on the shoulder. "I won't laugh at you. In fact, I'm very proud of you. I think it is wonderful for you to have a great hobby and I respect that."
Saros let out a little smile, feeling a warm inside his broken heart. "Wow... No one has ever said that to me before. Usually when they know about my hobby. They all just laugh at me and don't talk to me anymore."
"Well, I won't." Twilight said happily.
Saros saw her cheerful smile and smiled back. For the first time in his life, he felt like he finally found his match. The sound of whistling teapot was heard in the kitchen.
"The tea's ready." Saros grinned as he saw Twilight's joyful face. "Would you like to stay for some tea and snacks? Maybe we can talk a little longer and get to know each other better... That is, if you want to."
Twilight giggled with a accepted smile. "Definitely! I'd love to!"
