My Little Homunculi: Alchemy Is Magic

Garble led them to a large cave entrance. "Is this really the entrance to a library?" Ed asked him.

"Yeah. We make caves for everything." he told Ed.

"Alright, thanks." Ed said, walking in, followed closely by Twilight. The passageway was lit up by torches, and soon they walked into a giant cave filled with bookshelves.

"Wow." said Twilight, amazed at all the books.

"We should get started." Ed told her, "Let's ask where the section on alchemy is." She nodded, and walked up to the counter where a dragon was standing. They talked for a few seconds, and Twilight came back. "Well?" he asked

"There's no alchemy books here. There's only some in the capitol's library." Twilight told him. "What do we do now?" she asked.

"Hmm. There's no alchemy books. Well that doesn't mean we can't learn about the history." he said.

"Right! There might be some important information in the history of this land." Twilight realized. She walked over to the counter, and talked to the dragon again. She came back, and led Ed to the history section.

"So where do we start?" he asked.

"Why don't we start with the history of the kingdom, and how it was established." she said. He nodded, and they started looking through books. After a while Twilight threw down one the many books she'd read. "I don't understand this at all!" she yelled.

"What?" Ed asked.

"These books! They make no sense." she said.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"These books keep talking about a huge war between a bunch of different nations, and it keeps mentioning Equestria. But I've never heard of any such war, nor one that Equestria participated in." she said.

"Your government has been hiding things from you." Ed realized.

"B-But Princess Celestia would never hide anything." Twilight objected.

"This goes deeper than just alchemy." he said.

"W-What do you mean?" Twilight asked him.

"There's something bigger that went on, and Equestria is hiding it's history from it's citizens." Ed told her.

"N-No that's just not possible." Twilight was starting to break down. She realized Ed was right. There was something going on.

"We need to get to the capitol's library, and the other nations too." Ed told her, "We have to find out what happened, and what Equestria's hiding." It took a little while, but Twilight calmed down.

"You're right." she said, "We'll stay the night here, and then we'll leave for the capitol. We have to find out what happened."

"Let's go. I promise we'll get to the bottom of this." Ed told her, "We should find that dragon again, he can help us find a place to stay." Twilight nodded, and followed him out. Unfortunately for them there were two dragons waiting for them outside. As soon as they walked out the dragons jumped down, and landed behind them. They were just starting to turn their heads when they were knocked out.

"Let's get them back to the boss." said the black dragon, picking up Twilight. The other one just nodded, and picked up Ed. They then flew off towards the capitol. Luckily Garble had seen the whole thing, and flew off after them.
