Chapter 1
It was during the night. The moon was high, and all the ponies at the Celestian Academy of Fine Arts were asleep. All except one. The awake unicorn looked out the window at the academy. It was impossible to sleep. As she was looking she saw a pony in a cloak. The pony seemed to put a not in a crack of the school.
I woke Emma right away. The alicorn mumbled as her eyes opened. She must've been dreaming about Aeon again, I thought.
"What!" she exclaimed in a whisper.
"Just follow me!" I replied. I went to the stallions dorms to wake Psi and Sarge. "Don't ask just follow!" I led the three ponies to the school to find the note. It was in a crack between two of the stone bricks. I took it out with my magic, and read it out-loud. "The library has secrets to tell -S." Psi rolled his eyes.
"You woke us for THIS!" he yelled. Sarg nodded his agreement. Then the two stallions trotted to their dorm.
"You believe me Emma, right?" I asked.
"I believe you 95%..." She replied with a smile.
"Great! Why not we go to the library in the morning." I told her. She let out a nod and we headed to our dorm.
It felt like I only slept for minutes when I heard the bell to awake us. Emma was too stubborn to get up.
"It's cake day Emma!" I lied. She shot out of bed right away. I made us breakfeast and we left. As soon as we got there we rushed to the library. Psi was looking in the horror section and Sarg was asleep. I looked around to see a not pinned on a chest. I read it to Emma, "Through the path not many have taken -S." Then I opened the chest with Emmas help. Inside was a picture of Pinkamena. Then I looked to my left to see the same picture but larger and well, on a wall. I gave Emma a confused look. Then I lifted the painting up to reveal a small room. Inside was another note.
Emma read this note.
"You will see a room of art -S." We didn't need to tell each other as we headed to the art room. Best part was it was my next class. On my canvas it said "The third chest in a place of screens" It's the computer room. I would go there after class.
Eventually the bell rang. Emma and I went to the computer room right away. There was a chest with a three on it. I opened it with my magic. Inside was the same picture I saw in the band room, but the bell rang. Time for technology class. About half-way into the class I used magic to make the bell ring. Then rushed to the band room. I knew the next clue was in the cooking room. Then the math room.
When I got to the math room I saw another clue on the board. Emma was with me.
"12+5=? -S" Emma said. "17!" she shouted. Whats 17 in the school. Emma told me to follow as we went to locker 17. She opened it and let out a gasp as she pulled out a diamond, but this wasn't a diamond it glowed red in the middle. I don't know what came over me. I took the "diamond" and smashed it.0
