The Book

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

My name is Arthur. This is a story about how a single book changed my (pony) life.

During those two months, of me and my friends arriving in Equestria, Twilight has been helping me and Moon Walker find a job we were qualified for.

Archaeology, is the job me and Moon were most qualified for (we were mostly hired because of short staff).

When we were digging inside an abandoned cave village, we came across a book, of course little did I know, this book has bad juju following it.

"Hey Arthur you should see this book, I think it's a journal." Moon says.

Arthur walks up to Moon.

"Let me see." Arthur says, before snatching the book from Moon's hooves.

"Hey! Give it back!" Moon says, as he tries to get the book back.

"How much do you want for this?" Arthur says, as he holds the book high in the air.

"15 bits. Because, you’re a dick." Moon responds.

"15? That's too high for me. What about 10?" Arthur says.

"Ok since you are my friend i'll give it to you for 12." Moon says.

"Ugh. Fine." Arthur says.

Arthur passes the bits to Moon Walker.

"I can't wait to show this to Twilight! See you tomorrow, Moon." Arthur says.

"Yeah see you." Moon says.

Me and Twilight have been dating for a couple months (today is our anniversary).

She knows that me, Moon, Potato, and Uyada came through the portal, after all it is in her castle.

Twilight and her friends are the only ponies who know what we really are.

I walk up to Twilight's castle, then knock.

Spike answers the door, then asks "Hey, Arthur, what brings you here?"

"Me and Moon found a book and I thought i'd ask Twilight about it." I say.

"She's in the Map room. Come on in, we're having apple pie." Spike says.

"I could go for some pie right about now." I say.

We walk to the Map room together. Spike opens the door to the Throne Room.

"Oh, hi, Arthur. I didn't know you were coming today." Twilight says.

"Well, me and Moon found a book in a cave not so far from here. The book says something about a Spirit of Harmony, and The Elements of Disharmony. I came here to see if you know anything about it." I say.

"Elements of Harmony? Let me see." Twilight says.

Twilight reads it for a couple minutes.

"I have to tell the princesses! Spike!" Twilight says.

"I'm already on it." Spike says.

Twilight says, as Spike writes, "Dear Princess Celestia,

it has occurred to me that other Elements, like The Elements of Harmony, may exist.

Now I have proof.

My otherworldly friend, Arthur Paige, and his friend found an ancient journal.

It talks about a Spirit of Harmony, and The Elements of Disharmony.

The Elements of Disharmony are the bad versions of the Elements of Harmony.

I think it’s imperative that we should look for them, before anypony finds out they exist.

Sincerely, Twilight Sparkle."

"Your, friend?" I ask.

"Sorry, Arthur. But there is something I have to talk to you about. Spike, will you please leave the room?" Twilight says.

Spike leaves.

"What is it?" I ask.

"I think we should stop seeing each other. Please, don't make harder than it already is." Twilight says.

"What!? We only dated for two months!" I say.

"I'm sorry. But, I love somepony else." Twilight says.

"I love you, Twilight! Is that not enough!?" I say.

"I think you should leave. Now." Twilight says.

"Fine! if that's how you feel. But i'm going to tell you something. I respected you. I loved you. If that wasn't enough, then I'm sorry, but that's all I can give you. Goodbye." I say.
