The Sins of the Wise

Pixel paced around the door to Sunset Cloud’s Room. He’s never been on edge like this in his life, that was a lie. Pixel knew that. It’s been a day since the explosion. Pixel stopped pacing. What about his Parents, His Siblings. He should have told them something first before he left. But what to tell them when he does. He couldn’t go like, ‘Hey mom! My Friends and I went to canterolot for the weekend! Hope you don’t mind!’ That would be bad, get grounded from leaving the house for more than for ever. He made up his mind. Using his magic he held up his hoof pulling up a holographic image. It was a Picture of his Mom and his Dad. He spoke into it gingerly.

“Mom? Dad? Please Pick up.” Pixel said like he was holding a phone. This spell was a comuntication spell, unicorns learned this spell before the invention of the Phone. This spell was tied into the house phone in Ponyville. He was told to by his parents. On the other end There was a few crashes but then the spell lit up with sound.

“Hello?” It Was Talon, Pixel’s younger Brother. “This is Talon, who’s calling?” Maybe he should learn some manners, Pixel thought.

“H-hey Talon... Uh... How’s it going?” Pixel said.

“Pixel? Where are you, Mom and Dad have been looking for you for like, ever.”

“I’m in Cantrolot. Sorry but I Couldn’t bring you along. Nevermind that just... Where’s mom and dad?”

“They are at Town Hall, There’s an important meeting or some sort.”

“Tell them I say Hello okay?” Pixel said. Before Talon could reply Pixel turned off the spell. Pixel didn’t want to hear his excessive blabbing. Hopefully Everything would be alright.

Pixel sat in a nearby chair. Twilight had left for Ponyville while Pixel stayed behind to watch Sunet cloud. It had just been a few minutes before taking with Pixel’s younger sibling, Talon. A nurse walked up to him saying in a nervous voice.

“I assume your waiting for Miss Cloud?”

Pixel nodded and examined the nurse. He recognized her from yesterday, she stood by the door when Pixel was meeting Sunset Cloud. She wore a white doctor’s Coat. Her mane glowed, in the lights of the hospital, a Bright Maroon with stripes of Green and a little bit of Blue. Her fur color, Hiddened slightly by the white Doctor’s coat, was light grey. Her eyes were crimson. She looked pretty, Pixel could Admit that. Pixel shook his head Slightly and Replied.

“We’re you the nurse from yesterday?”

“Well, Yes, Except now I’m a doctor. Princess Twilight assigned me as a doctor just yesterday.” She scratched the back of her head as she’s spoke. She didn’t like to brag.

“Well congratulations! Miss?-”

“-Red Locke, But you can call me Locke.”

“That’s a nice name.” Pixel complimented. He sat up from his chair, and asked once more. “Why did Twilight Make you as a Doctor? Just wondering.”

She paused before answering. “All she said was that I’m a doctor and that I should be in Ponyville as fast as I could. She never told me why though.” Pixel thought about this in his head then spoke clearly.

“I think if you known, you wouldn’t do it.”

“Why? What is it?” She asked. Pixel shrugged, he himself didn’t really know what’s going on.

“I think we should should find out and see. After Sunset Cloud gets healed properly. We can head over to Twilight’s castle and talk to her. You know I’m in this too.”

“I’ve noticed that.” Awkward silence filled the void. Finally Locke spoke. “So... Nice meeting you, Pixel.”

Pixel hesitated, then he stammered, “N-nice meeting you too!” Locke gave a quick glance back to Pixel as she turned the corner. Fully out of Pixel’s sight she blushed, she smiled to herself momentaily before she shook her head violently. This story doesn’t have a Romance Tag! She thought. But she smiled at the thought that Pixel, was also Blushing.

Twilight paced around the library to her castle, her mind turning gears in her head. If she could only put the pieces together. The incident last year at the school, result in massive casualties, many ponies died of being shot. Some ponies there got murdered and ripped apart limb from limb. A year later, a incident occurs at the Lab, one guard has been found dead by burns and a open rib cage like something was eating him.

She shook her head. This doesn’t make sense. Where could this thing go, if it were surrounded by guards. Twilight banged her head with her hoof. She needs to think harder. She thought of many theories in life but couldn’t prove them. Spike walked into the library, a pile of books in claw.

“Twilight? I think I have something.”

Twilight moved her head facing Spike. She looked at the books. Most of them were just little files, if she remembered correctly those files were for the case of the Creatures. Spike walked over to her and set the books and files down on the table.

“Wow these books are really old... Where did you find them?” Twilight asked blowing the front cover which puffed a cloud of dust. She coughed, and so did Spike. Spike explained to her that these were found in the attic. Twilight nodded and opened up each book. A Picture showed on the first page of each book. They looked like a bunch of lines.

“What do you think it is?” Spike Asked leaning over the table. He turned his head to the right and then twisted upside down looking at the Pictures. Twilight looked at all of them and turned one of them around. The general idea of all these books were about Creatures from there worlds. She saw a pattern. Without thinking, Twilight used her magic to rip out each of the pages from the books. She also made the Table glow as she put each piece of Paper on it. Spike looked in the files and found more pictures with lines on them. Twisting and rotating these Pictures together made an image. Twilight slowly put the papers on the table and backed up. The image was quiet frightening. It was a ink drawing of a staillion with its lower jaw jutting out further than the upper jaw. The mane looked fiery and the hooves looked scourched. This only resembled a Demon. And she knew who this was.
