There are No Monsters in Canterlot

by Nobodyslament
There have long been rumors of the castle dungeons. They are rarely used, and patrolled by only a few guards. But there has always been one prisoner. One who should never be allowed to see the light of day.

Celestia has kept a secret. A creature contained inside the deepest dungeon of Canterlot. Behind vaults of iron and mithril, it lives the life of a hermit. It writes it draws, but most importantly, it thinks. The outside world has few major secrets for the creature. By the few who know of it, it is a prophet who is never wrong. Its statements are always true, and it's warning always come to pass.

King Emerald had captured it and tale had spread to both Celestia and Luna when they ascended. Now it's time for Twilight to learn. She must meet the creature for herself, and see the reason why the princesses are so insistent that there are no monsters in Canterlot.
