Chapter One: The Strange Book
Chapter One: The Strange Book
"The fate of Equestria does not depend on my friendships"
Peace.
It had been a month since we defeated Shadow Pony and Sunset Shimmer managed to recover the memories of her friends, peace reigned in both dimensions, I was proud of her and the achievements we had achieved with my friends.
Thanks also to the Princess Celestia who showed me the secret part of Canterlot Castle, for she can review several books of history and magic that she had not seen before. Then, since I could not stay in the library forever, I decided to take some books so I can read them in the castle.
*** *** ***
I was reading a pony history book, it was good to start reading after so much time that I was very stressed by several things that happened to me, page by page I was reading.When turning a page (about to finish the book), a page that was of a different color fell, it was gray, seeing it did not understand anything of what it said because it was in a language totally foreign to me, so I started to check the other books he had brought to see if it belonged to any.
I had been trying to find it for a long time but it was all in vain, it was not one of the books I had brought, nor did it look like an old pony language, I did not know what it was.
"Twilight what are you doing? "
I gave a jump of fright, I did not find out when Starlight entered."Hey the next one, let me know when you're going to enter."
"I'm sorry, but note that you're very interested in that book, what is it about?" she said; she was confused looking to the page, this was more important.
I thought no more and decided to pass the gray page to Starlight to see if he understood something of what he said.
"Starlight do you understand something?"I asked approaching her.
By his expression I saw that not "Twilight, it's page, where did you find it? "
"In the middle of two books that I picked up from ..." I was thoughtful because I assumed that this sheet should be from a book in the restricted section of Canterlot.
"And, what books do you speak to me, where did you pick them up from?"I ask myself, looking a little more intrigued about the origin of the page.
"It's from the secret section of the Canterlot library," I replied. Starlight turned her head, and I assumed she did not understand what I said, since she did not know that place "it's a place that Princess Celestia taught me, to help Sunset Shimmer"
"And what about if we both go to investigate a bit the restricted part of the Canterlot library" Starlight said "if it appeared in one of those books ... I guess we should find where it comes from"
I nodded and showed him a smile of emotion "It's okay, let's go"
I did not know if we would find it, so I decided to go only with Starlight, since I did not want my friends to get involved is this.
"Let's move on!!"
*** *** ***
When we arrived at the Canterlot library, it was very crowded (which was weird since I did not see many ponies reading).
"We should wait until everyone leaves to be able to enter the secret place of the library without other ponies looking at us," I told Starlight. She just nodded at what I said.
We waited until nightfall, meanwhile I had been checking other books to see if there was anything of the sheet, and as I guessed, there was nothing.
When the last pony left, we went to the back of the library where we pulled the two books that opened the secret compartment; Starlight did not look so impressed but when she reached the restricted section she was surprised by how many books there were.
She was observing how big the place was, me too since the last time I came here I could not see everything, I just wanted to help Sunset Shimmer.
Starlight left his things on a table, just like me. "We should start looking at what book this page belongs to, which apart is in a language I had never seen in another book" Starlight told me
"Very good idea Starlight, you search for the top part, and I will search in down , in order to occupy the largest amount of space"
"Very well" he replied "just let me know if you find something"
While Starlight was investigating the top part, I looked everywhere holding the books telekinetically from the shelves to see if there was any indication of where that gray page belonged that I was increasingly intrigued to know where it might have come from, since no book I had some clue about him.
The search continued, of rack to shelf but could not find anything, until I reached the end of the corridor and in the last shelf I could see that there was a small opening between the wall and the furniture, I looked at it, wrapping it with my magic I pulled it, the shelf fell, hit my side, and pushed me away from him, making me scream in fright and pain.
Starlight heard the sound of the shelf fall or maybe my scream of pain from the impact of this. "Twilight! You're good? What happened down there? "
I was in pain, luckily nothing serious happened.
"If I'm fine, a shelf broke down," I answered.
When I tried to put it in its place, I realized that behind it was a very small corridor where there was hardly entered a pony, and even it only entered if it crawled.
"Here is a small passage" I shouted to Starlight "was behind the shelf that fell, maybe here find something useful, I'll go investigate"
"Be careful Twilight" I listened to Starlight while I struggled to enter the corridor "and remember to let me know if you find something"
As I was entering I felt something strange, like that place did not belong to the library, since it felt very hot and at the same time cold, it was strange. When I reached the end of the corridor I found a small room, where I could barely enter another pony, and in the middle of the front wall where I came from I saw that there was a strange book, but there was nothing else. The book was completely black, it had no title, nor was it very thick, and it did not have so many pages. When I opened it and when I was leafing through it I realized that it was written in the same language as the page I had, so I took it with me, the strangest thing is that when I holding the book with my telekinesis, a tremendous shiver entered my body .
I went out and went to one of the tables and Starlight began to review the book, its contents were full of strange letters as if they were hieroglyphic, there was no author or evidence that someone wrote, I was confused I knew nothing about the book. When I reached the middle I noticed that it was missing a leaf, I think it was the torn leaf that I found.
Still I did not know how to translate it, it did not even work with my translation spell, I was confused because neither of us knew anything about the book or the page.
"But what kind of book is this !!, it seems that it did not belong to Equestria" I exclaimed a little angry.
Starlight looked surprised, but at the
same time confused, "That's impossible, do not you think, besides if it was not from Equestria it could be from somewhere outside of Equestria" said Starlight
"If so, how a book that was outside of Equestria would end up in this library, even kept in a hidden part behind a shelf, and no one except Luna and Celestia knew about this place," I replied to Starlight.She looked a little tired for the time we were looking for.
"I don't know, but we should take him to the castle to inspect him before dawn, do not you think?", Being tired, and somewhat hurt, I moved my head accepting what he said, apart from that we would be calmerwhen investigating the book.
It was better to go back to the castle because it was almost dawn and we did not want any pony guard to see us here, since no one else besides the two of us should know about the restricted area of the library, so wetook the book and others more than maybe we they can serve, we raised the shelving that fell down and we left, closing the library and avoiding the guards.
*** *** ***
When we arrived at the castle we agreed not to inform our friends about the book we found, since I did not want them to get involved in this, Starlight and I will have to keep the secret until nightfall, since at that time we can investigate more thoroughly about the book, without Pink (especially) or any of our friends bothering us.
For me it was already normal that things like this will happen to me, but it is the first time I will try to solve this problem without my friends, I felt it was better not to tell them anything for reasons I do not understand, infact I do not know if it will be a friendship problem but At least I'm getting Starlight's help and that was enough.
At dusk, when Princess Luna raised the beautiful moon to heaven, we waited for our friends to go home, but we forgot that Spike was here.
"Twilight you're not going to sleep," Spike told me in a soft voice, it must have been because he was very sleepy.
"No, I'll be in the library with Starlight for a few more hours and then I'll go to sleep" I answered.
"And what are you going to do in the library at this hour, is something wrong?"Spike asked.
I did not know what to answer, I was very nervous with fear of being discovered, since he was a bit talkative and could tell what we were doing to our friends (especially Rarity).
"No ... nothing happened, so ... we're just going to the library because ... I want to teach a new spell to Starlight," I said hesitantly.
"Really?"Spike was still suspicious, but what angered me most was that Starlight was not helping me at all, out of desperation I gave him a sneaky punch with my helmet, so he could follow me
When she felt it, she reacted quickly, "if Twilight is going to ... show me a new spell !?"he said in the form of a question.I wanted to wear a helmet to my face because of the response it gave but I can hold on.
After Starlight's response, I just hoped that Spike would believe it and leave us alone.
"It's okay, but do not take too long, you also have to rest" said Spike "good night"
After that he left, I was relieved that he did not discover us, so I took my books that I picked up from Canterlot and before going Starlight spoke to me with a disturbing voice "Twilight do ... where is the book".
In that moment when Starlight asked me that question I worried about where I put it, until a idea came to my mind."Oh no, I left it on the shelf in my room to keep our friends from seeing it" I put a helmet on my face, I did not know what to do I was worried that I had seen it, luckily Spike went to cleanup before going to sleep I carefully went to the room, I had to go through where Spike was cleaning up so I did go more quiet possible.
"Twilight, what do you do" I heard a voice behind me, again was between the sword and the wall, did not know to answer.
"This, I'm going to pick up a book that I forgot in my room," he was telling the truth, so I can not blame myself for lying to Spike again.
"And what book is it?" asked Spike. "it's one about spells, but I do not have time to talk, Starlight is waiting for me"
Spike started walking beside me and asked me "Until what time are you going to be with Starlight?"
I was already a little upset by her questions "Only a few hours, you rest, goodnight Spike"
"It's fine but do not take too long, as long as they both not make a lot of noise and they do not let me sleep, goodnight Twilight"
I grabbed the book from my shelf and ran to where Starlight was.
When I arrived with her, calming all my nerves I looked at her, "Here it is", Starlight quickly grabbed my books, "very well then we go to your library"
*** *** ***
We started looking for some spell which will help us with this strange language, reading the books I brought from Canterlot, but we did not find anything.
"This does not work, here there is nothing, nothing and nothing, curse on all the books I brought and none is useful" I said angrily.
I was feeling helpless for not finding anything, until I raised my head and watched Starlight silently reading several books."Starlight, did you find anything?"
She looked at me "it seems that yes, maybe if we mix these spells it could work, look at this has images of the language we want"
I was relieved and happy, I knew that Starlight was going to help me solve this puzzle.
"And what are those spells?"I asked curiously.
"Well it's a mixture between a LightTraslation spell and an AncientZebra spell, but we can only translate a page, you have to wait a day before you can use it again the AncientZebra"
I did not know what to say or which page to translate, but I was impressed that Starlight could have found those spells, at that moment I thought about the loose page that I found in some books.
"Starlight, and if we translate the page that had the broken part that we found?"I asked.
"I think it would be fine, it seems it was important, someone ripped it and put it in another book for a pony to find it, or so I think" she replied, she grabbed the two spells and wrote them apart giving me one to my ."All right let's do this," Starlight exclaimed, very sure of what she was doing.
I had to do the LightTraslation spell, while Starlight would do the other
"Are you ready Starlight?"Asked
She finished reading the spell, set the page aside and settled her head.
We were going to do it, it was only in my mind that this worked and if we could translate it, I would end my doubts, or in this case, just from the page, "good at one, at two and three"
We fired the spell at the gray page, the whole room was shining, the books in the library were shaking, even others were falling to the floor; but luckily, Spike continued sleeping.
Starlight looked at me and said "a... little... more!", I looked at her and continued to make efforts until I finished the spell.
When I opened my eyes I got up a little weak and went to the table, it worked, we were able to translate the sheet, happy to have achieved it, we saw that it was like a poem, it seemed to be a spell, so I started reading loudly so that Starlight also listened :
"Three powers will be required
So that a portal can be activated
Entering a new world
Where the good is already hidden.
Twelve crystals have to be activated
If this strange place wants to get in
Showing the way to the truth
They can enter, in the world of the dark"
When we finished reading it, a loud noise was heard in one of the rooms of the castle, we did not know it was so we went to investigate. It turned out that it was the room where the mirror portal was but it had a very sharp change, the entire edge was dark green, the windows surrounding the portal were black, the pony above the portal had a malevolent shape and a smile that impelled fear; the only normal thing was the center of the mirror. I thought that the real portal will appear when the twelve crystals are activated as the page said.
We were surprised by the change that the portal had.
"But, what happened with the portal?, his change that he had suddenly is very strange," I was without anything else to say.
"Wait a minute" Starlight levitated the translated page "Here it says that you need three ponies with magic, I mean it refers to unicorns, to open the portal I saw the back of the sheet and read that there were three different spells to activate the portal , I think that's why he said that three unicorns were needed, and I think they should have advanced magic. "
She was right, I remembered that part when I pronounced it, but to whom we would turn to help us open the portal. I felt that something was driving me to open the portal, but I also felt that not everyone (especially my friends and Spike) could find out.
"It's true but who would help us, Celestia and Luna I do not think they can because they have a lot of work to do in Equestria and Candace is also busy governing the Crystal empire, and I do not remember another unicorn with powerful magic to help us."
Starlight was thinking, while I also to find a pony to help us open the portal but it was difficult because apart from the princesses, there is no other pony who knows at least make magic spells.
"What about Sunburst?" Asked "He knows a lot about magic"
Starlight shook his head "He knows magic, but I do not think he's interested or knows how to deal with something like that"
I ducked my head, I could not think of anyone else. In that Starlight approached the portal "And what if we asked for help to that pony I met in the other dimension, I think it was called Sunset Shimmer, or I'm wrong"
I raised my head showing him a smile "It's an excellent idea Starlight, the three together we could open the portal." The mirror had no center change so I think there is a possibility that I can come here.
"Although the first time I saw her she did not even remember that she had a horn," Starlight said wryly.
"It may have been a while since she was in Equestria," I said, "but she was a student of Princess Celestia, just like me, so I should remember something"
"It's okay, but I just hope that if she remembers and has time to come because I think she's in a school, right?" I ask myself.
"I also hope that, she thinks that it could be some time to come" I replied, but I was happy that she has the possibility to come, so I started looking for the book that I contacted with Sunset to ask if she could come.
*** *** ***
"Hello Sunset, are you free today or do you have things to do"
I was quietly waiting for his answer, hoping that if she could come to help us and so we can do something that is not a friendship problem. Until finally the book vibrated.
"Yes, I have time, what do you need Twilight?"
Without waiting, I started writing in the book.
"Well, Sunset turns out that I found a spell, that when I said it, the portal, where you always come from, change in its entirety, the thing is that I need you to come to Equestria, here I will explain everything with more details"
The book was unanswered for a long time, I wanted to know what happened with the mirror portal, until she answered me.
"It's fine I'll come right away, you wait for me"
I was happy that he accepted and we were three so we could activate the portal.
But a gesture of concern in Starlight caught my attention.
"What's up Starlight?" I asked, she looked at me
"One of the spells uses dark magic" she replied
"That does not matter, I know that the one who does it, will be able to stand it, the important thing is that it works and if something bad happens we stop the spell" I told Starlight to cheer her up a bit.
"It's okay I trust you Twilight" he replied.
He was looking at the spells and the black book to see if he understood anything, but he did not understand nor was there any reference to who could write it.
Almost fifteen minutes had passed, and that, Starlight turns to the portal, "look at the portal is shining"
I knew what that meant, Sunset Shimmer was coming.
She left the portal and I saw that she was a little tired, I think she was sleeping when I called her, rightly she was slow to respond; It makes sense it was very dark, I only appreciate that you have heard the book.
"Hello Sunset!" I said very happy to see her, Sunset hugged me and also went to hug Starlight.
"Hi girls, how have you been ...?" Sunset said while yawning. I was happy to see her.
"We're fine," I answered, it had not been long since we last saw each other but I was still happy.
She turned to the portal and had a great impression when she saw how the portal was changed "WHAO good and what is the problem they have now ?, and why the portal is different?" Asked Sunset.
I looked at it and turned to read the sheet about the 3 spells that Starlight spoke to me "To begin with we found this sheet that belonged to a strange book," I said, showing her the book and began to review it, by her expression I knew she did not know either what language was that.
Sunset finished seeing the book "And you managed to know what it says?" Asked
Grasp I showed the page translated "We only managed to translate this page and according to the writing it takes three ponies with magic to activate the portal, it means unicorns, there you enter your Sunset, the three together we could activate the portal, the thing is that these spells are very rare so it will take a little time to learn them "
Sunset was looking at me strange but then his face changed "And what is the spell that I will do?", In that I started thinking, Sunset did not know as much about magic as Starlight so I gave him the spell that I found easier to perform.
"Sunset you will do the InfinityDeep spell that is the easiest spell," I said. I was sure that she would master that spell easily.
When I saw that Sunset was looking at me weird, but I knew why.
"Do not misunderstand me," I said, thinking I was getting that face because of what I had said "but I guess you have not had enough practice with magic lately"
Sunset, all she did was nodded, I think he was still doubting.
"what I will do Twilight?, will not you have forgotten about me?" Starlight asked. And I had already forgotten about Starlight, I think the excitement of seeing Sunset distracted me a little.
"You will perform the spell of WorldTravel and finally I would perform the spell of DarkDimension and with that we will open the portal" explaining better each spell I told them "his two spells will be directed to the portal right where the mirror is and minewill be shot at pony" I was doing the spell that requires dark magic, but I did not want something to happen to my friends.
"Are you going to be okay?"Starlight asked, regarding the spell he was going to do.
"Do not worry I'll be fine" I said with a smile.Starlight just nodded.
"Since we're going to activate a portal to another dimension, and I'm sure you're not just going to 'see' what happens," said Sunset, "we should go prepare if we're going to want to seewhat's in the other place"
"You're right we should prepare to go and mainly take the necessary resources to be there maybe one day, or if something interesting happens on the other side two days" I replied "let's get ready and rest a while, I'll see you tomorrow in the night"
"See you girls tomorrow, and do not forget to get ready, I'm kind of excited and I'll also tell my friends that I'm going to be absent so they do not worry when I do not show up" said Sunset.I could see her excited, I think by entering a new dimension or participate in some magic after so many years that she was out of Equestria, since in Canterlot High I guess it was not the same.
But Sunset was right, I guess we should talk to our friends so they do not worry either, especially Spike, I think he should not come as he did when he first joined me.
*** *** ***
Throughout the day we have avoided talking to our friends about the topic of the portal, it was not difficult since they did not know anything about it.But if I spoke with Spike, I told him to stay, that this occasion could not accompany us as he would warn them to the others that we had gone elsewhere and we could not tell them, but making it very clear that I did not mention to Sunset or the portal.
Later that night we set out to prepare our backpacks to take what I needed, so I took some apples, bottled water and some books to distract me, but I also brought the book I found in the Canterlot library to see if anyone in that place knew anything.
Then I got in touch while I was waiting for Starlight to arrive."Sunset is about time, we are ready"
After a long wait (approximately 15 to 20 minutes) I received a response from him
"I'm sorry for delaying but I just got free, we were in a rehearsal with the 'Rainbow' and I had to be present, in a moment I arrived"
In that Starlight entered already ready with her backpack on her back approaching where she was "I'm ready Twilight, where's Sunset she should be here to practice her spell"
"In a moment until then we two should be practicing ours," I replied.
*** *** ***
It was already midnight, and I was not sure this would work, they were very strange spells and I did not know how long that book had been there or with what purpose they wrote it.
We waited for a while Starlight and I while we watched as Sunset practiced the spell.After an hour, and many failed attempts, he managed to dominate it, so we went to activate the portal.
I approached the two "Sunset, Starlight are ready, you know your spells?" The two responded with nodding, so I stood in front of the portal, Sunset was on my left while Starlight on my right, I was not I knew if I was sure of what I was doing, but we would not go back.
"It's okay, we started firing our spells in three, two, one, now!"
We shot all at the same time towards the portal, we observed how the crystals were taking on a gray color, and the center of the mirror was changing. While I was throwing it felt like something was coming off inside me and that was causing me to run out of strength, I saw that Sunset was running out and it looked like it was going to fall to the ground, so I held her with my telekinesis, which made me tired more "you can do it Sunset, uses all your strength and we will activate the portal !! "
When I saw Starlight, I noticed that she was not running out as much as we did, until the last crystal was activated, and the pony that should have been above shone and disappeared, we had managed to activate the portal.
The mirror was no longer the same, it was in a dark green tone and everything else (except the top pony that disappeared) still had the same green tones as before.
The three of us were super exhausted, Sunset who felt more exhausted than us, I guess it was because she had not practiced before and that spell was difficult for her.I was very weak I felt they had drained all my energy and magic. Starlight looked exhausted, but not as much as me or Sunset.
When I saw the portal I knew that now it was impossible for Sunset to return to his world.
"We should rest before we enter the portal, it could be an overload on our bodies if we get into this condition, we'll better sleep and tomorrow very early we enter the portal," I said.
"It's okay but we'll go and we will not stay long, as you said we should be a day or two maximum, okay?" Said Sunset. I just nodded and looked at Starlight who also agreed.
*** *** ***
We had already woken up a few moments ago, it was almost a little after six in the morning and we went to breakfast, taking advantage of the fact that Spike sleeps too much we did not tell him anything.
I approached Sunset and Starlight "now, what if we are going to find out what's on the other side of the portal?" I asked Starlight and Sunset.
"It's time to know what's on the other side," said Sunset.
We grabbed the provisions that we had enlisted for this trip
"Are you ready to go to another dimension?"I asked, with a smile in my face.
"of course!!" Starlight responded enthusiastically.
"Yes I'm ready," Sunset was already ready, so we grabbed the helmets because we did not know what was going to happen when we got there.
'I have the feeling that we are going to have an adventure very different from the previous ones' my mind told me.
I felt bad for not saying anything to my friends, but Spike would warn them of my absence and that partly calmed me down but I had in mind that we would not be long, I just said it was to go and see what that place wasand then we would go back.
Then we looked at each other, we began to move slowly to the portal, thousands of thoughts were running through my mind, and we entered a new dimension unknown to the three, with the fear of not knowing what we would find.
