Book Report (Twilight First Person)

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

I was at Canterlot on royal business. Princess Celestia had arranged to meet me in pony regarding my lessons about friendship. However, during my stay there were times I was given some free time. I spent much that free time at the Royal Canterlot Library. I found a mostly unknown part of the Library. I've never seen this part of the library, so it must have some amazing books for me to read.

I read a book in the wing. It was a part of Equestrian history, on the Elements of Harmony. It is said that the original elements of harmony originated and descended from six different ponies.


Star Swirl the Bearded, a powerful unicorn sage. He created many spells of the pre-classical and classical era. It was said he was related to the Royal Family. This has yet to be confirmed.

General Spectrum, one of Celestia's most trusted and loyal Pegasus generals of the Solar Army. He was famous for his final attack on Discord's Armies in the First Discord War. Legend has it that he was the first pony to perform the legendary Sonic Rainboom, ultimately uniting the six heroes.

Apple Gavel, a judge of the highest court. Despite being an Earth Pony, she had limited magical abilities, hence bringing out honesty out of everypony, and providing justice for all.

Platinum II, the direct descendant of Princess Platinum of the Old Unicorn Kingdom. It was said her beauty caused many civil wars.

Fuschia the Harlequin. She was once said to be Discord's lover, but was thought to have died. She had recalled no memory of being with Discord after her apparent disappearance. Everypony learned of her past relation with Discord only after his demise.

Heavenly Breeze the Humble. Little is known about him, except that he was a kind and sincere pony, as well as an avid lover of nature. It was said that his sincerety and serenity inspired peace and security amongst ponies that met him.

Little is known of what happened, but it is said that their deaths were not in vain. Their last dying attack, led by Star Swirl the Bearded, had led to the creation of the Elements of Harmony, which stopped Discord once and for all. While it did ravage Old Canterlot, wiping out all the citizens of Old Canterlot, ultimately the war against Discord was won.

Only Star Swirl the Bearded had lived to tell the tale. However, it was said he went away to a distant land. Nopony had ever seen him since.


I finally had a chance to speak with the Princess. As I was reading the book of Equestrian History, a guard came in the library and said that the Princess wanted to see me. I snuck the book with me, so that I can read it later. It wasn't stealing, after all. I was going to...return it...

Anyways I went to the Princess's study room. We initially just spoke about the past letters; a recap of the lessons I learned. We had a good discussion. We even had a chance to talk about things that weren't mentioned in the letters. Princess Cadence and Shining Armour also briefly stopped by to chat.

We then had a cup of tea back in the Princess's study room. Eventually, however, she discovered that I snuck one of her books with me. I was terrified. I was caught stealing, not just from anypony, but from the ruler of all of Equestria.

"I...I..." was all I was able to stammer.

"Twilight..." she said.

"I...I'm so sorry..." I stammered. "I just wanted to..."

She raised a hoof and stopped me from speaking any further.

"Twilight. You know stealing is wrong." the Princess said sternly. "I'm afraid I'll have to punish you.."

I was devastated, but realized there was no other choice.

"Once I send you back to Ponyville, you will be sent a parcel. And as punishment, you will write me a book report on the book I send you."

"Okay Princess," I said weakly.

Finally, after some time had passed, I was sent back home.

Just outside the castle grounds, before I was to be sent off back to Ponyville on pegasi-chariots, Princess Celestia wanted to tell me something.

"Remember the book report, my dear Twilight." she said.

I replied with a simple nod.

As the Princess appeared to get smaller and smaller, as I went farther away, I began to wonder what was the book that Princess Celestia would send me. It would be the thing that would keep me curious until I finally got the book.


Meanwhile...in a different land...

A young man, with black hair, wearing an impressive blue military outfit, was sitting at his office desk. He was filling out paperwork that he had been meaning to work on, but slacked off for most of the time he did have the time to work on it. The paperwork just kept piling up. This man, Colonel Mustang, groaned.

He began to look through the papers. He took a random file of military information. From Eastern Command, it seems. He began to read the dossier.


Name: Unknown (Code name : "Ditzy" )

Age: Unknown

Height: ~4"

Weight: Unknown (approx 100lb)

Hair colour: Blonde

Eye colour: Gold

Skin colour: Grey

While not actually a human, she appears to exhibit human-like qualities. Possibly a chimera. If it is a chimera, it is a mix of equine, bird, and possibly human. May be suffering from defects. Eyes appear to be the only hint for this. Possibly capable of speech. Does not appear to employ Alchemy whatsoever. "Ditzy" took a book, and little else. Appears to simply drift about. Does not appear to have connections with Ishvalans. Interrogation attempts were futile. Possesses the ability to fly.


"Pfft. A prank? And on a military dossier?" Mustang muttered. "It'll be a long day..."
