A Drago of Dragons

After making Featherweight to not post that and dragging him to the hospital, he should be fine tomorrow. I made my way to the school. Hmmm.... I never knew that my eyes produced a very faint 'dark magic' smoke. I got to be careful with it. Anyway, the school grounds were a live with the fillies and colts of the town, minus Feather, of course. I noticed the crusaders over by the swings. Moving over, I heard, "Scoots, what did ya do to Featherweight?"

"I didn't do anything with him, What did you do Sweetie Belle?"

"What? No, nothing. You Apple Bloom?"

"Nope, nothin'."

"Arg! Where did he go?"

"Looking for Featherweight?"

"Yeah." Apple Bloom looked over, "ya know where he is?"

"Oh he's just in the hospital, was in bad 'shape'"

"Oh I hope he will be ok." Sweetie gasp.

I then grabbed his camera out from nowhere, "I did git his camera."

"Perfect!" Apple Bloom cheered. "You are now our new photographer!"

"Oh yay...!"

Right now, I am currently in the spa. Along with the Main 6 and Spike.

"The new Gabby Gums just came out!" Rainbow busted in through another door. "'The Great and Powerful Trixie's Secrets Revealed!'"

"Sorry Rainbow darling, we already read that one. Come on, relax, have a hooficure, it feels amazing." Rarity pulled up a chair next to her.

"Did you forget who you're talking to? The day I get a hooficure is the day I turn in my daredevil license." Rainbow stated. "Besides, I haven't read this Gabby Gums yet."

"Well, do it quietly, will ya?" Spike sighed, "Some of us are trying to unwind here!"

"I like Gabby Gums too, but don't you think she can be a little mean?" Twilight pointed out.

"Whatever do you mean Twilight?"

" 'Celestia Just Like Us'? Gabby Gums doesn't value anypony's privacy." Twilight slammed the newspaper into the spa floor.

"Oh, lighten up Twilight, it's nothing but harmless gossip!"

"Yeah, Twilight, I mean listen to this one." Pinkie said as she splashed into the spa pool," 'Mayor Not Naturally Gray!' The Mayor in a mane dyeing scandal? Who wouldn't wanna read that?"

"I just can't help feeling sorry for the ponies featured in her columns. It's gotta be a little embarrassing."

"Are you kidding? Do you know how awesome it is to get your name in the paper?"

"Rainbow, why don't you join me in one of these delicious hooficures?" Rarity patted the chair next to her.

"It's that good, huh? Well, maybe just one little hoof." Rainbow gave in. She went over to the empty chair and rested.

I take the picture. *Click* Perfect.

Rainbow yelps. "Forget it," she launched up into the air. "I don't like ponies touching my hooves." She then settled back far away from the hoof touching ponies. "Man... I'd love it if Gabby Gums did a story on me."

"She did one on me." Spike stated matter-of-factly. He was then promptly surrounded be the others. "What?!" I take another picture. *Click* Heheh. I then took my leave.

"Hey Sweetie Belle? Do you know where Rarity keeps her diary?"

She gave me a mischievous grin. "She usually keeps it on her bedside drawer along with her makeup. Here's a key for the front door."

"Thank you." I stride over to Rarity's Boutique. Using the key to unlock the door, I walked my way up the stairs to Rarity's room. Inside was what you would expect, a bed with drapes, a mirror with every single makeup supply you can think of, and the mentioned bedside drawer. opening it up, there were extra makeup, under it, was the diary. "This will be perfect."

"Hello?" I heard from downstairs.

"Oh ****" I forgot to shut the door back. Closing the drawer i open the window and dived right out of it. At the bottom of the window, was freaking Twilight Sparkle. "Explain yourself Harbringer." I shrink. "Uhhhhh"

"Now!"

"Gabby Gums!" I cower.

"You work for her?" She asked.

"Well.... sorta, I am just the photographer as of now as the normal photographer is in the hospital."

She glared. **DING** I heard a ding sound. I saw something appear on the bottom right side of my computer screen.

Achievement unlocked.

You gave Twilight a reason to dislike you.

Oh how wonderful. "What else as you been doing that involves exposing us? What do you have right now? Who is this Gabby Gums?!"

"Uhhhhhh..." I clear my throat, "Sorry Twilight, but that information is a 'school secret'."

"And what's that supposed to mean?!"

"It means I can't tell you."

"A..." she opened her mouth as if to speak, but promptly closed it. "Fine sure, shouldn't have worded it like that."

"No you shouldn't have. Now.... if you excuse me, I need to report back." I immediately flew off.

"HEY! Come back here!" I think she tried to use her magic to stop me.... I think, I say that because I saw this purple coloring surround me, it brushed right off. She was now out of my sight.

Later with Twilight and the others

"'Applejack Asleep on the Job!' Can y'all believe this?!" Applejack yelled in defiance over the newspaper headline. "And this one: 'Big McIntosh – What's He Hiding?' Who the hay does this Gabby Gums think she is?!"

"Yeah, and listen to this one, 'Twilight Sparkle: I Was a Canterlot Snob. A well-placed scaly source close to the prissy pony says Twilight Sparkle thinks Ponyville is nothing but muddy roads and low-class rubes.' Scaly? Spike!" Twilight ordered the scaly source. "How could you say such a thing?"

"I-I-I well, I didn't! Gabby Gums made that up! I never said anything like that! They made it all up!"

"Darlings please! She's just a harmless schoolpony engaged in a little harmless gossip." Rarity laid back in her chair. "You're really making too big a deal out of this."

"But it's all lies! Gabby Gums prints whatever she wants! She doesn't care whose reputation she destroys! This one, 'Fluttershy Has Tail Extensions!'" Said pony shrunk under the counter. "Or this! 'Pinkie Pie is an Out-of-Control Party Animal!' which is not that surprising actually. Oh, look! According to this one, the Cakes are breaking up!" And fermentation ponies crashed through a door with their foals in hoof, "We are?!"

There was another crash, from the front door. In came Rainbow Dash, carrying a literal stack of newspapers. "Well, my life is officially over." She placed the stack on the floor and grabbed one, "Gabby Gums has made it to Cloudsdale."

"'Rainbow Dash: Speed Demon or Super Softie?'?!" Twilight read.

" I grabbed as many copies as I could, but it was too late!" she started crying. "I'm a laughing stock!"

"See, Rarity? Your so-called 'harmless gossip' can be very hurtful!"

"Honestly, you ponies have no sense of humor. So she tweaks a few ponies every now and then, maybe they deser–" She never finished that statement as when she flipped the page, "I'll destroy her! 'The Drama-Queen Diaries' She's reprinted my diary! How could Gabby Gums possibly get access to my private diary?!"

"I know how..." Twilight mentioned.

"Who?!" Rarity asked with vengeance.

"Well, remember that break in from earlier?"

"Well yeah darling, its kinda hard to forget."

"Well, I caught the pony who did it, and they were a temporary photographer for Gabby Gums..."

"And you didn't bother to mention that to us?" Rainbow asked her.

"Well... I guess I should have. Anyway, I believe he stole your diary."

"I'll destroy him!" Rarity swore vengeance. "How did he know where to look? The only ponies who know about it are me and... *gasp* Sweetie Belle.

"We've got to put a stop to this once and for all! Sweetie Belle's on the newspaper staff. Maybe she knows who Gabby Gums is."

"My sister would never associate with anyone as beastly as Gabby Gums! I resent you even suggesting such a thing, Twilight! Why, she's the most innocent, most lovely–" that all changed when she looked in Sweetie's saddle bag, "–most evil pony in Equestria! How could my own sister steal my private diary? How could my own sister be... Gabby Gums?"

Back with Harbringer

When I made it back to the press, I noticed a bandaged up Featherweight by the door. I hoofed him back his camera and he nodded.

"Harbringer," Diamond said at her desk up front.

"Yeah?"

"What ever did you do with Rarity's diary?"

"Well, as I was caught last time, I gave it to Sweetie Belle."

"Et tu, Gabby Gums?!"

"You know?!" Sweetie Belle gasped, "How'd you find out?!" Rarity threw Sweetie's bag with the diary in it, "The gilded pages of your betrayal!"

"Oh, yeah. B-but it wasn't my idea!"

"Then whose was it?! This is my private diary!"

"Harbringer." Sweetie gave away.

"So he broke into my boutique, stole my diary," Rarity said, "and reprinted it!"

"I gave him the key!"

"Sweetie Belle!" Rarity yelled. "You're not supposed to give other ponies the key to our home!"

"But why?" Sweetie question.

"Oh uhh..." Rarity staled, "well, some ponies might come in, and Steal valuables and resell them for bits."

"But, don't you have that spell from Twilight that notifies you when..... unauthorized ponies come in?" Sweetie realized that she sent Harbringer to his doom.

"Yes I do." Rarity stated, "and that's how Twilight found the pony called Harbringer when he jumped out the window."

"Oh."

"How could you do this to me?! You stole my secret diary and published it for all the world to read! Gossip can be a very hurtful thing. It is an invasion of privacy, just like when I snooped through your saddlebag. You didn't like that much, did you?"

"Well, no..."

"What is important is that you understand how your column makes the ponies that you're writing about feel!"

"I do understand, and we've all been feeling guilty. I don't know about Harbringer," Sweetie stopped, "but we just want our cutie marks so badly!"

"Do you really think that writing nasty things and making everypony feel horrible is your destiny?" Rarity sighed.

"Well, when you put it that way..."

"I don't think so!" Sweetie hung her head. "Now, go back to the Press and quit! Bring your friends too."

"Yes Rarity." She then walked out. When she closed the door, Rarity said, "Uhhg, I can't believe you did this Sweetie, hmmm," Rarity put a hoof to her chin, "the way she said, 'I don't know about Harbringer,' about feeling guilty makes me worried, a lot. I'm gonna have to ask Rainbow to keep an eye on him from now on. After I find out what he looks like. Might as well ask Twilight as she talked with him." She then walked out.

"No!" Diamond yelled at the crusaders as I watched form beside Diamond, "I won't let you quit!"

"But the gossip we've been printing is hurting everypony's feelings!" Sweetie stated.

" Feelings?! I don't care about feelings!" Diamond said, "Gabby Gums is my bread and butter, and I'm not gonna let you goody-two-horseshoes take that away from me!"

"We're sorry, Diamond Tiara, but we've made our decision." Sweetie stated as she, Scootaloo, and Apple Bloom nodded.

"Yeah, you can't force us to keep gossiping." Scootaloo laughed.

Diamo nd smirked, "When you see these... you may not want to quit after all." From inside a bag, she pulled three photos, one with Sweetie Belle wearing an embarrassing outfit from Rarity with feathers, next was a photo of Scootaloo in the mud, and last was a photo of Apple Bloom's baby pictures. All three blushed. "I told Featherweight to document everything..." Diamond smirked, "...And that's exactly what he did."

"Gimme those!" Scootaloo made a grab for them, put Diamond pulled away. "Sorry, girls, property of the Foal Free Press. And if Gabby Gums really does go into retirement, I'll need something to fill that empty column space. Now get out there and bring me more Gabby Gums!"

"Harbringer," Sweetie said, "help."

I shack my head, "Sorry. Not much I can do."

"BRING ME MORE GABBY!" Diamond commanded. The Crusaders promptly ran out. She then turned to me, "Why didn't you even try to grab them?"

"What do you think you are to them?"

"Uggg, I'm their, and your superior!" She yelled in my face, "You four are Blank-Flanks! I have a cutie mark! You all are below me!"

I nod, "Really? Just because you have a cutie mark, a special talent, you say you are better than those who haven't found their's? You don't know what they'll be good at, your cutie mark is about getting other ponies to do your bidding,you don't know what they will be, heck, they can even be good at something important."

She huffed, "As if! I am the most important, and richest, pony here besides my family!"

"Ahh yes, Filthy and Spoiled, what is it that you think about them?"

"Wha- well, " Diamond stopped to think, "they are rich, they give me everything...."

"Yes but, do you love them? And do they love you?"

"Ahh---..................................." Diamond said nothing.

"There we go, you are lonely, you say you got everything, you are rich, you can get almost anything, but the one thing you can't get, is actual love and true friendships."

"But, Silver....."

"Is your only friend. But she only is so she doesn't get bullied."

"But she has a cutie mark!"

"You haven't been looking at who you were bullying. You just do it.”

“I....”

”No one even really likes you.”

“Ponies like me!”

”Do they? Or do they just act like they do so you won’t get mad?”

“Well....” she stopped, “hey you! Come here!” A pony arrived. “Do you like me?”

“.....uhhhh... welll....”

”You see how she hesitates Diamond? They don’t actually like you. You can leave now.” The pony walked away with questions. ”So, what will it be Diamond~?”

She said nothing. ”Hmmm.... I’ll let you think.” I left through the door.

I made my way to Twilight. Around her tree, I saw this purple-ish thing surrounding it. Deciding not to worry about it, I walk through it to the door and knocked. “What the.... didn’t I put up a shield?” I heard from Twilight inside. Ah so that’s what is was. I heard her walking over to the door. “Ok you....four?....” she said as she opened the door, she was clearly wasn’t expecting me and only me to be there, or me getting past the barrier. But then she regained her composure, “Well, you got my attention by somehow passing through the barrier, so tell me, what do you want now?”

”Well,

“Actually no,” how did you get past the shield?!”

”Heheh. I have my ways. Anyway, I’m just here to get a book.”

“Fine. Take a look around.” I did what she said and look around. Inside was shelves filled with books about Equestrian history, magic, ponies, the sun and moon, and other things. But in the back, was a single book. ”Hey Twilight, what’s that?” Said pony came around the corner, and when she saw the book I was mentioning, she quickly tried pulling me away with her magic, with again failed. “What the...?” She then reserted using her hooves to relocate me. “Don’t go near that book! Never! It’s too dangerous!”

”Why?”

“Well uhhh....” she thought of an answer. I currently look at her with a face of ‘yes~~~~’. “Fine, it’s about the ’VOID’ and it’s inhabitants. And they are dangerous and unpredictable and some are inappropriate for others.” She closed the door that led to it. “So stay away from it.”

”O-Ok” The void and its creatures? Hmmmm.... I need that. But how do I get it? After a few minutes, I decided to put my plan into action. My 'plan' just being me walking in and taking it. Which worked wonderfully, no lasers, alarms, or anything! C'mon Twilight, somepony could have stolen that! HAHA!! "Twilight! I couldn't find anything!"

"Ok!"

"So I'll be leaving!"

"Bye!" I left through the door. holding the book in front of me, I noticed it was so dusty. I left for a bench I can use to read it. Locating one, I began to read.

Chapter One

The Void

The Void is a place inaccessible to anything not from there. Our only way that we know its there is from the creatures that tell us about it. The Void is said to be a completely empty place, empty of everything, with creatures that are horrifying and some might bring the end of us if they so please. From testing, defense is not trivial, a good, but unreliable because of its users, are the Elements of Harmony, See "Elements of Harmony: A Reference Guide". From the descriptions given, it would drive any non-inhabitant insane.

Chapter Two

Inhabitants

Some inhabitants of this place are described as horrifying. Most are actually harmless, some attack anything that is not from the Void. The inhabitants range from small, to impossibly huge. Not much is actually known about the inhabitants, all that is really know is that they are dangerous. If one is sighted, report to the nearest princess or user of the Elements, do not engage.

Well that was informative. I log off. When I went to bed, I dreamed of the world of Equestria.
