Will 'O' Wisp

Chapter 3: A New Friend (I think).

We enter the village while it’s still asleep it was the only thing we both could think of to doge the pink mare. I was wearing the cloak over to cover my back and wings and the hood was up covering my face in shadows, in the morning light. Some shops were only just opening their doors to the passing ponies. Then I see her, pink mare practical full of energy you can feel it flowing off her. Luckily for us she was heading the other way, away from the main part of town towards the apple orchid.  We both heave a sigh of relief as she leaves the village. I look around for the first time in my life I am some were else then the ever-free. The town was bright and colourful; nothing like the city ever-free was before the royal sisters left to make Canterlot but still a site to see. The building that Pinkie Pie came out off look like a big cake, another building looked like jester’s hat. It was a nice town and it could be like this if I didn’t kill off the Will ‘O’ Wisps.

“Willow my dear, we’re all most there.”  I look up at my friend. We both have learnt so much from each other. We both live in the Ever-Free for different points. Mine I have lived there all my life hers because it’s more natural than the rest of Equestria and naturally close to her home land. And now I have a problem that she can’t help me with but in a way she is. Zecora stop so suddenly I almost keep walking. She had her head on the side like she was listen to some thing, then it come to my own ears

“Spike! Spike. Oh good your up.”  Said a young mare, I look towards the voice hoping I get to see the mare. The library was in front of us it was one of the tallest buildings there; well it’s not really a building but a tree. Zecora had told me about it but to see it with your own eyes is better than being told about it. With one quick look at me Zecora went up and knocked on the door.

The door was opened by a sleepy eyed dragon, a purple and green baby dragon, and the first thing I noticed was it had no wings.

“Hello Spike. Can Twilight talk?”  Cool, Spike is the dragon. Who had a dragon? I ask myself then almost hoof planted my face. Derp. Zecora told me, Twilight has a dragon as her assistant.

“Twilight Zecora’s here and she has somepony with her” Spike called to a pile of books.

“I’ll be there in a sec” said the pile of books, as more books were thrown on top. No the voice came from behind the pile of books.

Spike sighed. “Come in Zecora and um…”

“Willow” Zecora answered short and simple.

“And I’m the one who needs” Stupid. Stupid me I should of stayed quite. He is going to notice I’m different. He raised an eyebrow. “… Um … I need help”

“What with? Astronomy, Psychology, literacy…”   I looked over to the pile of books as a lavender clouded mare popped her head over the pile.  “Spike you didn’t tell me she a unicorn”

Not exactly I thought, I look down “my talent’s magic” I mumbled.

“My friend is very talent, her trouble is her gift”

Twilight looked a Zecora with misunderstanding first then knowledge. She looked down at Spike “Spike can you pleases take Willow to my study, I need to have a word with Zecora”

The purple dragon looked up at the lavender head before it diapered behind the pile of books again, he let out a sigh as he touched my left foreleg “Come with me if you please miss Willow”

I looked over to Zecora with worry, she smiled and gave me a nod of encouragement.

“No need to yelp, for you need some help”

I look back down to Spike he gave me a smile that was full of cheek and warmth.

“If it helps my bark is worse than my bite” he said with as much cheek and warmth as his smile that I found myself smile back.

I found strength from it to make myself talk “Lead the way and it’s just Willow”

As I followed Spike up the stairs I got I glimpse of the mare of the library. She had a lavender coat, her mane and tale was an indigo with a two colour stipe though them. The stipe was a dark violet and magenta. Her Cutie Mark was a six point magenta star with a white six point star behind it and five smaller white six point stars around the main one.  For some reason I have seen it before but where or it means something important and I should know what it symbolizes.  I put the idea to the back of my mind as we walk into a cosy but messy study there were book piled up on all sorts of things.  The dragon sighed as he picked up a few book and put them back onto the shelf. I picked up a few with my magic and pasted them to him. He gave me a look of confusion.

“What I can’t help?” I asked.

He shook his head as to clear the cobwebs of thought “no... I mean yes, I was just surprised that’s all… I mean I don’t know you and you don’t know me but you still took it to yourself to help me”

“You looked like you could uses some help, and I like to make some more friends for Zecora is my only friend” I said as I looked down at the oak floor, oak has a different grain pattern than weeping willow I notices.

“Thank you, and if it all the same to you, with that act of kindness I consider you as a friend.”
