1.0 (Prologue)
“Character — the willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life — is the source from which self-respect springs.”
― Joan Didion
Thunder racked Ponyville with heavy rain to contend with, a figure dressed in black darted from block to block as they flew in a shivering fit, they were carrying a basket around their arms, shielded by the warmth and the cape adorned.
They finally reached their destination, it was essentially a crystalline-tree castle, the Castle of Friendship, they had to resist the urge to laugh at such a childish title. A childish title fit for an innocent pony, fitting ,they mused briefly.
But, they had to brush such thoughts, it was the core of the meticulous planning made by generations before them, so they hurried over to the castle. A loud bang of thunder was resounding. As they brushed their shoes against the wet grass, they thought about walking on the dirt path but. It was best not to make any unnecessary tracks on the mud and the reason of ruining perfectly okay shoes was also there.
They looked over at the golden door, a determined look flashed quickly, it's time they thought briefly.
They put the basket down on the doormat with a note stating not to open until the third day, they knew that the princess wouldn't disobey though she may freak out about it but she would still obey as she would understand seeing the magical presence.
The morning usually begins with the rays slowly overcoming the murky night sky, then it
To Twilight, the morning started off well, she had no threats to Equestria to deal with, as well as no friendship problems to note. She was having a delicious breakfast of pancakes and apple juice with a serving of omelette, she would then check on her school before taking a break to finish some Summer reading.
With the relaxing start to a day, one could say that there would be no problems that could ruin it.
Yeah, that was what Twilight thought too, until she heard Starlight and Spike both come in with such immense speed and panicked expressions, she knew she jinxed herself.
She wanted to ready herself mentally, but looked towards them with her violet eyes and stood up with panic , " So, what happened ! A new threat? Big bad friendship problem? No ! Princess Celestia doesn't want us to rule over Equestria because am such an incompetent mare!"
Starlight started out by saying, "No, no and no" she rose an eyebrow, "why would you think that ?". Spike too had a similar expression, he smoothed it out, it was replaced with an amused expression.
"No, but instead we might have something more different than you think," he casted a nervous glance behind them,"a lot more different,"
This rose an eyebrow in Twilight.
"What do you mean, Spike ?"
He nodded towards Starlight, she levitated a basket, it was interwoven with intricate patterns so it stood out and a mulberry blanket with the insignia of Twilight's cutie mark. It was actively swirling around with arcane patterns, like the sea.
However, that wasn't what stood out instead it was the raw magical power that was hidden inside, could it mean that the presence inside was a unique type of being?
"It has weird letters on it, I think you would know better, Twilight,"
Nevertheless, she could tell that it was powerful as the blanket she looked at seemed to keep it in. She wanted to ponder
a bit more on why it had her insignia but she paused, as she noticed a small yellow square on the top.
She picked it up before brushing through the contents.
It's letters were glittering and were shifting, from one shape to another, it looked mesmerizing but Twilight realized with great horror that these weren't just any types of letters. No, they were specific letters used for the Era before eras.
Her eye's widened, she shouted," What ! This is.. This is..,"
This was Greek, the language used by the Golden Era of time, when magic thrived and ponies were living at high heights, it was truly the paragon of Utopia. A language rarely known and used, though Twilight was one of the few.
But why would it be written in this ? What was in here that needed such language ?
She may have not read Greek for a while but she should be able to decipher it enough to know general contents.
'Εσύ,
ο Σαλτ δεν άνοιξε την κουβέρτα σου μέχρ
ι την τρίτη μέρα της άφιξής του.'
She looked at it, while squinting her eyes before she roughly understood, she basically shouldn't open it until the third day of having it.
As much as her fingers ached to open it, she knew better that those letters weren't kidding on such a subject, after all, a being with massive raw power can forcefully let out their magic.
Upon sensing a different environment, a different being or even a different magic signature, though these are traits for the mentally-younger beings. - Encyclopedia of unique Magical beings
She concluded that she had to put it in her room as she couldn't guarantee anypony else being able to subdue the thing.
She looked toward the pair, "Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I may have to keep it in my room through,"
"Are you sure ? I mean you do have a lot going on day to day, don't you think you might stress yourself out, Twilight ?"
Twilight briefly glanced at Starlight's worried expression, she understood it because being the headmistress of a school and a princess together with being constantly stressed on how she would overcome the challenges of being a ruler of Equestria wasn't healthy .
Even so, she needed to be able to handle such things, she was going to be a ruler for Celestia's sake ! If she couldn't handle this then what could she handle.
Regardless, she flashed a smile at them, " I know I have a lot but just think of this as one of my ruler duties, I'll get through this as it is my responsibility besides-,"
She began preparing counterattacks for her argument until she saw the both of them sigh, Spike said, " As much as I want to say this is a bad idea, I know you'll just turn it around and I know you can do it just be careful,"
"Yeah, Spike basically took the words out my mouth but if you need any help am here y'know,"
Twilight really didn't know what to feel: be proud that they knew her patterns of behavior or embarrassed that she was easily seen through.
But she giggled a bit before smiling towards the two, " Am glad you can trust me with this and also Spike write a letter to Princess Celestia, I think this may be a bit beyond us,"

Twilight Sparkle was what one called prodigious genius, gifted in magic with overpowering arcane power and even blessed by her mentor, Princess Celestia, to become a princess and an alicorn. With her friends also being influential figures and being practically related to royalty, she had it well.
But at times she wondered if she was just playing the pawn to a game long made.
Sometimes, Twilight questions whether or not she deserved the life she had, but she was a pony who mostly did work and other things to take her mind off of such jittery questions.
She shook her head off of such things, she knew that questions like that would dampen her mood for the day and make her lower her efficiency in work -something she wouldn't allow.
Instead she concentrated on that embarrassing wet dream she had, she remembered how she woke up with wetness between her thighs, she also remembered that the stallion she was with was shrouded in a mysterious fog.
However, there was one particular part that was peculiar, why was she sore in the hips and her private parts at the morning ?
She looked at her quill and gently took it as she swirled it around, she looked at it and then sighed before levitating a basket, it had a note on top of a blanket covering the basket.
The note said not to open until after Wednesday morning, it hadn't said anything else not even the sender name.
So she took out the note with her fingers and placed it aside.
Twilight briefly wondered whether this would bite her on her back. But she was ready for it be it a flesh-eating monster or an egg of some kind of monster.
It's now or never...
