The next morning, Twilight and Spike were on the search for a library.

“Why are we doing this?” asked Spike. “It’s too early for this.”

“Because Spike, there’s still a lot to learn about our environment.”

“I don’t know if we’ll be able to find a library around here. The only building we’ve seen was at Applejack’s.”

“Well if we can find a house then we can certainly find a LIBRARY!!!” Conveniently, Twilight found her destination, a library in a little village. “Come on Spike!”

“Aaaaahhhh!!” Spike shouted as Twilight grabbed his hand and ran towards the library. Before entering, they met a villager, a creature they’ve never seen before.

“Who’s that guy with the big muzzle?” Spike asked.

“I don’t know. Maybe he knows more about this library.

Twilight and Spike went up to the creature with the abnormal muzzle.

“Greetings. My name is Twilight and this is my friend, Spike. We were wondering if you knew more about this library.”

“Hmm,” replied the villager.

“I’m Twilight and this is my friend, Spike. We were wondering if you knew more about this library.”

“Hmm.”

Twilight and Spike’s eyes turned to one another for a second, confused by the saying replied from the villager.

“Do you know anything about this library?”

“Hmm.”

“Listen here bucker!” Spike then grabbed the villager by his collar. “Why won’t you reply to the question normally?! Are you working with Sunset?”

“Spike!” Twilight grabbed Spike away from the villager, giving him a look of disapproval. “Sorry about that. Are you okay sir?”

“... Hmm.”

“Okaaaaay. We’ll just find out for ourselves.”

Twilight and Spike entered the library and scavenged for a book to learn about their block environment.

Twilight and Spike had searched and read books but none of them were the right one.

“Hey Twilight! I think I found what we needed! It’s called, Minecraft Goo-we-dee?”

“Goo-we-dee? Hold on, let me see the book.”

Spike handed Twilight the book. The book was a dark green color and the title read Minecraft Guide. “It’s GIDE Spike.”

“Oh… oops.”

“Well, we have the book. Let’s check it out.”

The two walked up to the librarian.

“I’d like to check out this book please,” said Twilight.

“Hm-”

“Nope. You know what? We’re just gonna head out.”

Twilight and Spike exited the library with their guide.

“Twilight. Have you noticed that the librarian and the guy outside the library kinda looked the same?”

“That’s racist Spike… but now that you mention it, yeah, they do.”

“It also seems that they don’t really care about what you do to them or around them.”

“Yeah that’s funny. I wonder if this guide has anything about this place and the ponies here.”

A thought then hit Twilight in the head. “Spike. It’s getting late and I didn’t think about where we’ll be staying for the night.”

“What about over there? That house looks empty.”

The two walked up to the house. Twilight tried opening the door to check if it was locked or not, and it wasn’t. Inside, the house conveniently had two beds, a smoker, and a crafting table. Twilight and Spike sat on the beds and started reading the guide book.

“It seems like we’re in a place where we craft materials and use them for survival. We craft said materials, well, certain materials with the provided crafting table,” Twilight said, reading off the book.

“But where do we get materials?” asked Spike.

“Well for starters, we can use wood from trees and turn them into a crafting table. We can also use wood to make planks and those planks can be made into sticks.”

“Why would we need to make sticks?”

“The sticks are for making utensils like a shovel or pickaxe and making weapons like a sword or axe.”

“Oh, well that makes sense.” Spike let out a yawn. “Welp, I’m gonna hit the hay. Good night Twilight.”

“Good night Spike. I’ll just continue reading about this guide.” Twilight started flicking through pages reading about more minerals and mobs. “Let’s see what’s up with this place.” Twilight flicked through the pages until she found the one that said “Villages”. Reading it, she found a mob there called an iron golem. “What the? Never seen this around here.” Twilight started reading out loud. “If attacked or angered, the iron golem will fling the mob or… person(?), leading to death.” After realizing some previous events, Twilight shut the book and laid it down on a nearby table and headed for bed.

Author's Note

I know about golems retaliating if attacked, but not about angered. It's kinda the same thing. Right? And I know that Twilight is now going two days of not getting her crown back but... it's fine.
