Revival of Tambelon
Chapter 4 New Acquaintances
Previous ChapterNext ChapterWhen Cozy Glow entered the library, she felt a faint vibration of magic from Spike, but was quickly distracted by her surroundings.
At that moment, Twilight Sparkle approached them, smiling at her guests. "Hello! I'm Twilight Sparkle. Welcome to our library."
cozy Glow was surprised to see the alicorn in front of her, but tried to hide her admiration. "Hello, Twilight. My name is Cozy Glow."
“It’s very nice to meet you, Cozy Glow,” Twilight said, nodding good-naturedly. "What brings you to our library?"
“I would like to know more about Equestria,” Cozy Glow replied with a slight smile. "I'm interested in everything related to history and magic."
"That's great! We have a lot of books on these topics," Twilight enthused. "Don't be shy to ask if you need help."
“Thank you,” Cozy Glow thanked, feeling that Twilight radiated kindness and openness.
Applejack added, "You're in good hands with Twilight, Cozy Glow. She knows everything there is to know about magic."
“I just love learning,” Twilight replied modestly, smiling. "If you need help, just let me know."
Cozy Glow nodded, feeling that she had a lot to learn and understand in this new world for her.
Cozy Glow looked around and turned her attention back to Twilight. "I would really like to know more about the history of Equestria," she said with genuine interest.
Twilight was slightly surprised and raised an eyebrow. "Didn't you go to school? Usually such things are covered in the school curriculum."
Cozy Glow, a little embarrassed, replied: “I am not from Equestria. My family travels to distant lands, and I was not able to receive a full education here.”
Twilight nodded thoughtfully, showing interest in her story. "That explains a lot. You must have had a lot of interesting adventures."
"Yeah, but I've always wanted to know more about Equestria," Cozy Glow continued, trying to sound sincere. "I think it's a very exciting place."
Applejack, keeping up the conversation, added, "Well, you're in the right place to find out all about it. Twilight is our resident history expert."
Twilight smiled, flattered by the attention. "I will be happy to help you. We have many books, ranging from ancient times to modern events."
“That would be great,” Cozy Glow said happily. "I want to learn as much as possible to better understand this world."
Spike, who was standing nearby, added, "If you need help finding books, just tell me. Twilight and I are always happy to help."
"Thanks, Spike," Cozy Glow replied, feeling a little more confident in this new environment.
Twilight, noticing her curiosity, suggested, "Why don't we start with some general history books? It'll give you a good overview of how Equestria developed."
Cozy Glow nodded, full of determination. "That would be great. I really want to understand how things work here."
Apple Bloom, who had been following the conversation, added enthusiastically, "I'm sure you'll find a lot of interesting things. Equestria is an amazing place with many stories."
“I’m so glad I have the opportunity to get to know them,” Cozy Glow admitted, feeling increasingly confident in her decision.
Twilight led her to the shelves full of books to begin this exciting journey into the world of knowledge and history of Equestria.
Twilight Sparkle went to the shelf and chose a book with a golden edge and ancient symbols on the cover. She sat down at the table and opened it, attracting the attention of everyone present.
"Let's start with one of the most important events in our history - the founding of Equestria," Twilight began, her voice filled with enthusiasm and respect for the past. "Once upon a time, three tribes of ponies - earth ponies, pegasi and unicorns - lived separately and often clashed with each other."
Applejack and Applebloom listened attentively, immersed in the story, and Cozy Glow tried not to miss a word.
“But when Windigos—spirits that feed on hatred and strife—began to freeze their lands, the tribes realized they must unite to survive,” Twilight continued, turning the page. "By joining forces, they drove away the Windigos and founded Equestria, a place where all ponies could live in peace and harmony."
Cozy Glow, interested in this story, listened with great attention. "What about Princesses Celestia and Luna?" — she asked, not hiding her curiosity.
"Princess Celestia and Princess Luna came to power later," Twilight replied with a smile. "They ruled Equestria together, maintaining peace and balance. Celestia ruled the day and Luna ruled the night."
cozy Glow thought for a moment, then asked an unexpected question: “What was in Equestria before the migration of the three tribes of ponies?”
Twilight thought, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "That's a good question. Before the pony migration, Equestria was a wild land inhabited by various magical creatures. The ponies had not yet discovered these lands and did not know about their potential."
Applejack, watching the conversation, added, "So much has changed since then. Equestria has become a home for all of us."
Cozy Glow nodded, realizing how deep and rich the history of this country was. her thoughts filled with new ideas and questions that she wanted to explore.
Cozy Glow listened attentively to Twilight's story, but emotions were boiling inside her. She mentally chuckled: “Stupid ponies, they distorted and made up history and forgot about the Great Tambelonian Empire and Emperor Grogar!”
however, keeping a calm face, Cozy Glow asked, "What about the lands of Equestria before the pony migration? Isn't there any information about that time?"
Twilight thought for a moment, trying to remember everything she had read. “Well, other than a few myths and legends, we have virtually no reliable information,” she replied. "These stories are often exaggerated and most likely not true."
Cozy Glow nodded, trying not to show her disappointment. "I wonder what these myths are?" — she tried to find out more, hoping that at least something would give her the key to her search.
“There are legends about ancient creatures and forgotten civilizations, but they are too scattered and vague,” Twilight explained. "If you want, I can show you the books that mention them."
Cozy Glow felt a slight surge of hope. “Yes, please, I’d like to see them,” she replied, trying to keep her face neutral.
Twilight smiled and began to look for the necessary books on the shelf, and Cozy Glow mentally noted that she would need to study these “myths and legends” more carefully in order to understand what exactly was hidden behind them.
Twilight Sparkle walked up to one of the shelves and began looking for the book she needed. After a few moments, she found it and, smiling, handed it to Cozy Glow. "Here, this is a book with ancient legends. I hope it will be useful to you."
Cozy Glow took the book gratefully, her eyes lighting up with anticipation. "Thank you, Twilight. I'm sure I'll find something interesting here."
At that moment, Apple Bloom approached them, full of energy and enthusiasm. "Cozy Glow, books can wait! I haven't shown you the city or introduced you to my friends yet."
Cozy Glow thought for a moment, but then smiled. "You're right, Applebloom..I'd love to see more of Ponyville and meet your friends."
Twilight nodded approvingly. "This is a great idea. The city and its people are an important part of Equestria's history."
"Let's go, Cozy Glow!" - Apple Bloom exclaimed, pushing her towards the exit. "I'm sure you'll like it here."
cozy Glow carefully placed the book in her bag, intending to return to it later. At that moment, she realized that perhaps these new acquaintances and impressions would help her better understand this world and her place in it.
Apple Bloom and Cozy Glow walked through the busy streets of Ponyville. the city was full of life: ponies hurried about their business, nodded welcomingly to each other, and a light breeze stirred the bright ribbons on the street benches.
“It’s so beautiful here,” Cozy Glow noted, looking around with interest.
"Yes, Ponyville is a special place," Apple Bloom said proudly. "I'm sure you'll like it here."
As they walked, Apple Bloom suddenly noticed familiar figures ahead. These were her best friends - Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle. They were just discussing something animatedly, standing by the fountain in the central square.
"Hey girls!" - Apple Bloom called loudly, waving her hoof. "Come here!"
Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle turned around and, seeing Apple Bloom, happily ran towards her. Their faces glowed with happiness.
"Hey Applebloom!" - Scootaloo exclaimed, stopping next to her. "Who's that with you?"
“This is Cozy Glow,” Apple Bloom introduced. "She came from far away and wants to know more about Equestria."
"Hello, Cozy Glow!" Sweetie Belle said friendly, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "We are always happy to make new friends."
Cozy Glow smiled, trying to look as open as possible. "Nice to meet you..Apple Bloom talked a lot about her wonderful friends."
"Well, we're really trying to be awesome," Scootaloo joked with a wink. "Are you from far away? This should be very interesting!"
