Princess Celestia has allowed one of her elite guards, SIlver Spirit, to stay in a haunted hotel.

One of Celestia's elite guards, Silver Spirit, is late for duty. And he won't be able to make it to the Canterlot train for the day. So Princess Celestia has authorized him to be able to stay at an old, yet decent, hotel neat the train station, called the Royal Flagon Inn. He gets the best room in the hotel, room 3332. However, there is something weird going on. Although the hotel is very popular, no pony is staying in any rooms near his room. And if that wasn't strange enough, he is beginning to hear strange noises, and starts seeing strange figures at night. And that's just the tip of the spear. Will Silver be able to survive the night? Rated mature for future chapter when we get more into the book.

Chapter 1: Permission

It's so hot today. Why today? Could it get any worse? I'm already late for duty. By 6 whole hours! Can you believe it!? I got to get my equipment and tell Princess Celestia. I my quill and letter paper and began writing.

Dear Princess Celestia,

This is Silver Spirit. I am extremely sorry. I have woken up late and I won't be able to get on the overnight train to Canterlot. Is there anyplace I can stay until tomorrow morning? Please reply.

-Silver Spirit

I went to the library, where the baby dragon, Spike, sent all the letters to Princess Celestia. The librarian, Twilight Sparkle, was there too. I could tell she had a crush on me. She always walks kinda awkwardly when she passes by me. Most of the time, she just walks quickly past me. A few minutes later, Spike puffed up a letter from the princess.

Dear Silver Spirit,

Do not worry, corporal. You are excused. I also found you a place to stay that is very close to the train station. It is a hotel called the Royal Flagon Inn. It is a fairly old place, but it is a pretty decent place all the same. I will reserve the best room for you. That is room 3332. I have heard rumors that the room is haunted. But studies show that that rumor is completely wrong. Do not worry.

Best regards

-Princess Celestia

Spike began to talk as soon as I finished reading. "Room 3332? I heard that place is haunted. You better find another place to stay." I sighed. "Spike, it's just a rumor. It was even proven that that rumor is just a hoax. Besides, ghosts aren't real." He walked away. "Ghosts aren't the only supernatural things in Equestria..." He mumbled under his breath. I have to admit, that shook me a bit. But, he's a baby dragon. He doesn't know better.
