Chapter 1: The Plague [Begun editing]

The Plague

A terrible plague had spread across Equestria, it affected all, nopony was spared its wrath, not even the Princesses. The Everfree Plague, as it was called upon discovering where it seem to originate from. It did not bring death, but it did keep the economy of Equestria ground to a halt. It seemed to devour magic, sap strength, and destroy crops. Unicorns were without the magic, Pegasi had been left grounded, and Earth Ponies hadn't the strength to carry out any sort of labor in the smallest sence of the word. In a few instences it would seem that other countries had taken advantage of the helplessness of Equestria. Griffans had expanded their territroy over Manehatten. With no guards the city fell in a few hours. The Dragons of the badlands had taken to raiding the now unused mines of jewels and other gems. Even the changlings had begun to return, abducting ponies from hospital beds in the middle of the night.

"Dearling, I must protest, you'll reading yourself into an early grave is not going to help anything." Rarity said as she watched helplessly as Twilight tore one book after another out of the Canterlot Archives. She had spent the last month reading and researching The Everfree Plague. Her mane was an absolute mess, and her pupils were as small as pins. She tore through "Supernaturals" for the 6th time but could glimpse nothing from it. For some reason, the Mane 6 had been spared from the effects of the plague, but they all chalked it up to having something to do with the Elements of Harmony.

She was becoming desperate for answers. Twilight wished her #1 assisstant had been there, but he was in the Canterlot infirmary, struck with the Plague. He would have known where to look. Spike would also had relished the chance to spend more quality time with Rarity. Twilight shed a few tears knowing that until she and the others could lift this curse that had been slowly eating away at the land, he would remain the most afflicted. The shimmering Unicorn, who's coat was a white as her horn was, flipped her beautiful purple mane over one of her eyes. It was then that the smell of Apple Pie quaffed into the room as well as Apple Cider. AppleJack soon walked into the room, carrying 4 pies and a jug of piping hot Apple Cider.

"Y'all get it while it's still hot now, ya hear" the others of the Mare 6, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy had just entered the room to the smell of Apples. Applejack was as country as they got, her 10 gallon hat stood tall on her lustrous mane, tied back in a Pony tail with a ribbon. It was blond and like silk to the touch. Her orange coat brough attention to her athletic build. She was also the most truthful of the 6, and wouldn't hesitate to lift a hoof to help another pony. There was a special case that this became more then apparent, and it all started with when a Stalion by the name of Ófærr. A Nordic Pony, he had come to Ponyville to seek a new life after the death of his wife and unborn foal. He was a veteran of battle and it showed on his face, which had a crescent shaped scar, running from his forehead, over his left eye, and down to his chin. He had been regarded with suspicion from the get go, but besides Pinkie Pie, Applejack took to him rather quick, what with them both being working ponies by nature. Even she though felt a little outclassed by this Stalion, his sheer strength was astounding, he managed to build a house, complete with 4 rooms, a vegetable garden, and even a Hot Springs in a single day.

Rainbow on the other hoof was a tad mischievous, her rainbow mane and tail as playful as she was. Such descriptions continued with the others. Soon the Mares sat around each other, discussing their finds when as always Pinkie Pie has to do something akin to Pinkie Pie. She suddenly sits down on a book, which in turn knocks over a few more, finally, knocking a book shelf down. The others all turn to look at her and with a collective sigh they begin to pick up the pieces of what had just transpired, till Dash noticed some part of the wall had been destroyed, revealing a hidden Doorway.

"Girls! Over here" She beckoned to the others to come and see. The Mane 6 crowded around the destroyed wall, it clearly led to another chamber. After an hour of working Rarity into not worrying about dust and the like getting in her mane, it was decided that they were going to investigate. Hell there might be something down there that could help in looking for a cure or at the very least, something to lighten the somber mood that had settled over the mares.

"Stand aside y'all" It was left to Applejack to finish what Pinkie had started. With a few well placed bucks and the wall collapsed, to show what looked like a device of some kind connected to a large, steel box that opened at the front. It could hold a fully grown Manticore easily. With hesitation the others stepped onto it a box as the front seemed to open. It was easy to see how it was activated, as Twilight demonstrated, placing her horn into it and applying magic. It began to glow quickly and slowly descended towards a dark, unused tunnel, much to Rarities lament.

Soon the device reaches the tunnel, and the 6 depart from it, the Unicorns using their magic to cast some light into the tunnel. After a good hour of wander the Mane 6 had all but given up again till Fluttershy pointed out something up ahead of the girls. They soon come upon a pedestal, with a large, dusty, yellow tome sitting upon it. As Twilight reaches out to touch it with her hoof and the others share nervous glances a blinding white light fills the room. "Do not touch that my faithful student" It was a voice that was not filled with malice, but held a slight contempt about it. Celestia, bowled over from the strain of using her magic, stood there before them.

"Princess!" An exacerbated Twilight exclaimed. "You shouldn't be using your magic" She was silenced by a hoof to the mouth as Twilight tried to run to her master, recieving a chuckle.

"Let me catch my breath first alright" after a few moments to sit against a wall she began to speak again. "Twilight, I never though you of all ponies would find this book, come, there is much to discuss." It took them several hours to return to Celestia's chamber, stopping every so often to allow the Princess to rest. It did not take long for the party to reach the steel contraption.

"I really must ask, who created this? I have never seen a device like this before?" Twilight asked her beligered master as they climbed into the machine and let it rise to the castle now out of the dusty catacomes, much to Rariteis and Dashes happiness. Rarity cause the dust and dirt would ruin her prized mane and fur. Dash cause it was too narrow down there and it didn't allow her to fly around like she enjoyed doing.

"Well, that will be all explained in due time my little ponies" Celestia explained, it calmed down a certain over zealous mare but the others weren't bying it. Leading them back to her private chambers, she opened the door to show a weakened Luna and Cadance lying in sick beds besides her own. Twilight rushed to their sides and exchanged a few words between them before returning to her mentor's side.

As they sat down, Luna looked with amazement at the book, she couldn't beleive after all this time, that someone had discovered it. Cadance was lost at the significance of the book. "My Little Ponies, since you have discovered this book, I think it would be best that you discovered why it was it was placed deep beneath Canterlot, farther down then the Crystal Caverns" Cadance shivered at the thought of those caverns.

"I reken it was fer a good reason, Princess" Applejack spoke up, a little nervouse at the sight of Luna just blankly staring at the book.

"That I did my little ponies, Twilight, tell me, has the name, Dagon ever come up in your studies?" She asked as she looked to Twilight.

"Only small parcels here and there. According to lore, myth, and legend. He was a creature unlike any other, although descriptions were wide and varied. From a serpent as large as Canterlot, with wings, to a stange bie-ped, its knees pointing the opposite direction, tendrels covering its mouth, a scorpion like tail, and praying mantil like arms sprouting from its back, standing some where between 6 to seven hooves tall. His powers were as widely diverse from what I can gather. He went unrivaled until you and Luna came, casting him down." She replied, the others looking on in silence as Luna and Celestia fought back a tinge of sorrow at the prospect of such endevors.

"Actually" coughs some "That is a lie, created to protect a much bigger secret" Luna replied, bearly being able to push her self up. Celestia rushed to the side of her sister. Twilight was dumb struck at the prospect of being wrong about something regarding history.

"In actuality, even with both of us at full power, I doubt we would have put even a dent in him. I have not told the truth, reguarding who it was that taught me to raise the sun. What is written is not correct, it was he was the one who taught me to raise the sun, taking over as his pupil when I was just a filly myself, about the same age as you were when I took you under my wing Twilight Sparkle. His powers truly were unmatched, but he was as kind-hearted as they came" Celestia stopped for a few mins, remembering the time the 3 of them spent together before resuming once again. "He left not 10 years before we started our war with Discord, never to be heard from again, take this to heart, he is older then both Luna and I are. As old as the stars themselves from what we had gathered during out time with him" This announcement shocked all those in the room, except Celestia and Luna of cource.

"You mean to say that there is someone who could easily defeat Discord without lifting so much as a hoof!? Where has this all powerful pony been all these years, sunning on some island." Dash asked a little ticked off as she remembered all they had to go through considering when it came to besting Discord the first time. That last part made Luna and Celestia share a look before they burst into a fit of laughter. Pinkie quickly joining in for no apparent reason, "What, was it something I said?" She looked to the others and at Cadance for answers but never got any.

"Sorry" Luna says stifles a giggle "Sorry for the laughter, Element of Loyalty, its just you might not be to far from the truth" With questioning gazes turned to Celestia they all look to their princess for answers.

"Um...might I uh, ask, if it wouldn't be to upfront, how did..." Fluttershy trails off as she hides her head in her tail.

"I think what scardy feathers over there is trying to ask is how in the hay did you two meet this, whats his name?" Dash asked, crossing her front legs as she awaited an answer. The Princess began a long and amazing tale of their meeting, but kept out the parts on what Dagon looked like, hey even Princesses needed a little fun.

3 hours later

"This book" Celestia turned to her stunned Ponies "contains all the research I did in trying to finding him again. I spent the next 10 years before our fateful battle with Discrod traveling the world looking for clues. In my search I recorded all signs of his passing, till I struck a dead-end. His last appearance was in a deserted temple of some kind, within a wild and untamed jungle. I had to turn back when I discovered a massive Black dragon living in it." The others had never known the Princess to run from a fight, it must have been formidable to make her turn around.

"Why did you run, was it big, did it try to gobble you up, whats the inside of a dragon's mouth li-" Pinkie Pie was cut short by a hoof to the mouth by Twilight.

"No, I had to return to challange Discord as lawful ruler of Equestria. I have had no chance to continue my search. Twilight, I want you to go over this book, find clues, and bring my old friend back no matter what. Is this clear?" She reared up from sitting down, looking on her student. Twilight simply nodded. "Good, take the book" Celestuia quickly levetates it over to Twilight, who quickly took it. WIth her friends in tow, they exit the room, it was soon after they had gotten out of ear shot, it was then that Luna and her sister, after exchangeing glances begin to giggle uncontrollably.

"Sister, I wonder how he will react to seeing how much we have grown." Luna asked between giggles.

"It's safe to assume that he might pass out. The little fillies he watched over have all grown up." The sisters share a laugh as Cadance just decides to go back to sleep, her head throbbing.

End of Chapter 1

First attempt at a Fic so if you have any grievances feel free to speak them now. I Go~

Chapter 2: The Expediton

The Expedition - Chapter 2

Twilight literally poured over the massive tome for weeks without much success. She tried all the tricks of the trade, but none seem to be working. She had yet to glimpse any information out of it regarding the were about of this stranger Celestia and Luna knew. She was at her wit's end once again, till she spotted something. It seemed this mystery pony had visited the Sisters Castle in the Ever Free Forest. That would mean that she and the others would have to venture into those cursed woods to get any information they could.

"Ya sure 'bout this Sugar Cube?" Applejack asked while giving the others a side glance, she hadn't gone near the forest in some time, same for the others.

"Yes, it's a necessity. If we want to end this, then we need to act soon." Twilight says as she gathers supplies for their others just look at her, not wanting to go any farther in to the subject.

"How do we even know if this, Dagon, character is in fact still alive Deary. Also he could be hideous also?" Rarity asked as she looked a little sheepish.

"That is just something we will have to conform for our selves." Twilight stamps her hoof down to silence any other outbursts or complaints as they begin their trek into the EverFree Forest. Dash brough up the rear of this little foray into the Forest, while it was Apple at the front, being on of the strongest of the group. Pinkie, well Pinkie just hopped along like always. They walk through Ponyville from Sugar Cube Corner, the plague had struck here, but it was not fatal, nut annoying, seeing as how everyone or mostly everyone was bed ridden now. Applejack thought back, to the fact she had left Big Mac alone to look after the farm and family alone.

"Are we there yet, I'm tired, can we stop to eat" Three voices from behind the mares popped up, yet Rarity and Applejack facehooved as they already knew who they belonged to.

"Sweety Bell, Dear, I must insist you stay home with Mother and Father" Rarity turned around to chastise the tiny Unicorn. Applejack on the other hoof gave Apple Bloom a stare that could rival Fluttershys.

"Now, didn't I tell y'all, not to done follow us 'ere?" Applejack asked as Applebloom shrunk from her sister's gaze. Rainbow on secretly hoofed Scootaloo, much to Twilight's contempt.

"Now, girls, we..um..need all the, help we can get" Fluttershy pointed out as she hid behind a near by tree, having been frightened of the filli'es sudden outburst.

"Well, since Sweety Bell ain't use her magic and Scootaloo ain't been able to fly. So I reckon I don't see any reason we aught to stay behind" Apple Bloom puffed out her cheeks and looked at her older Sister. AppleJack held out for as long as she could, but her resolve soon shattered as she looked at Apple Bloom's attempt to pout.

"Fine, Fine, Fine, Y'all can come 'long, so long as y'all don cause no trouble now, ya hear" Now, with the 3 new editions to their party, the group, once again set off to find the Castle of the Sisters.

The EverFree Forest had been the inspirations for horror stories the world over, for many reasons. One of which were the wolves, they grew larger then most ponies, excluding the princesses. It was one of the wolves that the group came across. They blundered through the forest, bearly able to stay together as they ran, the cries and snarling right behind them for most of the time was the Timberwolf. It was only after Twilight managed to use a teleportation spell that they managed to loose them. Now they lay around inside a cave, laying around a fire, panting.

"I though we were a gonner back there." Dash proclaims, holding a hoof to her chest, bearly able to believe they had managed to get away.

"If someone had not been looking for their Cutie Mark in Wolf Taming, we wouldn't have had to go on a wild goose chase" Sweety Bell accusingly points a hoof at Apple Bloom, who in turn stuck her tongue out at the little unicorn before being separated by their sisters.

"I don't know what y'all is on 'bout, I ain't done nothin wrong!" Apple Bloom proclaimed before Apple Jack managed to quiet her. The rest just sort of dosed off.

The Next Day

Twilight awoke the next morning, with a roaring headache splitting her skull from sleeping on the ground, but her back felt amazing, the years of carrying Spike around just seemed to melt away. With groans of a uncofertable sleep, the others made their way to waking up. Soon they had the fire put out and they were back on their journey. The C.M.C. still complained all the way to the Castle, but soon found themselves in awe of its stature and height. It was in disrepair, which was clear to all by the scattered frame-work lying in the court-yard and out side its walls. The forest had already seen fit to begin to retake the castle, with trees and grass sprouting up here and there within its stone work. The others had been here once before, a heroine experience, but the fact they were once again here is not lost on them. Soon after they take a rest, they begin there search, looking for anything out of the ordinary, which would be hard, considering where they where. Apple Bloom and Sweety Bell stuck close to their sisters, while Scootaloo stuck near the others.

"Dis some tin out da' ordinary?" Something in Apple Bloom's head then told her to cromp, krush, and then loot everything around but for the most part she ignored it. Apple Bloom asks as she points to something in the dimly lit court-yard. Apple Jack walked over to investigate and just sighed when she saw what it was that her sister had found.

"Beggin yur pardin, but a rock don't strike me as being mighty suspicious" Apple Jack replied to a distraught Filly who puffed out her cheeks once again.

"How would I have known that" Apple Bloom began a tie raid as Sweety Bell and Rarity had a bit more luck as they had followed AppleJack and Apple Bloom. It was Rarities keen eye that caught the reflection of a dozen or so opals set in a statue. They were well hidden from sight, and so most would have missed them completely. Trotting over she began to inspect them, when she called Twilight over. With hushed tones they discussed a few things then Rarity, using the Opals, which after pressing one, had discovered that they were on springs, and can be used like buttons.

"Twilight, be a dear and hold down the ones on the edges please. Sweety Bell, the one in the center." With a click the Opals began to rotate, and soon slid in as the Statue slid away, revealing a long winding stair well.

"What is with these ponies and underground locations?" Dash remarked once all the others had been gathered.

"I like exploring, I wonder what we will find? I hope its shiny, I like shiny things" Pinkie exclamied in her usual bouncy fashion. The others shared a chuckled as they began to descend the stair well.

"Its darker in there then Big Mac's room when ever Cheerilee comes ov..." AppleJack's voice trailed off as it finally dawned on her what he had done. "Well, I'll be a bees Uncle. Who knew Big Macintosh had it in him" She chuckles under her breath as Twilight and Rarity illuminated the cave system. It took them an hour to reach the bottom of the stair well, and they were greeted with an almost alien like structure. A massive temple, unlike anything they had ever saw before. It had only a singe room, at the very top, it must of stood hundreds of feet tall, on the north, south, and eastern sides it had a slim stair well leading from the ground to the roof covered top. The Western most stair well consisted of most of the side being stairs. On every 3 steps of the Western Stair Well, there were a pair of Pony Warriors, dressed in the skins of animals, wielding spears. Only the vaguest of Tomes told of a civilization like this one, very few remember its history, and fewer still know of its demise.

"These are old...very old...much older then anything our own history. These were the..."Twilight glares daggers at Rainbow who had yawned from being bored.

"WHat, if I wanted a history lesson, I would go to a library, not ask the walking one" Dash replies with a grin.

"As I was saying, what ever culture built this, was warrior in nature, look at the statues" Twilight points towards the statues of the Warrior Ponies. The others follow her hoof and they wander over to it.

"Well, they certainly didn't have much of an eye for style, I mean look at those things, animal fur, how barbaric" Rarity chastises the statues, while Sweety Bell just rolled her eyes at her sisters remarks. As they near the steps its clear that although the civilization that built it to out last them. Twilight marveled at the sheer amount of work that must have gone into it, and the time and stallion power that went into getting the building supplies underground. Then a thought occurred to her. Did the Princesses know about this, did they know it was down here, and further more, if they had known about it why keep it a secret, it's the archeological find of the century yet they allow it to stay under ground. Her attention was suddenly drawn to the top of the building, a strange object sitting on top of it.

"Mares and Fillies, may I bring your attention to the boring building" Scootaloo proclaims as she sits on the back of one of the warrior's backs. Sweety Bell and Apple Bloom begin to clap as Twilight stares down on the two.

"You have no idea what you are saying" Twilight put the filly in her place. They began to descend the hundreds of stairs towards the top. It's an arduous trek and takes hours. Soon the mares and fillies reach the top. There, under the roof, was a large, stone table, some remains of petrified rope at the edges of the table. It was clear what this was used for but its use was lost on all but Twilight who had researched this subject extensively at her time in Canterlot. She looks at the dark stain in the middle of it, and cringes without the others knowing. A single Obsidian dagger was planted in the middle of it, embedded in the rock. She began to look at it when Apple Bloom jumped up on it and fell on top of it, pushing the dagger into a pedestal. Lights grew from the center and moved from it and spread along till it covered the entire structure. Applejack pulls Apple Bloom into her arms as a door way is formed on the opening going down the Southern Side of the building. It pulls the ponies in and soon closes behind them. The light fading from the building, the dagger pushing back up. The stature above ground moving back into place.

The group fell, they fell through fire, and light, through shadow they fell.

"W-What is goi-going on?!" Rarity bearly was able to get out as she was thrown around like a rag doll by the prevailing elements of the worm hole.

[0:40]

"It seems to be some sort of warm, or something I have never seen anything like this before!" Twilight replied as she was in the middle of using her magic to try and keep herself upright. She has a shield up around the fillies as Applejack smacks into it, sending the shield swirling off.

As they fell, Rarity thought she could make out a blue box flying past them with Derpy's head sticking out the front of it.

[1:20]

"Sorry 'bout that Twi!" Applejack apologised as she spun off. Nearly slamming into Pinkie Pie, who some how was not effected at all by all this. She seemed a tad bit upset by this.

"You girls get all the fun" She says while sitting down and crossing her arms and looking down. The others were not so happy as they continued to fall down towards what looked like a massive pile of books. Soon they reached their destination, and much to the powers of Twilight, were unable to slow their descent, as they made contact with the books. Each inturned blacked out from the force of the impact, none had any lasting or major damage.

[End of Song]

The Mares and Fillies slept on, un-aware of where they were, or what they had just stumbled upon.

There we go, Chapter 2, have fun~ On to Chapter 3

Chapter 3: The Library [Fixed]

Chapter 4 - The Library

It was Twilight who first noticed the high degree of smells, but these were the smells of a familiar variety, the smell of books. The Mares and Fillies had landed in a large pile of books. Twilight immidatly jumped out of the pile, a massive grin spread across her face as she began to read through each, their quest completly lost on her as she helped herself to a colorful variation of different books. It was some time before the others awoken to a large, neatly organized pile of books, they themselves awoke on a cold, tiled floor in the middle of what appeared to be a library, but there appeared to be no end to it, the shelves just went on without end. Pinkie just hopped along, checking out the many colored books as Applejack and Fluttershy tried as they might to dislodge Twilight from the mountain of books that had begun to accumulate around her.

Finally after much pulling, the two of them managed to get the book loving unicorn away from the books. The others had started to move down the endless book shelves, but they were not alone. For the moment that Twilight looked back at her well organized book piles, based on catagory, had been placed into the book shelves almost not 5 minius since she finished reading the last one. Her jaw hung agape as she looked back at the spot which once was filled with books, now stood empty. When she pointed this out to Dash, most of it was lost on the cyan pegasi. "What are you on about egg head?" Dash gave an inquisitive look to Twilight, raising an eye brow.

"I had the books organized, yet where are they now? They were organized alphabeticly, then I once again organized them by content and language. Yet look, they are gone." Twilight says as she extends a hoof at the empty ground before the two. What was going on was still lost on Dash as she turned and left to catch the others. As Twilight turned to join them a deep greenish light shown from where the books once were. Trotting over, it became enveloped in her magic as she studdied it. It was a Mossy Green Scale.

As large as her own hoof, she looked it over, it reflected what ever form of light this Library used. She wanted to know what kind of creature could produce such a magnificant scale. A Dragon, a Hydra, the scoripon Tail of a Manticor? These and many others flashed through her mind. Till she realised she was alone and raced back to the others. A great Skyblue iris of an eye watched her depart only to close, the darkness beyond the broken light retruning to unending Darkeness.

"Where'd y'all recon' we go now?" Appplejack asked in confusion. They had come to a cross road, the book shelves split off in 42 different directions, each on a different subject. As Twilight returned to the others a few, mainly Applejack gave her an inquisitive look, and asked her just where she had gone off to. Twilight quickly relayed to the others on what she had discovered. The others became nervous, looking around as if expecting to see some creature come lurching out of the darkness to snatch one of the mares or fillies.

Once they had confirmed that there was no such creature they began to decide which way they should go. It was entirly up to them, but seeing as how there was 42 different directions to take they began looking at each of them, maby some clues would reveal themselves to the party. Pinkie, being Pinkie managed to defy logic and in the span of a miniuts check all the books on a single row of Book Shelves entitled "Pranking", making sure to return them to their original place. Rarity and Twilight both took a collective book shelf and began reading throuth. The titles of the the Contence of Rarities consisted of information retaining to the biology of dragons, the species as well as the locations on the locations called "Azeroth".

Twilight had chosen a literary section for a land called "Tameriel" she came across one story called "The Lusty Argonian Maid" which with a massive blush she returned to its place and continued on. Applejack had found a section on Agriculture from a plan called "Earth", she was fasinated on how such bipedled creatures managed to grow so much without the use of weather control. Fluttershy had come across a section on Botinolody, she was entriged as her and Rainbow Dash had discovered an entire section on Daring Do esk literature which she soon left the floor of the library littered with books, much to Twilight's anger, but before she could chastice her friend a timid voice echoed from behind her that caused the entire party to turn around and look, including the C.M.C.s who for the last 6 hours had been looking through picture and popup books after their attempt to become "CUTIE MARK CRUSADER BOOK SEARCHERS YAA!" had been curve stomped into the ground by Twilight with a single dagger filled glare.

"W-w-w-WHAT a-a-a-are y-y-y-you do-do-doing!?" a timid voice railed from behind Twilight. She whirled around to find herself as well as the others looking at a little colt, not 10 years old. His coat was a dark green while his, mane and tail were a lighter green. His eyes were a nut brown, but you wouldn't have known that due to the heavily fogged over glasses that obscured his vision. He cowered back under their gazes before darting into what looked like a fort made of books. This scene reminded Twilight of her earlier days with Princess Celestia when she was her student and Spike had just been hatched. She loved to make book forts back then, although she still does it from time to time as guilty pleasure of hers.

"Give him some room girls, let him speak. I am sorry, but who might you and why are you in this Library?" Twilight ask, sitting down and motioning to the others to follow suit. It took some time for them to convince him to come out of his fort. Once he had it took Rarity and Twilight's magic to keep the C.M.C. from jumping on him once they noticed that he had no Cutie Mark and asking him to join their club. It was then that Pinkie Pie asked.

"Hi I'm Pinkie Pie, whats your name? Do you live here? Whats it like getting lost in here? Does it take long to find your way out? What do you eat? Do you like swee...." Pinkie was silenced by a muffin to the mouth via Rainbow Dash, where said muffin came from, we won't know, except a very distraught Ditzy Do. The little colt ducked back into his fort and looked over the books at the party, he finally spoke again though.

"I-I-I'm Wo-Wo-...everyone just calls me Book Worm for sh-short." He says as he looked over his books at the party gathered before him. "W-w-what are you doing here?" He asked as they looked between each other.

"We have come seeking a cure for a disease that is plagueing our land. We were told by our leaders, Princess Luna and Princess Celestia that a powerful being called Dagon resides here, he might be able to save our land." She asked as the others nodded to conform that she was asking was true. Book Worm looked down trodden at the mention of Dagon.

"Why the long face Book Worm? Mind sharing...if you..uh...don't mind me asking?" Fluttershy asked in her usual tone and voice.

"Its...well you had better come with me" Book Worm jumped out of his Book fort and motioned for them to follow them along. They hesitated for a second then followed after the little colt. Dash walked ahead of the others as they followed behind and flew low enough to talk with Book Worm.

"SO kid, mind if I call you Book for short?" Dash waited for him to answer back but all he did was nod his head. She then asked her question. "What are you doing here, how did you find your way into this place?" She asked with a slight worried expession, thinking of the colts parents and friends who might miss him.

"A-a-all that will be explained wh-when I show you what I must" He said as Dash returned to the others and revealed to them what it was that she had learned. It was then that the mare 6 realised that the C.M.C. had found their way next to Book. The dogged him with questions until Apple Bloom pointed out that he was a "blank flank" which he became sad. Twilight and Rarity had to once again pull the Fillies away with their magic. The colt just looked back with a raised eye brow and a giggle before continuing on his way towards what looked to be the center of the Library.

As they all turned the bend, Fluttershy fainted, Rarity gagged, Rainbow Dash tried her best not to look impressed, Applejack was still trying to make sence of it all while Twilight was obviously distracted by something completely different. Pinkie Pie was busy exampining it while the Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo were busy cowering behind their resective sisters/role models. Before them, slumped upon a massive table that was as large as Centerlot, was the skeletal remains of what appeared to be a Serpent. Its head slumped over what appeared to be a massive Book, which Twilight was eyeing with lust. She had never seen a book that large before and she wanted to read it all~ night~ long~. It was then that Book Worm cleared his throat to get everyone's attention.

"Let me i-i-introduce to y-y-you all. Dagon Von Basilisk, once gra-grand libr-librarion of this li-library." Twilight was impressed to say the least, to think such a creature could read books, even without hooves, then it hit her like a shock.

"THIS IS WHAT THE PRINCESS WAS HAVING US LOOK FOR?!" Twilight suddenly becoming very angry, which only frightened the colt. "We can't even save Equestria when its dead!" It was then that the colt finally worked up enough nerve. The others were scared witless at her sudden out burst and Fluttershy had passed out once again after awakening from her fainting spell due to spotting the skeleton. Rainbow spotted something lying on the ground and upon inspecting it, realised it was the bone fragments of a wing. She was dumb struck that something so large could have wings. She was still sure of herself about being the fastest thing in Equestria though.

"Wel-well, tak-take a loo-look around the Botiny seco-section till you fi-find wha-what you are looking for." The girls, well all except for Fluttershy had gone about looking for what they needed. Book Worm had helped Fluttershy to his bed which he sleped in during his stay when Rainbow Dash once again tapped him on the shoulder.

"So, kid? How did you get here?" Rainbow asked, anxiety creeping into her voice as she feared the worst, abduction. What she gets as a response is the opposite of that though. "I was chosen" He said bluntly, causing the Brash mare's wings to slap to her sides as she stares at him before hitting the ground.

"You were what?!" Completely forgetting how easily he was to being scared. Book worm fell to the floor. "Sorry, didn't mean to scare you, but you were chosen? By whom?" by this point Twilight came over to join them, after Pinkie, in all her Pinkieness, found sai....

Pinkie quit poking me! Yes I will give you more lines, now stop it and get back in mah story! Pinkie suddenly landing ontop of Dash as if from out of no where. She went to hopping around the library as Dash sat there stunned once again. There was no nothing that could suprise her, well almost nothing. It was then that Book Worm spoke again, the stutter none existant.

"It was during the waning days of the 3rd era of the Library, Dagon was growing older, he instructed the Council of 23 Ackolityus, who watch over the Library to find a suitable heir to look after it. Once they had conviened and dicussed it, they found me, a simple colt in an orphanage. When I was deemed worth, I was brought under his guidance and taught, I know where every book, every scroll is, and everything in between. Was I scared, at first, but whats there to be scared of when you have a guardian like Basilisk to be frank. Now, any other questions?" he looked around and the aposolute stuned faces of the 2 mares, Twilight looked about ready to pull the colt into a hug, which she did immidatly.

"There, there, we are here for you now, you are coming back to meet the princesses alright?" Book looked apprehensive but decided it was alright.

"O...ok" he said reluctently before hugging back. They all conviended again and began to talk about their discoveries, Twilight asking Book Worm about the correct book she would need to return them to their original home. Book thought for a moment before pointing to a book shelf that read. "Poniconicus" Twilight quickly scanned the books, looking for a good hour before finding what she needed, a large Orange and Black book, with the words, "A Spells Frosting" written on the front of it, there was no auther and it perplexed the unicron to no end but she just chalked it up to bad placment and began to sift through its...recipies...

Contained within were a collection of spells in the forms of recipies, when she questioned Book Work he simply stated that its creator had a craving for magic and sweets, and decided to combine the two together. Twilight was skeptical but when Book Worm's horn began to glow, he summoned forth all they would need, Twilight got to work on summoning all the magical ingrediants she would need while Pinkie began to whip them into a bowl.

Soon they had what they needed, what the book refered to as "Chaotic Cupcakes" It was intended to transport who ever ate them to a set destitation. To not let Book Worm out of his agreement Fluttershy, used her Stare on him, forcing him to eat his cup cake first. He soon vanished, only to end up in the middle of the Throne room. Soon the others followed suit, Twilight the last to go as she looked around, so many books~ before she ate into her cup cake and vanished, she made a promise to return, and read each and every one of them...and do a few more things while she was there, for some reason books get Twilight hot and bothered here, who knew.

Back in Equestria, what remained of the Royal Guard surrounded a small colt, before another 9 flashes of assorted colors. Soon the Elements as well as 3 small fillies appeared next to the colt. They bowed a few mins later after the disorentation wore off and they realised they were in the pressence of Celestia and Luna.

"My little ponies! You return...I do not see our friend with you" she looked around the room, confusion creeping into her face and voice. It was then that Twilight spoke.

"Princess Celestia...it is with a saddened heart that I inform you of the passing of Dagon" she says, almost immidatly tears begin to form in the corners of Celestia's eyes and she begins to cry, Luna holding here, Luna looked at Book Worm for the first time, a real good look at him.

"We have never seen this one in our realm! Who is he!" Luna asks pointing towards Book Worm, whom had a face of fear adorned on his tiny features. Twilight quickly took control of the situation and explained what she had learned. They had discovered a cure, and then they explained how they had met Book Worm, a look of horror crossing Luna's features as she learned he had been snatched from his life and became a librarian. Before she could speak, a loud noise revereberated from outside as a pair of guards were cast into the throne room, followed by a familiar voice, which caused everyone's eyes to widen in shock and dread.

"TIA I'M HOME~" a very afiminon voice called as everyone's favorite god came sliding into the Throne room on a carpet made of bubbles.

To Be Continued

Chapter 4: Home Coming [Re-Done]

Chapter 4: Home Coming

All jaws dropped as soon as the doors open, revealing a very festive Discord. He was clad in a Hawiian Polo, a pair of shades, and holding a saucey mini cocktail in his lion paw. He dipped his shades as he looked upon the assembled ponies and Aliecorns, and burst into laughter.

"You should all the looks on your faces....acutally" he snaps his griffon claw and summons a camera out of thin air and snaps a picture of the ground before having the camra vanish in a cloud of cotton candy and the photo reappear out of thin air. He quickly reappears sitting on Celestia's back with the picture hanging from her horn. He was rolling around laughting as he rolled off but kept hovering in mid air. "Tia you never looked better~" He says as he breaks into another fit before reappearing next to Twilight, reaching down and poking her side.

"AH!" Twilight yelled as Discrod poked her, she was immidatly transformed into a Male Dimond Dog. She immidatly began to freak out as she ran around the room as she tried to make sence of what just happened as Discord moved on. Poking Pinkie she was immidatly turned into a Griffan. Unlike Twilight she was happily flying around the room. For Rarity, Discord changed her mane first, causing it to loose all its pumf and sheen. Next it turned a sickly green before finally beginning to fall out in hoof fulls. Rarity was about to whine when her mouth suddenly vanished. She just sat down and looked down, trying to come to terms with what just happened.

Celestia was now furious and was charging Discord, but he easily made her his next victom. He vanished as she reached him, causing her to turn around, expecting an attack, only to receive a flick to the forehead. She fell back, not a min later, her fur fell out, her horn turned chrome, and her wings lost their feathers. Luna began to fire blasts of arcane energy at Discord, only to have them becme bundles of Flowers, but instead of peddles, it was chalk. Discord moved to Luna, poking her and watching as she turned translucent and unable to cast magic. He immidatly finished off the others. Guards had their gender swapped, weapons vanish as well as armor.

For Fluttershy, her voice suddenly became like when she walked through the Poisen Joke, deep, rought, and Black. Her minds became a pair of miniture blimps. Applejack became a filly, her strength zapped from her and her blond mane turned pink. Finally for Dash, he started by removing her wings, yes this has been done before but it didn't stop there. He soon slowed down time around her, with a smirk proclaimed. "Now, you are the slowest in all Equestria!" he begins to laugh like an insane mad man as he rolls around on the floor. He turns to the 4, non discorded ponies in the room. 3 he knew of, but then one caught his attention. "And who might this be~" he says waltzing over to Book Worm. Quickly the C.M.C. jumped to block his path.

"You stay away from our friend you big jerk!" Scootaloo yelled at Discord, while trying to keep her nerve up. Discord only sighed and vanished, reappearing behind Book Worm, the C.M.C. suddenly turned to stone. He chuckled at the stunned expression of Book Worm's little face as he turned to see his new friends turned to stone before him.

"Like my work? So this is how it felt when Twilight and her gang turned me into stone. Did you enjoy the show...." He asked as he got Book Worm's attention, he immidatly backed some what away. It was then that Discord noticed something. He himself had never seen this colt before with any of the mares or the princesses. He was not there when he was bested last time. Who was he?

"Wh-wh-who are you?" Discord was taken back, here was a colt who knew not his works. He genergly had his jaw drop at this fact and he immidatly began to laugh out loud and roll around on the floor.

"I am the God of Chaos, Discord and I have already grown tired of all this talking. So Tia, LuLu, its time for me to extinguish the both of you so that I can rule without any interruption to my glorious never ending reign of Chaos." He says grinning as he advanced on the two princess. Fear danced utop their features as all they could do was watch and wait for the end. Celestia turned to Twilight who had finally stopped freaking out and mouthed out. I'm sorry. Discord say the transaction between teacher and student and mearly giggled as he began to the one thing Villians always do....he got right to monolging.

"O Tia, don't feel so bad, there was nothing you could have done any way. You see, this plague has no cure, even if little Light here though she had found one. Do you know why~" Celestia could only fearfully shake her head. "Thats cause I caused it. How easy was to spread my Chaotic influence over the land after a certain wall eyed mare bumped into my stature and left a crack. After that it was as simple as infesting your precious subjects as well as yourselves. It was I who started this plauge, I sapped the strength of the every Earth Pony. It was also I who stole away all the Unicorns magic, and it was me who drained the stamina from those fility Pegaseses. I caused it all, in just a simple month I managed to bring Equestria to its knees. O and I must thank the both of you, for showing my that library, who knows what kind of Chaos I could sow with the knowledge contained within its corridors. O and Twilight. After I read them all, I plan on burning. Every. Single. Book. There, all 13 trillian of them, O how much fun it will be." Twilight at this point broke down int tears, knowing full well that she couldn't do a thing and she would have to watch the largest collection of knowledge be burn to the ground by this monster. It was then she felt a tap on her shoulder. Her now Dimond Dog head turned to see little Book Worm looking up at her. She could only look at him and cry as Discord continued his speech about how feeble they all were. About how innevitable their defeat would be. How the world would soon be his.

"Ho...Ho...How did you know about the Library and why weren't the fillies affected as most where!?" Rarity asked while she balled up in a corner. Discord could only chuckle as he began to explain.

"O that one was easy. You see, I had a minion of mine follow you." At this, a guard's pony leaped out, only to change into a changling, which caused a few jaws to become slacked. Discord chuckled once more, snapping his fingers together, causing the Changling to vanish into thin air and returning his attention to all present, an evil, insane glare cast about the room. "As for the fillies, well, what fun is there if I take away a child's life before I get to mess with it and such~" His grin growing as the fires of madness flicker behind his eyes.

"D-D-Dagon will stop you...." Celestia managed to choke out through her hyperventalating. Discord only looked down at her and began to giggle like a mad school girl.

"Tia...really...you think an old relic of the past can even come close to my power. You and I both know, he is gone, dead and gone. It really is such a shame, I would have loved to snuff his life out like a candle. He would probebly beg and plead in the end before I ended his lift" He began cackling and rolling around on the floor while holding his stomach. It was then that Book Worm walked into the middle of the room, causing Discord to slowly break free from his laughting spell and look at the little colt. "Whats wrong, to scared to speak still~" He jokingly poked Book Worm's head and giggled, only for the little foal to reach up and slap his dragon claw away.

"You always were one to reveal your plans to soon, Discord. You lack even a simblence of intellect and yet you think you own the right to rule others. Once again you have underestimated your enemies and brough yourself upon the guilitine, but this time, there be no stoney prision, there will only be your end." Book Worm shook his head. All present were dumb founded at how thoughly he had insulted the God of Chaos. Discord himself was turning red as he looked down at the Colt, he was beyond enraged at this point.

"Seems I need to make an example out of you whelp!" Discord bellowed as he reached out to grab hold of Book Worm, only to stop suddenly as Book Worm began to speak again.

" You are a fool Discord! Once again you over estimate your enemies and leave yourself open for defeat![" Book Worm snapped, in a voice that was that of something else,his voice became distorted and warped with power and energy as, again the jaws fell from those with the room. Discrod himself was blasted back by the force of the voice and flew back a few feet.

"Wh...What in all Tartarus are you!" He asked pointing a clawed hand at Book Worm, slightly shaking as he was over come with a sudden urge to flee.

" I am your destruction Harbenger of Chaos!" Book Worm was suddenly encased in flame, a cone of jet black fire errupted from the floor and enguled him. Fluttershy had by this point gone into shock, thinking Discord had prompted this and had executed poor Book Worm for standing up for them. Discord on the other hand had fallen back and began to back away, fear gripping his face. The fire suddenly began to extend from the sides,soon reaching nine feel across. The flame on the side began to weaver and a pair of Emerald wings spread out from it. Soon a reptilian tongue stretched out of the fire, followed by the head and body of a snake. Its back and sides were adorned with vibrant feathers of a deep green. The pair of wings folded against his back as the fire died away. All in the room backed away as far as they could from this strange creature. It was Twilight and Dash who, immidatly recognised it as the skeleton she had seen in the Library. This was lost on the others, for they were too gripped in the clutches of fear to realise this.

"Wh...wha....WHAT ARE YOU!" Discord had fallen back and was now trying to escape, for the first time he felt fear. He knew not what this thing was, but his instincts told him he needed to flee. The Serpent looked upon him with pity, and shook his head, pitying him.

" Discrd, you have worn out your welcome once again!" The creature lunged at Discord. He immidatly flew in to the air, attemtping to escape his persuer. It did him little good as the great serpent's wings unfuled and he gave chase after the Embodyment of Chaos. Discord, in his haste to flee, blasted one of the stain glass windows open, leaving a gaping hole in the wall for the feathered serpent to follow through. The two streaked off into the sky, leaving behind a mixture of emotions, fear, dread, worry, aprehention, and most of all curiosity. The Sisters as well as the Mare 6 and the recently de-petrified C.M.C. had no idea what to make of the creature what so ever.

C.M.C.'s Point of View

The C.M.C. had just returned from the petrified state to the most spectacular thing. Discord...running like a filly from a pack of Timber Wolves. It almost would have made them chuckle, if not for the fact they saw who it was that sent Dicord running. A massive Serpent, with wings as long a 3 Celestias in a line with their wings fully spread out and the very tips touching each other. They huddled behind their respective sisters as they watched the two creatures become nothing more then specs, that was before the first bellow reverberated around the chamber from outside as the two creatures clashed.

ManOWar: Gods of War

The Creature made the first move. Within his mouth a single spark flared to life, it grew as he gave chase. Soon, smoke, vapor, and ash trailed in his wake as he followed behind Discord, the God of Chaos fleeing still, fear gripped his features as The Creature crushed the now Celestia sized orb in his mouth, the miniture sun being snuffed out before he roared, the concentrated sun's energy blasting towards Discord, smoting him in the side.

Basilisk's attack

[0:10 - 0:20]

Discord roared in pain as he plummeted to the ground. Screaming in agony as he smashed into the ground. His dragon paw clutching at the now exposed muscle. With a snap of his finger the skin began to patch itself back together into a rather unsightly wound. Ponies by now had begun to panic and flee from the sight of Discord. He cared not, fear turned to rage at the prospect of being bested. With a gutteral bellow Discored moved to attack The Creature. The winged serpent, only smirked as his tail smashed into Discord's head.

[2:50 - 3:00]

Once again Discord found himself smote upon the ground, looking up at this...this freak of nature, blood dripping from his cheek. Taking notice of this Discord quickly whiped his chin, snapping his finger, appearing next to The Creature, and bit down into his wing. Discord was rewarded with a bellow, but then The Creature began to wrap himself around the Harbinger of Chaos's body. With a smirk, Discord snapped his fingers once again, teleporting out of range again, but what he didn't count on was The Creature anticipating this, and when Discord reappeared next to The Creature, what he recieved was a set of jagged fangs, as The Creature's maw sunk into his shoulder, his teeth tearing through bone and flesh like a chain sword through flak armor. [10 hugs to anyone who know what either of those things are]

[3:22 - 3:36]

Discord, for lack of a better word, was being bested, he refused to accept this and began devising a plan, only for the Creature's fangs to pierce through complete. Discord wailed, and began to claw at The Creature's face, his Dragon's claws leaving gashes across the feathered face as well as partially tearing out one of The Creature's eyes. The Creature became lax on his grip on Discord's shoulder, giving him the chance to teleport out of the fang's reach and to safty. The Creature began to persue his prey with a blood lust, his eye slightly hanging from its socket as he scoured the city. As The Creature looked, Discord hid in an alley way, like the coward he was, breathing heavily. His Lion paw hanging limp, his wound not healing as it should have, something in The Creature's venom must be keeping it from healing.

[End of Song]

The Mare 6 and the Sister's point of View

From outside they could hear Discord's first scream as the Solar Flame rought upon his body, pain unimaginable to the others. Dash was the only one who had ever out of the group taken significant damage, and that was a sprained wing. What they heard out there, was something akin to being stabbed or being lit aflame. Fluttershy had taken the liberty of cowering in the corner and balling her eyes out. Applejack was currently trying to confert her, but was having little luck.

Dash and Twiligth were by themselves, discussing what they had witnessed as Rarity and the Pinkie had taken to sitting with the Princesses. The C.M.C. had vanished to go and watch the fight outside, much to the unknown of the others. Cadance had even made an appearence, somewhat feeling much better. She stood in the door way as Discord's enchantments had begun to eb away and return the remained of the ponies to their original forms.

"I know...but Dash...you saw the bones back in the Library...there is no way that that could be who we think it is." Twilight was unsure if she wanted to belive it herself, but there was only one exact answer to what the two of them had just witnessed.

In a hushed tone "Come on Twi, you and I both know what it was we say back in that Library, I may not be an egg head, no offence, but I can put 2 and 2 together quite easily." Dash said, shaking her head and crossing her arms while hovering above ground. It was then that another beastial roar echoed around the room, drawing everyone's attention to what was going on outside. Blasting through a building, was a mangled Discord, bloodied and broken.

The Creature's Point of View a few mins ago

The Creature had been blind sided by a sneak attack, a long gash trailing up the side of his head as he turned, his fangs finding Discord's arm once again. Discord shriked as The Creature wrapped his tail around Discord's leg, and with a mighty pull, severed his still useful arm completely. To add insult to injury, Discord could only helplessly watch as The Creature threw the arm up into the air, before snapping his jaws around it. Discord's eyes followed the direction of the arm, till it vanished into the jaws of The Creature. With a wordless scream, Discord launched himself at The Creature, with the intent to finish this off, only to have a pair of jaws clamp down on his thoat.

Discord knew the end was upon him, and so he did the only thing he could do, he bit down on The Creature's muzzle, only for his teeth to shatter. The impact from the Creature's tail had done more then bat him into the ground, it had also cracked every one of his teeth at the same time.The Creature then began to shake his head, throwing Discord's limp body this way and that until he finally released his grip and sent him flying through an apartment building of a certain grey, raven haired mare.

[Beginning of Song]

Discord smashed through another wall. He was bloodied, broken, and with Internal Bleeding he wasn't going to last much longer. Upon seeing Celestia he immidatly began to beg. Only when his pleas remained unanswered did Discord turn to see The Creature looming over him, jaws wide open and saliva dripping. Celestia, Luna, Cadance, Twilight, Apple Jack, and Rainbow, being the most hard headed, could only back away, something told them not to interfeir with what they were witnessing. Even when Discord began to beg the other girls to save him on pain of death, which only caused Fluttershy to cry harder.

"Look at yourself Discord, your pathetic. You cry and beg for help at the end, instead of standing to meet it, yet here you are, on you'r knees groveling before the very creatures you were about to kill." The creature quickly spits on the ground next to Discord. "You were great once, before madness addled your will. Before you rended judgment on Dreconia. Before you murdered the Innocent and Guilty all in one stroke. How does it feel to have betrayed your own family! You are a blemish on this world. On all worlds! I shall cast judgment now upon you now!" Discord had been trying to back up as The Creature slowly advanced on him.

This sudden revelation was new to Celestia as well as to all the others present to this clash. Discord himself went wide eyed at the accusations, before a grin creased his mouth for a few seconds as one could only guess he was reliving these memories for one last time.

" The wages of Genocide is.....Death! " and with that, The Creature opened his maw wide, and a spark once again lit within his jaw. This time however, it coated his fangs as he blocked the view with his wings. To the ponies all they could hear was the very worst scream imaginable, the parts of Discord that could be seen were violently twitching and spazeming as half his body slumped on the floor, the other part was no where to be see as The Creature turned to reguard the ponies.

[End of Song]

Immidatly the Princesses got into a fighting position as well as the Mare 6. Fluttershy had finally worked up the nerve to face this creature down...till she saw the eye handing out of its socket. She imidatly ran to the nearest plotted plant and vomited up everything that her stomach had been holding. The C.M.C. followed like wise as well as Rarity. The Creature only chuckled till it realised what they were vomiting about upon feeling the eye ball slap against his scales.

" O well this is embarissing. The creature stated as he quickly hid his head under his wing.

"Leave now monster before we destroy you!" Luna bellowed at The Creature.

" Luna...I'm hurt, to think you would talk to me like that. Luna blinked a few times before resuming her charging stance.

"Who ever you are, leave now before I banish you to the sun!"

"Tia...Tia...Tia....you wound me. Do both of you truly not remember me?" The Creature asked.

"Wh...Why would we know a brute and a murder!" Both of the royal sisters exlaimed at the same time.

"O right, I have yet to introduce myself." The Creature folded his wing over his chest, and bowed. "Dagon, Von Basilisk at your services once again my friends." He says with a cocky grin at the reactions of everyone in the room. Tears began to flow like rivers from The Sisters as they hurled themselves at Dagon, Celestia creating a Solar Boom and Luna creating a Lunar Boom as they both collided with Dagon, forcing him out of the throne room and into the hall, in a Princess sized bear hug.

Twilight's point of view

All Twilight had seen was this massive, 30 ft, feathered serpent, with wings, bow to the princesses and reveal himself to be the creature that the Princesses had original sent them to find. Then 2 streaks smashing into him and watching him go flying out of the room and into the hall way. While Pinkie seemed to have vanished. Something about a "Welcome to Equestira. Welcome back from the Dead. Thanks for saving Us, and a Get well soon Party" all at the same time. Twilight could only sit down with her jaw agape for the third time that day and watch as both Princesses cried into the chest of some snake. Inside of her head she was screaming about how none of this made any sence.

Pinkie Pie's Point of View

Pinkie Pie just watched the two Princesses streak across the room, smashing into Dagon and through a wall as she herself sped off towards the kitchen. It took her quite a while to find it but when she did she got to work without any delay. Crafting Cake after cake as well as several hundred cup cakes, much to the head cheif's dismay. It was then that Pinkie came acorss something, behind one of the stoves, was a rune, a marking of sorts.

The image depicted of what looked like 2 blades, connected at the middle, one red, one blue, and what looked like words that had faded underneath it. Pinkie, being Pinkie, managed to phase through the wall and come across a set of stairs, leading to what looked like a long and dark hall way, which she began to descend.

Quetzalcoatl By the DragonofDoom

Quezalcoatl, one of four sons of Ometecuhtli and Omecihuatl. During the time of the extenction of the Aztecs, Ometecuhtli and Omecihuatl, came face to face with Jehova, the Christian God, who had joined this unholy crusade. They three fought bitterly for hundreds of years, till Jehova used an underhanded attack and caused one of Ometechtli's attacks to strike his mate. He watched Omecihuati fall before and for the first time he felt rage, it began to corrupt and twist the once gentle god. In his final moments of sentience he tore open a rift in time and space, he caust the last of his sons, Quetzalcoatl in, right before he became a deranged and blood thirsty beast and tore Jehova limb from limb. What transpired after that is a mystery that no one knows.

What Ometechtli became after the corruption took hold. By Maxarkes

Quezalcoatl awoke one week later after recovering, he awoke to a pair of strange quadropeds, one which was snow white, had a pair of wings, a horn on its head and its hair and tail were pink. It also had what appeared to be some sort of crown on its head as well as the picture of a sun on its rump. Its white coat reminded Quezalcoatl to much of the White Men who had put a torch to his vassles homes. He would have struck it down if not for the other one then and there. This second one was a lightish blue, its hair seemed to ebb and flow on a kind of thermal wind, like the kind he had used before the down fall to chase the sun across the sky each day, heralding the dawn of a new day. This other horse like creature bore the same wings and horn like the other, yet they seemed smaller. On this ones rump, depicted a cresent moon.

Filly Luna and Celestia by Pluckyninja

Neither Quezalcoatl nor the 2 horse type things could understand each other for a time, which was only a few weeks before he grasped their entire language and began to speak to them. After the death of his brothers thanks to a suprise attack by Jahova's arch-angles, Quezalcoatl decided it was smart to not reveal his true name, for all he knew these 2 could be Gabriel or Raphiel. Since he would not tell the two fo them his name, they introduced themselfs as Celestia and Luna, daughters to Princess Platnum and King Bronz Beard. He scoffed at their names and their pleas for him to reveal his own. They soon came up with a name for him. Based on his look and appearence, they called him Basilisk, Luna tacked on Dagon and they both decided Von would be a good additive. He decided to call his home in a mine to keep as much distance between him and the 2 horses.

Ironhoof Mine by Unknown Aritist

From then on Quezalcoatl was refered to Dagon, or Basilisk by the two when ever they would, much to his anger, visit him in what they called, Ironhoof Mine. Long abandoned and discarded by the Unicrons, he dwelled there for many years. Each day being pestered by the two equins, which he discorvered after "asking" a few bandits who decided to try and make their home in his mine, they there were called fillies. Since then they have spent long hours bothering him about where he was from, where he had been, and where he was going. Most of the time he could drown them out by either meditating or hunting. He had soon learned after arriving that he didn't need to chase the sun each day, that it could be risen by the shamans of this species.

Several years had passed when an accident involving a manticor nearly cost Luna and Celestia their lives. Quezalcoatl then began to realise he had grown attached to the fillies, like one would grow attached a disembodied voice that nagged you with questions every few seconds. He soon began to become a little protective of the fillies, even to the point of changing his shape to that of a pony and following them to make sure they didn't go exploring into something to dangerous. It was some hundred years before the guardians of The Eternal Library approached Quezalcoatl and offered him a position as lead librarian. He was hesitiant at first, but knew that the two of them had grown wise enought to no longer need protection, and so, after a thousand years, of being in their care he left.

Chapter: 3 Months Later

The Gryphans

Youtube Video

Chromehounds Music-- Intro/Critical Battle

[Begin Song]

3 months have passed since Discord's death and the end of the Everfree Plague. By now Manehatten had been retaken, with Dagon forming the spear tip as it pierced deep into the Gryphon controlled city. As quickly as the city had been captured, it was retaken, only with a lot more casulties for the gyrphans. Dagon bashed their defences aside with ease as he tore through their ranks, anger fuleling his attacks. His anger directed at the Gyrphans for dare invading this peaceful land. (By now, you all should have read his bio, so you know where his origins lie, so you know why he would take this invasion personaly).

[1:00]

Soon the 3 Hour War was won by the ponies, it was named as such, for it was the shortest war ever fought by either side. The Gryphans declared war on Equestria at the beginning of the seige, but after the general witnessed the brutality of Dagon, he qas quick to rescend that deceration of war as he was held at spear point. Currently the ponies of Manehatten are building a statue dedicated to the pony who saved them all, Dagon Von Basilisk. Built of Bronz, it showed an Earh pony, standing before a Gryphan, covered in strange armor, standing on his back legs, his hooves on the pummel of a blade as he looked forward, a squad of pegasis flying overhead.

[2:00]

For those of you wondering, Dagon, thanks to an accident with Luna and Celestia as Filies, gained the ability to shape shift to best fit the situation. Although thats a story for another chapter, any way, as the Gryphans were home licking their wounds, King Neon Beak was approached by Celestia and Luna, asking for a peace treaty between Equestria and The High Lands, ancestrial home of the Gryphans. After this took place, Basilisk retired to the palace, eager to sleep after 2 major engagements.

The Dragons

Dragonforce-Where Dragons Rule

[Start of Song]

The Dragons were much easier to deal with then the Gryphons, due to their greedy nature. Celestia and Luna with the help of Dagon met with the God of Dragons Obthiron, who's horde was 15 times the size of Canterlot. It was a simple matter of imparitng to him and his children the location of large gem and such deposits. Soon The Badlands were the main distributer of gems and the like, some how with the introduction of something as simple as mining, the dragons seemed to be able to satiate their greed for the time being. It was like plugging a cork in an ever flowing faucet, it will only stop the flow for so long till it comes uncorked and all hell breaks loose, but thats another story for another chapter.

[End of Song]

The Changlings

It was Cadance and Shining Armor who led the assault against the Changlings...or it would have been if this had been a rescue operation. A few weeks following the defeat of the Gryphons and Discord and the Alliance with the Dragons, Chrysalis, the changling queen approached Celestia, Luna, and Cadance, much to Cadance's anger. With her were a few of the ponies that were taken from their hospital beds during the plague. Chrysalis was quick to explain why the Changlings had done this, although to Cadance it sounded like an excuse not to get thrown into the dungen for her crimes.

"At first we thought we could use this plague to our advantage, till we discovered it blocked emotions, so we did what we had to, we stole a few ponies which we dubbed as samples and proceeded to try and find a cure." Celestia quickly gave her a questoning glare. "If your favorite and only food source was endanger, wouldn't you try to save it." Celestia hesitently nodded. "Well that was all it was at first, till he appeared" Celestia quickly asked what she ment by "He" which only got Chrysalis chuckling.

A deep rumbling came from down the hall as the sound of hooves clipping agaisnt the stone work. Soon a horrific sight greeted Celestia and Luna. A massive monster stood before the two of them.

"Let me introduce you to the one who changed my life. Celestia, Luna, and Cadance, meet, Old One Eye" The beast bowed to the 2 rulers and Cadance, then it spoke.

"It is my humblest pleasure to make both of your aquaitences." The creature bowed to them, it had a refined British accent.

What transpired next was probably the strangest occurance of off worlders ever. As The Generals of the Changlings and Luna, Celestia, The Mare 6, Basilisk who was disquised as a normal Pegasus, Cadance with her husband Shining Armor, and the Generals of Equestria, sat down to peace talk. It took many hours but soon the room was empty besides Cadance, Shining, Chrysalis, and Old One Eye who stood back.

"Cadance, I formally come before you to apologise for my actions at your wedding." Chrysalis then goes on to make amends for her. It took several more hours of persuadion from the Mare 6 and Shining, but lo and behold, Cadance and Chrysalis finally forgave one another.

Soon the arrangments were in place, and Equestria had gained another allie, which will come in handy in the future.

The Mare 6

Pinkie Pie- Upon returning to Ponyville from Canterlot, Pinkie seems to have taken to staying in Sugur Cube Corner now. A few of the others had noticed that she had taken to talking to herself more then ususal. Her mane and tail were deflated and she always had this creepy grin on. She still met with any of the Mare 6 or Spike when they came to visit, but always kept silent as the others talked. The others were beinning to worry for her, but thought it was just Pinkie being Pinkie, so they let sleeping dogs lie for a while.

AppleJack- Do any of you remeber that stalion I mentioned back at the beinning of this fic, well Applejack decided to ask him out. Can you all guess how it turned out, well if you said anything but he said yes, then you were wrong. Ófærr was estatic when Applejack asked him out, he even confessed that he had been working up the nerve to ask out the farm pony a few weeks before the plauge hit and Applejack was called away to Canterlot. Since that fateful weekend of the two spending time together, Big Mac saw fit to ask if Ófærr would like to help with Apple Bucking season, which he whole heartedly agreed to. Now the two have spent the last few months, each day apple bucking and spending time together.

Rainbow Dash- Well, after many failed attempts to join the Wonder Bolts, Dash had decided to just take up rising through the ranks of the Weather Control fo Ponyville. With her help, the town's weather team became the most renounded weather control team in Equestria. She spends most of the time lounging around, pranking, or just being lazy.

Twilight Sparkle- While the other 5 had returned to Ponyville, she decided to follow Dagon back to the Eternal Library with Spike tagging along, much to his amusment. She spends her time reading the billions of books contained within its walls. In the first few weeks, she had pested Dagon about his past, even to the point of whispering to him while he was sleeping, whispering. "You feel like telling Twilight Sparkle about your past tommarow" for a good 4 weeks, each time he slept. Dagon for one found it quite adorable to say the least, although he caught himself stareing at her when she wasn't looking. Had he fallen for the caresmatic mare? This would require loss of sleep to sort out he quickly reasoned.

Rarity- Much to Spike's sadness, Rarity had fallen head over hooves for a young and upcoming Solo Artist from Manehatten, named Sugur Swing. Spike was devestated when he heard the news that they were going out, and quickly vanished from the Eternal Library where Dagon and Twilight were currently researching a few things. Rarity, although she knew of Spikes feelings, she knew there was to much of an age difference between the two of them. She hoped he would some day understand. She still doesn't have any idea that Spike has been devestated from this revelation that 6 years of work to try and woo Rarity had been all for naught.

Fluttershy- Fluttershy had taken to taking care of more of the Everfree Forest, from Hydras to Manticors. This pretty made up her free time when she wasn't spending time with the other girls. Although she did come across a stalion living in tune with the Everfree a few weeks ago. His name was Maple Leaf, and he had been living with an Albino Hydra named Amut. Fluttershy was quickly smitten with him and his ability to coax the most dangerous of the Everfree's denicens.

The Others

Spike and Celestia- After being devestated by the news of Rarity falling form somepony, Spike fled the Eternal Library, running for weeks while his mind raged against itself in an unending bid for closure. A month had passed and he found himself wandering the Badlands. While soul searching, Spike found himself caught in a dust storm, he was beginning to choke when he was enveloped in a golden aura. Turning he found himself dragged into an abandoned mine, which the Dragons had quickly exhausted upon discovering a vein of gold there. With himself stuffed in the darkness, he couldn't help but shiver, till he felt something press against his side.

"Hello Spike." Spike jumped, quickly recognising that voice.

"Celestia....what are you doing in here?! What are you doing in the Bandlands!? What are you doing out of Equestria!?" Spike began to hyperventalate before Celestia answered.

"I got news from Dagon, about what you were going through. I came to find you and bring you home. What I didn't count on was this dust storm. Badland dust storms lasts for weeks at a time. We are going to be stuck in here for a while." Celestia lay down next to Spike, who was lightly shivering at the prospect of being stuck. Thought that night was unlike anything he would experience. As he was falling asleep, he yelled out, tears of blood stinging his eyes as his body was forced to go through a rapid puberty. It lasted all night, with Celestia staying by his side th entire time. By the next morning, Celestia was cradling the now adult dragon's head. Spike now stood some 7 to 8 feet tall, his arms and legs muscular, and his tail was just as long as his body. His spines on his back and head now mimiced the same look as when he succumbed to greed.

The two of them spent a good week with one another, by the time the dust storm had lifted, Celestia and Spike had found themselfs madly inlove with one another. Upon returning to Canterlot the two of them entered into a secret pact of setting aside time for each other. It was hard explaining his current form to the others, all he could explain was that his mind did not match his body, and so it forced it into overdrive to adapt to his mind. Now his body matched his mind and he couldn't have been happier.

Luna- After her return to Canterlot soon after the 3 Hour War, Luna just went and relaxed.

The End of This Chapter, hope you all enjoy it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Chapter 6.1: Ófærr and Applejack

Ófærr and AppleJack

"Hey there partner" Applejack waved to Ófærr as she entered the long house he had built upon moving to Ponyville some 7 months ago. All in all it was pretty spacious. Wide enought to accommodate at the very least 7 mares from one wall to the other. With 4 rooms, each with their own furnishing. Each room contained a bed, one night stand, one mirror on the right side of the room. Each bed had a standard pillow with a sheet, comforter, and a mattress.

As for the rest of the house it was pretty bare. The living room only contained one hand carved couch with a pair of cushions, two sets of chairs and a fire place. The kitchen was an assortment of spices, jars, and herbs to use in his cooking. Ófærr hailed from the tiny providence of Nova. Out side of the Equestrian boarder to the north. Cold and harsh, it is a land where the strong survive only by luck. This was apparent on Ófærr, he was of strong build. Much like Big Mackintosh, but his muscles weren't developed from years on a farm. No, it was from years of living a lone in a harsh and unforgiving environment. In actuality Ófærr was stronger then Big Mac, years of having to fight to survive had sculpted his body into ever mares dream, but most can't see past his scar.

Ófærr was a blacksmith by nature, from everyday house hold items to work tools, he could craft them all with relative ease. That didn't mean that he couldn't make armor and weapons. Far from it. His weapons were strong enough to with stand blows from manticore, yet powerful enough to deliver killing blows with the simplest of ease. His armor could withstand the acid spit of a hydra and was as tough as dragon scales. What gives his forge such potency, was his knowledge in a long lost art. Rune Shaping. He could craft a shovel and on the back, etch a Rune of Quaking, causing the ground that was struck to quickly loose its density. There are many more examples of these Runes, but we are getting off track.

"Ah, Miss Apple, good mornin" Ófærr waves to her as she enters the forge. The waves of heat roll over her as well as the mixture of Ófærrs sweat and an earthy smell that comes from working with your hooves in the ground or at a forge all day long. AppleJack suppressed a blush as her eyes roamed over Ófærr, most of his chest and lower legs covered in a thick dragon scale blacksmith's smock. Before you ask, no, he did not kill the dragon to get the scales. Applejack's eyes wanded over Ófærr's front legs, taking in the powerfully corded muscles that sat just beneath a layer of almond brown fur.

Ófærr had not taken notice of Applejack's traveling eyes as he worked. His hammer come down on a chuck of iron, shaping it into a bar. Applejack winced as sparks flew from the bar upon contact with the hammer.

"Olaf, i don told ya ta call me Applejack or Aj got that?" Ófærr replied with a nod before she continued.

"Say Olaf? Mind fixed up this 'er old pitch fork? One of the spurs don rusted off" Applejack pulled the broken pitch fork into the forge room. Which contained an assortment of ores from the standard iron to the incredibly rare Sea Foam ore that can only be found at the lowest depths of the oceans. Above the 10 x 5 hoof tall forge stack, which about 3 hoovs up opened into a cirle, the remainder of the top was suspended by 4 long Dragon Scale coated rods that kept the top of the forge from falling down. This was to allow alloys to be worked upon. His tools hung around the forge room as well as his different projects he was working on at the moment or in the near future.

"I would be delisted to" Ófærr reached for it without looking from his forge, instead of hard iron, he grabbed hold of something soft, firm, and warm. Turning he sees he had accidentally taken hold of Applejack's hoof. A blush spreads across his face as he let go of her hoof and was about to start apologizing for grabbing her. Only to receive a hoof from the evenly blushing mare.

"How about ya take me 'ta dinner as an apology there partner. I'll be back here tonight." With a wink and a quick exit Applejack left a completely stunned Ófærr behind. Once she was out of sight Ófærr began to panic. He would need a suit, quickly finishing off his work in the forge he ran out. First he entered his Longhouse which was situated next to it, ran to his room and grabbed his bag of bits. He had remembered Applejack had mentioned one of her friends was a tailer so he headed there first. He passes his house, without noticing Applejack hiding behind a tree, a massive blush spread across her face.

"We'll dang' Apple, ya finly done did it" she whispered to herself as she watched the stallion rush past her hiding place into town. Her breathing was heavy for a while as she waits for the sounds of hoof beating the ground disappeared over a hill. Now she had a problem, she would need a dress. Nothing revealing, but something to keep Ofaerr's attention. To this end. She would need to visit her dear competing buddy, Rainbow Dash, seeing as how Ófærr was currently heading towards Raritie's shop for a tux, probably. Although she knew that scar would put Rarity off, but a customer is a customer.

Ófærr

Rarity, she had always fancied herself a prim and proper mare. Currently, she was in the middle of preparing a new set of dresses for the Grand Galloping Gala. When the front door to the Caracel Botique was flung open. She nearly jumped out of her fur when it happened.

"How dare you enter this establishment in such a manner. I demand you vacate the premises imm-" she cut herself off as she entered the front of the shop. Standing before her was a stallion that could give any of the Royal Guards a run for their bits easily. He stood easily a head taller then Big Mac and was as muscular if not more then him. But this wasn't what made Rarity cringe in fear, it was his eye. Covering it was a tri-crescent scar that ran over the left eye and down to his chin.

"Do-do-don't hurt me!" Rarity turned to run till the stallion spoke.

"Tailor. I am here to purchase evening ware. Not to rob you!" his voice carries a very foreign accent.

"Evening wear? Wh-what kind?" Rarity asks with fear in her voice.

"Something for a" he trails off as he actually blushes.

"A date" he says half heartily. This causes Rarity to raise an eye brow.

"O darling~ why didn't you say so." Raritie's horn begins glow as both her and the stallion are transported to her work room. She quickly gets to work, measuring out his sides and the like. Half way thought Rarity asks the all important question.

"So....who's the lucky mare?" She asks as she is measuring out his right front leg. She does take notice of a strange marking in the hoofs of his front legs but pays it no mind as she thinks its just some strange tattoos or a fashion statement.

The strange stallion remained silent, Rarity quickly noted how nervous he was. It was kind of amusing, this stallion who looked like he could give any of the royal guard even Shining Armor, was nervous at the prospect of a date. She chuckled inwardly as she began to work. She quickly ushered him out of her work place. Telling him to come back in a few hours and his suit will be ready. He replied with a huff and left.

Applejack

Rainbow Dash was lounging around on her usual cloud. When a rawhide lasso suddenly gripped it and pulled it to the ground. She tired with a huff and was about to begin yelling at the pony who had the nerve to interrupt her campaign of sleeping. It was none other then the farm mare herself.

"Ok I'll bite. What gives. I was dreaming about the Wonderbolts and Sorain again!" Dash had begun to become angry till she noticed Applejack's fidgety behavior.

"Hey... AJ you alright?" Applejack could only nod. Dash jumped off the cloud and landed next to her as she waited for a response.

"Hey there...Sugar Cube. I got uh question for ya. ". Dash was perplexed for one but shrugged it off.

"Ok, what's the question?" Dash asked.

"Ya still got that dress ya wore 'ta Gilda's weddin ah few years back?" Dash was a little dumb struck she would ask and only nodded.

"Ah'right. I need it for tunight." Dash'es jaw dropped a little more and blinked.

"Alright....wait here for me to get it." Dash quickly took off and headed back towards her cloud house. Leaving behind a very nervous Applejack. It only took a few moments for the rainbow mare to return with a closed green box. She quickly passes it to AJ before returning to her cloud.

"Thanks ya Dash" Applejack quickly left the cyan mare to do her own thing. Dash on the other hoof had already left to inform Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy.

[c]enterÓfærr

A few hours have passed since that strange stallion had made a request from Rarity. And as she had said, the door chime rang as she was putting on the finishing touches to the suit. She turned to see the very same stallion standing in the front of her boutique.

"Just in time darling. Come lets see if it fits." Rarity quickly ushered him into the changing room with the suit. A few moments later he retired. The suit fit perfectly, from the cuff links to the pants. It was a standard black tux with a white collar and red tie. The strange stallion who Rarity had only seen a few times thanked her for the work, payed the bits and a few rubies which caused her to grin from ear to ear. As he left the boutique a certain lavander mare just happen to walk in.

"Twilight, darling! How are you. I thought you would never come back after you had spent so much time with "thing" . Rarity had much distance for Dagon, after all he had caused her to vomit during their first true face to face meeting in the throne room of the Princess Sisters after his defeat of Discord. Vomiting is very unlady like.

"Rarity, that thing you were referring to is quite the gentle...I don't quite know what he is but is is a pure gentle stallion. He is the nicest creature I have ever met." Rarity only hummffed.

"Any way, who was that stallion with the box? Never seen him around before?" Rarity scratched her chin as she thought for a moment.

"I actually don't know his name." Rarity shrugged as she looked at Twilight.

"We'll what did he order? He doesn't look like the kind of stallion to order something from here." Twilight asked as she set down a ripped scarf on the counter. Rarity eyed it before going full gossip mode on Twilight.

"Ah that's right. He bought a tux! Quick don't loose him. I want to know who this unlucky mare is he asked out." Rarity grins as she pulls Twilight out of her shop, turning the "We are open" to "We are Closed".

"Rarity, that's not very nice. Who knows what kind of mare he asked out. Show a little consideration. Any way, why do you say the mare is unlucky?" Twilight asked as the two mares followed after the stallion heading towards the outskirts of Ponyville.

"O well he is obviously in a gang. Did you not see those tacky tattoos he had on his hooves." Rarity quickly etches the symbols into the ground as the two of them have stopped. Now hiding behind a bush a few hundred hooves from what appears to be a house. Twilight makes a mental note of the symbol then returns her attention to the house. It's unlike any other house in Ponyville. It's long, almost a few hundred hooves long and around 50 hooves across. It's built of what appear to be EverFree trunks. Who ever this stallion was, he had built his entire home out of the EverFree, which perplexed Twilight to no end.

A few hooves away from the two, they spotted another bush shaking, Twilight noticed a rainbow tail sticking out of it. It was then that she overheard the sound of approaching hoof steps. She quickly teleported herself and Rarity into the other bush. Quickly before Dash could tell, Pinkie could scoff in her depressive self, or Fluttershy could eep, Twilight silenced them.

"What the hay Twilight? Why are you here?" Dash demanded. The bush they were currently in was not in the line of sight of Ofaerr's long house.

"Well Dash. I had come back to have a scarf repaired by Raity when she dragged me along on this wild goose chase after a strange stallion who had left as I was entering with what appears to be a tux. Apparently he had a date and Rarity wanted to know about it." Twilight quickly summed up their being here.

"And you three? What are you all doing here?" Twilight asked with a raised eye brow.

"Well we are tailing Applejack" replied Dash, earning her a raised eye brow from Rarity and Twilight.

"She asked to borrow that dress I wore to Guilda's wedding to Hard Hat a few years ago. Shhhhh here she comes!" They all got quiet as Applejack passed the buss, wearing a stunning red, long, fur tight dress that showed off her curves as well as give her a more sophisticated appeal Rarity beamed as she saw her creation being put to better use then Dash sneaking into the Wonderbolts convention to try and hit on Soarin again. She could and would stimulate any stallion or mare if they were to see her.

The mares in the bush waited till they heard a door open and a very Nordic accent float down to them.

"Ah Applejack. Your early." His voice trailed off as the mares could hear Applejack giggle at the door way.

"Wha's wrong there Sugar Cube~ cat got your tongue?" A few seconds of silence follow before the strange stallion and Applejack both share a laugh. He quickly ushers her in. Once the door is closed, the others spring from hiding, minus Pinkie Pie who just sort of walks over to the window.

"Did you hear Applejack. She was totally hitting on who here that was" Dash quipped before the others nodded.

"Girls. You may want to see this, if thats ok with you of cource?" Fluttershy quickly beckoned them over to the window. Their eyes beheld the stallion who had opened the door, and some of them were frightened.

"Look at the size of him. He's huge." Dash exclaimed as she saw Ófærr. Then she took notice of the food. Much of it was a combination of different foods, such as cheese, salads, or pastries. In the middle sat a plate of what the others deduced were nuts of some kind. Applejack had been laughing at a joke when she pops one into her mouth. Her eyes shoot open and she lets out a soft moan before staggering back. Ófærr rushes to keep her from falling. This causes the girls to jump into action till they hear Applejack speak.

"Sweet Celestia! That was the single greatest thing I ever don tucked into! Why ya never said ya was good with vittles before Ófærr?" The mares outside blink and sit down. Pinkie Pie shrugs off the challenge to her cooking skills. Ófærr lightly blushes, but the fire light hides it.

"I enjoy cooking a lot is all" He says grinning.

"I can tell Sugar Cube, now lets get back...." Applejack's voice trails off as she and Ófærr return to talking and eatting, much to the mare's disappointment.

"What kind of a name is Of...Of... I can't even pronounce that!" Dash quietly whispered. Twilight was as perplexed as the cyan mare.

The night quickly spiraled down to dinner, sitting by a raw ring fire and swapping stories, and then for the final piece. Ofaerr began to sing for Applejack, who was not expecting this.

Journey - Faithfully

"♪ Highway run.

Into the midnight sun.

Wheels go round and round.

You're on my mind. ♪"

Applejack could only hold her mouth closed. She had expected his singing voice to be so so, but this....she had not expected this at all. The other mares outside the window were also a-taken back, they each had their expectations on how well his voice would sound, none of them were prepared for his voice. Like flowing silk he wove a tail of a Stallion who had been inlove with a mare, and missed her.

"♪ Restless hearts.

Sleep alone tonight.

Sending all my love along the wire.

They say that the road.

Ain't no place to start a family.

Right down the line it's been you and me.

And loving a music stallion.

Ain't always what it's supposed to be.

Oh Girl.

You stand by me.

I'm forever yours.

Faithfully! ♪"

By now, most of the mares outside the window were in tears over the beautiful song, the story it told was both moving and captivating at the same time

"♪ Circus life.

Under the big top world.

We all need the clowns to make us smile! ♪"

Applejack was utterly moved at this point, she couldn't say a thing as she listened to Ófærr continue.

"♪ Through space and time!

Always another show.

Wondering where I am lost without you.

And being apart ain't easy on this love affair.

Two strangers learn to fall in love again.

I get the joy of rediscovering you.

Oh girl.

You stand by me.

I'm forever yours.

Faithfully! ♪"

All the mares could feel the end was closing in on them as Ófærr moved on to the final verse.

"♪ Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!

Oh oh oh oh oh oh!

Faithfully.

I'm still yours!

I'm forever yours!

Ever yours!

Faithfully! ♪"

As he finished, Applejack jumped to her hooves and began to clap excitedly, she was beyoned moved now. With tears in her eyes, she rushed and nearly tacked Ófærr to the ground before he could move. It was thanks to his years of fighting that he was able to stay on his feet.

"That was just the prettiest song I ever heard, Olaf, where did ya hear it?" Applejack asked as she whipped her eyes from the tears that had begun to form again.

"I wrote it" Ófærr's answer awarded him with a blank stare. "No really I did, came up with it after you left" Applejack was not prepared for this, she blushed. Ófærr was the first stallion to ever put this much effort into making her night special, let alone write Applejack a song. She was moved to tears once again, but Ófærr stopped her before she could give him another tackle.

"How about we enjoy some wine, then I walk ya home?" Ófærr asked as he put his hooves on Applejack's shoulders.

"That sounds lovely" Applejack replied as the two of them headed into the kitchen, althought Applejack stayed close to Ófærr. solicitying a blush from him that did not go unoticed by Applejack, which she immidatly used to tease him. Back outside of the house, the other mares had taken their leave. Ófærr had proven himself trust worth of Applejack's affections, but each of them, minus Pinkie Pie, would individually interrogate him to make sure he was safe for Applejack to be around.

About an hour later, Ófærr and Applejack trotted back towards Sweet Apple Achers. As they near the groves of Apple Trees, Applejack keeps close to Ófærr, something about him gives her a sence of securtiy. As they approach the front door to Applejack's home, she turns quickly to Ófærr.

"I had a very fun time tonight Olaf." She blushes as she gengerly pecks him on the cheek then rushes inside. Ófærr smiles as he heads back home, tired but happy.

Chapter: Prologe

His head slowly rose from the massive pile of books. He had fallen asleep again during his duty as chief librarian. He would probably going to hear about it later. As he shook his head of sleep and books, he couldn't help be feel proud. Him, the last son of a god, had been tasked with the protection of Knowledge. Not just any knowledge, all knowledge. Within these walls was housed all knowledge, from all planes of reality, all galaxies, all dimensions, it became a focal point quite a few times during raids.

As he looks around for a double take a tiny creäture walked up on 2 legs, eyeing his behavior. "What do you think you are doing, those were suppose to be translated and stored last night!" He glared angrily at the other creäture now beginning to do as instructed.

"Sorry Arthur, just dosed off in another Romance novel, these mortals know how to make the impossible, well possible some times." He scooped up the books and began to place them in their respected positions as the stone just sighed.

"Don't let it distract you Dagon, you have work to do" With that he leaves Dagon to his work. After Arthur leaves, Dagon retrieves the book he had read, and beds back down, digging into it. He could only chuckle as he read on, a story he knew all too well, "The Founding of Equestria"
