The artifact
Twilight sparkle wondered through the libraries of canterlot, looking for a new spell book among them, but just sighed when she found none. After all, twilight had been arch-mage for three and a half years. She had grown her mane a little longer in that time, but had kept its shape, and her magic was now even more powerful then ever. During this time spike had grown up enough to fly and took an elder dragon as a mentor to teach him how to become a powerful and magical dragon, as magic belonged not only to ponykind, but to dragons aswell. Rainbow dash had managed to get a spot on the wonderbolts as a recruit and had performed at several events since. Rarity set up a business with fancy pants help, and had made headlines recently, and apple jack now owned the biggest orchard in all of equestria. Meanwhile pinkie still worked for the cakes looking after there children and helping run the business, as for fluttershy, she now had the biggest animal sanctuary in the southern part of equestria.
