- >It took you a minute to wake up.
- >Whenever you do, Twilight is always sleeping on your chest.
- >Welp, today isn’t going to start itself.
- >You gently peel your mare off of you so she can continue sleeping.
- >Tiptoeing down the stairs of the treebary, you see that everyone else is still asleep.
- >Glimmer is in her bed, Spike is on the couch, outgrowing his old bed.
- >Might as well make them breakfast.
- >About fifteen minutes later, you hear magic going off.
- >The aura is around a stool that is going to your direction.
- >Twilight goes up one the stool so she can give you a kiss.
- “Good morning sleepy head.”
- >”Morning, what did you make?”
- “Just some scrambled eggs, pancakes, and some coffee. Coffee is in the cup.”
- >”Thanks, it’s either Spike or I that makes all this. Why did you do it today?”
- “No real reason. Thought it would be a nice surprise. So what does today look like for the library?”
- >Like she always does, Twilight pulls out a list.
- >”Today, Glimmer is learning a bit more about telekinesis, you and Spike will help me dust the shelves, I am going to help Glimmer the basics of teleporting, Spike will help me organize the books that are A-C, and you will meet a camel from Saddle Arabia. The Camel said he has found a rare book and will like for one of us to meet him and pay for it.”
- >Sounds like one of the busier days.
- “What time will he arrive?”
- >”He said around four o’clock.”
- >You hear a pair of footsteps.
- >You turn and see that both Spike and Glimmer.
- >Ever since you’ve been here, Spike has grown from around your knee, to roughly a bit shorter than your chest.
- >Glimmer is almost to your belly button.
- “Morning you two, hope you got enough sleep. It’s going to be a long day ahead of us.”
- >While the four of you are eating, Twilight told them what the day looks like.
- >God you love that mare. Eleven years together.
- >You two have been a couple around six months after you arrived in this world.
- >Funny thing is you haven’t gotten married yet, just haven’t gotten the time.
- >Really doesn’t matter though, you might as well be.
- >You’ve also heard there are a few humans scattered around the world. Last you heard, at least a few dozen.
- >”Dad, what are you thinking about? You look like you spaced out.”
- “Nothing much sweetheart, just looking back I guess.”
- Later
- >Looks like it’s time to help to get the dust behind the shelf.
- >”Anon, can you and Spike move the shelf for?
- “Sure Twi.”
- >You grab the bookshelf and simply lifted it.
- >Since you’ve gotten here, you realized that you have a great amount of strength.
- >You have yet to find something that is hard to pick up.
- >The only people who really know are the princesses, your daughter, and your friends.
- >While you were holding the shelf, Twilight and Spike dusted.
- >After you were done helping Twilight and Spike, you decided to watch Glimmer and how far she has come with telekinesis.
- >When she first started, she could barely hold a small box full of books up.
- >Might as well see what she can do now, you have a few hours to kill before the camel comes to the library.
- “Hey Glimmer, mind if I watch?”
- >”Okay dad, I’m okay if you do.”
- >Her, “horn,” starts to form.
- >Instead of having a horn, she creates a horn construct. Her magic aura and horn are bright yellow.
- >Now what is Glimmer going to try to pick up?
- >She starts giggling.
- >Looks like she has an aura around you and your chair.
- >You really don’t care, it’s not like she can actually hurt you.
- >She has you a foot off of the ground
- >Looks like she is really pushing it, she’s starting to sweat.
- >Now she is trying to turn you upside down.
- >Glimmer has you on your side.
- “Glimmer, you can stop. Looks like you found what you can do.”
- >The aura leaves your body and the chair the moment you say that.
- “Oh, shi-“
- >Instead of putting you down gently, she just drops you.
- >”Dad! I’m sorry! Are you ok?”
- “Yeah sweetheart, I’m fine.”
- >Get up and brush whatever dirt is on you off.
- >She looks at you with the kind of eyes that say, “I may be in trouble.”
- >”I’m Sorry Dad.”
- “It’s okay Glimmer. I’m actually proud with what you did.”
- >You then grab her and give her a big hug.
- >She gets a huge smile on her face, “You are?”
- >”Yeah, Last time I watched, you couldn’t do anything like lifting me.”
- >You hear a pair of hooves stop, it’s Twilight. She’s just smiling.
- “Hey Twi, how long were you there?”
- >”Long enough, the camel is supposed to come in an hour, want to get something to eat? ”
- “Sure, where do you girls want to go?”
- >”I can just stop by the café and pick something up. How does that sound?”
- “That sounds good to me. What do you think Glimmer.”
- >”I like that Dad. Oh, I forgot to tell you and mom that you got a letter from the Princess.”
- >She pulls out the letter and hands it to you. Sure enough, it has Celly’s seal.
- “What could it be about this time?”
- >You open the letter and read it out loud.
- “Anonymous and my Student Twilight,
- This is an invitation for the international banquet that will be happening in Canterlot. The most important figures of Doeway and Griffin Country will be there. A few to name will be Ra, king and sun of the east, Dodin the Allbuck, and the prince of Griffin Country, Ironclaw. If you accept this invitation, send it back.
- From,
- Princess Celestia”
- “Do you want to go Twi? I don’t mind going or just staying home.”
- >You finally looked away from the letter and to Twi.
- >She had a grin as big as when she figured out you were moving into the library.
- >”YES! It’s been a long time since we’ve seen Celestia. I have so many things to ask Dodin and Ra. Do you think anyone else will be there? I wouldn’t think Dodin’s sons would skip something like this.
- “I’m sure they’ll be there, looks like the two of us are going.”
- >”What about me, can I go dad?” Glimmer asked you.
- >She is using those eyes Twilight uses to guilt you into something.
- >You’re finally learning to resist.
- “Sorry Glimmer, this looks like something for grownups.”
- >”But-“
- >”You’re father’s right. We don’t want you to go so you stay in a room in the castle the entire time.”
- >”Awww.”
- “Don’t worry Glimmer, we’ll tell you everything that will happen.”
- >Few hours pass have passed and you look at the time.
- >Looks like it’s almost time to see the Camel.
- >Right now, Glimmer is learning how to teleport with Twilight in the basement.
- >Fun fact, Saddle Arabia is a City state in Griffon Country.
- >You told him to just meet you in the library.
- >Right now you’re just reading one of the few books you brought here.
- > A leather bound best of H.P. Lovecraft.
- >Another Fun fact, Twilight mistaken this book for the bible when you first showed her your books.
- >The front door opens.
- >Speak of the devil, the camel just came in.
- >You walk up to him.
- “Afternoon Mr. Sahel, welcome to the Golden Oak Library”
- >”It is a pleasure to be here, Anonymous of Earth. I would like to make business with you.”
- “Great to hear Mr. Sahel, what is it you have today from Saddle?”
- >He pulls not a book like you expected, but a scroll.”
- >“It is an old text I found, one that is I figured out to be at least two hundred years old.”
- “May I take a look, just so I can confirm it?”
- >”You may Anonymous.”
- >It takes you about ten minutes to go through all the usual steps of inspection.
- “Looks like this is a real scroll Mr. Sahel, how much were you expecting?”
- >”I don’t need any money, just consider this a donation.”
- >Wait what?
- “Are you sure Mr. Sahel, this scroll is older than almost anything we have here. It just seems like plain thievery.”
- >”I’m quite sure, man of earth.”
- >The camel is heading toward the door.
- “Well thank you for your business. Hope to see you soon again.”
- >”It was pleasure doing business with you too Anonymous.”
- >He just exited the Library.
- >You know it’s real, now to find out what the text is about.
- >You’re an hour into reading it now and about done with it.
- >From what you can tell, it’s one of the older global treaties.
- >Specifically between Equestria, Doeway, and the Griffon Country.
- >The one interesting thing is what seems to be the universal law for demands, the labors of Penance.
- >Each of these labors are said to be impossible for any being, excluding the current leaders; Celestia, Ra, and Dodin.
- >Half of the places these labors are located you haven’t even heard of or are cities that are now run down.
- >”So Anon, what did our friend give you this time.”
- >”Yeah daddy, what’s does the scroll say.”
- “Nothing much, it’s just an old treaty.”
