Chapter 1: The Mysterious Book.
It been 3 days after Lord Tirek has return to Tartarus and the Friendship Rainbow Kingdom castle has been formed in Ponyvile, every pony has been return to their normal lives with a new sight for the town and getting used to the new castle. The new castle has under the rule of friendship with Twilight Sparkle, the princess of friendship and the element of magic, along with her friends: Rainbow Dash, the element of loyalty; Applejack, the element of honesty; Fluttershy, the element of kindness; Pinkie Pie, the element of laughter; and Rarity, the element of generosity, aiding Equestria in it needs and bring friendship along the way.
Seeing the castle library with large bookshelves on every wall that could be big enough to store half of the Canterlot Archives, Twilight Sparkle has been busy with stacking some old books that had survived the destruction of the Golden Oaks Library. Some of these books are in rough shape on the outside, but still readable on the inside.
After she is done with stacking some books, she is about to head to the council chamber with her friends, until she heard a whisper. A whisper of a language she is not familiar with and so quiet, it only is heard of a pin drop. Twilight stopped for a second and turned her head to the back, but whisper went silent. She returned to her path, but the whisper has return and starting to call her.
Twilight decided to follow the whisper and seeing where it is coming from. The whisper is growing less silently as she getting closer to the source of the whisper, but she walk towards an empty bookshelf. She thought to herself, how does a whisper come from a bookshelf?
She observes the bookshelf for any sort of odd entity until she heard one of her friends call her name. "Twilight," the pony speaks with a southern accent, "what are you doing?"
Twilight turned her head and greets her friend. "Oh hey Applejack," Twilight turns her head back to the bookshelf. "I heard a whisper that is coming from this bookshelf and I had no idea where is it coming from."
"Ya might be hearing things, sugarcube," Applejack stated her opinion with a smile on her face.
"I guess you're right, Applejack," Twilight agreed.
"Are ya done with staking those books?" Applejack asked.
"Yes I am." Twilight replied.
"Good, the others need ya at the council chamber."
"Then let's go," Twilight said with a smile on her face.
As they are about to turned to the exit of the library, Twilight bump into the bookshelf, which it triggers a mechanism to open a secret passage to a staircase where leads to a dark chamber. Both Twilight and Applejack saw the bookshelf opening itself to the floor and seals it with another floor with their eyes wide open. The bookshelf opening made such a commotion that the other ran to the library as fast as they could. As they enter the library, they saw the alicorn princess and the southern pony facing the chamber.
"What just happen," Rainbow Dash started to ask.
"I don't know," Twilight respond. "I was about to leave with Applejack, then I bumped to the bookshelf and this happen."
"OOOOOOHHHHHH, this is so cool." Pinkie Pie glee as she looks at the dark room. "What do you think it is in there?"
"I do not know, Pinkie," Twilight respond as she look down at the bottom. "But I want to know what is down here."
"I don't want to know what is down there," Fluttershy speaks quietly.
"Don't worry, sugarcube," Applejack tells Fluttershy, "Nothing bad is going to happen." Fluttershy is still afraid of what is at the bottom the stairs, but with her friends on her side she is less afraid.
As Fluttershy gained a little confidence, the gang enters the top of the staircase and starts too walked down the stairs. Twilight turned on her horn to for light and walking down stairs. The others followed her with precaution while Pinkie bounces as she follows her. The staircase is very long and very dark. Even with Twilight's horn glowing, they cannot see a thing. Rarity complains about the dark and long staircase and asking if they reach the bottom yet, and everypony kept on saying no which made her upset even more.
As the gang progress on their journey, Rainbow Dash came up with an idea. "I got an idea. How about I fly to bottom and see if there is anything."
"Why didn't I think of that," Twilight ask herself. "Rainbow, you and I will go down to the bottom while the rest of you stay up here and wait for us until we come back," Twilight order her friends.
The others nod, and the lavender alicorn with the light blue Pegasus flown all the way down while the marshmallow unicorn turned on her horn for light so the yellow Pegasus wouldn't be afraid.
Both Twilight and Rainbow Dash reached to the bottom and lay down their wings. The bottom seems empty and nothing more. Wait, there is something. It is a book of some sort, on a pedestal. The book is covered in what it looks likes somepony sewed it. What is it doing here, who put it here, and why and how? This is the biggest mystery they came across since the chest of Friendship appeared from the Tree of Harmony.
Twilight light up a candle light spell so they see what the book is about. As she opens the book, the first two pages that she sees are shape and writings. On the left page, it looks likes circles with a sun on the upper right corner and a moon on the lower right corner, and the rest is filled with writing that she has never seen before. On the right page, it appears to be a triangle with a big circle with forks in the middle and little circle on every angle and three suns outside the triangle. But the bottom sun looks like it got an eye in the middle.
This is the strangest book anypony lay eyes on, and Twilight is the first.
"HEY TWILIGHT, RAINBOW DASH," Applejack shouted, "Y'ALL ALRIGHT!"
"WE'RE FINE," Twilight responded. "WE'RE COMING UP!"
Twilight picked up the book and fly up to top where the others are. Rainbow Dash followed her all the way.
As they made to the top of the staircase, the other ponies that were on the stairs made it to the top as well.
"Twilight," Rarity began to speak, "what is that book?"
"I don't know, Rarity," Twilight respond, "this is the strangest book I ever lay hoofs on."
"Well it is strange," Rarity commented. "I mean look at the cover. It looks like somepony sew with a bunch of old rags on it."
"You think that is strange," Twilight states her opinion, "Look at the pages. I never have seen anything like this."
"Um, girls," Fluttershy speak silently, but no one respond.
"Ah'm getting a weird vibe from that book," Applejack commented.
"Girls, there is…" Fluttershy tries to tell them something but they cannot hear her.
"What do you think this is about," Rainbow Dash asked.
"I am not certain," Twilight responded, "but I think this should be something that Princess Celestia should know. Maybe she can help us."
"So," A loud voice echoes through the library, "my Oghma Infinium has been found. I must say, I never thought I would find it in this world."
The Mane 6 turned their heads and they see a purple wretched abyss blocking the exit. In their surprise, they have never seen something that can communicate.
"Who are you?" the lavender alicorn asked.
"I am Hermaeus Mora," the abyss introduces itself, "the Daedric Prince of Fate and Knowledge, the Seeker of the Unseen, and the Knower of the Unknown. It is a pleasure to meet you, Princess Twilight Sparkle."
Everypony is surprise that it knows Twilight's name, but they do not know who or what Hermaeus Mora is.
"How did you know Twilight," the rainbow Pegasus asked.
"Now that is a good question," the abyss replied. "While I influence my subjects in Tamriel, I had been studying your world. I am mostly impressed with you." He pointed out to Twilight. "How far you had become with the knowledge that you have learned and everything you earned. How you face so many adversaries that not even your own rulers would face against them. I am also surprise that a mere mortal like you could have become a god, very Impressive."
The mane 6 didn't anticipate that somethingfrom another world could have learned so much about Twilight.
"What do you want?" Twilight begin to ask the Prince.
"My time is short and I must take my leave," the Prince replied. "I just want to discuss with you in my realm of Oblivion. To get there, you must go to the Canterlot Castle Library; there you will find a Black Book. Once you are in my realm of Oblivion, I will meet you there. We have much to discuss."
The purple wretched abyss has vanished in thin air, leaving the Mane 6 in question about this Black Book this Prince described.
"What does he mean a black book," Rarity asked.
"I don't know," Twilight respond, "I never heard of a black book in the archives."
"Do ya think that Princess Celestia might know about it," Applejack suggested.
"Maybe," Twilight replied. "I'll have Spike to write a letter to the Princess. Hopefully we might have some answers when we meet this Hermaeus Mora."
Fluttershy gasped as she heard Twilight said the stranger's name as if it made her body shiver. She has feeling that he could be a dangerous monster or an evil pony that will hurt Twilight. Fluttershy began to ask, "Um, Twilight, you are not considering meeting him, are you."
"I am, Fluttershy," Twilight answered with a determine tone. "I may not know what he looks or what he is, but I want to study him as he studies us. I'll get Spike to send him a letter to Princess Celestia."
Fluttershy is terrified of what is going to happen to them as they are going with this. But a part of is confident to face the stranger in person.
