I would have finish the chapter before the first day of February. But oh well, better late than ever.

My sister told me that male ponies are know as geldings, which is also stallions. That they are both. I just put gelding or stallions for Arthur and the three stallions in Ember gang.

I also saw the sneak peek of My Little Pony season 6. Can't wait to see it, even the cute baby princess with big wings.

Enjoy.


Ember, Arthur and their five friends had already been searching through the books of the library, trying to find anything that tells the secret of what the stallion knights are hiding. But they found no glues about it, which is hard to search and it's already been an hour. Also each of the ponies had look through thirty books.

"Anypony found anything?" Ember inquired as she closed her next book.

"Not yet." Replied Jasmine.

"There's no clues about what we are looking for." Said Fixit.

"You telling me." Shooting Star complain about how many the old books are.

"We can't give up." Ember declared with encouragement. "The secret is must be in one of these books."

Arthur agrees with Ember and how grateful she is of help him finding the secret of his tribe. As he continued searching through the books on the book shelve, he notice a funny looking book with no title. When he pull it, the bookcase began to move. The book he just pulled was not really a book but a lever.

The ponies were startle by the noise and the movement of the bookcase where Arthur was.

"What that you've found Arthur?" ask Filbert when came to him. "What happen?"

"I not sure." Said Arthur.

Ember and the other stop of what they're and came to Arthur and surprise that the bookcase reviled a hidden chamber. It was dusty and a bit dark in there. Also in the middle of the chamber was a book stand with a bright blue book.

"That a pretty looking book." Jasmine admired the book.

They went in the hidden chamber, though is a bit small by there's enough room. They look at the bright blue book and title, 'The legends of the mystic knights'.

"That sound interesting." Said Fixit.

"I bet that the book that we were looking for." Ember declared.

"I hope so." Arthur said. "And I bet my family must have keeping it hidden in this hidden room."

"Then let's take a look at it." Shooting Star suggested. "We don't want to waste time."

"What about Buttons, Melody and Sweet Stuff?" ask Jasmine as she remember about them. "Should we let them know?"

"Maybe I should check on them." Martino with an idea. "And see if I can fetch them."

"I'll go with you." Said Fixit. "Just in case."

Ember was wondering of what her three friends were doing and let Martino's idea of finding them. As he and Fixit went off.

"Do you think it a good idea?" ask Shooting Star with a wonder.

"Let's not worry about it." Ember suggested, "Now let's see what in that book."


Buttons, Sweet Stuff and Melody were in a room filled of wonderful tapestries. Buttons had never seen such work of art of the tapestries, was new kinds of patterns, pictures and colours.

Sweet Stuff was enjoying herself too. She was interesting of the tapestries as much as Buttons, but she rather like to wonder around the room with some interesting things. Like the armoured statures, the candle stands, the ceiling of the room and the outside of the window. She also wonder what the kitchen looks like, since she miss going baking at the café.

As for Melody, she was interesting of the castle too. But she was wondering what the other were going. She starting to feel nervous a bit, but she humming herself with her songs to make her relaxed and clam. It is unsurprised that the two of her friends are enjoying themselves, she doesn't want to ruin their time.

"Oh, this is so wonderful." Said Buttons as she sewed one pieces of one tapestry. "This tapestry has the picture of the night, the trees and a battle of two knights. This is such genius, to show the beauty and tales about them."

"Do you know that in Cantorlot that they do the same?" said Sweet Stuff, "Not by tapestries, but stained glasses. They were bright lights of colours by the sun light."

"We've know about it the stained glasses at Cantorlot and we been there for Ember's coronation."

"Why do you want to sew up the tapestries?" Melody ask Buttons. "Don't you think we should have stay with the others? They're properly in the library by now."

"I know what you mean Melody. But I just like to fix up one tapestry, so I can relax for a while and study the patterns and pictures for my shop back home. Good thing a got my sewing kit."

"I think you plan it to get away from Martino." Sweet Stuff was a thought. "I know it's not of my business and that he drive you crazy. But he is a nice guy and he like to make anypony happy. With his tricks, his jokes and everything."

"Sweet Stuff is right." Melody agreed. "And he's always been a great help. We know you don't think he's your type and you can't figure him out. But you should give a chance or something."

Buttons was unsure of the idea, but she has admitted that Martino is a funny guy, full of energetic in his own way and willing to help her by being so sweet. But she is still unsure, besides she and Martino were too different. How a unicorn like her can be with an earth pony like Martino? And can she give it a try?

But now she needs to be herself for now, before she can work it out. Her two friends watch her being quiet, so she quickly replied. "I'll think about later, I just want to continue this." And then she returned to finish her sewing.

"How long does it take?" ask Melody. "Because it looks like is been an hour."

"Only in ten minutes." Buttons promised. "But don't worry, we'll catch up with the others when I'm done."

Melody hope so, she figured that Ember and the others might be in the library. And knowing how quiet the house of knights is, she had a bad feeling about something will happen.


Her feeling were close to be right, because something is about to crawl out of its dark cave. With glowing red eyes, a breath of smoke and came with a big foot with great claws out of the dark cave, as it stabbed the ground.

It was coming out with a loud growl and about to follow the scent of the ponies, which they are in the house of knights.


Back in the library, Ember, Arthur, Shooting Star, Jasmine and Filbert were looking at the bright blue book that Arthur found that looks interesting and let Ember do the reading and search. Since see knows about books while as a student for magic and leaving with her mother at The Heaven Leaf Library.

Then she found something that is so incredibly and exciting.

"Look at this." She said. "This page tell about the first stallion knight of mystical aura and he was the founder and maker of the aura stone."

"The what!?" Shooting Star confused.

"The aura stone." Ember repeated and began to read the legends of the stone. "The aura stone is a mystical gemstone with amazing powers. It can read through any willpower and emotions on those who can hold it and give extra boost of power that no pony has ever seen before.

"It was made by the first stallion knight who was a unicorn and with the mystical powers of aura. He once connected to its powers and added to his sword that can use in battle. To make it stronger and able to cut throw and ageist those with bad will."

They see the picture of the aura stone. It was a round bright blue orb, with burning starlight in the centre.

Arthur believed that he seen the stone's light in his dreams. He remember it was so powerful that he can feel like reaching it.

"That sounds incredible." Jasmine stemmed as she listened.

"And quite rare and powerful." Added Filbert.

"What else does it say?" ask Shooting Star.

"The aura stone has been the treasure to the stallion knights for generations and secret of the one family of the great knights," Ember went on until she reads the name of the family. "The Caliburns."

Which is a shook to Arthur and the three ponies.

"It can passed on to one stallion knight to the other and become its master and keeper. If he master the powers of aura that is both might and magic and be one with the stone.

"Once the stone's powers is unleash," Ember continued, "be use in battle ageist evil with bad will and make the knight unbeatable with powerful magic."

"I think this is way I have to come back here." Said Arthur with a thought. "I have to seek out the aura stone and to succeed my purpose."

"What purpose is that?" ask Jasmine.

"To be powerful knight of magic, combats and aura and take my rightful place. Maybe from here…if my feeling were telling me."

"Dose your father or anypony told you about the stone?" ask Filbert. "And where is hidden?"

"No really. They say I'm not ready to learn the secrets of what they were guarding."

"So how can we find the stone?" Shooting Star inquired. "It could be anywhere, maybe in this castle."

"Not in this castle." Said Ember studying the book. "There a secret cave nearby. Just outside of the house of knight and next to a great rock.

"And look there's a map that can take us there and it not too far from here."

"And that's where the aura stone is kept." Jasmine added. "Right?"

"I bet so. Let's pick up our friends and…"

"Wait a moment." Arthur interrupted as feel thumping from the floor and hear noises.

"What is it?" ask Filbert.

Arthur use his powers to sense a present and with widen eyes with fear.

"I sense danger," he stemmed, "and it's coming this way."

Ember sense it too and she has a bad feeling of what will happen to her other friends.


Buttons was just done with the tapestry, she look at it that and find it looking great.

"Will now that you're done Buttons." Melody suggested. "We should find the others."

"I think you're right Melody." Sweet Stuff agree and got bored. "I've seen enough of this castle."

"O.K then." Said Buttons and putting her sewing kit away. "Let's find Ember and the other."

When they just about heading to the hall where the great stairs are. They heard some coming from outside and notice the castle shook with some strange thud.

"What was that?" Buttons wonder as she feels nervous. She also had a feeling that she made a mistake of being with Ember and the other.

Then Sweet Stuff smell something, that it smell very strange. "Do you girls smell something?" she ask.

Melody and Buttons smell it too, it smells of brimstone. Then they hear a moaning growl, which made them haggle together with terror and wondering what will happen.

All though one of them couldn't wait, Buttons went slowly of the hole leavening her two friends to wait. She now getting bold, but she was a little nervous as she keep low. She need to look outside of the house of knights, but instead she look through the broken windows.

She seen nothing outside and sighed to relax of there was nothing to be afraid of. But she thought too soon, when she hears the sound of moaning and growling again and this time it even louder.

Then a loud thump. Just outside on the castle ground was a big foot with claws and just over the castle wall was a big creature with scales that are dark bronze and black markings and spikes that are thick as stones and colour black. With large wings and a long tail. And the head of the beast had two horns, one long one on the right and a broken half one of the left. It has big burning eyes and huge white teeth.

As Buttons shared in fear and weakness to seeing the one monster that might have destroy Arthur's home and have it in ruins.

What she weakness, the creature of destruction and with a dark soul as he came over the stone walls and come slowly to the house of knights.

A dragon.


Dunn Dunn Dunnnnn.

This remind me of Smug in the hobbit, when he sniff and grin. And when he rampage the dwarfs' kingdom.

I'm also a big fan of dragons, even Spyro the dragon.
