My Little Pony: Legends of Equestria
Chapter 3: Chapter 3: Legend of the Dragon Knight
Previous Chapter Next Chapter"The Canterlot Library?! Out of all them wonderful and awesome places we could go to, we go to the library! You all are lame." Complained Scooter. He's never liked libraries, especially big classy ones like this. To him that just means extra boredom.
"This is the reason we came to Canterlot in the first place, so deal with in and SHUT UP!" I commanded.
"I hope she's still here. She came from Ponyville at short notice and might have been a bit too stressed." Said Steelwing.
"Hold on, she's from Ponyville too?" I asked.
"Yes, and what do you know, that's her right over there!" He pointed towards a young, studious purple unicorn, paying her undivided attention to a book she has on her hooves. Next to her stood a small dragon.
"Twilight Sparkle, it's been such a long time since the last time I saw you!" said Steelwing, while possessing a big, friendly smile.
"Stee! Is that really you? My you've grown a lot since the last time we met." Said the unicorn.
"Likewise, but can I see that your study habits haven't changed a bit… and is that Spike?"
"Hi , it's a pleasure to see you again" said the dragon in a very polite manner. Wow, I thought to myself, a dragon with manners, that's not something you see every day.
"Umm… Stee? Who's that?" said the unicorn, pointing her hoof straight towards me.
"Oh, him, I forgot to introduce him to you. This is Crimson Jedediah Skye, the pony I told you about." Said Steelwing, introducing me. Then the unicorn trotted towards me and smiled.
"Nice to meet you, Crimson." She said.
"The pleasure is all mine, and please, call me Sonni." I replied in the friendliest way possible.
"Shall we get going, we have a lot of explaining to do." Suggested Steelwing.
Once we got inside the library, Twilight asked Spike to get a certain book in order to fully explain what Steelwing couldnt.
"Wheres Spike, he's been taking an awful lot of time looking for that book of yours, Twilight." Said Steelwing.
"I'll go check on him." I said, hoping to do something else than sit around in utter boredom.
"Found it!" yelled Spike, holding a bright, orange book entitled 'The Legend of the Dragon Knight'. I guess I don't have to go looking for him after all. Spike then brought the book to the table, "Here you go, Twilight."
"Thanks Spike. Alright, we've called you over to Canterlot because it seem Equestria is on the brink of destruction. Based on the legends," she said, opening the book and going straight towards a certain page with such confidence that it was obvious that she had read this before, "Near the end of time, evil will be awoken, but will be defeated by the Elements of Harmony. Thanks to me and my friends, we don't have to worry about that one. What we have to worry about are the lines that follow, which state that one day the Elements of Harmony will be destroyed by a greater evil than ever faced before." She paused for a moment, then went on. "There are some good news about this whole 'end of Equestria' thing. The legend says that a new set of elements will rise up, such elements that represent Equestria from even before the kingdom was even formed. These elements, called the Elementals will be led by the powerful Dragon Knight, the controller of the powerful element of fire. These powerful elements will unite with the Elements of Harmony, creating incredible power that will get rid of this terrible evil. "
"I don't understand, why am I here?" I asked. There isn't really anything an orphaned Pegasus could do to save the fate of Equestria.
"We have examined you're records, Crimson. You were chosen by Celestia herself to aid in this quest for the Dragon Knight." He paused for a second. "She hoof-picked Equestria's finest, wait until you meet the rest at the Royal Assembly"
