My Little Pony: The Medicine of Friendship

Chapter 4

Zecora

Twilight had left Canterlot Castle and she was on the Friendship Express on her way back to Ponyville, she knew one pony who might be able to find a way to cure Neo's virus, and that pony was Zecora. Zecora was a zebra that lived in the Everfree Forest which was right behind Ponyville. Zecora was known for making many medicine potions made from plants and she originally lived in a faraway land in a zebra tribe before she came to the Everfree Forest. Twilight thought she might be the only pony who could help cure Neo's virus, and now she had to find a cure a lot faster because Spike had caught the virus from Neo and was in the same condition as Neo for now. Twilight had the Mission to Zebulon book with her, she thought Zecora might need to look at the book to find a cure.

When the train got to Ponyville, Twilight quickly galloped as fast as she could to the Everfree Forest, but she had to be careful of the strange creatures that live in the forest. When Twilight reached the forest, she galloped through the forest as fast as she could, hoping that she won't encounter any strange creatures. Twilight made it to Zecora's hut within 10 minutes, she gently knocked on the door but the door opened on it's own.

Twilight went inside and saw Zecora mixing liquid, Zecora greeted Twilight and asked what she could do for her. Twilight told Zecora all about Neo's virus, she mentioned his symptoms, his fall down the stairs, and other things. Zecora thought it was very intriguing, but she knew how serious it was. Twilight even mentioned that when Doctor Horse examined a blood sample from Neo, he couldn't find any sign of infection in his blood. Zecora thought that was very strange, but then Twilight showed Zecora the book Neo was reading, Zecora read the description on the back of the book, she could see that the symptoms in the book were exactly the same symptoms that Neo had, Zecora took a good look at the book as if she thought it looked familiar.

Then she said that the book is cursed, Twilight was shocked by what Zecora just said, Zecora explained that the book had a curse on it, she said that whoever reads this book becomes infected with the virus that the book is about. Twilight couldn't believe it, she asked if the virus could be cured, Zecora said there was no way she could know there is a cure without looking through the book, but if she looks through the book, she will get infected just like Neo. Zecora hated to say it, but she said that Twilight would have to find a cure on her own, she should have Neo read the end and see if there was ever a cure in the book and if there is, hope that it will cure Neo's virus. Zecora wished Twilight all the luck in Equestria and hopes that Neo will be cured of his virus. Twilight thanked Zecora and left her hut. Zecora watched Twilight disappear in the distance, she closed her eyes and prayed that Neo will get better. Then Twilight got out of the Everfree Forest and went back to get on the Friendship Express to get back to Canterlot Castle.
