The Book of the Ages

Skies and Sparkle were taken to the medics after the whole 'Princess' fiasco, the villagers were more than happy to have their princess back and they could be at peace after 3,000 long years of slavery. Sparkle had been told by Solara that the Royal Archives had the book that would not give Sparkle her memories back, but also give her everything she needed to know about the Realm itself. Twilight Sparkle needed that book, (And because she had to read it for her love of reafing) she needed to know why she was only bits and pieces of her old life. Solara lead the way with Skies on her back, she knew that Sparkle wouldn't leave anypony behind, unless if it was herself.

The Royal Archives were heavily guarded just in any anypony thought of stealing the Princess's books, everypony now knew who their princess was, the guards didn't have to look at Sparkle to know who she was. The doors were opened in minutes, since Dawn Moon, the Head Guard, was with them. The doors opened to reveal the mother of rooms in the palace, the Archives themselves took up nearly half of the walls, tables and chairs were seen in various places in the massive room. There was a gate that blocked off half of the room, the Restricted Secession, that's where the rarest and most valuable books were placed and remained there until now.

Dawn opened the gate to the Restricted Secession, the book that this group of four were was just sitting on pedestal right in front of them. Sparkle knew they couldn't just grab the book,  she knew the rule of Traps and Threes, an alarm had been placed on the pedestal to protect the book.

"I don't like this... You two know the rule of Traps and Threes?" Sparkle asked the two ponies behind her, they nodded not fully understanding what she was getting at. "Some Traps always come in Threes, like this pedestal. It has only Three marking on it not four, which is this book is protected by the spell of Traps and Threes."

Solara and Dawn glancing at their Princess, then at the book.  They noticed the pattern on the pedestal that seemed to be pointing toward it.  "... you're right.  This just too obvious."

The three ponies circled from opposite sides of the room, looking over it.  Sparkle  paused after making one circuit, and glancing out the windows over the Diamond Kingdom. The shield flicked, and the black clouds were surrounding it, waiting for their moment to pounce.

"We've got to disable that spell on the book."

"But how?"

"Hey, Bright Eyes... Look there." Dawn said ponting to the diamond above the book, Dark Magic encasing the gem.

"Dark Magic... so, let's try this!"  Sparkle grinned, her horn sparking its normal color then brightening.  A bolt of white struck the gem, shifting its color. The Dark Magic left the gem, disabling the trap setting the book free, Sparkle grabbed in her magic. When she tried to open the book, she found it was locked.

The lock was special, it would only open to those who had designed this lock and if the speaker said the right words. While Fawn and Solara tried to find a place to lay Skies down, Sparkle had got the book to open, the key was her age; 3,500 years. She was older than Princess Celestia herself, but Sparkle knew why... She had lead the Diamond Ponies away from the Dragon Kingdom of ClawenScale, to find a safe place her people. They traveled for 11long months, finally reaching their destination the Diamond Fields.

The Diamond Fields stretched farther then their eyes could see, they in the southern end of the Fields,  where their home now stood. As the Diamond Princess, Crystal Amondra Night, Twilight Amondra Sparkle's original name, needed to keep her people protected. As she scanned the diamonds around her, she spotted what looked like a crown base just without the gem on it.  Using her magic to bring the crown to her face, the crown glowed as if it had found the only pony that could be trusted with it knowledge. Crystal was lifted off of the ground as crown placed itself on her head, she arose higher and higher into the air to the point the light around her was the only thing you could see. There was a bright flash, from the beneath the floating princess a kingdom grew from the ground, the Diamond Kingdom had been found at last. The flash died down as Crystal's hooves touched solid ground, her body glimmers and shined as if it was out of the diamonds around the ponies. Crystal had earned the title 'The Diamond Princess', as her ponies earned their title 'The Diamond Ponies', and that's how the Diamond Kingdom came to be.

Sparkle was speechless on that she had just read from the Book of Ages, she had found the Diamond Kingdom, saved her ponies from dragons, and had even earned her place in this world over 3,499 years ago. She had find the Diamond Crown, that is what kept the shield up the Diamond Ponies safe, and held the powers she once had all those years ago safely within itself.
