Symph walked through the hallways of the castle with his hands behind his back while whistling a happy tune to himself, ready to start working around the castle. As he walked his grew multiple black arms that streched out to either dust off a small area or tilt a painting so that it was sitting perfectly. He did all of this with a smile as he slowly walked around, having a wall of streched out black limbs behind him as he looked around.

He would do a sweep of the halls before focusing on the rooms. As he was about to turn a corner he spotted something white out of the corner of his eye. Looking back down the hall he saw a white bunny rabbit hopping down the crystal floor. He rolled his eyes and folded his arms, sending a tendril after the small rabbit.

As the black appendage reached the bunny it spilt up and formed a small black cage around it. Retracting the tendril with the captured bunny Symph looked through the tiny bars. "Angel Bunny I presume?"

The bunny looked at him in fear for a moment.

"Relax, I don't eat bunnies or any type on animal. I work for Twilight."

This calmed the bunny for the most part, but still found the strange and unfamiliar look of Symph scary. He then began tapping the bars of the cage impatiently.

"Sorry little buddy, but you're staying in there until Miss Fluttershy comes for you, I don't need you causing trouble on my first day."

Angel glared at him and tried biting through the bars, but came up short.

"Gonna take a lot more than that to break outta my material, so you'd best make yourself comfortable." Symph chuckled as Angel tried every method he could think of to escape his cage. "You're staying with me until I can return you to your caretaker, so it would make things easier on both myself on you if you just stopped struggling, it's a waste of energy." Symph was ignored as Angel continued to try to free himself. "Or you could just ignore me. Have it your way then."

Symph turned away and began walking around a corner to his next area in need of a sweep, the cage dangling just behind him as he went, Angel eventually gave up and sat down in a huff.

"That's better." Symph said softly before growing more limbs and continuing his cleaning.

Some time later

Twilight and her friends were walking towards the castle, her friends offering to help organise the library and the newly delivered crates of books sent by Princess Celestia. Twilight had been telling the mares following her about her new assistant, her doubts and what good was coming from the situation. While the group raised a brow at her trust issue, they agreed to discuss that at a later date. At that moment the mares had one thing in mind, meet the strange new creature.

"So Twilight, where did ya find this 'Symph' anyway?" Applejack asked with curiosity.

"I...well, he found me when I was walking through the Everfree trying to clear my mind, he just showed up and offered to be my assistant." Twilight explained.

Applejack raised a brow. "Why do ya think he wanted ta be yer assistant anyways?"

"He said something about a drive to help others. I think it's just what he wants to do, help others, and he acts as if it's his goal in life." Twilight replied.

The mares looked to each other in confusion. "Well, I for one think that dedicating your life to helping others is a very generous path to follow." Rarity stated with a smile.

Twilight and the others looked to each other and then to Rarity. "You think so?"

"Why of course darling. Anyone who wishes to dedicate their lives for the benefit of others either has to be very kind or extremely generous. So I am looking forward to meeting this new friend of yours Twilight." The fashionista answered with a soft smile. "Now come on, we don't have all day, let's pick up the pace."

The group nodded and began walking at a faster pace towards the castle of friendship.

Once inside the castle the group made their way to the library. Upon opening the large doors to the huge library they stopped as they saw multiple black lines around the large room, black arms placing books on shelves or moving books to their right place if they were misplaced. Looking down to where the lines see,ed to be coming from they saw Symph by a desk marking off books from the delivered crates, once he did he grabbed the book with a tendril and streched it up to its rightful place.

Seeing them out of the corner of his eye Symph smiled and began retracting his limbs that were growing out of his back begore walking over to the group, the caged bunny still behind him. "Ah, hello there everyone." He greeted politely.

The group, apart from Twilight and Fluttershy who was looking at him in interest, stared at him in confusion while trying to figure out what he was. Figuring that he would not be able to get them out of that state he turned to Fluttershy with a soft smile.

"Miss Fluttershy, I believe this little troublemaker belongs to you." He said gently in a soft, welcoming voice as he retracted the small cage and placed Angel in his hand before handing him over to his slave caretaker.

As Fluttershy began to scold Angel for running off Symph turned his attention to Twilight. "So Twilight, how was your day?" He asked with genuine interest.

Twilight waved her hoof dismissively. "That's not important right now, we can talk about our days later." She began looking around the now orginised and restocked library. "You sorted all of this out on your own?"

"Well I did have some assistance from Miss Glimmer, but other than that yes. Although it was mostly organised to begin with, just a few groups of books either in the wrong sections or were not in the correct alphabetical order, so while I was organising your new books I decided to organise the rest of them as well." Symph said with a smile.

"And that didn't bother you or put you to the point of exhaustion?"

Symph looked a way slightly for a second. "Well it has made me a bit tired actually, but nothing along the lines of exhaustion." Symph reassured the alicorn before letting out a small yawn.

"Well...you've done enough for today, I think you should really rest up for awhile." Twilight suggested with concern.

Symph's eyes began to feel heavy. "Yeah...maybe you're right." His body became black and he fused into Twilights body, causing the group to look at the mare in shock.

"I'll explain it to you over dinner, right now I'm really hungry." The group gave reluctant nods before following Twilight to the kitchen, all the while Symph was restoring his lost energy by taking the unused energy from Twilights body.

Author's Notes:

There will be more interactions between Symph and the mane six, don't worry.
