The librarians and the cat of life

by Dragon Shimmer


Being disturbed

Blue Bed steps out of the train station. The stallion is heading to the hospital and sees two dragons and a unicorn are talking together. Blue Bed shakes his head and continues the way to hospital.

The hospital is quite small, compared to the Canterlot one. The blue stallion goes inside the hospital to meet the parson, Dr. Slime.

The old stallion looks at him. "Ah... I heard you will come here, but... that is quite late."

"Sorry. Canterlot has many emergencies these days, so I come late."

Slime nods. "That's okay, lucky that one of our doctors has to visit his mom. I can't push the other doctor to the job."

"I'm fine with that."

Slime nods. "Good. Our nurse will lead you to your room."

A knock on the door interrupts them. Redheart comes inside with a medical record. "Doc, we have another patient that needs to operate."

"Oh..." the old stallion looks at the Blue Bed. "I think you will make this operation."

The blue stallion looks at Redheart for a while, then he shakes his head, stands up and leaves the room with Redheart. The white pony leads him to a room that has the patient.

Blue Bed looks at the patient. "Hmmm... this is like a heart problem, right?"

"You're right. This one has a 'heart failure' problem." Redheart gives him the medical report. "You should read this one first."

Blue Bed takes it and sees the report is very good. The stallion asks. "Who wrote this report?"

"It's me." Redheart smiles. "My name is Redheart. I'm a nurse in here."

Blue Bell looks at her suspiciously, then introduces himself. "My name is Blue Bell, you can call me Dr. Bell. Anyway, we should make an operation."

"The problem is... there are only two nurses today."

Blue Bell smiles. "That's fine. I need only you to help me."

"Oh... " Redheart giggles. "How good are you?"

"You wanna bet? If I do this operation successfully, you will go out with me."

"And if you fail?"

"I won't disturb you at work."

"Nice." Redheart leaves the room. "I will talk to Dr. Slime for the operation. See ya."

Blue Bell watches the white pony and smiles. The white mare is nice to him. Now, he has an operation to do.


Calendar is sitting on the sofa in her home with the Calico cat on her hooves. The mare rubs her fur and feels so good. Amelia comes out from the kitchen with some cookies.

Amelia lands on the sofa. "At least she likes you now. Lucky that I explained to her about what you were doing. But next time, don't do this."

The cat purrs in the Calendar's hooves. The mare sighs. "Fine. I won't do that again." Calendar rubs her face on its back, but it slaps her and jumps away. The mare sighs. "Anyway, you are a cat, right?"

"Yeah, but I don't want you to rub me." Amelia is playing her whisker. "Because you come here for something, right?"

"Fine. Just come here to find the orange unicorn in that competition. I want to hire her." Calendar taps her hoof. "To work for me."

Amelia sips some coffee. "Then you will be disappointed. That unicorn is a dragon and she lives in the library." Calendar laughs out loud. Amelia sighs. "Wow, you don't believe me?"

Calendar pats Amelia's head. "Except she is a changeling, I can believe. You are really good at comedy."

Amelia sighs and drags the mare out of the house, but the mare holds the door. "Let me show you the proof."

"No. I hate dragons." Calendar tries to hold the door. "I fainted last time when I saw a dragon in Saddle Abaria."

Amelia yanks her out of the room and drags the mare along the road. The magenta mare gumbles and stands up. She follows the white cat to the library.


Amelia knocks on the door. Calendar feels nervous when she has to meet the dragons. The doors open and the duo sees the orange dragon have something red on her mouth. Calendar looks at Sunset as the orange dragon grins at her, then the magenta mare faints.

Amelia looks at the orange dragon. "What is this red on your mouth? You made this mare faint."

"Sorry, Twilight is playing with tomatoes and it splats into my mouth." Sunset looks at the magenta mare. "Oh, is this Calendar? Why is she here?"

"She will live in Ponyville, and she thought that you have blood on your mouth so... "

"I see." Sunset takes the mare in. "Why do I have to do this?"

Amelia smiles. "I don't know but... your body is shining."

"Yeah. Spike has the same too." Sunset puts the mare down. "Can you stay here for a while to take care of her? I have to go to Dragonland right now."

Twilight nods. "Good luck. I'll have to participate in Pinkie's birthday party tomorrow."

"Just don't let her know." Sunset steps on the magic circle. "Let's go"

Spike walks inside the magic circle and teleports to Dragonland. Twilight rubs her head. "Did they forget that the magic circle failed?"

Amelia giggles. "Well, another rolling from head to bottom"


In Dragonland, many dragons are practicing flying and fighting. Ember is grabbing a spear and training with Garble. Garble grabs the spear and breaks it, causing the blue dragon to be surprised, then the red dragon puts his claw on her neck.

"Ah, I lost again." Ember sighs. "Well... I don't know how to be stronger, like my dad. "

Garble teases. "You can't be stronger than me. You are a dragoness after all."

"Oh really..." Ember turns to the gray dragon. "Hey dad, can you call Sunset here?" Garble waves his claw to reject but Ember continues. "This guy wants to take all the dragoness."

Torch laughs while Garble's face is blued. Garble shakes his head. "All right, I won't tease you like that."

"Speaking of Sunset, I haven't seen her for a while." Torch spins the Gauntlet of Fire. "I just want to meet her to train you."

"Dad... I don't need training from her." Retorts Ember. " And you know what she did with Spike, right?"

"I admit that slam is way brutal." Torch rubs her chin. "Anyway, let's keep training."

Torch stands up and wants to visit around but the dragons are stepping aside from something. He sees Sunset and Spike are going with him.

The orange dragon with red horns sees the gray dragon and complains. "What are you calling us for, Torch? We are not free at all."

"Call you?" Torch looks at his staff and shakes his head. "Eh no... I am not calling you."

"Weird." Spike rubs his chin. "Can I borrow your staff?"

Torch nods and tosses the staff to Spike. The dragon duo examine the staff and see nothing. Sunset sighs. "Maybe we just overreacted. This Gauntlet of Fire is fine. Anyway... since I am here for nothing. I just want to ask."

Torch takes the staff. "Oh... what is it?"

"How many types of dragons exist in this world? We saw the ice dragon in the dragon test."

"... since you two come from outside so I will tell you. Follow me."

Torch goes inside and the duo follows him. The trio comes to the throne room and Torch opens the secret cave. Inside the cave, there are four dragons in four pictures. Sunset and Spike looks at them and amazing with them

Torch starts to explain. "There are 4 main dragon types in this world. We have a fire dragon in the east, that's us." Torch points at the blue dragon picture. "Ice dragon in the north." Points at the western dragon. "Thunder dragon in the west." Points at the dragon don't have wings. "and earth dragon in the south."

"I see." Spike looks around. "But why do I only see the fire dragon?"

Torch silents for a while, then he takes a seat. "Because the dragons were already separated for several hundreds years ago, but I don't know the why they are seperated, and no way we can be "

"Just like the pony tribe." Spike looks at the ice dragon. "Pegasi, earth ponies and unicorns were seperated about 300 years until Celestia and Luna united them all."

"At least the ponies have leaders to unite them all. Not like us." Torch looks at the thunder dragon picture. "Three of us are already separated from this world. Only me tries to speak to them but..
I fail."

Sunset nods. "Hard to find them, right? At least you can talk with Celly so we know your existence."

"Yeah... if you two meet them, what will you do?"

"I don't know." Spike takes a seat. "But I will talk to them first."

Torch sighs in relief. "I like that. Those four ice dragons you met before are coming to their home."

"What a shame! I can track them." Sunset takes a seat. "I think you should fix your..."

Before finishing the sentence, the Gauntlet of Fire shines bright, then Spike and Twilight disappear, making the dragon lord surprised.

Torch yells. "Guard! Guard!" The guards run inside as the dragon lord commands. "Find Spike and Sunset right now. They are lost."

The guards are running out of the room to find the dragon duo. Torch taps his fingers and thinks about where this staff takes them to.


Amelia is reading a book about dragons. The white cat carried Calendar to her home. When she is reading, she feels so disappointed when dragons don't have as diversity as ponies.

Twilight goes inside and smiles. "Hey Amelia, how is going"

Amelia comments. "I thought dragons were as diverse as ponies."

Twilight explains. "Well, because ponies and dragons don't interact much with each other. The book you read is my research on dragons."

"Oh.. I see." Amelia rubs her chin and puts the book down. "Anyway, you have training today?" Twilight is frozen as Amelia sighs. "Should I drag you again?"

"Eh no..." Twilight rubs her head. "I will train for myself later."

"Ah..." Amelia levitates the book about World History. "At least you can be a book writer instead of practicing magic."

Twilight nods and sips the tea. "So, Amelia. What kind of cats are you? You are stronger than Sunset."

"Well... just a normal cat." Amelia opens the book. "Sunset is nearly at my strength though."

Twilight smiles. "So... Can I be as strong as her?"

"I don't know but if you stop training, you will never reach her."

Twilight sighs and forms a bear. "I don't know. Right now, I see Spike is over me about magic."

"I see." The white cat closes the book and walks to the training room. "Come. I have training for you. No excuse."

Twilight sighs and follows the white cat. When the duo stands side by side with each other on the water. Amelia snaps her fingers and the water is rising. Twilight feels a great pressure from this.

The water stops and Twilight looks up. She sees a big wolf glaring at her. "Fe...Fenrir?

"Oh, this world has Fenrir? I am surprised." Amelia pats Twilight's back. "Now, you have to defeat this dog."

"HOW...." the fenrir lashes Twilight's back as she grunts. The fenrir leaps to Twilight as the purple unicorn teleport, then the wolf sways its tail and hits Twilight directly, causing her to be slammed into the wall and coughs blood.

Twilight tries to blast the fenrir but it appears behind her and slashes her. Twilight lies down and breathes heavily. Blood is dripping on her back. "You...you tries to kill me?"

"Kill you?" Amelia's paw is shining green and her wound is completely healed. "I just want you to suffer. In pain." Twilight gulps and looks at the fenrir. Amelia adds. "Don't worry, it won't try to kill you, but it will make you lost your blood a lot."

Amelia laughs evilly. Twilight stands up and her horns and hooves is shining bright, then she charges at the fenrir.
