Finally got time to make this one! Now this isn't proofread yet, so be sure to point out errors and inconsistencies. Enjoy!



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



The cold night air ran past me as I stare out the window. It’s almost a bitter reminder of Luna’s departure. I look up to the night sky. The stars no longer shone as bright, and some were gone entirely. Luna no longer cared for the beauty of the night, but rather its darkness. The moon completely black and didn’t allow for much nighttime light. 

I look down to Ponyville, which is difficult to see. The town center was lit up and there seemed to be some sort of gathering.
“What’s going on?” I said to myself aloud.
Just as those words left my mouth, I felt a large disperse of energy just like before. I look to the forest a little west of Ponyville. As before, blue energy seemed to emit over the trees. Just as before, it dispersed into random directions before fading away. A thought then crossed my mind. 
“Maybe the Library has a book about this. I just hope Twilight won’t bother me while I look.”
I quickly close my eyes and teleport back to the library.

I kept my eyes closed in case of Twilight acting strange still. There was silence.
“Huh?”
I peek slightly out of my left eye. It was blurred for a second before revealing an image. Twilight was still lying on the floor where I pushed her. I almost panic at the thought of her being dead. I rush over and look her over. From where I was standing, I could see her still breathing. 
“Oh thank the world!”
I sigh from relief and begin my search.

“Nothing”
I spent about an hour looking through book after book. I went through all the sections that related to what might be going on. I look at a big stack of books in front of me on the first floor table. I got angry looking at them. Not one answered my question. Out of instinct, I punched the stack. The books I hit flew back into the wall, while the ones above and below just fell to the ground. I rubbed my forehead and turned over to the stairs.
“Maybe Twilight kept some books up here.”

Once I reached the top of the stairs, I see Twilight still unconscious with a couple books surrounding her. I shook my head and turned away. Just before I finished turning, a book next to Twilight caught my eye. It was a big blue book with the inscription “Day of the Blue Paradox” on the spine.
“That has to be it!” I thought.
I began to walk over to pick it up. Twilight began to shift a little on the floor. I stopped in my place. She stopped right after.
“Uh oh. Better be quiet.”
I slowly snuck over to the book behind Twilight. She shifted almost every step I made. I got over to her and the book. I began to slowly reach down and grab it. Twilight didn’t move while I was grabbing it. I quickly swiped it and backed away. Twilight didn’t move. Quickly, I ran down the stairs to the table and placed the book down.

I sat down and immediately opened the book to the table of contents. I quickly turned it to the “About” page. The page read:


The day of the Blue Paradox.

It is said that harmony is how the world is held together. Without harmony, there would only be chaos. There is no speculation that this is true. However, in order for harmony to stay balanced, the chaos must show itself at some point or another. Now what is the Blue Paradox? It is the day Harmony is predicted to end. The world will be overrun with chaos that the earth will become unstable and in itself, collapse into itself.

“This could be bad.”
I turn the page to what it is caused by.


Causes of the Blue Paradox.

Now the reason is not known for the Blue Paradox. It is said that the legendary elder brother will return from his prison in the stars, but that is speculation. Even so, it could be true. (See The Legend of Elicas for more info)


I close the book.
“The Legend of Elicas?”
I look around the floor. I remember seeing that somewhere. I see it a few feet behind me. I reach over and bring it to the table. I open it and begin to read the opening.


The Legend of Elicas

In the earliest forms of Equestria, there lived two royal alicorns. The elder king Marrow, and the elder queen Kastria. Together, they created the everlasting bond which held the planet together. Harmony. The harmony was placed upon six separate gems to keep it from falling in the wrong hands. 

Eventually, the rulers decided to have children. The youngest named Luna, the older named Celestia, and finally the eldest son Elicas. These children were to learn of harmony and to keep Equestria safe. However, Elicas was not like Celestia or Luna. He saw what harmony was and it did not look correct through his eyes. He saw it as pure chaos. He knew from then on that harmony cannot exist without disorder and chaos.

Elicas thought that the separation of night and day was foolish and chaotic. With this in mind, he conjured a magic that would be unbreakable. The Elements of Order. In order for the Elements of Order to be finalized, he needed the power of the Elements of Harmony to seal them completely, and to eclipse the land in twilight… forever.

When his parents saw that he was corrupted, his kingship was taken away and his chances for his elements to be completed were gone. He did not take this well. He tried to take the Elements of Harmony by force. His parents guarded them and quickly trapped him. He was then imprisoned into the stars to be forever away from Equestria.

Marrow and Kastria, to ensure this never happened again, used the last of the magic and essence they had left and put it into the Elements of Harmony as well as them, to ensure the elements stay in absolute control. The responsibilities of the sun and the moon were left with the two daughters. Celestia and Luna. With these powers, they ensure that the sun and moon are separate and harmony is kept in the land.

~The End~


I closed the book. This made me think. 
“A third royal sibling? I guess that’s not too farfetched for this planet of talking horses.”
I stand back up and look up the stairs.
“That could also explain Twilights weird behavior.”
I turn and head up the stairs to Twilight. Whatever is going on, maybe she can recall what happened before she started acting strange.

I begin tapping her on the front shoulder.
“Hey! Get up!”
She shifted a little and moaned.
“Ow! My head!”
She turned over and looked me in the eyes. I prepared myself for her previous actions. She didn’t move a muscle as she looked at me with no emotion.
“Twilight? Is that you?”
She sat in silence.
“Twilight?” I moved in a little closer.
She began to yell.
“AHH!!! MONSTER!!!”
She jumped up and ran to her room up the secondary stairs. I just watched in shock at her display.
“What just happened?”
I got up and followed her up the stairs. She was under the covers shivering in fear.
“Twilight. It’s me. Assistant.”
She continued to cower under her covers. I slowly walked over to her bed side. I kneeled down beside the bed and began to pet the shivering lump.
“Hey, I’m not a monster. I’m your friend.”
The lump stopped shivering a little bit.
“R-really?” Twilight asked in a timid voice.
“Yes. There is no reason to fear me. Come out and let’s get a look at you!”
She uncovered her head and looked up at me. She pulled a hoof out and slowly reached out to my chest. She reached it and began to feel my clothes.
“What are you?”
I got a little more confused.
“You don’t remember anything.”
She shook her head and removed the last of her covers. Then I noticed something.
“Hey. Where’s your cutie mark?”
She looked back at her flank.
“I haven’t gotten it yet. But I think it is going to be really cool!”
She looked back at me. My face must have been the most confused as it could get.
“How could she have forgotten everything including her talent from a simple push?”

There we go! Now if you didn't know already, Elicas comes from a video (this one) which is basically the explanation of who he is.
