It was another beautiful morning in Ponyville as the sun shone down on the Library, wherein Princess Twilight and her faithful assistant Spike where having a small dispute.
"Spike, you put these books on the wrong shelf!"
"No I didn't! See! It says 'Non-fiction!'"
"But these are Daring Do books!"
"I know! And Daring Doo is real! Remember!"
"Oh yeah. . .well. . .that's supposed to be a secret! We can't have everypony knowing that Daring Do is real! These have to go back in-," Twilight stopped when she noticed a small flower shaped button behind the books she removed with her magic. It looked similar to the horseshoe shaped button Spike found during the Mirror Pool Incident, "Oooh, another button! Maybe it opens another compartment with another rare book inside it!" Twilight immediately pressed the button.
CLICK!
Twilight jumped in surprise when a loud rumbling sound came from the basement.
"What was that?" Spike said nervously.
"Let's check it out," Twilight said as she walked towards the basement door with Spike close behind.
After going down the stairs and reaching the bottom, the pair immediately noticed the hole that has opened up on the ground, revealing more stairs that led down to what appeared to be an ancient cave.
"I hope this isn't like the evil dark stairwell of terror in the Crystal Empire!" Spike said nervously.
"Relax, Spike. At least we can see the bottom from here," Twilight said as she walked down the short stair well. She lit up her horn an illuminated the cave around her. Etched on the walls were images of ponies having some kind of celebration. Going around the walls of the chamber was a long image of what appeared to be a parade, with a Princess-like figure sitting in the leading float. However, this "Princess" didn't appear to be an alicorn.
But they took in these ancient carvings with a glance, because nearly all their attention was captured by a marvelous flower that grew in the center of the cave, growing out of a pile of purple soil. The flower had a long green leafy stem, and it had 5 pinkish-purple petals with a hot pink center in the shape of a heart. What was most amazing about the flower was the way it sparkled.
"Wow. . .imagine if I gave Rarity a flower like that!" Spike said in amazement.
Twilight walked over to the floor and looked at it closely. "I've never seen a flower like this before!" she exclaimed. Using her magic, Twilight gently uprooted the flower and gave it a closer look. "I wonder what kind of magic it possesses."
Just then, the pile of purple soil began to tremble and shake violently.
"Twilight?" Spike said nervously.
Still holding the flower, Twilight backed away from the trembling purple soil. Suddenly, the pile exploded, sending dirt flying everywhere. Twilight brought up a magical shield to protect her, but clod of dirt scored direct hits on Spike.
The dragon spat out dirt and wiped his face, "Urrgh! That's just great!" he complained, but then he brightened up and said, "Oh well, another 7 hour bubble bath for me! Right Twi!? . . .Twi?"
Twilight was staring blankly, looking in front of her. Spike turned in the direction she was looking, and he gasped. Covered in the purple soil, was another dragon just about his size. He was a deep blue color, with an orange belly and ear fins. He also had a purple mohawk on his head. He opened his light blue eyes and looked up at Twilight and the flower in her telekinetic grip.
The dragon stood up and looked seriously at Twilight. "I am," he said in earnest, but then he raised an eyebrow and tapped his head with a claw, "Oh, wait, wait, wait. Um, I know this one. Don't tell me. . ."
Spike and Twilight stared at the confused dragon, who seemed to be gaining a headache.
"How did this guy get down here?" Spike asked.
"I don't know, Spike," Twilight replied.
The blue dragon's eyes suddenly lit up and he broke into a smile, "Aha! That's it! Spike!" To Twilight's shock, the dragon ran up to her and bowed down before her, "Kenbroth Gilspotten Heathspike. At your service, your Majesty!"
