//------------------------------// // ACT THREE // Story: The Five Souls // by KyoKyoSanPony //------------------------------// “What is going on, Twilight?!” Spike yelled, his heart racing. Twilight shook her head in disbelief as to what she just witnessed. Did this mean that she was the fate of Equestria now? Why did a spirit haunt her village? What did it want?! The sky seemed to be slightly tinted gray. The sun’s brightness seemed to dim, too. How peculiar. Twilight teleported herself and her young assistant to her castle's library. She counted the books. Something was missing; there were only 1,200,499 books. “I should go check up on Applejack and her family… after all, Granny Smith is quite wise when it comes to mysterious things.” The purple alicorn spoke, heading out of the library. “Wait up!” Spike called, running to his master. “No, you stay here. I don't want you to see something you’ll regret.” Twilight refused to let Spike come.
