> Twilight:Past the End > by RagingBrony19983 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was on my way home to the library. As I was entering I saw a strange package in front of the door. I opened it and inside was a book called Your Life. I found it suspicious but didn't think anything of it. Then as I lifted it and was about to put it on the correct shelf a letter slipped out. I opened it immediately and it said; Dear Twilight, If you're reading this. You have gotten the book I wrote about you. You'll find it intriguing Love, Anonymous That's all it said so I picked it back up and decided why not read it. I opened it to the first page and read through the most of the chapters and had finished part 2 out of 4. I flipped the page to part 3 and inside it was titled "Part 3: The future" I continued to read on. Of course the future hadn't happened yet. The book never stated anything about me reading it. I thought it was crazy and decided it wasn't true and I should've set it down but I continued to read on. It told me about things including my friends. Then there was "Part 4:The death". "I need to stop reading this now" I thought out loud. It spoke of fires and dangers and unspeakable things. It stated "In your death you will see, everything that is around you will deceive, the lies, the broken ties, watch out for strangers, there will be many dangers." It made no sense some of it didn't even go together. Oh i'm just tired let me go to bed and escape my mind. But a thought struck me that rhyming sounds like something Zecora would say. But I passed it off because hers always make sense. In the book on Part 1: The Beginning was talked about my birth and how I grew up. The second part, "Part 2:The adventure" was my journey to ponyville and how I became Rarity's, Applejack's, Pinkie Pie's, Rainbow Dash's, and Fluttershy's friend. It was all normal then but when it came to Part 3 it started becoming hard to decipher becoming more riddleish but without the riddles. It didn't say much at all really. Most of it was all about my normal life. A lot of sentences consisted of this, "Wake up. Study sleep." The only thing that I could think of was that it was saying my life was going to stay in this endless loop of only reverting to that day in and day out. Now we come to Part 4: The death now this it was one simple page that said the library catches on fire as I'm forced out of my home strange things are to blame for the fire then the riddle. I don't understand. I'm going to sleep it off. In the morning Owloysius woke me and whooed at me with his big eyes. I looked at the book and threw it in the trash. I was all bullshit to me. I went out to look for Zecora and when I got to her hut she wasn't in there . I decided to do a little investigating and looked in all her books and journals but found nothing about me or the phrase in the book. Zecora walked in and didn't seem to notice me. I didn't want her knowing I was snooping around in there so I snuck out before she saw me. As soon as I was outside I let my breath out. That was so close at least I know it's not Zecora. How could I even question Zecora? One of my friends, but I had to, I guess. What is wrong with me. This is going too far and I have a feeing it's gonna go deeper. > Chapter 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- As I was walking through Sugar Cube Corner on my way home. There was a small crowd around a new pony. I squeezed my way through and Pinkie Pie with a cheery voice she said, "Twilight meet Eris. She's the new pony in town. Now don't be a stranger." The word stranger triggered the phrase, "watch out for strangers.." The thought reverberated through my whole brain making me turn and run as fast as possible not home it's too hard to go back there. I ran to Apple Jack's house she was the only one not in the crowd around Eris. But I stopped short. What has gotten into me? The book isn't even real. Why was I running. I turned back to go meet this new pony Eris. When I was back at Sugar Cube Corner I saw her and went to introduce myself. "Hello Eris," I started, "I'm Twilight and.. oh I see your a unicorn like me. That's cool. My special talent is Magic. What's yours?" She replied," Well as you know my name is Eris and my special talent is taking care of everypony." There was something wrong with her voice it sounded like a snake's hiss and there was a certain rattling to her voice. No, I was going to stay. I already embarrassed her once by running away I wasn't going to do it to her a second time. "That's cool. I'll be sure to come to you if I get hurt." I tried to say honestly. "Well, I would love to take care of you." She said with a certain sarcasm to her voice. Then Pinkie Pie interrupted with the phrase everypony was waiting for, " This calls for a party." We all traveled into the shop and had punch. I didn't know what to do so I helped serve refreshments. Then Eris walked up to get a drink. "Oh look it's the help just a worthless pony." Eris said. I couldn't help but get angry and as she was filling her cup I knocked it over and it spilled throughout her mane. Her face turned bright red. She said with rage, "HOW DARE YOU? YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!" Then her horn lit up with her working on a spell and the whole room just went into a giant blur a second later everyone started acting weird and she acted like nothing had happened. She looked back at me as she trotted away and whispered something in Pinkie's ear then left. What just happened? After that everyone just immediately left it was just me and Pinkie. I decided to stay and help clean up. > Chapter 3 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I had just finished helping clean after Eris the new pony's welcoming party. I turned to Pinkie when I noticed her mane had turned White, and it was straight! I was immediately freaked and went to tell her I was going to go now. When she suddenly turned and looked at me with one of her eyes was completely blank despite my fear I stayed to see what she had to say. With her voice sounding robotic she said, "Where are you going,stay for the party. Welcome Eris the new pony." I was stunned and replied with, "Pinkie Pie darling are you feeling okay? The party is over. I'm the only one left here." "Oh then why don't you be a dear and help clean up, and there is nothing wrong. I feel fine."She replied. I started getting wearier and said," I already cleaned up. I was just saying I was going to head home." That's when her eye shot back in to place, her mane went curly and pink, and she looked normal but only for a moment. She started yelling my name over and over. I pulled her into my arms and tried to comfort her by saying, "I'm here Pinkie. I'm here and i'll always be here." That's when she looked at me and said," TWILIGHT, Er- Er- Eris did this. HELP! PLEASE HELP ME!" Her eye went blank again her mane went back to white and straight and her voice resumed it's mere monotone. She looked up at me with her one eye pleading. PLEADING FOR WHAT? I held her in my arms for awhile until her other eye went blank and she slept. I got up quietly and went home. What has happened to Pinkie Pie? I continuously thought about the book on my way home all it's parts when I realized I couldn't remember part 3:The future. My mind was completely blank of it. I ran home picked the book out the trash and opened it to part 3 but as I frantically flipped the pages they were all blank. What did it say? Why is this happening? I called Spike down to write an urgent letter to Celestia. After he sent it I got an immediate reply. The only thing she said was stop worrying. That's all. "THAT'S ALL. DON'T WORRY. HOW AM I NOT SUPPOSED TO WORRY. MY FRIEND PINKIE COULD POSSIBLY BE DYING. I RECEIVE A MYSTERIOUS BOOK ABOUT MY LIFE THAT IS GOING BLANK AND I CAN'T EVEN REMEMBER. IT TELLS ME I'M GOING TO DIE AND I'M NOT ALLOWED TO WORRY!" I yelled as Spike walked up the steps. Oh not him too. Yes his scales were turning white. Just what I needed at a time like this. I need answers and I needed them now. I stayed up all night reading book after book and nothing warned about this. Every history book doesn't speak of this. Maybe the ponies it all happened to never lived so they couldn't tell the story. I ran to Zecora's hut. I don't care if I suspected her. I needed her help. As soon as I got through the door she was there mixing a potion. She didn't look weird her eyes weren't blank so I relaxed a little enough to talk. "Oh, Zecora I need your help." "Tell me dear, what is causing your fear." She replied. I then explained to her from the moment I got the book up until now. I even told her about me sneaking into her hut and suspecting her. > Chapter 4 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "The answer you seek, isn't very weak, it will change your fate, but first you must stop the hate." Zecora replied to my story. I didn't reply just merely nodded my head and started back towards the library. She must mean to stop all the hate between me and Eris that has to be it. It has to be a strong answer since it say the answer isn't very weak. I hope what she meant by it will change my fate that I won't die but a pony can only hope. I breathed out a large sigh as I entered my home and felt as my back dragged against the wall as it slumped that the depression this was pulling me into pulling me further down. I must work fast before the depression makes me not want to get up anymore. I went to Eris's house near the Everfree forest. I knocked faintly on the door and waited for a answer. Just when I was about to turn and go home she appeared at the door. "Oh, Eris I just wanted to talk to you about the party." I started off. She had a towel wrapped around her mane and tail. She said," Oh you came at a perfect time I just finished washing out the punch that was through my mane ad tail. I said back to her trying to be apologetic, "Listen i'm really sorry about that. I was passing out punch because well. I wanted to help and make you feel more welcome." She again replied with her harsh sarcastic voice,"You sure wanted to help with you spilling punch through my hair." I tried once more to reason with her,"Listen, I said I was sorry either you can accept it or be mean and rude like you are right now. If you continue to act like that you may not have many friends." This enraged her. She immediately replied," HOW DARE YOU TELL ME I WON'T HAVE ANY FRIENDS. WELL IF YOU SAY I ON'T HAVE ANY THAN EITHER CAN YOU!" Then her horn lit up again with the odd color it did right before pinkie started acting weird. Then she went to turn back into her house and shut the door so I stopped it with my hove. She turned and again her horn lit up with the strange color. My body became instantly cold and I started shivering violently my whole body shaking s I slumped closer to the ground I could see the ground around me faintly as my vision whitened out and it was shaking harder than me. As I got closer to the ground the shaking shook my body harder and harder. Rattling me. I felt like I was about to throw up if I took anymore. Then I felt a white hot intense pain rise up in my chest and burst. The sound of my heart thrummed against my ears as I felt like my body was going to split in two. My throat gt tighter and tighter and it felt like the world was coming down on me all crashing. I tried to roll over but the shaking was still controlling me and I watched as everypony that passed paid no attention to me. I tried to scream for help but it only made my throat tighter and when I thought I might just spend the rest of my life like this my whole vision whitened blocking the world around me. My heartbeat took over any hearing possible that my ears could do. Anytime I tried to move the shaking got harder to the point I couldn't even try to move. I felt the effects of me not being able to breathe as I slipped into unconsciousness. Bout I tried to hold on to anything. Who knows what would happen if I went unconscious now, but the feeling was stronger than I was and I couldn't help it. > Chapter 5 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I awoke in a hospital. My throat had a strange feeling to it and I felt restraints on me. Dr.Whooves entered the room just then. He seemed surprised to see me awake. He said,"Well you took quite a fall yesterday. Do you remember what happened?" I tried my best to remember but couldn't I said,"No, I don't remember how long was I asleep? What happened?" After I said I didn't remember he seemed relieved. When he replied he seemed happier. He said, "Oh you just fell down the stairs when you were carrying a lot of books and couldn't see. Let me just check your heart rate." When he walked past and turned the slightest I saw one of his eyes were white. Oh no. Suddenly me knocking on Eris's door. Her getting mad. I remember it all and as soon as I remembered I got up and ran out of the hospital as fast as I could. I flew past the nurses and slipped through the security pony's hooves. I ripped the night gown and bracelet off and ran to Pinkie's to see if she had got any better. I hadn't seen any of my friends since the party. When I was a bit closer to Sugar cube Corner I calmed down a little and slowed to trot. I had made it to Pinkie's house. I knocked loudly not knowing if she could hear it if she was still in her trance. She came to the door all white, eyes white, mane and tail straight, and she seemed hurt. She won't talk at all she just nodded her head for me to come in. She motioned for me to follow her so I did. When we were in the kitchen she turned one of the burners on and put her hoof in it. I said,"Pinkie WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Then I saw why she did it immediately her coat, mane , and tail went instantly pink. She said sounding so sad,"It's the only way I can snap out of the trance. Twilight, what has happened since the party? Why do you bandages all over you? Are you okay?" I tried calming her, "I'm fine Eris did this but if were going to fix this problem that has been plaguing ponyville we're going to have to do it fat okay. Now if you can stay out of the trance long enough I want you to explain everything to me that happened. Okay?" She did seem to calm a bit," Okay, first when she first came to ponyville she immediately started bossing everypony around. Telling them to take her bags to the house. To get her some water. Also to go buy her gifts for being a new pony. But by the time you came was about an hour after she had arrived everypony was crowded around waiting for her next order she had already put them in a trance almost everypony had a patch of white on them from being under the trance. me and you were the only ones without it. I don't know why she spared me she did say she liked my cupcakes the best. But then we had the party and you spilled the drink and she started the spell to put somepony under a trance and that's when I could feel my body start to shake and tremble and my vision whitened on one eye. Then she whispered in my ear you will suffer because you're ignorant friend and she ran out and the rest you know." I was in utter and complete shock why was Eris doing this? Is it really because of me? > Chapter 6 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- These are the things I've figured out so far. 1. Eris hates me. 2. She wants to get rid of me. 3.She's messing with my friends and 4. No one messes with my friends. I said, " Oh Pinkie maybe you should stay with me for a while and see if I can help find a cure." She seemed cautious, "Are you sure? What if Eris finds out?" I insisted,"Oh of course I want to help you and so what if Eris finds out." She said,"OK." I said,"But first I have to go check on applejack I haven't seen her since this pony Eris has arrived." We walked in silence to Applejack's she was still quiet but hasn't gone back into the trance yet her burn did look bad so I attached some ice to it before we left. We made it to Sweet Apple Acres before Pinkie snapped back. Maybe the ice is keeping her out of the trance. I'll make a note of that. Apple Jack was out in the orchard. Our joy of knowing a.j didn't last long she was shaking now and starting to pass out. Me and Pinkie ran to her. I said, "A.J. what happened?" She tried to say, 'Twilight is that you? Discord and Eris were here. Eris said I would su-su-suff..." That's all she got to say before she passed out. Pinkie turned and looked at me. She said frantically, "We have to take her with us. She has to stay with us, too." Me and Pinkie carried Apple Jack back back to the library and I sat her on the guest bed upstairs and put a cold rag on her which woke her up but of course one of her eyes were white. I put a pack of ice against her and it immediately snapped her out of it. Pinkie exclaimed, "So ice and fire snaps ponies out of it. This is great! We have to give it to everypony." I ran over to Spike and put a ice pack on him and he snapped out of it. I went back over to Apple Jack. I said, "Apple Jack how are you feeling? What did you mean by Discord." She seemed tired but answered anyway,"Oh they came to Sweet Apple Acres and Eris was laughing and said I would suffer. I knew she was the new pony but that was the first time I had met her. Discord he was with her but then the weirdest thing happened I couldn't really see but Eris turned into a discord creature." I was in shock, "Oh my god. Thank you Apple Jack." She smiled weakly then went back to sleep. If I was her i'd be sleeping, too. > Chapter 7 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I got Spike to write another letter to Celestia say I was coming to Canterlot. I was leaving Applejack and Pinkie behind. She sent a carriage right way and on the way there I decided I would check up on Discord. I arrived to welcome hooves of the princess. She said, "Oh, Twilight i'm so glad to see you." I said," Yeah but can I come see you in a little I want to check up on my friends and do some shopping." She was taken aback by this," Uh... sure." I ran off to the royal gardens where Discord's statue was supposed to be but he wasn't there. I ran back to Celestia. I frantically said,"Oh, Celestia Discord is lose again and this time he has a partner Eris who has found a way to disguise herself as a pony. She has been torturing me and my friends." She turned and looked at me angrily,"Oh have you. Follow me." I followed her through the deep twists and turns going farther and deeper than ever before through the castle. We got to a dark room.and she unlocked it with her horn. She said, " You go in first. Now that you're in there you will never come out this is where you will die and now that book oh that book that was just something me and discord whipped up. I was waiting for you to come and tell me this. Now we can finally rule Eguestria together. Me and my discord side by side with everypony as our slaves. Pinkie knew our plan but we erased her memory and made her a prime target now she will always be our slave." I said, "You can't do this!" She laughed maniacally, "Oh but I cando much more then that." Then she shut the door. I could hear her laughing all the way down the hall. Oh great. > The End > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm trapped in a room. I used my horn to light the room up. I sat there in silence and grew increasingly hungry. I guess I was really going to die in here. I thought long and hard about my life and everything I learned. The whole book started this if I hadn't picked it up non of this would've happened. But then I remembered the spell Celestia taught me to open the doors before she turned "bad" I put my horn in the hole and the door instantly lit up and opened. Aw yeah. I had remembered the path back to the entrance. But there was Celestia and Discord. I had to get past them. But I wasn't scared of them. I walked right out in front of them. I pulled my strongest voice together, "Oh, CELESTIA AND DISCORD I JUST LOVE YOUR PLAN. I LOVE HOW YOU HAVE BETRAYED ME. i LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT." There faces were in complete and utter shock. But I saw it. I knew it couldn't be true all of Celestia's tail was white. I knew she hadn't turned bad. I ran to the royal library with them chasing me I slammed the door shut and locked it. I immediately started my research. There it was the book of all spells know to pony. It said how to snap ponies out of any trance the spell travels all over Equestria. I immediately started on it. The ripple shook the whole castle and I looked out the window and watched all of Equestria ripple with it. It's all over I thought to myself. I opened the door and walked out but I still had the problem of Discord and Eris. I walked out and ran all the way back to Ponyville in the library. I got everyone to come. Once everyone was there I filled them in. Pinkie was still acting strange it must be because of what she went through. I began, "Did everyone bring their element necklaces?" They all nodded their heads. So I continued, "Good now we have to defeat 2 discord creatures now." We walked outside and called them to us they came to us. We defeated them. The End Hope you enjoyed > Past the End > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's been a week since all the chaos that consumed my life and all most destroyed me and my friends. Everything seemed like it had gone back to normal but Pinkie still acts weird. Her mane won't go curly anymore but she does kinda at happy at least. I sometimes find her walking aimless;y around the bakery not seeming happy at all. At least she isn't white anymore but I feel that there is something deeper than that going on. I do not trust the hospital so I took her to Zecora that through this I have also became very close to. As she had helped me more than any other pony. I called out as we entered, "Zecora we have another problem." But she wasn't in there. That's odd I remember telling her earlier when I came by i'd be here. I walked around maybe she was upstairs when I walked upstairs I peered in all the rooms and couldn't find her. I went to the last room and saw a note on the bed. It said she was leaving Ponyville and the Everfree forest behind forever. She wasn't returning. Here we go again is all I could think. I called out her name to no answer. I went downstairs to tell Pinkie only to find her missing , too. Maybe she had gone outside to calm herself. I walked out to go look for her. I called her and Zecora's name repeatedly but still couldn't find them. I returned to Ponyville still searching each step I took made me more frantic. I asked everypony but no pony seemed to know where they were. Just when you think everything is over. This has to come up. I ran to the library maybe they were there but they weren't . I looked all around downstairs and stood out half of the doorway of the library as the wind blew my mane wildly and I heard the evil laughter of Eris(The female Discord).
