Chapter 1: A Book from the sky
I realized the moment I fell into the fissure, that the book would not be destroyed as I had planned. It continued falling into that starry expanse, of which I had only a fleeting glimpse. I have tried to speculate where it might have landed, and I must admit however, such conjecture is futile. Still, questions about whose hooves might one day hold my Myst book are unsettling to me. I know my apprehensions might never be allayed... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written.

Twilight sparkle had never seen this book in her library before.
It sat on the table, the cover worn and beaten. 4 simple letters rested in black upon the cover:
M Y S T
The Elements of Harmony stood around the table, staring at the tome in question. All except for the Element of laughter, who was rapidly talking to her purple coated friend and town librarian Twilight.
“ … And that's when it hit me, strait from the sky, like BAM, well more like THUMP, but still I almost hit gummy, but he's strong and I knew he'd be OK, but really who throws books at ponies from the sky? But I took one look and thought “”Twilight would like this book!”” well I didn't open it but I thought you like books so you'd like this one but then I wondered if you had a copy of this one already and I sat there for what felt like forever, but it was really like 3 minutes but anyway . ”
The bubblegum pink mare was cut short by a sudden orange hoof pressing her mouth closed. “Calm down there sugar. Books don't just fall from sky, yah hear. It's just not reasonable”
“But Applejack, I swear, it came from the sky! Like THUMP!” Sped Pinkie Pie, bouncing slightly. “I didn't even get a twitchy tail! I always get a twitchy tail when things fall!
The bright sky blue prismatic maned Pegasus of the group hopped up from the ground and lay back in the air over the group. “So Pinkie found an old book! So? Why's it so important Twi?”
Below her, a styled mane of Indigo bobbed slightly as it's owner coughed a muffled sentence involving “Care more”, “Daring Do”, and “all over it”, causing the rainbow maned pony over head to roll over and glare at Rarity down below. Regaining her composure, Rarity floated pair of red rimmed glassed over with her horn, focusing through them at the book in question sitting under the bust on the table in the center of the library. “But I must agree with Rainbow Dash here Twilight. You called us all over after Pinkie brought you this, but I still don't see what's so important about this book. I do enjoy a good novel now and then,” thinking about this, Rarity blushed slightly, but shaking it off she continued “but this doesn't seem that special dear, apart from it's described arrival.”
Twilight finally spoke up, gently trotting in front of her circled friends, and reaching a hoof to the front cover of the MYST book. Taking a deep breath, shaking in a mix of excitement and panic, she looked at her friend and in the calmest tone she could muster spoke. “Everypony: This is why I called you over. I've already sent a letter to the princess.”
Twilight flipped the beaten book open. It opened not to a page of text, but to a single small image, resting on the right hoof page. The gathered ponies gathered closer, even the still quiet yellow colored Fluttershy, who gasped loudly as as the group's collected eyes went wide.
The picture in the book showed an island. Small, but covered with things. With trees and buildings, Huge gears and a sunken ship, wires and what looked like a space ship. But the biggest thing about it: The picture was moving.
