“Spike you lazy dragon, time to get up!” Spikes light green eyes popped open. He sat up and stretched his purple scales, he let out a big yawn. It was Spike's birthday today. “How old was I again?” Spike sat there for a while thinking about how old he was. “10! Now I remember my age. 990 some years to go,” Spike sighed for awhile. Until he realized it had been 4 minutes. “Coming Twilight!” yelled Spike as he went downstairs giggling uncontrollably at how he was going to get presents and cake, and hang out with the pony gang, and presents. “Wait can't think about that, I don't want it to end up like last year, I don't want to destroy half of Ponyville again.” He shook his head, trying to get the thought out of his head. He glanced out the window. It was a beautiful morning in Ponyville. Their were some clouds in the sky, birds sang their morning song. A squirrel clambered up the tree, mouth full of acorns. The sky was a beautiful sight to see. The horizon was touched with a soft pink, and as you got higher, it gently transformed into a turquoise, then into a blue hue which blanketed the light green hills. “Spike, how long does it take to get out of bed!” Spike shook his head. He skipped into the kitchen. He took a seat at the dinner table. He then looked at Twilight and grinned at the lavender unicorn, with the colours of the very early night. “Hello there birthday boy, would you care for some breakfast?” Twilight asked. Spike nodded. “Ok Spike, I made you your favourite, turquoise cereal, with a nice big diamond on the side. Enjoy number one assistant.”

Yesterday in Canterlot
The ground began to shake under Princess Celestia's hooves. All the castle staff started to panic, and started running around the white alicorn princess. Flower pots were crumbling, spilling their flowery contents all over the freshly cleaned floor. The golden chandeliers broke off their chain letting gravity take hold of them, smashing them to the ground almost hitting Princess Celestia. The Guards were running toward the princess, the ground's shaking escalated, ponies were tripping over their own hooves and the pegasus maids were dodging debris-bullets. “Princess Celestia!, go outside! Its for your own safety!” A unicorn guard managed to get to the princess and say something before a piece of ceiling knocked him unconscious. “Get outside, “ the princess thought, “Except I can't leave my subjects to die or get injured. Wait, I have an idea.” Her horn started to glow a golden hue, she started to think of her staff inside the castle. ZAP! All the staff-ponies in the building got their own personal golden magic shield, they all seemed relieved to be protected. So they trotted off to the nearest door. Then the princess started for the ballroom, she dodged bits and pieces of the ceiling, and the odd chandelier. She arrived in time to see the left wall crumble to the ground leaving a giant cloud of brown, and white dust. The noise was almost deafening. Glass shattering, bits and pieces of the wall smacking into the ground to be followed by the one big piece of wall. When everything settled there, where the wall was, a staircase. Princess Celestia trotted up to it, it looked like it had not been used in thousand of years. The stone was dark and glistened with moisture, moss was clinging to the steps. Celestia started to walk down it. The way the steps where made. She estimated the age was pre-Nightmare Moon, but after the founding of the country Equestria, the harmony of the tribes, and after Discord. Roughly the year 1000 BCE (Before common era.) So about 3000 years ago. When she reached the end of the stairs she couldn't beleive her eyes, A wall, covered in hieroglyphics, the written language at the time. Before the modern hieroglyphics and written words. Princess Celestia could understand this text. The first sentence translated to: The World began with the Sun, the Moon came after. When the Sun and Moon set, Magic will rule Equestria. “I will have to tell Twilight tomorrow,” the princess thought.

“Happy Birthday Spike” yelled Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Twilight in unison. “Thank you guys for such an awesome birthday party,” said Spike as he blew the 10 candles on his cake. The cake was a 3 tier cake with chocolate icing. There was caramel driping down from the top, It looked delicious. The cakes have done it again with this amazing cake. Spike started tunnelling through it like it was a mine. It was so big he even started to make himself a little room inside. Everyone laughed as Spike started making furniture out of the icing. “Spike, we need to eat that you now,” explained Rainbow Dash. Spike eventually wiggled out, cake in between his scales, and icing stuck on his claw. “That was the best cake I have ever tasted.” Everyone started dancing and playing games, at around 8:00 pm, everypony left to their respected homes. When all of them left Spike started to go upstairs when, BURP! A letter shot out of is mouth followed by a stream of purple and green fire. Spike caught it and started reading it out to Twilight.
Dear my faithful student, Twilight Sparkle,
An earthquake hit Canterlot yesterday, luckily no one was hurt so far. The earthquake did reveal a 3000 year old ruin, containing a prophecy. It translated to this:
The World began with the Sun, the Moon came after. When the Sun and Moon set, Magic will rule Equestria.
If you have any idea what this means, tell me immediately. I am also asking you to come to Canterlot to view this ruin.
Princess Celestia.
"There's only one thing to do Spike," Twilight said. "Take a nap?" Spike let out with a yawn. "No, me and my friends have to go to Canterlot."
