Chapter 2
( The Meeting )
Lyra sat in a chair in the library waiting for Fluttershy to return with Twilight. While waiting for she thought to her self
( Huh there sure is a lot of books in here. I wonder if she has read them all. )
Lyra began to chuckled to herself due to what she just thought, Twilight then came down the stairs with Fluttershy. Twilight say the visitor siting in a chair she came down the stairs and proceeded to speak.
“Oh Hello, I am Twilight Sparkle, I'm sorry I wasn't down here when you first came in. I try to meet everypony at the door I'm sorry I missed you. I'm just glad Fluttershy caught you before you left discouraged.”
Twilight looked at Fluttershy with a smile. Fluttershy returned the smile and begun to speak.
“Oh its fine its the least I can do since what happened.” Fluttershy said with a shy smile. “Well I'll get going, Goodbye Lyra, its was very nice to meet you.”
Fluttershy then proceeded to exited the tree.
Both Lyra and Twilight yelled to Fluttershy at the same time.
“So long Fluttershy, thanks for the help.” Twilight and Lyra then looked at each other and laughed.
“So Lyra is it? How may I help you?”
Twilight asked as she walked over to Lyra.
“Well Twilight I have an unusual request for you you.” She said with hope in her tone.
“Oh really? How interesting, what might that be?” Twilight asked with a raised brow.
“Well you see I have heard that you are a very knowledgeable pony. Would you happen to know of a creature know as a human?”
“Well Lyra I can't say that the term rings a bell, hum, would you happen to know how to describe this creature?”
“Well by what I know they are creatures that are bipedal intelligent and have hands and feet. Other than that I can't say.” Twilight became intrigued, she had never heard of something like this. Which made her rather excited she loved to discover new things. Learning just made her happy.
“Well lets check my books and see what I can find.” She said happily. Twilight searched high and low and couldn't find one single book on the subject. “That's strange I don’t seem to have anything on this creature. May I ask where you heard of them?”
Lyra gulped ( Oh no, if I tell her the only place I have seen them is in my dreams she'll think I'm crazy, just like Bon-Bon. That's the last thing I need. Bon-Bon keeps quiet about this because she cares for me, she doesn't want me to end up in an asylum. But I have no idea what this Twilight will do. She seems interested in this but if I tell her I only know one from my dreams, she is bound to report me to some kind of medical team. )
“I um... Well I saw one.” Lyra said hesitantly.
“You saw one! Fascinating this could be a new species one we haven't yet documented! Or we could have a Species forgotten in time. How exhilarating You said it was intelligent, did it tell you its name?”
“Well it only told me It was called a human.”
( I feel bad for only telling her half the truth but. I just don't know if I can trust her yet.)
“It told you that it calls it's species humans. Amazing it must be intelligent. Would you be able to show me where the last place you saw It?”
“Well I would but I was.... uh.. lost and I wouldn't be able to find where I saw it again.” Lyra was sweating fearing that any second Twilight would catch on to the fact that she was Lying, Twilight on the other hand was to busy to notice Lyra's nervousness. For she was far to excited to give Lyra's actions and vague answers a second thought.
“Drat!”....... “Oh well”... “Oh I know! I don't have any information on it and considering that no one has even seen one or talked about one besides you, It could be a Lost species. The only place that you would be able to find information on a forgotten species would be the Canterlot library.”
The Canterlot Library?!
Yes! I'm from Canterlot and my mentor is Princess Celestia. So getting into even the older sections wont be a problem. Oh this is so exciting, finding a species forgotten to time! Lyra let me know when you can be ready to go I'll pay for the train ride if you want, just let me know when you are ready to leave.
Lyra just stood there her mouth wide open. ( What have I gotten myself into?! I didn't know this pony was that important! Oh no! And she's the student of Celestia if She finds out I lied about seeing the thing in real life..... She could have me banished or thrown into a dungeon or banished and thrown into a dungeon in the place she banished me too! Oh wow... this not good what am I supposed to do?)
Twilight stood there staring at Lyra awaiting a response.
( Oh Great! What do I tell her? I can't back out now, I'm into deep now. )
“I, um, well you know, sooner the better..” She said with a forced smile and a look of dread.
“Really?... Great! Just let me get my things. Oh and I have to tell Spike that I'll be gone he should be fine.”
“Spike....?”
“ Oh I'm sorry he's my assistant he's a baby dragon if you want you can talk to him while I get my things, and after I have what I need we can go catch the train.” She said with a very big Grin.
“Heh Heh... okay sure....”
About three minutes after Twilight went up the stairs the baby dragon known as Spike came down the stairs. Once he got down them he looked at Lyra for a second then said
“ Hi I'm Spike Twilight told me about what's going on. So can I ask you a question?”
“You already did.”
“Huh?... oh!”
Both spike and Lyra then laughed.
“Anyway if you find this thing would you mind taking a picture of it? I would love to see what it looks like. I bet it's really big. Oh and, has Giant claws on its fingers. I bet it has wings too! You know so It can fly!!”
Lyra just looked at spike with a smile
( Awww he's cute I hate to tell him they don't have anything like that)
“No problem Spike, I promise I'll get you a picture.”
Spike's eyes lit up and told Lyra thank you, and gave her a hug.
( For a dragon he's pretty sweet.)
