The librarians and the cat of life

by Dragon Shimmer


Troublemakers and the lion

Sunset goes through many areas of the market. When she is chopping a pie and walking to the pyramid to look at it, she sees someone is going to jump from the high floor. Sunset looks around and sees no one notices that. The stallion is going to jump from the high floor. When the pony is going to crash into the floor, the orange pony teleports and catches the falling pony. 

Looking at the brown stallion, she sees that the pegasus is not in the conscious state. Sunset decides to slap on his face. The stallion looks at her in shock and jumps out of the orange pony. 

The stallion yells. "What have you done to me!?"

"Nothing." Sunset points at the building that the stallion just jumped. "You just jump from there."

"I did?" The stallion is shocked. "I remember that I just went to the shop to buy some new furniture. After that... I see the world turns into white." 

"So... you mean that you got hypnotized? I believed so because you don't know what happens." Sunset rubs her chin. "Be Careful next time. I won't be there to save you again"

Sunset is about to leave but the pegasus yells, "Hey, can I know your name?"

"Sunset." The orange unicorn leaves and heads to the pyramid. "... Sunset Shimmer." 

The stallion was curious about this mare. When he is just turning away, he sees a magenta mare with yellow mane smiling at him, making him gulp. He tries to go away but the mare wraps her hoof around his neck and asks. "Hi father~, are you interested in that mare?"

"Eh.. no no. I am just curious." The stallion is trying to retort but he feels her hug is tighter. "I'm telling the truth. I'm just curious, Calendar."

"What happens? Did that mare do something?"

"She is just saving me from death." The stallion sighs. "She just said that I am just jumping from the high building."

"... I wonder how you believe that story. No "

"Because I was being hypnotized." The stallion is sitting down on a nearby bench. "Honestly, compared to when I was seeing white while I was in a furniture store, maybe she was right."

"Can you describe her?" 

"Orange unicorn with red and yellow mane." The stallion rubs his head. "Her mane is like bacon though. She is going there." The stallion points in the direction as his daughter runs at the way he just points. The stallion rolls his eyes. "Another noise in this market. She reminds me of my wife so much."


Calendar is running to find an orange unicorn with bacon hair. When she gets to the food store, she sees Sunset Shimmer is sitting down inside the store and enjoying the food. The mare orders the food and watches her from behind to see if she is trying to lie to her father or not.

Looking at the orange unicorn, Calendar feels a little jealous inside because of her beauty. After 30 minutes, the orange unicorn walks out of the store and looks at the sky. She shakes her head and heads to the pyramid. Calendar follows her immediately.

When Sunset walks to the quiet place, she suddenly stops as the magenta mare is shocked and quickly hides. Calendar looks back and doesn't see the orange mare anywhere. A poke from behind as the Calendar turns around. She sees the orange mare is standing in front of her as the magenta mare screams and jumps inside the window

Sunset giggles while the magenta mare stands up and glares at her. "You make me scared." The mare jumps out of the window and sighs. "So what are you doing here?"

"Oh, is that the question you should answer?" Sunset shakes her head. "Next time, if you want to spy me, you shouldn't moving that .... stupid, honestly."

Calendar retorts. "Hey, I am not spying at you. I just walk through here." Sunset points behind her as the magenta looks at it. There are almost no creatures in there. Sunset tilts her head and demands an explanation. The magenta mare turns left. "Anyway, see you later." When she is just taking a step, she feels something is pinning her tail. Looking back, she sees the orange mare is smiling at her with a fireball on her left front hoof. Calendar waves her front hoof. "All right, all right. I am spying you, okay."

"And why?" Sunset throws the fireball away and someone is screaming out, making the magenta mare gulps. The orange unicorn sighs. "I am very good at taking attention, am I?"

Calendar giggles. "Maybe. I'm just spying on you to see if you try to court my father or not." And the magenta mare sees Sunset is holding the ice hammer. "Hey, I am speaking the truth. You are the worst mage I have ever met."

"and you are the worst spy I ever meet." Sunset dispels the hammer. "Why should I court your father? I don't even know you or who are your father."

Calendar retorts. "Yeah, I bet that he is too rich so you are trying to lie to me, right?" The orange mare tilts her head and circles her hoof next to her head, then she ignores her and heads to the pyramid. Calendar's head is redden in anger and tries to charge at the orange mare but Sunset steps aside to dodge it. 

When Calendar is trying to stand up, she feels something wrapping her hoof and pins her to the ground. Looking down, the magenta sees some fire chains are wrapping her hooves and attacking on the ground to prevent her from standing up. The magenta mare glares at the orange mare. 

Calendar yells. "Release me. Immediately." The orange mare just goes away from the magenta mare and heads to the pyramid. The magenta mare grunts and just lies there to wait for her father.

After 30 minutes, her father comes to her spot and finds that Calendar is sleeping. Her father wakes her up and asks. "What happens?"

"Just some... embarrassing stuff." 

Calendar blushes as the brown stallion looks at the chain. He feels some heat from it. The stallion smiles. "I bet you just encountered a mage. I like this ending though."

"Are you my father?" Calendar tries to get off. "Release me please. I will get that mare soon."

"I don't know how to cut this chain. I will find someone to cut it. Stay here, alright?" The brown stallion runs away to find someone who is able to cut the chain. The magenta are grunts and lying on the floor to wait for her dad to come back.


Sunset walks to the pyramid and sees Twilight and others are standing here. The orange unicorn runs to them. Craka is holding the purple dragon very tight while Breaker is introducing the pyramid. 

When Breaker sees the orange unicorn, she asks. "Hey, we are waiting for you."

"Sorry for being late. I got into some trouble with a crazy mare." Sunset sighs. "Anyway, anything happens?"

"Nothing. Just that brick is trying to court me again." Breaker sighs. "I know that he wants this kingdom and his fame."

"Sound disgusting." Sunset smiles. "How about you forget about that and guide us inside the pyramid."

"Good idea."

Breaker is going to lead the group inside but the familiar Abyssian comes to her as the brown Abyssian sighs in frustration. The yellow Abyssian comes to her. "My dear Ethna, do you want to come with me?"

"No thank." Breaker ignores him and starts walking inside the pyramid but the yellow Abyssian stands in front of her. The brown Abyssian yells angrily. "Get out of my way. You annoy me too much, Sandy."

The yellow Abyssian takes out something as the brown Abyssian looks at it. It seems like a pendant. The yellow Abyssian answers. "Okay. Please take this and I will not stand in your way again."

Breaker huffs and takes the pendant. The yellow Abyssian bows and walks away from Breaker to leave them alone. When Sandy goes out of her sight, the brown Abyssian throws the pendant to Sunset and asks. "Can you examine this pendant? I bet that he has something with it."

Sunset examines the pendant and sees that there is a spell in this. Looking closer, she sees the pendant have an emotion control spell. The orange mare throws it away and adds a fireball to the pendant. "He is trying to control you, like a doll."

"Know it." Breaker folds her paw. "That's why I never trust him. Bet that it is work like... after I wear it, I will love him immediately."

"No..." Sunset shakes her head. "It will spread some air to you to make you curious, then you will love him naturally. The thing is... it works very slow, so not everyone can see it."

"That's malignant." comments Spike. "I bet that even Breaker takes off that pendant, the spell will not dispelled, right?"

"I assume that." Sunset huffs. "I wonder how many female creatures he gave this pendant to?"

"Maybe a billion." Craka rolls her eyes. "I would rather hug this purple dragon than hear that brick."

"You should release me." Spike sighs. "I admit that your fur is comfortable like a cat, but I prefer Twilight more."

Craka puts her head on Spike's head. "Nah. I want to hug you more." Twilight giggles while Spike glares at the purple unicorn. The gray Abyssian looks at her sister. "Come on. We got a tourist to guide us."

Breaker leads others to go inside the pyramid. The thing is going to be fun.


Celestia heads to her room with some papers. All of them related to the changeling. The white alicorn is going to pay a visit to the changeling queen. The weird thing today is they want to meet the changeling queen and talk about a curse or something. She will pay a visit to the changeling queen soon.

When the white alicorn opens the door, she sees a lion looking at her curiously. Celestia just stares at it a little bit and slowly closes the door, then she breathes heavily. The white alicorn stands up and opens the door again. The lion is still there and staring at her, makes Celestia close the door again.

The white alicorn asks the nearby guard to open the door if he sees a lion or not. The guard opens the door and sees nothing inside. Celestia is shocked as the guard looks at her. The guard tells her to take a rest. 

Celestia closes the door and lies on the bed. The white alicorn hopes that she is meeting the illusion. She decides to close her eyes to take a nap.

After 2 hours, the white alicorn opens her eyes and sees the lion is staring at her. Celestia stands up and decides to ignore it because she is thinking that it is just an illusion. 

"Ignore me is not a good choice, alicorn." Celestia stops and looks at the lion. When she is going to scream out loud, the lion puts the paw to her mouth. "You need something to calm your mind?"

Celestia pushes the paw away and breathes heavily. She glares at the lion. "Don't scare me like that again. First is my old student and now you." The white alicorn shakes her head and tries to . "Anyway, where did you come from?"

"Oh, you don't need to know that." The lion bows at the alicorn. "Sorry for scaring you. My name is Leo, I'm a lion."

Celestia rolls her eyes. "My name is Celestia. Nice to meet you." then the alicorn rubs her head. "I believed that no species like a talking lion even exists in this Equus." 

"That's the one you don't need to know." Leo lies down on the floor. "Anyway, I have an offer to you."

Celestia doesn't know what this lion wants, but she wants to hear this offer. "What is the offer?"

The lion puts his paw on his chest. "Will you train with me?"
