Mossshadow Dash flew home still dripping blood from his mouth. He tried not to think about the near death experience that just happened to him. He arrived at a smallish cottage not far away from the library and opened the door. He turned on the light and went to the bathroom to rid his mouth of blood. Then he grabbed a near by tishue and held it near his mouth. It wasn't a large cut but it wasn't small either. Then he went to his room and slept away all the trouble.

At 11:30pm a small crack woke him up. He couldn't see so he rubbed his eyes with his fore hooves. There was a light shinning through under the door. He got out of bed and went out to see what it was. There was a large red glow coming from the kitchen. He walked slowly toward the kitchen and when he got into the kitchen he saw a beautiful, firey bird. Now at first he was worried because it might burn his house down, but nothing was catching fire. The bird seemed to be carrying something. A letter. The bird handed him the letter, but he didn't take it. He thought that the bird was stupid and got the wrong adress. But the bird insisted he have the letter. So Mossshadow took the letter out of the birds talons and opened it.

'Dear Mossshadow Dash
You might not know me but I sure know a lot 'bout you...'
Mossshadow didn't want to read anymore, it seemed like a stalker letter but something told him to read on.
'...i'm not sure when you'll be getting this letter, but when you do it start something great. Your ancestor was a close friend of mine...'
As soon it said his ancestor his childhood sprung back into place and took a hold of him.
'... she was a magnificent pony...'
'Wait there is no recorded infomation that prooves that my ancestor is a female or no pony nows that. unless...' thought Mossshadow Dash
'...whenever you get this letter go to the library others will be waiting...'
'others? you mean there are other ponies related the the legendary 6?' thought Mossshadow Dash
'...then my pheonix will show up again to hand you all another letter. Yours truly. Princess celestia'
Mossshadow's skipped a beat. A lot of questions popped up into his head all at once.
'Isn't this pony dead? When did she write this? was it before she was murdered? Did she get murdered? Did no pony find any trace of her? Is she dead?'
He yawned and looked for the pheonix but it was gone there was just a candle on the table and he wasn't holding anything. He looked at the time.
'11:35 Did I imagine all that just to keep me distracted from the near death experience and cheer me up?' Mossshadow thought. 'well I guess it worked then'
So he went back into his bedroom and went back to sleep.

Then next morning he woke feeling a little happier than normal. He went into the kitchen and cooked up some eggs for himself. He also put the kettle on to make himself some coffee then he realised something. He wasn't hungry nor tired. He wanted to go to the library, he wanted to find out stuff about last night's dream.If it was a dream. So he ate what he could and bolted out the door toward the library.
