Twilight awoke in her bed, Spike lay beside it in his basket, sucking a claw and hugging his blankey. She fuzzily regarded the room as the happenings of her night settled into her conscious memory. A final thought made itself known and the purple unicorn jumped from her bed. “Did it happen? Did it work!” she half shouted, tripping from her room in haste.

She clattered down the stairs and slipped on the penultimate, landing on her rump with a crash. There was no one else in the library. Heart wrenching disappointment clutched in her chest and just as the first tears slid from her eyes, the scent of coffee wafted from the kitchen.

“Twilight Sparkle? Is that how you greet every morning?”  A sable coated unicorn, her mane a deep blue and her eyes bright indigo walked from the kitchen, a pair of coffee cups floated in her azure magic. 

“Evera!”  Twilight shouted with joy and pounced on the unicorn.

“Easy! You don’t want to spill my first coffee in over a thousand years!” Evera laughed. “And look, I have my own cutie mark!” She swished her tail over her flank, a stylised lion of silver marked it. “Ancient scholars marked out fortitude with a lion you see.” She began before being cut off with further hugging. 

“He did really do it! He did!” Twilight released the sable unicorn and danced around her. “Yes! Yes! Yes!” She skidded to a halt and hugged Evera again. The librarian’s joy was infectious and Evera smiled, she set the coffee cups down and caught her frolicking fellow for a hug. 

“It seems our chaotic acquaintance decided granting me physical existence would set a few heads spinning at least.” She kept Twilight suspended in magic and toted her to a chair. “The question is, how do we proceed?”

Twilight’s face fell, “I didn’t really think of that. We need to contact Luna... She’ll know what to do.” She looked properly at the new unicorn and it finally clicked. “Well, at least you’re less noticeable.”

Evera grinned and flicked her mane. “Oh yes, while I think I’ll miss wings, magic is simply too practical to lose.” 

The two unicorns began to laugh, the joy overcoming them. Dancing in circles. “Shall I introduce you to my friends, new friend?”

“Lets.” Evera grinned. Stuck close together they exited the library, into a new life for the charcoal unicorn, with new friends and a future at last.
