Dear Diary
Whatever place this is, it has to be some place important. I'm sure that it has to be a reason of why this all started. But how? An empty town means nothing. There could have been billions upon billions of explanations. But whatever happened, I need check this place out out. See if I can find any clue as to what happened to me.
I slowly walked through the night and over the purple checkered grass, trotting toward the tree house. Most of the cottages were the same or at least very similar, except the tree house. It was different, so I believed it was a good first choice.
As I was inching closer to the house, a sudden change in lighting frightened me. The gleaming silver moon had abruptly fell, and was replaced by the blazing orange and yellow sun, all in an instant. I was absolutely baffled. Was this really how the weather was here? No... there's no way that could be right, Something had to be wrong here. As like the rest of this town.
I finally made it to the tree house, as I pushed the door open with my head, I remembered the note. The name that was signed on it - Twilight Sparkle.
Something in my head told me that this place had something to do with her. Was it her house? What long journey was she talking about? So far, I have only been in room and to the hospital...
I walked inside, luckily the candles flickered to life suddenly to reveal a massive library. There were books everywhere! The bookshelf in my room didn't even come to one tenth of this!
Bookshelves filled the outside of the circular room, with a small round desk in the center. The warm lights illuminated the wooden floor. There was also a staircase, leading into a small wooden door. I was left to imagine how a tree house that looked so warm and cozy from the outside, could house so many books on the inside.
I located a small set of wooden stairs that led to a bedroom. After much consideration, I stepped up the stairs, but when I pushed the wooden door open, billions of letters tumbled violently through the doorway, crashing on top of me. I climbed up from the pile of paper.
"Weird..." I thought. "Who would keep this many letters in their room?"
One of the letters, already open, caught my eye. I quickly scanned over the contents of the parchment.
"Dear Princess Celestia... Never judge a book by its cover... You’re faithful student, Twilight Sparkle."
"That's a weird topic to be talking about with a princess," I thought.
I struggled to get out of the mess of paper, which resulted in me tumbling down the stairs. I climbed back up, being extra careful not to slip on any of the letters. It was then when I had noticed how much better I was at traveling with these four new hooves. In the beginning, I was tumbling and falling every left and right, now I could almost completely manage on my own.
Peeking inside the bedroom to make sure there was nothing else that would fall on me, I tip-toed in, and flicked on the light switch. No lights came on. But, who cares about the light? With the sunlight coming through the win-... The sun just disappeared.
I fumbled through the darkness of the small room, and luckily found a lantern lying on a nearby desk, and flicked it on.The room was simple, oddly enough, just like mine. A small bed with decorative stars on it. A desk, papers sprawled all over it. The only thing different was the shining telescope standing next to the window.
There was also a small bookshelf. Which made absolutely no sense to me, but why would someone have a bookshelf in a library? Personal favorites I suppose?
I looked at the books in the small shelf, reading the titles out loud, even though no one was listening.
"Supernatural Remedies... Daring Do, and the quest for the Sapphire Statue... Astronomical Astronomer's Alamanac to All Things Astronomy..." There had to be something else in this house that could explain more. I glanced around the darkly lit room and noticed 2 books on the desk full of papers.
One of them, open. I walked over to see what they were.The first seemed very old and musty, and looked like it could fall apart at any second, much like the receptionist at the hospital. The title was barely legible, faded and scratched from the test of time.
"The Elements of Harmony. Sounds important. I'll read it later..." I put the book on my back and stared at the second book, scanning the contents of the open page. Page 32. There were paragraphs filling the page, each with their own title.
"Levitation... Illumination... Summoning elements..." One of the titles struck me. "Body Switching."
Immediately as I read that line, as if planned, the whole house started to tremble. Everything started to fall; books, lights, the telescope. Even bits of the celling were falling too.
What? How can a tree house collapse!? I decided it would be best not to question it. Sounds of destruction filled my ears as
more objects slipped from their well organized positions on shelves and drawers, quickly finding themselves on the floor.
I picked up the two books, and put them on my back, quickly.
An angry voice, powerful and strong, filled the entire room loudly over the sound of the house falling apart,
"Twilight! I thought I was done with you!!!"
Everything was being destroyed. I had no idea what to do. I started to run out the door from the room, but a fallen bookshelf blocked my path way.
The voice came back, yelling,
"TTTWWWIIILLLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-"
This was nonsense. I had to get out, but my only exit was blocked. There was only one choice left.
"IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-"
All of the sounds of destruction disappeared, along with the voice, all in an instant. They were gone from existence. Teleporting back home, I was greeted by the sound of nothing.
What has become of my life?
