The dark is such a beautiful place. So full of hope, dreams not yet encountered; things to be discovered. Why did others not understand this?
Slendy sighed. He brought himself back to the physical world with reluctance, and appeared on top of a tree sitting in the middle of a village. He could sense and smell something old- the Everfree Forrest- nearby. Looking around, Slendy felt a great many beings nearby, two of them inside of the tree.
Appearing inside the tree-building, Slendy found himself in a library. He began to look through the books absently, deciding on wither to speak with the two other beings in the tree house. In the end, he decided to wake them. He needed to speak with somepony, and no place better to start with the one that was supposedly Celestia's apprentice.
Slendy stomped his hoof against the floor, and darkness spread from it like tendrils of some long forgotten beast of the deep. The tendrils moved into the bookshelves, absorbing knowledge from the books. Two of the tendrils moved into other rooms, branching off into more tendrils as they moved into new rooms. After about a minute, Slendy recalled all but one of the tentacles. The last remaining tendril moved up the stairs and into another room, where two beings, a pony and a dragon, slept. The tendril swirled around the room, absorbing fallen books and stacked books, seeping into cracks and corners, exploring the room. Finally, the tendril finished and moved towards a particularly large stack of books. The tendril suddenly became very much solid, and hit the books with a rather large amount of force. Just as suddenly, the tendril withdrew to Slendy. Slendy stood in the center of the Library, waiting.
Twilight woke with a start to find Spike awake and looking at her and her pile of books on princess-y stuff and proper manners lying around where they should have been hap-hazard stacked.
"Spike, can you close the window?" she groaned, rolling over.
"Erm, Twi? It's not open." Spike said, a look of fear approaching his features.
"Well, what knocked over the books then, little fairies? Ugghh… I'm awake now anyway, I'm going to go get a drink."
Twilight got out of bed, walking towards the stairs. Spike briefly nodded and rolled over to go back to sleep.
Twilgiht descended the stairs cautiously, before thinking and almost hoofing herself in the face- why didn't she just turn on the lights with magic? She did so, momentarily blinded by the immediate light that washed over her.
Suddenly, Twilight felt as if she wasn't alone. Her head snapping up, Twilight found herself looking at the center of her Library where a slightly darker area than the surrounding areas was- and in the center of that, a pony.
Twilight screamed in surprise.
Almost immediately, a quick pitter-patter of feet came across from upstairs. Spike Was then at Twilight's side, and he yelped in surprise.
Slendy stood looking at the pair in relative curiosity, not that surprised by their reactions. He gave them a moment to settle themselves. He also realized with relative surprise that Twilight had both wings and a horn and Spike was a young dragon. Interesting.
"Wh-Who are you and what do you want?!" Twilight said, her voice and body visibly shaking.
Spike moved in front of her, despite his obvious fear. "D-D-D-D-Don't hurt her!" He managed to squeak out. Slendy was surprised- he had expected the young dragon to turn and run up the stairs.
"Please, do not be alarmed. I do not wish to hurt either of you. I wish only to speak."
Slendy spoke, attempting to calm the terrified pony and dragon.
"What? Who are you!?" Twilight spoke, her curiosity poking out of her fear.
"I am Slenderman. I am with Celestia, Luna, and Discord. I have come to speak with you about various matters." Slendy.
"Oh." Twilight said with a relative sigh of relief.
"Thank you. Shall we sit?"
"Erm…Yes? Yes… Yes. We shall." Twilight felt as if this stranger was the one in control in her own Library. It was not a good feeling.
"May I get you some tea, Mr. Slenderman?" Twilight asked.
Slendy shook his head. "No, thank you. I am fine."
"Erm…Ok. Wh-What can I do for you at this early hour?"
"My… apologizes for the late meeting." Slendy inwardly cursed at himself, thinking that he shouldn't have let his impatience get to him.
Twilight felt a little better after this; it meant that whatever was sitting in front of her was at least somewhat mortal.
"Um, no problem. I just wasn't expecting you." Twilight stated.
"Neither was I…" Spike grumbled.
Slendy gave him an odd look. For someone who had just been terrified, he had come around to normality quickly.
"What can I do for you, Mr. Slenderman?" Twilight asked politely.
"It is a long story."
"Please, I'm up and awake. I would love to hear it."
Slendy told her.
By the time he had finished, it was five thirty and the sun was beginning to peek over Ponyville.
"Oh. Wow. Um- that's a lot of information. I have been noticing the trends that have Celestia worried. Trixie, Chrysalis….
Maybe they're all related." Twilight mentioned.
"Who and who?" Slendy asked.
"Oh! Well, we've got a bit of catching you up to do then, don't we?" Twilight laughed.
