// Takofuusen's Purpose

There is a small pony tale about a strange, floating creature.

Some ponies say it's just a myth. But it's true.

There's a extremely rare chance that you can see the mysterious creature floating above in all it's glory.

Sometimes, you can hear a faint drum beat noise coming from it. It is said that it could bring good luck. It could cure sickness. Depression. It could even bring back the deceased.

It was named Takofuusen.

The name Takofuusen was said to come from an ancient civilization that had passed away.

The name was soon found out to translate to "octopus balloon", which changed how ponies thought of Takofuusen's appearance.

It wasn't until the year 1547 that a strange pony stated he saw the creature and even drew what looked like. The appearance stuck.

In the year 1835, a book was found in the wilderness by settlers said to be written by a mad pony, about Takofuusen's origin and its purpose.

The 'mad pony' had written: "The Octopus Balloon, or Takofuusen, comes from the land White Desert, where no colors are found, which is far beyond Equestria. I kept Takofuusen hidden. It's homesick, so I'm sending it back."

The book was thought to be written by Starswirl the Bearded, who suddenly disappeared off the face of the planet.

The legend shriveled and shrunk into a small rumor, whispered only by who believed it would return to make life brighter, but those ponies slowly die away, and the legend was lost.

Very few books about Takofuusen still exist, which are only buried deepest in libraries, and farthest within archives.

But some believe Takofuusen is coming back.
