Hua and Kuati walked down the path. Or should I say Hua dragged Kuati down the path.

"Why do you need me! Ask somone else to help you do your research!"

Kuati had a light grey coat and a dark green mane with three yellow streaks in it. He was also a idiot.

Hua turned to Kuati.

"Everyone else is busy preparing the place for the Salmaic and your doing nothing apart from running around like a idiot."

Kuati smiled sheepishly.

"Ah, that makes sense."

In a few minutes they got to the library. They looked around for a bit, until Hua found a book called 'The war of the crusade for the first civilisation'.

Kuati looked up from the book he was reading and looked at the title and read it.

"What a lame name for a book."

"Your reading a clopfic, so you can't say much."

Kuati put the book back.

"This one is boring anyway, it hasn't got any pictures in it."

Hua rolled her eyes and sighed.

"Boys."

She opened up the book and skimmed through the pages, but it only had knowledge about the war, not the actual civilisation.

Then Kuati shouted from the back of the library.

"Here, I think I-"

"Shhhhhhhh!" 

"Oh sorry!"

The the pony at the counter scowled at Kuati and looked back at the book she was reading.

Hua trotted down to Kuati.

"What is it?"

Kuati raised the book to show Hua the title.
'The ones who came before, the discoveries and notes made by Leovadca Doch Lee'.

Hua looked at Kuati and smiled.

"Your amazing, good work!"

"Well, I am one heck of a stallion."

Hua sat down on the floor and rolled her eyes.

"Let's take a look at this thing, shall we?"

Kuati sat down next to Hua while she turned the pages over to the index. But there wasn't one. 

"Its going to take forever for us to find what we need!"

"Your alawys looking at the bad side of things aren't you?"

"Well you can get started on that, while I go and find some more clo- I mean books to help us understand the subject a bit more."







"Hey! Kuati come here!"

"Ah, that's some good curves right there- oh, uh what did you say?"

"Come here."

Kuati left his book where it was and looked over Hua's shoulder.

"What have you found?"

"Look, you see that picture?"

Kuati looked at the picture of two ponies forming a circle. One of them was painted with a dark navy colour with blue hair while the other one was white and had a pink mane. Kuati noticed that there was a sun and a moon in the middle of the two of them.

"Okay, so some guy decided to paint a picture of two ponies."

Hua hit herself on the head.

"Don't you see? They have a unicorn horn and a pair of wings."

Kuati observed the image again and saw what she meant. 

"So what, someone decided to draw a half unic-"

"In the book it says that it is called a alicorn. I suspect that they were seen as gods, or must have been-" 

She trailed off, talking about what the picture could mean. At the same time a figure walked into the room. 

Kuati didn't give the pony a second thought until Hua turned to the figure and stare, a thing she rarely does.

When Kuati saw the mysterious figure he did the same. 
The mysterious pony was Geretiyak.
