//------------------------------// // the Elements of harmony? // Story: My little undertale // by Storm Rival //------------------------------// I as soon as I'd reached the Library, I knocked cordially at the door. soon after I had, I find that a purple lizard like creature had opened the door. how could he possibly be standing up? "Can I help you?" he asked. I simply motioned with my hooves a book motion, which was harder than it seemed. "Ah, come on in," he said to me "This is a Library after all." I did so. Looking around at the books, I noticed that the library here was far more extensive than the one underground, That and they were all out of syntonization with the dewey decimal system. I continued about the Library to find any nonfiction book, however, the shelves I went to had fiction, and what seemed to be adventure novel, Daring do... Quite interesting, perhaps I'll take it back underground with me when I find a way home. I continue looking and still haven't found a single book pertaining to history. I did however find books about magic, and the powers a unicorn body possesses, I also saw books on earth ponies and Pegasai as they were respectively called. Hm, unicorns, Pegasus and earth, magic soul and detirmination. perhaps this was my way home. I now realize something I've neglected to do since I've gotten here, I need to see what the core had done to my body. I was looking where I was, I was seeing how different the world is here, I was also seeing the differences between everybody, or as the ponies here like to say, everypony, however I neglected to see myself. to be treated as an outcast, yet also be somewhat accepted may mean that I'm a pony, that I figured out only the first few hours here. however, I don't know what I am aside from that. I look for the purple lizard, which, now that I think about it, he could possibly be a dragon, and find him in what appears to be the kitchen snacking on some hay. "wazzup?" he asks me, "are you finding what you're looking for?" I shake my head no. "Well, speak up I don't know what to get you unless you say it." we're at an impasse, I can't speak, yet, as he can't deliver what I want unless I do speak. I then try to sign with my hoof for a piece of paper. "Oh, you want something to write with?" he asks I nod "Alright, I'll get it, Twilight has lots of paper, makes sense for the amount of checklists she makes." I scoff not knowing anything about this 'Twilight' filly, but I have a feeling I'll soon meet her. The dragon goes up stairs, and gets what I'd requested. instead of writing I draw, knowing that the symbols will once again appear if I do write the language I now know. "A Toilet?" The dragons asks me. "I noded. He pointed me to the bathroom. I hurry there in the hopes of seeing what I've become. I look around for a mirror and see one on the opposite side of the toilet. Looking into it, I finally see myself, and what the core had done to my body. I am a unicorn, I adhere to magic, I see a gash going from my left eye going to my horn. I tilt my head downward, and see that the gash leaves a small circle around the horn. I frown in disappointment at how much of an injury I'd sustained. I now see my left side, there is another gash going down from my eye to my jaw. I now wished that I'd never fallen into my creation. I head out of the bathroom with a sad yet, serious look. I go back to the table with the dragon and I begin to write. symbols are my alphabet now and what I'd written him didn't make any sense to him. I began to write out my kiosk to figure out my language, when a purple mare came through the door. Spike, I'm home!" she called. "I'm in the kitchen!" Spike replied. She saw me, I was in wondering what had happened to her. she was both a unicorn and a pegasus, I have no clue what that is called, however she does look, majestic "Hello sir," she says to me. I simply wave my hoof in response. "what can I do for you?" I give her the paper I was writing and took the paper out of 'Spike's' claws, and gave it to Twilight. She was perplexed by the symbols as well as her younger dragon, however, she tried to figure out what she could. "Is this paper your alphabet?" I nod. Then she asks, "why can't you speak?" "I can't speak otherwise this happens." I say knowing what a horrible racket I'd cause this town just for a simple answer. her mane was bent out of its straight down shape, spike's pupils were dilated, and I could see on his that face there was fear. Twilight stuck to figuring out the puzzle shortly after she'd heard what my speech dose. after about five minutes of her wracking her brain she finally says, "'I need some history of this place, as I am a visiter from far away. I wish not to cause any alarm and will leave as soon as the information is provided.'" I nod as that is what I wrote. "Alright, as far as history, you'll need this," Twilight brought a book down with her magic that book titled 'Mare in the moon.' I'd heard humans talk about the night sky and the 'man in the moon wondering if this were similar and how it was. "This," another book was brought down with telepathy called 'the elements of harmony' and finally, she said "I'm pretty sure you don't know magic right?" I nod and as I did, another book titled 'magic 101' floated down to me. Suppose I am to use this horn on my head for something. I begin with the grade school textbook trying to master my magic, however, as things went I couldn't preform any spell except for the basic levitation. Perhaps that's why I chose to stick with science and was appointed Royal scientist by Asgore himself. I could mostly rely on machine rather than magic anyway. I take another book, and I begin to read it this was the mare in the moon, and the reason the castle I'd seen last night was abandoned and wrecked. At least now I knew that I wouldn't offend anybody or rather anypony if I'd gone in there. The final book had given me my sense of what I needed to do. The elements of harmony; these were six powerful stones each said to correspond to some sort of feeling, excluding the last one Magic. I'd seen in the book before that they'd imprisoned or 'banished' the 'Mare' to the moon, with just a simple clause. I began to get curious and I saw parchment and a quill to write what I'd needed to be deciphered by Twilight. I used the basic knowledge I'd obtained by reading and used levitation to aid my writing, however I still wrote in those strange symbols. Twilight though, a bit used to the key by now, had translated what I had to say just like that. "You want to see the elements of harmony?" she asked. I nodded. Twilight went up to her room. I'd heard a little racket as she possibly got her element from its hiding place as I can only guess. she then brought it down, and let me see it. The golden curves were elegant, more elegant than the king's crown. The magenta stone inside rung with the essence it possessed. I was merely seeing it, yet I felt drawn to it as though perhaps my problems could be solved by this. I began to reach my hoof out to touch it, however, Twilight recoiled when I did so. "What are you doing?" she asked me. I'd taken the quill and parchment and wrote 'I merely wish to inspect the craftsmanship.' "It was made by magic, and-" Twilight was hesitant. she looked at me, then back at her crown. whatever had possessed her to be overprotective of this element I had no clue. after a short minute she said "One touch, then it goes back where it came from." I nodded, and reached my hoof out to the crown. As I did, I felt unimaginable pain, the one pain I remember feeling when I fell into the darkness... ----- As I relent the pain, I find that I'm in a house. However, who's house? I look around and I find two white ponies sitting together, their appearence is quite reminiscent of the king and prince from where I had come from. I keep looking around the house and find another white pony, she has wings and a horn much like Twilight, however, she reminds me of the queen. If they're here, then I must be somewhere close enough to them to get a message out. I levitate a quill and parchment over to me and begin writing in my strange symbols and leave a key at the bottom of the note. I sign my name which is the only possibly legible thing on it and I leave the house. However as I did, I notice a small brown filly she tugged me and wanted me to stay, however I knew the pain I had experienced to be true to my return back to the core. I simply shook my head and finally said "no," to the filly. it let go and let me leave as soon as I'd come. ---- My ears are ringing, my throat is sore and I hear frantic yelling about me as the ring subsides. "Oh my goodness he..." was the last thing I heard. I didn't care I wanted to know the truth and so I spoke. "Oh my goodness he what..." I said. "So you can speak, whoever you are." Twilight said. "First off I want to know your name. Second, explain to me what just happened." I look around and found nothing but small tufts of white hair on the ground. I levitate them close to me, and find that they are indeed my own tufts of hair. The other thing I see on the ground is a scorch mark. What had happened indeed blew my mind.
