The Hidden Library
By Deathstrike666
Chapter 1 – Infinite Knowledge
///////////////////////////////////////
A ray of light beamed into a large room through a stained glass window with the pictures of six ponies, one yellow, one pink, one white, one blue, one orange, and one purple. The beams landed on a purple alicorn causing her to slowly open her eyes from her deep sleep.
It had been a peaceful night for the mare, finally getting some sleep after her long hours of royal duties last night. She pulled herself out from under her lavish purple silk sheets and unsteadily stood on the marble floors below. She gave a quick yawn and a stretch of her wings before continuing towards the massive doors of her bedroom.
The first week had been quite an experience for the new princess. Her lot of royal duties were quite different from anything else that she had done before but she figured that she would get use to it, eventually. But now she had focus on what duties she had for today.
Reaching the massive double doors of her bedroom, the alicorn took a few deep breaths. You can do this, Twilight. You have been doing it for a week now. It will get easier as time goes on. Upon opening the doors with her magic, Twilight noticed a small wrapped gift lying just in front of her.
“I wonder what this is?” she asked herself. Picking up the small gift in her lavender aurora and bringing it to her face, she began to carefully studied it. The gift didn't seem like anything out of the ordinary, it was small, rectangular and wrapped in a dark blue wrapping paper. The only thing that confused Twilight was that there was no note saying who it was from or who it was for, but it being left in front of her sleeping quarters led her to believe that it was for her.
Turning around, Twilight quickly went back into her room and shut the massive double doors. Sitting down at her personal desk, she pushed aside a small mountain of books and scrolls just to make some room for the gift. Carefully unwrapping the small gift revealed a black book.
“Why doesn't this book have a name?” pondered Twilight as she began to study the outer cover. The cover felt old but also new at the same time, it also felt like no material that Twilight at felt before.
Twilight slowly opened up the book to its first page then quickly flicked back and forth through all the pages in the book.
“Why isn’t there any writing?” Twilight said in frustration while picking up the book in a forehoof and throwing it across her bedroom, “What sort of a gift is a book without writing?”
the book landed on the far bedroom floor a strange multi colored glow surrounded it and began turning through the pages. Stopping at a page near the middle the multi coloured glow vanished. “Ok? That was strange.” questioned Twilight as she began to nervously walk towards the book. Slowly Twilight placed a hoof onto the open pages.
“OW!” cried Twilight in pain and quickly removed her hoof from the page. What was left on the page was a red outline of her hoof which began to move and rearrange itself into one word.
Twilight
The writing then continued to break apart and rearrange itself while a stunned Twilight watched with a wide open mouth.
Infinite Knowledge
Infinite Power
THE HIDDEN LIBRARY
With the final words the witting slowly vanished without a trace.
“Wait! Come back!” shouted Twilight as she desperately tried to get the writing to return “What is ‘Hidden Library’?” Twilight was now obsessed with this ‘Hidden Library’ and the book knew it. Slowly the writing began to return.
Do you want to know about the Hidden Library?
“Yes” answered Twilight enthusiastically and clapping for forehooves.
The Hidden Library contains the knowledge of all reality, all of time; past, present and future.
Twilight was shocked, a library that contained the knowledge of everything and she wanted to find it. “How can I get to this library?”
I can show you but the road will be extremely dangerous
“I don’t care about the dangers!” snapped Twilight “I just want to know how to get to this library”
The book remained quiet for a few seconds before replying.
Very well.
Follow me
With that the book became silent once more. Its last line confused Twilight the most. How on Equestria do I follow a book? I mean a book can’t walk but maybe this book can. I mean it is able to understand what I am saying and even respond. Wait... am I going crazy? I have just had an entire conversation with a book! Is that even possible?
The book distracted Twilight before her thoughts could get out of control. All the writing began to pile together in the centre of the pages to form a red circle. Once the circle was fully formed, little droplets of red began rise up out of the page. These droplets sat still in front of Twilight’s face before they started to spin around in a large clockwise circle.
As the droplets got faster and faster, small thunderbolts began to arc of the spinning circle, hitting randomly around Twilights bedroom. Soon a small vortex was being formed in the middle, slowly expanding to the same size as the outer spinning droplets. There was a flash a blinding blue light when the circumference of the vortex met the droplets.
When Twilight finally opened her eyes she was speechless. Directly in front of her was a shimmering portal of blues, reds and purples all swirling around in a transfixing spiral. Twilight gulped, she had never seen such magic before.
“Well here goes nothing” said Twilight before nervously stepping into the swirling colours. As soon as she was completely immersed the portal closed behind her with a loud crack and a few strips of lightning across the floor.
While I know next to nothing about Chaos, preferring Necrons, this seems like it will be a good read. Added to Read Later.

Well it is going to be about the Chaos God Tzeentch and his domain in the Warp.
I hope that you like it when you do read it later
2911559 So wait. No Khorne?
2911584
Well later on I was thinking of doing a Fic for each God of chaos and a pony's interactions with said god.
As you can see this Fic is Twilight and Tzeentch.
Later on I am thinking of doing Pinkie Pie and Khorne - Rarity and Slaanesh - Zecora and Nurgle
2911595 PINKIE and Khorne? Oooooh boy
2911598>>2911595
naaah mates, Pinkie and Cegorach
2911595 PINKIE AND KHORNE OH SHIT!
dude i love 40k!!! sutch a fun game..... gettin way to expensive thow
I'm looking forward to Twilight's meeting with the God of Magic.
ohhh totally disregarding any kind of safety for the gain of knowledge, i bet twi would sell her soul to the great schemer in an instant if it meant knowing more.
Okay. Twilight kind of seems, what's the phrase I'm looking for, a little OOC. Now let me tell you, if this had been a pre-series Twilight, then it might have been more believable that Twilight would openly trust some sentient book that warns her that the place she's going to has great dangers, after it apparently sampled her blood...Actually, why is she blindly thrusting herself into this?
This seems more of a move Sunset Shimmer would make, as opposed to Twilight. Although, Twilight is a good person and knows where she stand, so chaos would have a harder time finding purchase. Not mention the fact that she is an Element of Harmony, thus chaos would find it harder to corrupt her. (Not impossible, as Rarity was corrupted by those shadow demons...I like to think that the FIM universe has a chaos god of Darkness.)(Still, Equestria Girls showed that the Elements are linked with the bearers, hence why Sunset's attempt to kill Twilight backfired and instead gave Twilight the power to defeat her.)
Thus far, this reads more of something Sunset Shimmer did when she left for the human world. Her thirst for knowledge and a means to please Celestia/gain power herself were insatiable. Still, it took the Elements of Harmony to set her right. (After she turned into a demon...I loved that. Demons are canon...though the comic kind of did too. Just shadow demons.)
The same for Trixie, after Twilight defeated her. A thirst for power and knowledge to defeat her rival....I don't know about Trixie's reasoning. Twilight pretty much saved her. But then again, she showed her up. Still though, I think Trixie would have it in more for Snips and Snails (bringing the Ursa Minor into town, and showing everyone she's a fake) and Rainbow, Applejack, and Rarity (They hassled her for no other reason, then because she's a show-off. Really? She's supposed to do that. It's her job.)
This tells us the type of pony Twilight is and how she's better then that. (Tzeentch is more likely going to find an interesting 'chess' opponent in this game.)
Of course, I just hope for a good/happy ending. It's a thing Don Bluth did with his older movies. (Secret of Nimh, The Land Before Time, An American Tale) People, children for example, can handle dark and terrible things, as long as they have a happy ending. Which is going to happen, what with chaos being chaos.
That's just me though. I'm not a fan of downer ending and they usually deter me from picking up a story again. {Still, this is your story. Do as what you see fit. Don't let someone's opinion deter you away from what you want to do.}
2911595
Pinkie and Khorne is an interesting choice. Most likely, it'll be a comedy, knowing Pinkie. (Khorne's methods and stuff would never work with her, but it'd be hilarious to see what would happen.) Cegorach though may fit Pinkie better, but he wouldn't try and corrupt her. He'd probably see if he could have fun/use her. (It would be also interesting to see some Eldar gods...Yes, I'm away that there are only three left and that Cegorach is the only free one.){Of course, you're going with chaos gods, so that's that.}
Rarity and Slaanesh are an excellent choice.
Zecora and Nurgle....No idea how'd that go. I'll see how it turns out.
By the way, hasn't Tzeentch been known to appear to mortals in the form of a book before (you know, because all who look upon his 'true' form will tear their eyes out)?
2912982
I am not giving away anything this early
2912234
It will be interesting but Twilight has to get there first.
2912132
Yes it does get expensive. I have spent nearly $2000 on my Chaos Daemons army
2914344
Because for knowledge and power.
Also I stopped reading your comment when you started to reference Equestria Girls. Haven't seen it yet and I don't want spoilers.
Hmmm... interesting very interesting I shall follow this to see where it goes.
Well, I the description sounds interesting, so I guess I'll give it a try.
Just one question beforehand: I have absolutely zero knowledge on anything to do with Warhammer, so I'd like to know if you will write it so that ousiders can understand the various things related to Warhammer in there.
2918581
Well I will try
Plus the only references to warhammer are places and people living in said places.
Also not many warhammer are players know that much about the places where she is going.
2918676 That's good to hear. But I guess I'll wait until there is a little bit more content.
2918699
Ok then
Well I have already written 400 words of the next chapter (most of that is just describing where Twilight has gone to) so it should be out within the week (This is not a garrentee because of school work, writers block, and procrastination)
2918676 If you're into darker fantasy I can recommend a damn good five book series for you set in the original Warhammer lore-verse. Chronicles of Malus Darkblade.
2922238 Please don't take this the wrong way, but you may want to see about making your chapters a little bit longer, or at least a bit more story heavy for their length. This just read a little too quickly for its length. That being said I really enjoyed it and can't wait for more. Best of luck
-Dark Parable, That one pegasus what always wears a dashing hat.
2930598
I will probably check out that series later
Also I wasn't planning for this story to be that long just 10k to 15k words.
But one of the upcoming chapters will have a lot of meat to it. Even thought the entire chapter is just Twilight finding her way around a place called The Crystal Labyrinth.
Here is the description of The Crystal Labyrinth on some wiki.
The Maze of Tzeentch, also known as the Crystal Labyrinth, is Tzeentch's realm within the Warp. This maze is woven from the raw fabric of magic, threaded upon deceit and conspiracy. Hidden pathways built from lies and schemes lead out from the maze and infiltrate the dominions of other gods, binding together the fractious Realms of Chaos. The maze itself has no daemonic defenders. Its own illusory passages are enough of a barrier to any intruder not possessed of the strongest mind imaginable. Its glittering corridors reflect not only light but also hope, misery, dreams and nightmares. The labyrinth does not merely reflect but also distorts, pulling apart hope and purpose turning them into insanity and despair. Driven by Tzeentch's unconscious schemes, the labyrinth constantly moves and rearranges through nine dimentions simultaneously. Those lost within the maze's reaches will wander for eternity with their minds shattered, their dreams broken upon the wheel of their own failed ambition
I am going to have so much fun writing this place
2933182
-Blinks a bit.- Well... Heres hoping for a distinct lack of skin raider ponies... That'd be just too creepy and an image I do not want in my head... GAH! Too late x_x
2933244
I already have a few things planned for Twilight in the Labyrinth
2933255
Can't wait to read it. Best of luck and all that mein herr.
2916077
i do tau army fun stuff i have to get there new codecks thow i saw them and there sooooo mutch better than the old ones
is the Hidden Library separate from the Black Library?
2937642
The Black Library is a book company that makes books for Games Workshop.
The Hidden Library is a place in Tzeentch's realm in the warp.
2938346
if i remember correctly the black library is also in the fluff as something to do with the Eldar and the webway. idk, i play nids, they don't use any of this fancy cross dimensional stuff.
2939939
Whoops forgot about the Eldar Library hidden in their Webway. Don't know if that one is called the Black Library.
Yes the two are different.
And you just consume everything just because you Hive Mind told you so.
