A Humans Understanding Of Love And The Secret Book
---------- 12:30 AM, Concert Hall ----------
“Bravo! Bravo! Well done!” I yelled out as I clapped my hands together to the last performers of the night, a band called Manes and Strings and they were really good. The rest of my group were also cheering and applauding not only for them but for all of them in the show, While the band was walking offstage I saw Fancy Pants walk in from the other side and proceeded to wait for the audience to calm down before talking.
“Mares and Gentlecolts! Once again I wish to thank you all for coming out tonight to support these fine musicians! If you wish to hear more of them then be sure to pick up their schedules by the exit, once again thank you all so much for your patronage! Good night!” he concluded with a short bow before exiting stage left. I had to wait for Pinkie to get off before I could stand and when I did I stretched out my back a little to get rid of the soreness.
“So Adrian, what did you think?” Cadence asked while she was also stretching out her limbs.
“It was amazing! Your music here is very well done and sounds different from my music back home, I really enjoyed myself” I said to her.
“Who was your favorite?! Mine was Treble Tails! How they used their magic to make their tails play instruments was super amazing! I want to do that too!” Pinkie excitedly said as she bounced around.
“Shoot, ah think ma favorite band were Barnhooves. Their music really felt like home” Applejack replied.
“I personally enjoyed the solo violinist Windsey Stirling, her music was really beautiful and energetic!” Twilight said.
“Eh, all of them sounded good. Can't really say I like one or another” Rainbow simply stated.
“My favorite was the last band Mane and Strings! How about you sweety?” Cadence asked Shining.
“Oh! Um, well if I had to choose I would say Windsey Stirling as well. The combination she did with her music and physical movements were very interesting and she sounded great as well” Shining sounded surprised at first that she had asked but he recovered quickly.
“That's good to hear, so Adrian? What about you?” Cadence asked me again.
“Well, I liked them all but the one who stuck out the most to me was Octavia. Her music synched with me when she struck her first note. It was beautiful” I honestly said with a smile.
“Uh oh, sounds like you got a crush!” a familiar voice said and we all turned around and saw Vinyl standing there with a smirk on her face “Can't say I blame you, she is very pretty”
“Good to see you too Vinyl” I said with a sigh but continued to smile “What are you doing over here already? I thought you asked for us to meet you downstairs?”
“Yeah, that was the plan but as soon as the show ended I booked it over here to get away from those snobs I sat next to. Sweet Celestia were they dim witted! They wouldn't know good music even if it hit them! The only one they said was good was that one band called Both Directions, just a bunch of pretty colts trying to sing if you asked me but to them they were the next Manecheal Hoofson!” Vinyl explained.
“Manecheal Hoofson? Who is that?” I asked.
“He was a really popular singer who defined a generation of music! Sadly he died a few years ago, one of my favorite songs of his was Chiller. A great song for Nightmare Night!” Vinyl told me.
Wait, wait, wait, Manecheal Hoofson? Chiller? This is sounding kinda familiar “Chiller? Did this song have a performance about dancing zombies?” I asked.
“Yeah! It did! How did you know that?” Vinyl asked while I face palmed myself.
“Just a human hunch I suppose” I said in a defeated tone “Anyway! Lets get going backstage!”
“Eager to confess your love to Octavia already? You sly dog!” Vinyl jested as she hip checked me. I simply gave her a look and she started to laugh “Just kidding big guy, just kidding. Follow me every pony!” I let out blatant cough “And Adrian” I simply rolled my eyes while a few of the girls laughed. We followed Vinyl backstage and stopped at a closed door, which Vinyl knocked on a few times.
“Yo Octavia! You ready for some company?!” Vinyl loudly asked.
“Come on in!” Octavia replied. With her answer Vinyl opened the door and led us inside the room and up to Octavia who was packing her personal belongings and musical gear. She stopped packing as she noticed the two Princesses walking up to her and immediately gave a bow.
“P-Princess Cadence, Princess Twilight! It is an honor to meet you both! I hope you enjoyed the show!” Octavia nervously said.
“No need to be so nervous Octavia and yes, we all enjoyed the show immensely” Cadence said.
I saw Octavia give a sigh of relief and her posture became more normal and relaxed “That is wonderful to hear!” she said with a smile.
“And I think you got yourself a new fan and admirer!” Vinyl quickly said.
“Oh ha ha, very funny Vinyl. Who is it this time? Your right side of your shades? The seat you sat on?” Octavia said very skeptically and with no humor in her voice. Guess Vinyl teased her with this one a lot.
“Nope! Big guy here!” Vinyl said as she smacked my leg a bit which caused me to stumble forward a bit “Let's see, how did you say it? AH! You said 'But the one who stuck out the most to me was Octavia. Her music synched with me when she struck her first note. It was beautiful'” she said as she tried to mimic my voice. I was going to say something but I saw Octavia start to blush a little.
“Did you really think so?” Octavia asked me but didn't look up at me.
“Well, yeah. Your music stuck out the most to me and I really enjoyed it and would love to hear it again if I could” I told her which made her blush a little more but she finally looked up at me with a big smile.
“Thank you so much! I really appreciate hearing that and a small part of me is relieved” Octavia said.
“Relieved?” I asked.
“Yes, to be honest I was kinda nervous how my.... how Equestrian music would sound to you since you came from another world. I thought that maybe our music and sounds would sound bad to you. But hearing you say that my music synched with you and sounded beautiful puts me at ease and I am very happy to have pleased you” Octavia explained.
“Well it was an honor to hear you perform Octavia” I said to her with a smile and I think she blushed a little more. But before any one else could talk I felt a new weight cling to my back and a head lay on my shoulder. I glanced over and saw a pouty Cadence looking back at me. “Can I help you?”
“You've been giving her all your attention and I have gotten none! Being all flirty and nice and cute, which I don't mind so long as it is to me” Cadence said in a sad voice but I felt myself getting a little flustered.
“I am not being flirty! I am just complimenting Octavia-” I started to say.
“OH! Complementing Octavia? I knew you had a crush” Vinyl said as she walked over to Octavia and gave her a wink by sliding her shades off a little. Now Octavia started to get flustered.
“YOU GUYS! UGH!” I cried out loud before I covered up my face and took a deep breath. “I am simply letting Octavia know that I really enjoyed her music and that I enjoyed the show. OK?!”
I heard Rainbow start to laugh behind me “They know but they are taking advantage of your flustered state big guy. It is hilarious!” she cried out before busting out laughing again before being joined by Vinyl and I even heard Cadence giggle a bit. But what happened next surprised me a bit as I heard Octavia stomp her hoof loudly.
“You all need to stop this at once! It is not funny to take advantage of someones feelings! Adrian here is simply being honest and nice and you all are making fun of him! I don't mean to insult you Princess Cadence but I simply had to say something!” Octavia declared with a serious face.
“You are right Octavia and I apologize to you both. Vinyl, Rainbow, we all need to respect his feelings and simply let things be. Will you both accept my apology?” Cadence seriously asked Octavia and I. I looked over at Octavia while she looked back, we both nodded and smiled.
“Yes, of course. I know you guys were just messing around but I think you may of taken it a bit too far” I explained.
“I agree with you Adrian. But” Cadence said.
“But?” I asked in return.
“But I just couldn't help myself seeing how cute your reaction was! You are so adorable my cute human!” Cadence said as she hugged a little tighter and nuzzle my neck a bit. I simply let out a sigh before reaching up and petting her mane a little which of course got a content sigh from her.
“Well, I think we should probably get going before she says anything else embarrassing” I said before I knelt down on one knee and extended out my hand “It was an honor and a pleasure to meet you and listen to your music Octavia”
Octavia gave me a gentle smile “I am happy to of met you Adrian and I am ever grateful that you enjoyed my music. Here, let me give you this” she said before she went over to her bags and grabbed a card and wrote something down “This is my card and I wrote my normal address as well as a note on the back making you a VIP to all my future shows”
“Wow! Thank you so much Octavia! I hope this means that I can call you my friend then?” I asked.
“It sure does Adrian, my first human friend. Take care on getting back tonight!” she said as she waved us off. Outside her room I felt my pant leg being tugged on and I saw Vinyl smiling up at me.
“Way to go big guy! You made a really good impression on Octavia, I can tell. Be careful with that card though, lucky guy” she teased me yet again but I simply smiled and gave her a goodbye hug and with Cadence still on my back we all headed out and only had to wait a barely a minute before our taxis showed up and we all rode with the same ones we came here with.
“Well, aren't you just a cute stud? Getting a mares address? Wonder if she likes you~” Cadence said as she swirled her hoof in a circle on my shoulder. “Is she the first address you've gotten?”
“No, she is actually the third. Vinyl gave me her address first BUT before you say anything it was just like Octavia did, so I could get a VIP pass to their places” I carefully explained in hope none of them would tease me.
“I understand, BUT What. About. The. Second. Address?~” Cadence slowly asked.
“Oh, yeah. Well the second one is from Derpy in Ponyville. She gave it to me before I left to come here” I told her in a calm voice.
“OH reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally?” Cadence said in a happy tone as she heard this juicy new information “Tell me more! Tell me more!”
I was about to say something when I felt the taxi lurch to a stop “Here we are! The Crystal Castle!” said the gruff voice of our driver.
“What?! Already? But it was just starting to get good” Cadence sadly said but I reached up and petted her head which got her to smile again. “Alright, I guess I can find out later”
So I opened the door for them and we all headed inside the castle and into the foyer “Ok everypony, lets get to bed so we can wake up at a decent time tomorrow and do more studying!” Twilight explained.
Almost immediately I had a Pinkie foot warmer wrapped around my leg and a Cadence coat snuggling up against me, these ponies are ridiculous, hilarious but ridiculous. So I slowly made my way up the stairs and when I got to Pinkies room I had to pry her off twice, the first time to get her off my leg then the second time because I was foolish to say yes to a goodnight hug. I finally got her off but once I turned to leave I heard her say “Hey Adrian?”
“Yes Pinkie?” I responded.
“Can you tuck me in?” She said and she looked up to me expectantly while her face just pleaded. I am so weak willed but with a sigh I nodded yes so picking her up again I carried her to her bed and once she got comfy I pulled the blankets over her and tucked the sheets around her body while she grinned. “Goodnight Adrian”
“Goodnight Pinkie, sweet dreams” I said as I gave her ear a quick scratch and left her room. Next I walked down the hall and I found Shining waiting in front of their room and was glaring at me a little. So I reached around and was able to get Cadence off my back and placed her next to her husband “Goodnight Shining, goodnight Cadence”
“Goodnight Adrian” is all Shining said before he walked into his room.
“Goodnight Adrian, I guess our little talk is going to have to wait till tomorrow” Cadence said before joining Shining. Letting out a tired sigh I slowly wandered back to my room and sluggishly changed into my new pajamas that I also found in my suitcase, I really owe Rarity big time for this. I glanced over to the desk and spotted my mystery book. I really like the book for its history and magic lessons but the question of how it got here and why still plagued my mind.
I decided to bring it with me tomorrow and show it to the others and ask about it, that would be for the best. But until then I need some sleep since it was already about one o' clock in the morning, so I went over to the bathroom and let out Artemis and after a few minutes of face licking I washed my face and used the bathroom. Once I was done I climbed into bed and was soon joined by Artemis who took residence in the open space between my legs and soon enough I heard the little snore from her, adorable.
Deciding to follow suite I let the cloud bed devour me and I found myself drifting off into sleep and into dreamland.
A nice warm breeze wafted across my face as I sat legs out on top of a checkered blanket with a basked full of food sitting across from me. I stared up into the blue sky and my eyes followed a few clouds and watched them form shapes as they slowly traveled across the sky while the sun gave off a warm tingle on my skin. I felt so good and happy to just be sitting here and enjoying the beauty of the scene, so much so that I almost did not hear the voice calling out to me.
I turned around and I saw in the distance a gray pegasus flying towards me and I smiled at her. I found myself in her embrace as we hugged each other with smiles on our faces and a blissful feeling surrounding us. I don't really remember what we talked to each other about but all I know is that she is smiling and having fun and every so often I find her staring at me and her smile gets just a little bit bigger.
Time just seems to fly by us as we continue to talk about our lives but then we find ourselves on our backs while watching the sky starting to darken but the mixing colors of sunset seem to meld the sky together and when I see them reflect in her golden eyes I feel my face heat up a little but I smile all the same. She notices this but does not say anything and simply lets her face fall towards me and we find ourselves just staring at each other but what she does next surprises me a bit as she slightly extends her hoof out so it rests in the middle of us.
Feeling my face heat up a little bit more I take in a nervous gulp before I extend my own hand out and gently clasp her hoof and I can see her lovely smile grow even more. I watch her eyes twinkle as they stare at my own but neither of us say a single word and just let the moment and feeling overtake us. I wanted to say something but no words came out, luckily it seems that she also has something to say and finds the courage to speak and for the first time I clearly hear her speak as she says “I love you”
I jolted awake and find myself breathing heavy as my eyes adjust to the darkness and from suddenly being forced open, with my eyes I see that I have not woken up Artemis which is good cause she might make a loud noise from being suddenly woken up. I sat up and allowed my breathing to return to normal and that is when I noticed that something wet was on my face, so I reached up and felt small tears falling down my face.
Why was I crying? That was one of the best dreams I have had for a long time, but now that I think about it why was I dreaming of Derpy and her saying that to me at the end? Ugh my head is so confused and my feelings are so conflicted right now, I am happy and fearful at the same time. I need some fresh air before I say anything, so carefully pulling my legs up and around Artemis I silently made my way over to the balcony window and opened them up and walked outside.
Standing on the balcony I looked out into the night sky and let my eyes rest of the sight of the beautiful night sky that was layed out before me. The cool, crisp night air rolled off and around my skin but it felt good and so I closed my eyes and took a deep breath then another before I reopened my eyes and stared at the moon shining down and reflecting off the crystal structures below and around me.
I continued to look up at the moon and that is when I felt the tears start to return and when they did I remembered the dream and I found myself shaking and slightly crying while I leaned against the railing. I don't know what it is but I just can't stop this uneasy feeling about that dream and about Derpy, it's not a bad feeling but not exactly a good one either. I just let the cool night air run its course as I continued in my confusion.
I wonder if Nightingale would come and comfort me again, then again the Night Guards would only come to face nightmares and clearly that was no nightmare so no luck there. That is until I felt a wing slowly drape itself across my back, did she really come? Taking a few breaths I look over and instead of Nightingale I saw sitting next to me Cadence who was smiling at me. “C-Ca-Cadence? What are you doing here?” I quietly asked her.
She gives me a small giggle “Well I felt a strong feeling of love wake me up but something felt different about it so I decided to figure out why and where it was coming from. To my surprise I find the source to be you! So tell me, why is my cute human sitting alone in the middle of the night and crying?” Cadence tenderly asks me. I fell to my knees and turned around so my back was leaning against the railing, Cadence sat down next to me and placed a hoof on my knee.
“I don't know Cadence, I don't know what I am feeling” I tell her.
“Was it some sort of Nightmare?” She asked.
I shook my head “No, it was actually a really good dream but when I suddenly woke up I felt happy and scared and confused”
“Just let it all out and tell me, tell me why you feel those three. Is is about whoever you dreamt about?” Cadence softly asked as she leaned against me a bit.
“Yes, I dreamt about Derpy. The mare who was the second one to give me their address” as soon as I said that I found myself laugh a little “I guess we are gonna have that love talk after all” I gave out another laugh but Cadence stayed silent and instead she reached up and hugged me while she nuzzled my arm a bit.
“Well I am happy cause it was such a nice dream, we just sat together and had a picnic and just talked about things, I don't remember about anything we actually talked about but I know we just talked. She was so happy though and it was like I could feel her happiness radiate off her body and it felt so good”
“After a while we were lying apart on our backs and staring at the sky and the clouds but was actually look at her and was mesmerized as the dawn sky was reflected off her golden eyes and soon she was staring back at me. She reached between us with her hoof and I held he hoof in my hand while we smiled and the final thing I remember was her saying I love you then I woke up”
“I am happy because I do like her and I am pretty sure she likes me too since when she gave me her address she kissed my cheek and flew off. Then when we were on the train and departed I saw her arrive at the station and she followed me until the end of the platform” I explained.
“I understand and from what little Twilight and the others said to me you have been quite an important part in her life recently, doesn't surprise me that she is probably in love with my cute and chivalrous human” Cadence said as she happily nuzzled my arm again but this time I wrapped that arm around her and pulled her close, I could feel her smile as she laid her head against my chest and wrapped us in her wings.
“But I feel scared because I have never really been in a relationship before and I am still unsure on my feelings of dating a different species, also the little incident at the spa also clouds my judgment a little. But I am also scared because I am thinking ahead and I don't want to accidentally hurt Derpy somehow and what the other ponies would do or think if we were together”
“And I am confused because both of those happy and unhappy thoughts are swirling in my mind and I just feel torn and my feelings are all over the place and I just......I just” I could not finish as I felt my tears start to boil over again but in my babble I still continue “I am just so scared because I am all alone in this world and with the timberwolf attack and my sudden magic and my nightmares. Everything is happening so fast”
“My nightmares show me hurting ponies with my magic and I am scared of that the most. I don't want to hurt Twilight or Rainbow, Vinyl, Pinkie, Derpy, or even you. Everything is just so confusing” I finally blurted out before my voice left me and my tears erupted with my feelings that I brought up. Cadence did not say anything again but I felt her hug me tight and she was humming something but I did not notice much.
The two of us sat there in the cool night with her comforting me and me sitting there and unloading my tears. But I was really happy that Cadence was there, just her presence alone was soothing to me and allowed me to feel more. Which is probably why I went a little bit into my nightmare fears but I still held that back a bit, one problem at a time. After what felt like hours I finally stopped and looked down at Cadence was still holding me tight.
I reached up with my arm and began to pet her mane a little which got her to settle in a bit more and while she still hugged me eased up a little. She looked up at me and simply gave me a smile that was warm and almost motherly “Feeling better?” she asked. I simply nodded as I pet her “Do you want to talk about all this now or do you want to wait till you feel better tomorrow?”
“No, it would be better to talk about it now since my feelings are already out in the open” I said to her.
“I understand, well first things first” is all she said before I felt her move and I suddenly felt her place a kiss on my right cheek “That is for being the most kind and sweetest thing I have met in a long, long time. Though some of your feelings may seem a bit silly I understand your fear and I am going to let you know that you have nothing to fear”
“The big thing is you are over-thinking things, being in love or in a relationship is a wonderful thing and no relationship or pony is perfect and there will always be something that has to be worked out. But those moments of conflict and struggle are what brings them together, if you give up and break apart due to them then it means that they were not the one for you. But if you stay and work things through, your bond will be stronger then ever”
“I understand through Twilight that Miss Derpy has crossed-eyes and due to them have made her unpopular and clumsy. While yes those with disabilities have a harder time and the relationship is tough, in the end they are just regular ponies with feelings and dreams and if you treat them as such then your time together will me magical”
“Now this is something that you will have to decide for yourself about dating another species but in my experience and in Equestria it is quite normal to date, marry, and even have kids with another species. I have helped a griffon and a minotaur fall in love and have seen many others like a zebra and a merpony. I am also keeping on eye on Spike and Rarity back in Ponyville, I really hope for those two to end up together. I think they would do well together and I am curious as to what their children will look like” she said with a slight giggle.
“But like I said, your feelings on that will have to come from in your heart, I just hope you make the right choice. And the last thing, about these nightmares of yours” she stopped to hug me a little more and nuzzled my chest a bit “I know the feeling of being scared of your dreams, I have had many dreams where my love has caused other ponies grief or I accidentally cause two ponies to fall in love and they were wrong for each other. One nightmare I had had me making these two fall in love and due to their differences it caused one of them to commit suicide”
She clutched my shirt a bit at that part and when she did I reached over and scratched her ears which calmed her down and I could feel her slunk into me a bit. I felt her smile “Thank you, but yes I have had many dreams and nightmares like that and for a while I never helped ponies fall in love. But I was saved when a couple who I thought were wrong for each other came up and thanked me for helping them. They admitted that they fight a lot but everytime they did they became stronger together”
“Finally as for your magic, the one thing you must know is that yes magic can be scary at times and can feel overwhelming but that magic is you and you control it. It can never control you or force you to do something you do not want to do. If you let it change you then that means you were weak and allowed yourself to get swallowed up. But I know you Adrian and I know that you would never hurt another, you sacrificed yourself to save Fleetfoot, a pony you did not even know”
“And besides, just because I am a cuddle bunny does not mean I am a pushover you know and I can certainly take care of myself mister” she jokingly said as she poked me with a hoof which caused me to laugh as well. “Just always remember to be yourself and you can never go wrong, sometimes life will hurt you but also life can save you and show you amazing things. Did you think I would ever get to meet an alien being from another world who is so cute?” she added another chuckle as she snuggled up with me.
She was right about that, I would of never imagined that I would be transported to another world and meet talking ponies, let alone see dragons and use magic! Yes some bad have happened but so far I have had many more good things happen then the bad, guess I just got so caught up in the confusion that I lost track of things. I wrapped both arms around Cadence and held her close “Thank you Cadence, thank you so much. Guess I just lost track of things in the confusion of everything”
She laughed a bit “Perfectly understandable. You have the privilege of adjusting to a whole new world but also accidentally having ponies fall in love with you. So some things are going to be difficult but you have many friends to rely on and you keep on making more. Like me, and I love you very much” she told me which threw me off balance for a moment.
“Y-yo-you do?” I nervously asked.
“But of course silly, there are different types of love and you have to be able to see which kindes you have. I love you like family and would do anything to help you. I think most of the girls love you as well as a friend, you are very important to us all after all. And of course I think you have a pony or two who really like you and wish for you to fall in love with them” she explained.
“I understand” I said.
“So, do you love me too?” she asked
“W-what?” I stumbled with my words.
“Gasp! Does this mean you don't love me too? Oh boo hoo!” Cadence quivered her lower lip and gave me a pair of sad eyes. Ugh these ponies, I love them so much that it is disgusting. Oh well.
“I-I love you too Cadence, you silly princess” I said to her which cause her to squeeze me tight and she buried her muzzle in my stomach and was giggling madly like a school girl. She is ridiculous how she can go from being serious to silly in seconds. But she was right, there are different kinds of love and I did love her so I simply hugged her and smiled.
“So, now with your love to me declared, is there anything else you wanna talk about tonight?” she said.
I laughed at first but thinking about it maybe now would be a good time to ask about that book “Well, actually there is something. You know how I was asking about that book earlier in the library? Well when I came into my room to get dressed for the concert I found it sitting on my desk, waiting for me. I do not know how but it somehow appeared in my room on my desk with the rest of my books that I brought from Ponyville. Do you know anything about that?” I asked her.
“Hmmm, I am not sure. There is a spell that allows an object to teleport back to their owner if it gets stolen or simply lost but I am pretty sure you don't know that spell and that book does not belong to you. Can you show me this book?” Cadence asked.
“You can actually see it from here, its that red book on top of the desk” I pointed to it and when Cadence followed it she used her magic to lift the book over to us and inspected it with her hooves before she opened the front covers and though I could barely hear it under her breath I heard a gasp but she simply closed it back up and looked up at me.
“I think I know what happened, this book is one of the much older books in the library and back then books were very valuable and rare so in order to allow one to keep their book in case of a robbery or other misfortune spells were cast on them. This spell binds to blood and basically the book could only be given away if either the pony died or verbally relinquished it to the next owner then the next owner would touch a page with a drop of blood and it would belong to them”
“So you probably got a paper cut and accidentally bound the book to you since this book belonged to no one anymore. Just a simple mistake, it would take some time but I could unbind it if you wanted” she offered.
“Well, for the moment I guess it is not bad since I am reading it. So if you will allow me to, I will hold onto it then when I am done I will return it to you. If that is ok with you” I asked.
Cadence seemed to ponder this for a long while but eventually she nodded yes “That is alright, so have you learned anything from it?” she asked me.
“Yeah! It is telling me the history of dragons and the difference between Dragons Breath and Dragon Fire and how to properly use it and conform to your body. I am just about done with chapter three, oh! Watch this!” I slowly rose to my feet after I made sure Cadence was fully off of me and I turned around to face the open space and I repeated the actions and feelings of earlier. Feeling the swirling rise from within and focusing it up and through my mouth with the thought of fire and I summoned a bigger fire that almost roared out of my mouth.
Once I cut it off I look out in surprise, that was way bigger than last time! Maybe it was due to magical spell imprint which allows my inner mind to remember the blueprints for a spell and be able to summon it without actually remembering all the small details. But I shook it off and looked at Cadence “Ta da! Dragon Fire!”
She seemed visibly stunned by this and she even took a step back but she looked at me and shook her head “Sorry about that, I just have not seen that type of magic from anything but a dragon before. Got just a tiny bit intimidated. But that is awesome to see you being able to learn magic so well!” Cadence happily said “Well, I think we should be getting off to bed. And for now lets keep this Dragon Fire a secret, especially from Twilight. She would probably kidnap you and experiment on your body or something. She does that when she finds something she can't explain” she explained to me.
I shrugged and nodded in agreement “That seems fair and it would probably worry them all since we are here to make sure this very same magic won't somehow kill me or anything. Guess that was not too smart on my part eh?” I regretfully said.
“Also true, so for now lets get some rest. We have a big day ahead” she said as she led me back to my bed, she summoned her magic again and used it to lift not only me but Artemis and my blankets up and arrange us accordingly and not even waking up the snoring timberwolf pup. Once I was all tucked in she leaned up and against the bed to look at me “Goodnight Adrian, sweet dreams”
“Thank you again Cadence, for everything. Nighty nighty” I said to her as I felt my tired body slowly slip away from reality and slip back into the land of dreams. Cadence watched me for a minute or two and smiled when she saw my chest rising and falling as well as two sets of slight snores. She then grimly turned her head and saw the crimson book had already returned to the desk where she picked it up from without her help. She then left my room and wandered down to another room.
---------- Parchment and Mail Room ----------
Cadence quietly and quickly made her way to this room and using her magic she lit a candle that was sitting on the desk and using the new light found a quill, ink, and a usable piece of parchment before finally sitting on on the chair to the desk. Dipping the quill in the ink she brought it down to the paper and began to write:
“Dear Princess Celestia,
this is Princess Cadence and I have some news concerning Adrian. He is doing well and he appears to be behaving fine and there are no signs of any magical outburst. Twilight and the girls also appear to be fine and confirm that he is normal. However, I just learned that Adrian has accidentally found a dangerous and ancient magical object. He has found Star Swirl the Beardeds journal 'The Element Within: Spirit Of Fire' and has also been imprinted with it.
He has also been reading and understanding the context within and even displayed the power to summon Dragon Fire. For now I told him to keep it a secret between us and I believe he will keep it. I do not know what this means in the fact that he was able to find it even though you cursed it to be unfindable. For the moment I shall keep on eye on him and make sure nothing develops or anything worse.
Your loving niece,
Princess Mi Amore Cadenza.

Lindsey Stirling reference spotted
Somehow i want to say bad Cadance, i only mean if i would now about a secret letter that i would be a little mad i think, this looks like she had lied a little bit towards him, and if i think about it it is still weird that they don´t want to tell Twilight so much, even now that she is a princess.
I think it would be interessting to see him on a date with Derpy soon or something like that, i don´t remember if you have Dinky in this story too, but maybe Derpy could just make a special delivery to the Crystal Empire or just decide to visit since she is so much in love.
ps: About Cadance, i don´t hate her, but even if they mean it in a good way, i only can think that i would be mad if i would find it out that something is going on behind my back.
Nice chapter, i hope to see more soon

Well, she isn't really lieing but there is something going on between Cadence and Celestia which won't be revealed for a while. As for the Twilight thing that was more meant to be funny and referring to Pinkies Pinkie Sense and how she hooked her up to a machine and what not.
I do not have Dinky in the story yet but I do have a plan for her.
Thank you as always for the commentary!
nice
Still loving the story but no rarity and spike shipping please at least not for another 8-10 years in universe
I was kind of hoping a certain mint green anthropologist unicorn would be among the performers, but I guess I can't have everything, eh?
Why do I feel like she's humming "Matsuri Uta" from Blue Seed here?

Yeah, I have thought about it and I love Lyra but I had just one too many fics about her being psycho and a little too crazy about humans and such so I wanted to take a break. Will probably introduce her later when all the craziness calms down. And if that is what you want her to hum then go ahead!

That's fine. To be honest, I also feel the "human-obsessed Lyra" of fanon's a bit played out. I much prefer the warrior poet badass version of Lyra from Xenophilia, anyways.

Have not read that one yet, one of my many stories in my read it later pile

Well, if you don't mind clop and polygamous Equestria, you'll probably like it. It's got some really amazing worldbuilding and some really heartwarming moments.
And not to mention, my favorite interpretation of Lyra.

I don't really mind and I shall have to bump it up the list then!

You're profile picture is hilarious
Well that is alot more boring of an explanation than I thought...
Also, that seems like a really inconvienent system for unlucky people who get paper cuts often and like to read. I mean seriously...
Never mind, I take my previous comment back.
