Typewryter was hard at work in Empress Luna's royal Archives, poring over text after ancient text. He was the greatest translator in Equestria, and he had been tasked with translating every book in the library. The Empress was looking for something in these books, and after each translation, he presented her with a report on what he had found. Now, he translated a very peculiar book. A book that spoke of a power called 'The elements of harmony' It read like a prohecy of some sort.From what he had already translated, it seemed that Luna wasn't supposed to get out of the moon when she had... This was quite interesting, he had never heard this story before... It was dangerous, treasonous. He might be executed for just reading this, and that was his job! Deep in thought, he was startled by a familiar voice entering the library.

Typewryter slammed the book shut and slid it into a pile with others before he turned and called out, "Yes, Empress, over here."

"I-is there something you require, empress?" "Caw!" Munin, Type's raven, sat perched on the horn of a bust of Luna herself beside him. "Munin! that wasn't nice!" "Caw!" "Yes, I know I'm busy, but the Empress is more important than my work!"

"It's just...I'm concerned she may possess a force that is dangerous to our empire..."

Typewryter froze. "D-dangerous to the empire, your excellence? W-whatever do you mean?" The book had mentioned the Sparkle family, but only in passing; however, Typewryter new this could not be a coincidence.

"I mean, she may be the very incarnation of magic itself..."

Magic. The book had listed that as one of these 'elements of harmony'. Type shared a brief look of concern with Munin before turniing back to the Empress, "M-magic, my lady? What in Equestria would l-lead your excellency to think such a thing?"

"You do realize she's PERFECT at it, right...?"

"P-perfect? well I wouldn't say p-perfect; tremendously talented perhaps, but certainly not moreso than you, your majesty." Typewryter tried to swallow, but his mouth was dry with fear.

"...Is something wrong?"

"W-wrong? O-of c-course not, your excellence..... I just haven't gotten much sleep lately, you know how I enjoy my work, your majesty!" Typewryter chuckled nervously, he knew he was a terrible liar, and he was certain she would see through him. Every fiber of his being screamed for him to just admit the truth, peharps the empress would show mercy if he came forward? It was information that could put down a threat to the empire, he may even be rewarded. But he did not know for sure, not yet, and the historian in him would not allow him to present a half-researched suspicion as fact. He prayed she would drop the matter, "After all, your majesty, translation is what I live for!"
