Sonic is exploring a library and comes across a book titled "The Wonder of Equestria". "Well that's interesting" Sonic said to himself as he checked for a description, As Sonic examined the book, he could feel an odd sensation coming from within his stomach. Almost as if something was pulling him in. The description was written in words too obscure for him to understand, but there was a picture of a beautiful landscape painted entirely in pastel colors. Whatever it was about the book that grabbed his attention, it was something he couldn't explain. "Let's hope this doesn't end up like CantorLot and Arabian Nights" Sonic shakes his head as he remembers what happened
He remembered Excavator, becoming the next King Arthur, rewriting Arabian Nights, Shara, defeating Erazor with the seven world rings, the list of craziness just wouldn't stop. No matter where he went, it seemed like trouble always found him. So he cautiously looked over the book, trying to gauge whether this was going to be another one of those times. But he couldn't pass up the opportunity to explore another world, even if it meant dealing with yet again more lunacy. He checked the book out and headed home in a Sonic second. As soon as he arrived, he curled up on the couch and began flipping through the pages, looking for anything that might give him a clue as to what kind of world he had just immersed himself in. The descriptions were just as cryptic as the ones he had seen in the library. However, the pictures were absolutely stunning. The landscapes were filled with forests that stretched on for miles, mountains that touched the clouds, rivers running through canyons of colorful rock... "Whatcha got there?" Tails said as he saw Sonic on the couch. "I saw a book called 'The Legends Of Equestria', I thought I'd check it out." Sonic replied, showing his friend the book. "Ahh, the wonders of Equestria, eh? Sounds like it could be interesting." Tails teased. It was no surprise that he was interested in anything to do with adventure or exploration. "Yeah, just take a look at these pictures!" Sonic pointed enthusiastically as he flipped through the pages. "Twilight Sparkle, a studious unicorn, travels to Ponyville to learn about friendship at the urging of Equestria's ruler (and her mentor) Princess Celestia. Twilight and Spike, her dragon assistant, become close friends with five other ponies: Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie. Before founding Equestria, the three major pony types—Earth Ponies, Unicorns, and Pegasi—were separate tribes, The country seemed to be a loose confederation of city-states and small kingdoms in its early days, with no central government but instead smaller ones such as the Pegasus Kingdom. At some point, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna founded the Kingdom of Equestria, uniting the entire realm under the duel-rulership." Sonic said as he read the description
"Are you sure you didn't accidentally get this from the kids section?" Tails joked, Sonic laughed, "Don't worry, this is in the fantasy section." As he continued reading, Tails couldn't help but notice just how intrigued Sonic was by the book. It was clear that the young hedgehog felt a sense of wonder and excitement as he read about the world of Equestria. "This sounds like a pretty fascinating place", Tails said curiously, "I wonder if it's really as magical as it sounds." Sonic nodded, "Yeah, it sounds almost too good to be true, doesn't it?"This was quite "however it does sound like something I've heard of before." Tails mentioned. "What do you mean?", Sonic was curious at his comment. "Well...", Tails explained, "...there are legends of a land full of magical ponies who can do incredible things. They say the greatest among them are the Princesses Celestia and Luna. They rule over a land called Equestria and are said to have magical powers greater than any other pony or creature" "just like the book you have" Tails wondered in thought "I'll do more research on it once you're done reading" Tails said then went back to his workshop. As Tails walked away, Sonic was left alone with his thoughts. The stories he Had heard about a land of magic and wonders seemed to align awfully close with the book he was reading now. The whole thing just seemed too coincidental. Was it possible that the legends were true? The only way to find out was to keep reading. Sonic continued flipping through the pages and became lost in the images and descriptions of this fantastical place.
