As book grew and trained he took to enjoying the few down times he gave himself. He would enjoy laying on a branch watching over the everfree but today wasn't like the other days. today book woke up in his little hut he had build with his own hoofs went out to get his breakfast, he knew this spot where the sweetest dandelions grew, he would trot there smiling thinking of the sweet taste but when he got there all the dandelions where gone "hmm i could have sworn there seson still had a few days." he would shrug as he went out on his way to where he knew sweet grass grew year round but he gets there and it all baren "what the hey is going on here." book didn't have time to ponder on this its time for his putrole of the everfree but this time he was hungry and distracted he jumped from tree to tree so he can cover a lot of space in a small amount of time and stay away from the animals. "dear luna i am hungry" book said as he would run head first into a tree."ow where did that tree come from" book would hear some pony yell for help he shakes off the hit and rushes to go help them there's a mare trapped by a manticore. "how do these ponies live geting traped like this all the time" book holds his stomach still very hungry but he jumps down any ways between the beast and the pony bucking the manticore in the nose weekly do to his hungry state ut still enough to get the beast to focus on him and not the mare. the manticore swipes at book he ducks and runs the beast giving chase the mare runs off to safety book keeps running from the manticore. "grrr owww"book stops and hold his stomach in pain the manticore catches up to him swipes and hits him hard threw a tree and into another. laying there at the base of the tree not moving the manticore drawing close then the manticore gets hit by a rock covered in strange powder and runs away. a strange figure in a hooded cloak stands over book they pick him up and carries him away. Book wakes up in a strange cottage his rubs hurting he rubs them softly with his right hoof and feels that they ad been bandaged. a soft singing comes from a different room book tries to get up but the pain makes him black out again so he rested.
