Ask Skyla

[Fractured 2,684]

"Hi, my name is Skyla.  I'm a unicorn, and 15 years ago, I was found in a basket outside the Ponyville Orphanage. I was raised, there too... Until yesterday, when I ran away. And i'm not going back.

"...I know it's probably not the best idea to stop right now, but... feel free to ask me anything. You can also give me suggestions on what to do; I know about as much about running away as anypony else."

Hi Where are you running to, do you know?

Hi Where are you running to, do you know?

"I don't. I've been around Canterlot a lot, but the ponies at the orphanage are going to search all of the usual places, so I can't stay close. I'm heading farther out; i'll find somewhere to stay."

I see... hopefully you'll find a place to rest soon enough.

 

What was your time in the orphanage like?

"I don't think it's like what you'd expect. Sweet Pea and her husband Split Pea have always been really nice to me and the rest of the foals there. Every other week, they would take us out for ice cream, even though there was twelve of us in all, and they could barely make the time for it. I was happy.

 

...I'm out under a tree outside the Canterlot Library. I can see the stars."

Hey Sky! You like sno-cones?

Do you have an idea of where you're going to go? Equestria can be pretty dangerous for a young mare

[Fractured 2,684]

Hey Sky! You like sno-cones?

"Actually, i've never had a sno-cone. Whenever me and the other foals went to the ice-cream store with Snow Pea and Sweet Pea, they were always out. Sorry."

"...I'm not sure. But, I have to do something. And, I can't go back...

Sorry, it's a little cold out here under the trees. The library in front of me is really pretty, though."

Maybe you should go inside, get a roof over your head for the night?

[J.R. 3,183]

Do you like books? Maybe the library could help you?

I know a lot of ponies who travel Equestria a lot (my self included), some for a living. If your worried about staying near ponyville try going with one of them, worst comes to worst I hear Trixie needs a new assistance.

"Trixie? I think I remember Sweet Pea saying something about her a long time ago...The showpony?"

"Actually, I do. Reading is one of the few things I had to do to do when I had free time back at the orphanage."

"I think you're right. I'm going to go check to see if it's open...

...It is! It's open! But, its dark, and there's no one here. Just a few seats, some stairs, and rows and rows of books...

....What do I do now?"

Why don't you see if you can take shelter from the cold?

You should turn on the lights and have a look around, see if you can find some cover from the cold

"Okay, I found the light switch behind the librarians desk, but I still don't see anything down here. It's just a desk, couches, and rows and rows of different kinds of books from front to back...

 

...I remember this story. The Ugly Duckling. Sweet Pea used to read this to me when I was younger. It was my favorite book..."

Was there anything in particular you liked about it?

That is a good story

Perhaps some light reading before bed?

"...I was young; it was actually just the pictures. But, I guess if I had to pick, it would be the fact that even though the duckling knew that it didn't belong, it never stopped trying. I guess it helped me try to never give up, as well."

"Maybe just a little bit. But, i'm too old for this one, and there are so many books here, I wouldn't know where to start..."

Maybe...at the beginning? Haha!

Well, libraries usually have their books alphabetised. Look for stuff that interests you that way

"Very funny."

"Well, while i'm here, I may as well look up something useful...

...There's some magic books in the back that I can read. I can't understand most of them though, so i'm going to have to stick to the small stuff. Just little tricks for foals, I guess.

 

...Minor Magic for the Miniature Multitudes. A good place to start?"

The "MMMM" book?

[Fractured 2,684]

"Yeah; most of these books are like that, actually. Dubious Divinations, Curious Conjurations... I really don't know why. But, I think i'm going to start on this one now..."

Which one?

Did you have any friends at the Orphanage? And if so, won't they miss you?
