"The walls are magic prove," Ink said as he run an inspection throughout the walls, "you can't use teleportation spell, destruction or any other spells."

And after Missy spoke the three words of, "Ignorance is Bliss", the mechanism activated, the stone gate opened slowly just like before. Ink was overflowing with happiness that they all have succeeded on solving another riddle.

@,@,

Stephan turned and saw the gate open. "Huh. Not exactly what I was thinking, but okay." Stephan walked through the gate and saw nothing but... books? Books were everywhere, all over the room's floor's and furniture. "Great. What does all of this mean?" He asked, a little irritated.

[Grand_Finale 529]

Grand hesitated as she entered the next room, not wanting to face another memory. "What's going to happen in this room? Why would someone go to these lengths just to hide the cure" she wondered as she walked into the room, u sure what to expect. She hoped it was easier than the last room

[The Ponyville Critic 304]

Last layer of protection before they would reach the inner sanctum. It was a library, or so it looked. Missy walked slowly because of the gunshot wound. "What does this all mean? I guess it makes sense, the answer to the room must lie within one of the works of Star Swirl, get searching everypony."

[Grand_Finale 529]

Grand scowled. "We could be here for weeks, there must be thousands of books in here" she grumbled, picking up a dusty book with a red cover. "But I suppose if its the only way... What are we looking for, might I ask?" She said, coughing from the dust on the book. " a sentence, a word, what?"

[Geek0zoid 1,468]

"Whatever." Stephan climbed the top of a really tall book shelf. "A library? In an old, dusty shrine? Now I've seen everything." Stephan said to himself. Once he got to the top, he began searching via the book spines. He found a particularly dusty one and took it out. "How about this one, Missy?" He asked, showing her it.

[The Ponyville Critic 304]

"I don't know exactly what we're looking for, but i have a feeling i'll know when i see it." Missy said. "But i can't search through the books with my magic. Wait, maybe i can do levitation." Missy tried but it ended up the same as before. "OK, i can't sort out the books with levitation, how are we going to do this?"

[DustJacket 213]

((The sentence is Small water; it's not enough, too much water, it will flood.))

 

Ink was more interested with the eleven squares on stone walls on top of the gate, "No, riddles?" Ink whispered, "Oh, OH! Yes! The riddles, eleven words." he narrowed his eyes to see for the details that he missed from the eleven squares, "First square, 12, 3, 5, 6"

Numbers, which oddly stated something, "All of this books and numbers..." Ink then received an enlightenment, "Oh, yes, how could I be so stupid! The books the words; page, paragraph, sentence, and word. But which book?" Ink wondered again.

[The Ponyville Critic 304]

Missy then turned to the wall of the "library" behind them, there was something missing, where she assumed words would be.

Then she went into deep thinking.

OK, words, sentences, numbers, there are 11 words to the sentence, 11 different words in 11 different books on 11 different shelves in a library. Wait how do i know it's 11 words, never mind that, i should stop asking.

 

"Search through the works of Star Swirl the Bearded, some of these are blank books too. All of his books and scrolls had a cluster of stars on them." Missy yelled to everyone. "Find them in chronological order, too."

 

Star Swirl wrote 11 books, all containing a word in a random palce in the book, confusing many readers, that's it

Grand nodded and looked through the books. A deep blue cover laid on the bottom shelf, barely noticeable among the others. On the cover was an extremely faded constellation. "Missy, I think I found one!" She said, holding it up to show her. "Is this one of his works? The title us so faded I can't read it"

[DustJacket 213]

((Time lapse is optional, if you guys want that...))

"Search through the works of Star Swirl the Bearded, some of these are blank books too. All of his books and scrolls had a cluster of stars on them." Missy yelled to everyone. "Find them in chronological order, too."

"Yes, brilliant, search the books, each selves has one. C'mon time to read!" Ink yelled, but he thought inside his mind, "This will take too long..." he looked back up to the squared and he noticed that each squares has a symbol; a seal like symbol, the first one was a unicorn; second, parasprite; third, a pony standing on two hind leg; fourth, a moth; fifth, a bird; sixth, a dragon; seventh, a whale; eighth, a bat; ninth, an owl; tenth, an eagle; and finally eleventh, an alicorn.

"Okay, everypony, match the seals!" Ink dashed across the ancient library and assisted the others in searching the books.

[Geek0zoid 1,468]

@, 

Stephan looked through the shelves. "Find all eleven books? With eleven words? On eleven shelves? AND in chronological order? Why so specific???" Stephan was ready to pull he hair out when he found books two and three. He walked back to Missy and threw them on the ground. "Books two and three. I checked."

"Because, Stephan, he wrote 11 books in total, each containing a word, a word which will probably be part of the finished riddle, aren't i the best?" Missy asked rhetorically. "Ah, good, you found them, Grand, bring the book over too, you're a unicorn start searching through the found books to find a word that appears to be out of place."

[DustJacket 213]

"I'll search the fourth shelf, find a moth..." Ink pointed each book one by one trying to find a seal in the shape of a moth, "Aha! found one. And the numbers are..." Ink went back to the wall carrying the book he looked at the numbers which shown; 89, 8, 19, 1, "Okay." Ink began counting the pages, and counted the paragraphs, sentences, and the words as well. Shortly enough, he found it, "Fourth word... it is 'it's', the word is 'it's', one down thank you reading hobby."

"Use the clues, if you can; if you can't then find the ones that are misplaced, with that we could do it a lot faster."

@,

"I'm beginning to hate the humans that lived here..." Stephan looked through the shelves and found another old-looking book. It was written by Star Swirl, at least he assumed. The hand-writing was the same. He brought the book to Missy. "Look through this. There might be something."

[Grand_Finale 529]

Alright, I'll look through the first one.... Why that's odd, this word here makes little sense. Small. Is that the word you're looking for, small?" She asked, showing her the page with the nonsensical word. "I think that's it! My, this isn't as difficult as I thought" she said, writing the word on a blank piece of paper

[The Ponyville Critic 304]

Fire Horn stood up. "I found a book, it has an alicorn on it."

Missy cheered triumphantly. "Yay, bring it over here!" Missy yelled. "Me and Grand are searching through the books."
Fire brought the book to Missy and went back to searching.
"OK, 23, 4, 2!" Missy said quietly, looking through the book. "Flood!"

[Geek0zoid 1,468]

While the group was messing around with the books, Stephan took out the device and fiddled with it. While fiddling, he noticed a few rows of number keys "What is this? A cell phone from the future?" Stephan thought to himself. He assumed it would be needed in order to reprogram the mech.

Zeta had noticed Stephan playing with some sort of device, so he walked over to investigate as well. What he noticed was the same as Stephan did, a few rows with number keys and a screen. It was oddly shaped, and seemed fairly futuristic as well so he looked up to him and pointed to the cell phone.

"Hey, you mind if I take a look at this? :3"

After looking at the cellphone, he walked up to Grand who was looking at books and tapped at her back to get her attention. "Uh, hey Grand. I thought about what we.. I did in the previous room before. I don't know if you liked it or not, but I couldn't really help myself..."

[Grand_Finale 529]

Grand looked up from the book. "well, I suppose it was... it was fine" she said quickly, her red blush returning. she looked over a Stephan guiltily. she could only imagine how she was making him feel, though she couldnt deny she had developed feelings for both of them

[The Ponyville Critic 304]

"You two, there's time for lovey-dovey stuff later, but right now we've got to work, isn't that right guys?" Missy said.

"Yes, that is right, we are working right now...." Fire fumbled around books. "I think. Also, i found another book." He said, throwing the book to Missy, it hit her in the face.

[Geek0zoid 1,468]

@,

Stephan got up and sighed. "You're right, Missy. I need to focus on the task at hand." He said with a smirk. "I'm gonna go look for some more books. Look through the three I gave you. I'm pretty sure they were books two, three, and six." Stephan began looking through more shelves.

[Milk Wave 454]

Grand looked up from the book. "well, I suppose it was... it was fine" she said quickly, her red blush returning. she looked over a Stephan guiltily. she could only imagine how she was making him feel, though she couldnt deny she had developed feelings for both of them

"That's um, good then.. I honestly didn't know what I was doing there, but I just wanted to cheer you up and that was the first thing to come to mind." He was going to talk a little more, but was interrupted by Missy.

Zeta turned back to her, giving a little nod and looked around for the books that were necessary to get through the next door. Though on occasion, he would look up and smile to Grand before going back to what he was doing.

[Grand_Finale 529]

Grand turned back to the book she had. "found another word! I believe its water, again. "She said, adding the word to the collection they had. "How many words is hat now? we must be halfway through!" she exclaimed, happy to be done in this incredibly boring room
