Merry Christmas everyone!

Chapter Two

Allow me to introduce myself. I am the Story-Keeper, caretaker and supervisor of the Aeviternus Bybliotheca. My 'job' is to observe and record all the deeds in the omniverse. Although, I will interfere from time to time if I feel those I observe deserved better. One such example was accompanying me as I gave her a tour of the library.

"How do you keep track of all these stories?" Ashi asked me, practically spinning in place as she tried to take everything in. The poor girl was going to make herself dizzy at this rate.

"It's easy if you happen to know a few tricks," I told her. "Course having some help doesn't hurt?"

Ashi stopped to look at me. "Help? You mean there are others in the library?"

"Of course, of course," I said with a smile. "What's the point of recording all these stories if there's no one to share them with?"

Ashi looked around, as if expecting someone to jump out from behind a shelf. "Where are they?"

"Oh, probably on some of the other floors," I told her. "Say, why don't we go and meet them? Something tells me you'll be spending a good time with them during your stay here?"

Ashi looked hesitant at first. I gave her a comforting smile. "Trust me, Ashi. Those two are nothing but helpful and considerate. I think you'll like them."

After a moment, Ashi nodded her head. It should amaze me how a powerful fighter like her would be so nervous about meeting new people, but given her childhood, it was understandable. I just kept my smile and led her to a flight of stairs at the far, far side of the smile grew into a grin as Ashi looked up at the countless stairways leading from one floor to the next.

"Do we really need to walk up all those stairs?" Ashi asked me.

"No," I reassured her. "I sometimes like walking to enjoy the view. As for the elevator…"

"You have an elevator?" I raised a brow playfully at the relief in her voice.

"That's correct. My own personal Great Glass Elevator," I told her. "A good friend of mine inspired me to create it for my library. Though he's more in the sweets business than literature. But then again, who doesn't like having a little snack as they're reading?"

"Do you have many friends?" She asked as I lead her to the elevator. For all intents and purposes, it looked like a big transparent box with a button console on the side.

"A good amount," I said as I snapped my fingers, causing the doors to open. I strolled in. Ashi hesitated for a moment but slowly stepped in. I snapped my fingers again and the doors slowly came to a close. "Don't worry. This is perfectly safe. I made sure this thing was thoroughly tested a long time ago."

Ashi nodded. "Okay. Where to?"

I tapped my chin. "Let's check the research floor."

"Research floor?"

"Like the name says, it's where I store my primary research: research on the different worlds I've traveled to, the inhabitants, the technology, as well as my own creations."

"Was your Research Floor the place where you knew how to…bring me back?" Ashi asked.

I cringed. "Yes."

"It's alright," Ashi said, putting a hand on my shoulder. "It's thanks to you and your research I have a second chance with Jack. I would like to see this floor."

"If you're certain," I pressed the button with a golden RF on it. Ashi stood patiently as the elevator started to ascend.

"If they're not on the Research Floor, where could they be?" Ashi suddenly asked me.

"Sadly they could be anywhere," I answered. "I've been meaning to establish a communication system within the library but I always let myself get sidetracked."

"Would establishing a system take long?" Ashi inquired.

"Not particularly," I admitted. "That combined with the fact we've doing well without it, are some of the reasons I haven't made it a priority."

"Well, since it seems I am going to be stuck here for awhile," Ashi said. "You could go ahead and start working on that when you can."

"I'll talk it over with my aides, first," I said.

Just then the elevator slowed to a stop, opening up behind us. Ashi stared down the corridor, eyeing the countless doors on either side. "So, I guess we should start looking?"

"Not quite. Daniel? Xander? Are you here?"

The door on the far left of the corridor opened and out popped my aides. How fortunate for me they were on this floor.

"What is you need of us, Story-Keeper?" Came Kyle's calm voice.

"Come out you two," I answered. "I would like for you to introduce yourselves to our guest. Ashi, I would like you to meet my apprentice, Daniel Jackson, and the guardian of the library and myself, Kyle Xander."

"You have an apprentice?" Ashi asked me. "You have a guardian?"

"The Story-Keeper's library has countless information," Kyle told her gently. "Many power-hungry megalomaniacs would literally kill to get their hands on this place."

"Fortunately we're here to help the Story-Keeper out," Daniel tipped his fedora at Ashi. "So your experiment was a success boss. How come she's not back in her world right now?"

Ashi tilted her head at me. "They don't know?"

"I was able to bring Ashi back into existence but she's currently bound to the library," Both Daniel and Kyle's eyes widened at this revelation. "She has to stay here until I can think of a better solution."

"Funny you should mention that," Daniel crossed his arms. "Now that she's here in the flesh, there's plenty of objects in other worlds that should help stabilize her existence. Surely you could pop over to one of those worlds and use them."

Ashi's eyes widened before turning back toward me. Poor girl was probably wondering why I hadn't mentioned that to her. "I have considered those possibilities. Unfortunately I have to be careful. The gods are always keeping a watchful eye out for me."

"The gods?" Ashi repeated.

"The Story-Keeper has made enemies out of many gods throughout the multiverse," Kyle answered. "They don't take kindly to his meddling, no matter how much that meddling actually helps the worlds."

"They just don't like someone else interrupting their playtime," Daniel scowled, tightening his grip on his arms.

"We'll say no more on the subject for now," I cut off Ashi when it looked like she was about to ask some questions. "We have more pressing matters to deal with. I'll see if there is something, anything in my library that can help Miss Ashi out. Then and only then will I venture out in the multiverse to find something there to aid us. I don't like leaving myself or the library in the open."

"You made sure the library was well fortified, Story-Keeper," Kyle said. "Not to mention what you have given Daniel and myself. We should be capable of dealing with any intruders."

"I don't doubt your power, Kyle," I told him gently. "I just don't want to underestimate that of my enemies."

Kyle nodded before looking at Ashi. "The Story-Keeper has already made sure you were comfortable, I bet. If you need any additional assistance, Daniel and I would be happy to help you."

"It's not often we have visitors in the library," Daniel said, finally putting his hands in his pocket as he relaxed. "Especially those who are actually staying. Kyle already said it but yeah, we'll help you in any way we can."

Ashi bowed politely. "Thank you. I appreciate all you're doing for me."

"We're always glad to help," Daniel said with a grin. Kyle nodded with a faint smile.

It was why I chose them in the first place.

"In the meantime, Ashi recommended we establish a communication system," I said, taking both my apprentice and guardian by surprise.

"You finally want to work on that?" Kyle asked.

"It would make things a bit easier," I said sheepishly. Ashi brought a hand to her mouth to stifle a giggle.

"I don't mind constantly exploring the library but yeah, knowing where everyone else was would be nice," Daniel said, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Then it's settled then, we'll get started right now."

Daniel and Xander nodded and went back to the door they had come from. Ashi was eyeing another door on the left. I chuckled to myself as she opened the door a crack and peeked inside. I could hear her gasp at the contents of the room.

"What are those…creatures?" She asked, more to herself than me.

"Those are Pokemon," I said, taking a peek inside too.

"Pokemon?" Ashi repeated.

"Pocket Monsters," I said as I watched my dear Charizard and Salamence flying in the vast room together as my Primarina splashed water with my Inteleon. "Creatures from one of the many worlds I visited," I said, chuckling as Gallade and Scyther were having a sparring match with each other while several of my other Pokemon watched excitedly.

"Why are they on the Research Floor?" Ashi asked me.

"Force of habit," I answered her. "Pokemon live in a world full of scientists who love to study and learn all they can about these creatures. Many pokemon are very powerful. The most powerful can control aspects like time and space."

Ashi gasped. "Could those Pokemon possibly help me?"

I stroked my chin in thought. "To my knowledge Dialga and Palkia, the Pokemon of Time and Space respectively, have never had to deal with someone who was erased from existence. But there is one I could consult; one more powerful than any other Pokemon in existence. The God of Pokemon most call him."

"God," Ashi murmured. Then she looked up at me hesitantly. "If you don't mind me asking, Story-Keeper, why are you enemies with gods?"

I sighed. "I should have known you would ask about that. But very well. For now, let me just say that during my travels I noticed how cruel and sadistic many gods were to mortals and other lesser beings. Some did indirectly and unintentionally, while others actively sought new ways to cause more torment. A good amount of them are nothing more than overgrown bullies, who think they don't need to be held accountable because of their power. I couldn't sit by and allow that to happen."

Ashi was looking at me differently. I wondered if perhaps she was thinking of Jack and the way he helped others. The smile on her face and the far-off look in her eyes was all I needed. I myself was flattered, if she was indeed comparing me to Jack. He was a good man and a noble hero. That made me more determined to help reunite them. Almost instinctively, I reached into my pocket and pulled out one of my most treasured possessions.

"What's that?" Ashi asked, staring at the sun medallion in my hand. I smiled fondly at it before pocketing it again.

"Another story for another time," I said. "But let's just say, I know what it's like to be in love."

Ashi gasped, covering her mouth. "I-I'm sorry,"

"Don't be," I reassured her. "My love is very busy so I leave her to her work most of the time. But I always make sure to pop in when I can."

"What's she like?"

"Kind, caring, but can be very stern when she gets upset," I said, thinking of my beloved fondly. "But sometimes she has a habit of thinking everything will work out without taking extra precautions." I laughed. "And she thinks I don't over prepare for things. Maybe that's why she and I get along so well. Opposites attract and all that. Anyway, we should get to work first. Then we can pass the time telling you stories about some of my adventures. I'm certain you're curious about Daniel and Kyle."

Ashi smiled, lowering her head sheepishly. "Was I that obvious?"

"I'm good at reading people. Before you ask, that was not a pun, or at least an intended one."

Ashi laughed at that, which made me happy. While not as idealistic as my love, I am a sentimental sort. I enjoy making people happy. Perhaps one day I'll share the stories within my library to the rest of the multiverse. Maybe learning more about each other can help promote better understanding amongst the multiverse. I'm not like those Keybearers and their World Order. I'm well aware of the risks of worlds knowing about each other, especially if my enemies actually dared pull some kind of alliance against me. Sooner or later however, worlds collide. I'd rather people be aware of this and prepare as best they can, rather than live in ignorance and be caught off guard."

"They come from a very special world," I told her. "That story in particular is one I shall save for last."

"Do you do that so people will be eager to hear your stories?" Ashi asked playfully.

"Not in particularly," I said. "I don't mind keeping others in suspence, but make them wait too long and they'll lose interest."

"So you won't have me wait too long?" Ashi retorted cockily.

"I wouldn't dream of it," I said. "I would never deny someone a good story."

Ashi chuckled. "Then I will use that as motivation to help you find the solution. That and finally being together with Jack."

"As you say," I nodded with respect. "Follow me, my dear."

We walked down the halls to the Archives, which contained all my notes, blueprints, and formulates. I would scour through all of them. Although there were possible solutions out there in the multiverse, I had to be careful. My enemies could and probably were looking for me. For now my library and its contents were safe. Some would want to use that knowledge for their own twisted benefits, others would want to destroy my library out of spite. I was grateful they hadn't done greater harm to the mortals as revenge by proxy. Yet.

I ran a finger along my pendant and the thoughts of my love gave me some comfort. I hadn't seen her in some time, I wondered what she was doing. Once I had an opportunity, I would visit her. I missed her dearly and a second opinion would be gladly welcomed.

I swore to myself that I would reunite Jack and Ashi for good. No one deserved to be separated from the one they loved. Even someone like I know that life's not fair.

But I don't mind tipping the scales a bit.

End of Chapter

Hello everyone. I am Discord: Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony. What am I doing on Bigby's Author's Note? Well, since FrIEndship iS MaGic is ovEr. Bigby inVited alL the chAraCters, including yoUrS truly tO spENd tIMe WiTh hIm. He wanted

Discord! Stop messing with the words and write normally! You're gonna give readers a headache.

Oh very well. Spoil my fun. Anyway, Bigby wanted to write a story about his pastimes with us characters of Friendship is Magic.

I was going to call it MY Little Pony Life, as a playful little jab at that upcoming mini-series with the chibi ponies. Just me spending quality time with my Pony Pals. Sadly, I've been so busy that we haven't done anything fun or exciting to write about.

A pity. I could liven things up a bit.

No, Discord. Your chaos would be too random for me to write about.

Well that means you just need to work on your writing skills a bit more. Oh and speaking of busy, you might want to explain to everyone why you're just NOW getting to posting your chapters. I mean, with all that fanfare you did back in October, I'm sure people were expecting you to bust them out like there was no tomorrow.

Good point. Yeah, shortly after I posted that chapter, it was as if Fate decided to put me to the test. Several people have quit or got fired. So we've been busier than usual. That and I've been caught up in playing Pokemon Sword.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. For shame, Bigby. I know people say better late than never, so I suppose we could call it a blessing that you posted again some time this year.

Don't remind me. Anyway, I have a question for any potential readers in this story. Would anyone be interesting in doing a crossover between My Little Pony and Game of Thrones.

Game…of Thrones? Bigby, why in the world would you want to cross that show of all things with My Little Pony?

I wanted a story where one of two things happen:

Tirek was sent to Westeros. After absorbing the magic of the White Walkers that attacked the Black Brothers at the beginning of the series, he gains the gratitude of Lord Stark and offered hospitality in Winterfell. Although annoyed that this world has much less magic than Equestria, Tirek is eager for power and decides to play an ally of the Starks. But when he realizes that war is on the horizon, Tirek will make his own moves in the Game of Thrones.

Why Tirek in particular?

Chrysalis and Sombra are more powerful than any force in Westeros. If they were sent there, they would rule it too easily. With less magic for him to absorb, Tirek will be forced to rely more on his cunning and physical strength. Absorbing the magic of the White Walkers made Tirek strong but no where near his full power, hence Tirek realizing he'll need to play the role of ally until he can get more power. And before you ask, I was never fond of Cozy Glow. If someone CAN find a way to use her then they can go for it.

Fair enough but at least Chrysalis makes a better manipulator compared to Sombra. He's clever but I can see him taking over everything through force. Chrysalis would actually use deception and pitting the houses against each other. And possibly be the one pony who gives that Littlefinger fellow a challenge. Oh, why not suggest that I get sent there? Let the Nobles play their Game of Thrones while I turn Westeros into my new playground?

Well, if the writer decides to use someone else, I won't blame them. I just felt that Tirek would be a bit more of an underdog since he can't quite become as powerful as he wants to be and therefore needs alternative means to secure power.

What was the other option?

That Grogar was banished to the Game of Thrones world after Gusty the Great stole his bell. Spending time learning about this new world and trying to regain what power he could, Grogar sees an opportunity when he learns the Seven Kingdoms are at war. He approaches Daenerys and proposes an alliance.

Hmm. Sounds more of a teaser one shot idea than a full story.

I can see that. I was thinking that not only was Grogar banished from Equestria but also his city from G1, Tambelon, was sent with him. It was sent to Bravos or Essos, feared by the inhabitants who see it as a city of evil. One day as Daenerys tries building up her forces to invade Westeros, emissaries from Tambelon, Grogar's G1 minions the Troggles, approach her. They lead her to the city and Daenerys meets Grogar. He plays to her sympathy, explaining that they are both the 'rightful' rulers of their respective realms usurped by others. As the Mother of Dragons, it is only fitting that she joins forces with the Father of Monsters.

I couldn't help noticing that you're selecting the villains as the main characters for these crossover ideas. Any particular reason?

Game of Thrones is a bit too dark for Twilight Sparkle and her friends. Plus it's a series that deconstructs the typical fantasy elements. I'm sure that the Magic of Friendship would be too out of place there. But for villains from a series where the heroes are always meant to win, Westeros is a place where they finally could for a change.

Hmm. Why not have it that after our show ended, a portal sent Chrysalis, Cozy Glow, and Tirek to Westeros? They're forced to work together to find out where they are and what they are supposed to do next. Once they realize they're no longer in Equestria and they have no idea how to get home, they decide to make the most of it by taking over Westeros instead.

…If someone can actually pull off a good story with that idea, sure. I just feel having those three together might make things too easy. That's always been one of my pet peeves with Game of Thrones crossovers. Most of the time they involve a character from another universe ending up in Westeros and everything is in their favor. I feel the only way to balance things out would be if Chrysalis was weakened somehow since she's the only one with power after they were defeated.

Well, if someone decides to roll with that idea, you could recommend that Chrysalis, Cozy Glow, and Tirek were sent to different parts of Westeros. So they're forced to rely on their own abilities until they meet up again.

Good point.

Well, Bigby. I think you've kept the readers long enough.

You're right, Discord. Bye everyone! See you at the next chapter. Again, Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, everyone!
