"You suddenly fainted while looking at that book, and we and Twilight were at a loss, so we had to ask the Princess for help. The Princess said you were fine, just that you were hit by some unknown magic... Do you know what happened yourself?"
"...I don't really remember. It seems like when I finished the book, everything went black, and then I had a dream about walking in the universe, and then I woke up."
Aurora was squeezing her eyes from time to time while speaking, and Sunset Shimmer noticed this abnormal behavior and asked.
"What's wrong with your eyes?"
"Hmm... I don't know if I'm not fully awake yet, but I feel like things look a bit blurry."
Aurora kept rubbing her left eye; what she found strange was that her right eye's vision was normal, but for some reason, her left eye saw things very blurrily, and there were many strange points of light floating around, making her dizzy.
With no other choice, she had to cover it first, which made it much better.
"The Princess said I was hit by magic, what's that about? And what happened to that book?"
By now, Aurora had already anticipated that there was a problem with the book, but she still had to ask for other ponies' opinions on the specific situation.
Sunset Shimmer's expression suddenly became hesitant. She didn't know where to start, so she had to take out the book and show it to Aurora.
"The Princess said it has already lost its original magic; you'll know what happened once you see it."
Aurora skeptically took it to check, but was surprised to find that there wasn't a single word left in the entire book, and even the editor's name on the cover had disappeared.
"This..."
Aurora couldn't help but widen her eyes; from her perspective, the pages were as clean as if nothing had ever been written on them, with only a few traces of light remaining on them. If it weren't for Sunset Shimmer confirming that this was the original one, Aurora would have thought someone had swapped it.
Before dreaming of the Path Gap, Aurora did vaguely remember the scene of the text crawling out of the book, but she thought it was just a hallucination.
"Clearly, everything you saw was part of the magic."
While Aurora was feeling lost, Celestia walked in. Behind her followed Twilight Sparkle and Spike, who were the ones who sent the message to call the Princess.
They all breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Aurora wake up normally.
Her student had been attacked by magic from an unknown source, and it had happened while she was completely unprepared, so Celestia had to put aside all her current affairs to thoroughly investigate the abnormal situation in the surrounding area before and after Hearths Warming Eve, but ultimately found nothing.
But on that mysterious magic book, she found a very important clue, although this clue pointed the truth in a direction she was somewhat unwilling to believe.
"Flying Light, I am very sorry that you were hurt. But I still have to tell you, because you deserve an explanation. I suspect your encounter might have been caused by my sister."
"What???!!" x 3
Not only Aurora, but even Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle were shocked to hear Celestia's words.
Celestia had left alone to investigate after seeing Aurora and the book; as for the specific reason that led to today's events, the two of them had actually just found out as well.
Princess Celestia actually has a sister? And she left a mysterious magic book to harm Aurora?
It felt like her brain wasn't enough to process it.
