Some time had passed since she had arrived in the Crystal Empire, and Trixie had found the place rather…interesting. Yes, it was really beautiful, but she wasn’t as amazed by it as Time Turner or some of the other ponies had, Time Turner’s generally high levels of wonder notwithstanding.
It probably had to do with the ponies that lived there. As a stage pony, part of her living required her to be in-tune with the audience’s attitude. If she wasn’t, well, she got incidents like Ponyville. Because of that, she had a really good sense of just how sad and despairing the ponies of the Empire were. For good reason of course. Being attacked by the ancient evil that enslaved you would put any pony in a down mood. Still, the wonders of the Crystal Empire seemed so much duller when the ponies were downcast and downtrodden.
So when it came time to divide the ponies who had come to rescue the Empire into groups, she had hoped she would have gotten a chance to deal with the ponies. After all, she was an experienced stage magician. Fireworks, lightning, and other mesmerizing achievements of might and magic where what she had to offer. One good show of hers, and she was sure that the ponies of the Empire would be on the fast track to Happyville.
Instead, she found herself in a library, digging through boring old books.
”Bleh, why does the Great and Powerful Trixie have to do the work of a librarian?” she said as she flung yet another book off the shelf and onto the floor.
This library was absolutely huge! It dwarfed anything that existed in Canterlot, including the royal libraries! As far as Trixie was concerned, this place was filled with miles and miles worth of books. She couldn’t even comprehend how there were any trees left in Equestria after all these books were printed! And it was the expectation of miss Princess Mi Amore Cadenza that they were to go through all of these?! Keeping up that spell had done a lot more than tire her out; it clearly made her crazy.
And yet here she was, Trixie, digging through these books as ordered. If Cadenza was crazy for giving the order, then she was probably twice as crazy for following it.
