Nothing in a world of knowledge (Patreon)

Nothing.

The quiet of the library felt heavy on Twilight. She had finally put back each book where it belonged after another day of searching for answers. 

She grabbed her paper and crossed off the section she was in. Every day she went through section by section reading every book hoping to find anything. But it always ended the same. 

Twilight sighed and she sat on the floor. Her eyes beginning to feel too heavy to remain open. 

She glanced at the clock, 3:50 in the morning. She had a meeting with Celestia tomorrow about the strange actions of the pegasi. They seemed very nervous staying away from both unicorns and earth ponies. 

Rainbow was going to speak with them tomorrow. 

She didn't want to speak with Celestia. Twilight didn't feel like doing anything now. She felt sick and her skin burned. No spots had appeared yet but she knew it would be any day now.  Twilight knew she had to tell Celestis but didn't want more people to fear knowing one of the princesses got the infection. 

She pondered, perhaps visiting Zecora had been the wrong idea. Thankfully she was safe in the castle now before her home got surrounded by the flowers. But still, the trip gave no answers.

Twilight wanted to cry. But had no energy to even try.

She hated being in a world of knowledge, but when needed the most, had no answers.

This is before Rainbow Dash goes missing and no one knows pinkie is missing yet. Twilight feels incredibly burdened at the moment.
