Phoebe always had a love of books and reading. It came as no surprise that her cutie mark was a book.
Phoebe was also very accomplished at magic, mostly due to her vast knowledge of books.
Phoebe's best and only real friend was the baby dragon, Quill. She didn't get along very well with other ponies, so Quill was often her only company.
One day she gets news that something strange is happening at a local town, disrupting citizen's lives. Being a naturally curious pony, she decides to investigate.
Arriving in Hoofington beach, she encounters something she had only ever read about before: a seapony.
Much to Phoebe's surprise, the seapony spotted her and immediately charged at her. She wasn't too worried until she realized that it could breath fire. She and Quill began running away as fast as they could.
Soon Phoebe was too tired to keep going. She sunk into the sand and covered her face with her hooves. A dark shadow fell over her.
"Hey, are you okay?" Phoebe opened her eyes at the voice. She looked up to see that the figure before her was not the seapony, but a light blue mare. The mare was having an intense stare down with the angry seapony. She glanced back at Phoebe and said, "really, this'll only take a sec."
