MLP Fanfiction Audiobook: "Mythic Dawn" by MagnetBolt
notoriousdogfight for Ibis
A sphinx and the most compulsively logical part of the main group, although it comes at the cost of properly understanding interpersonal relationships or, for that matter, non-boolean situations and problems. Her manner of speaking tends to be very definitive - "this is", "this isn't", "this is this and why" or "this is the question I am asking you". A slight Arabic accent would be preferred, but not required.
Approximately 3,000 words total.
“It was easy enough to deduce,” Ibis said, interrupting her as she stepped past them, the ponies moving aside to let the larger creature pass by. “You’re from Canterlot, but not nobility, you were attending school there, and you were important enough to somepony there that they were able to secure a place for you here even with classes nearly full. Ergo you must know Princess Sparkle in some capacity.”
A sphinx with an unanswered riddle was like a manticore with a thorn in its paw, restless and annoyed at the world in general.
“I’m still trying to discover what friendship is,” Ibis said to herself, pacing around her room. “How can we be friends if I don’t even know how to properly define it? It isn’t a word game like a riddle. It’s also not simple proximity. Some creatures grow to hate each other in the same conditions others become friends.”
“Just be confident,” Ibis said. “Don’t dwell on the tiny things you’ve overlooked, and instead focus attention on what you’ve achieved. You’ve made arrangements for what I’m told will be a wonderful celebration.”
