You thank Twilight Sparkle for the advice. Then, just in case, you ask if she knows anypony who would be able to help organize a festival.

Twilight Sparkle: "Should it come to that, I have a friend who has experience with that sort of thing. Her name is Lemon Hearts, and she works as an event organizer in Canterlot."

Moonflower: "Oh, we met Lemon Hearts in Coltswell! She's one of Moondancer's friends, too, right?"

Twilight Sparkle: "She is! So you're already acquainted? That makes things a little easier. Well, I say that, but if the festival is tomorrow, then that doesn't leave a lot of time for preparations.

Still, it's good to have a backup plan. For now, though, I think if you focus your efforts on getting that medicine, then everything will be alright. And if that doesn't work out, then we'll do everything can to help."

You nod gratefully. With that settled, you decide to take the princess's recommendation, and ask about the books on Yggdrasil.

Twilight Sparkle: "Of course. Just ask my assistant Spike, and he'll bring them out for you. I'd do it myself, but I really should get back to work."

Your party thanks Twilight Sparkle once again for her time, and bids her farewell.

Twilight Sparkle: "Alright, take care! I hope to hear more from your adventures sometime. Oh, and say hello to Zecora for me when you see her."

You say that you will, and exit the throne room. Not far beyond the open doors, the small dragon from earlier leans his broom against the wall, and waves you over.

Dragon: "I thought I heard my name. Are you guys headed to the library?"

You nod, at which he gestures for you to come along. You follow Spike upstairs to the castle's library, where as you arrive, you find is largely unfrequented once again.

Spike: "So, what kinda books are you looking for?"

You tell Spike that Twilight Sparkle mentioned having a few books about the Yggdrasil tree.

Spike: "Yggdrasil? That sounds familiar. Give me a minute, and I'll take a look at what we have."

You watch as the dragon begins to browse one of the library's vast sections. He flies across with a claw pointed at the labelled spines, pulling a book off the shelves here and there. Soon, he returns with three old-looking tomes.

Spike: "Here's what I found. Take a look, and if you wanna borrow any of them, I'm your guy."

The dragon places the books on a nearby table, and you give each one of them a once-over.

* The first book is The Emporium by Sunset Sail, a collection of short stories based on interactions with otherworldly vendors in a marketplace found beneath the Yggdrasil tree's boughs, centuries ago.

* The second book, Chronicles of the Nine by Elegy Whitewhiskers, compiles various works translated from Old Ponish about events relating to the realms found beyond Yggdrasil's doors.

* The third book, simply titled Yggdrasil by Scholar Rosetta, recounts the legend of the very first earth pony, as written on ancient Midgardian runestones, long lost to the depths of the sea.
