      ~ Prologue ~ The Storyteller of Luna Bay ~

      ~ Prologue ~ The Storyteller of Luna Bay ~ Cover
      by Monochromatic On the northwestern-border of Equestria and The Undiscovered West, at the edge of Luna Bay, rested a small forgotten village by the name of Moon Shine. It did not feature on most maps as there was nothing remarkable about it beyond twenty houses, a run-down shop, a small school, a tiny post-office, and an inn older than all of the villagers combined. If somepony had asked North Ridge when was the last time he'd stepped into an Equestrian town, the only truly accurate reply would be thirty-two years ago.…

      ~ Interlude IV ~ An Untold Bedtime Story ~ Cover
      by Monochromatic Apple Crisp was just a foal when he met the Spirit of Chaos. It happened on a normal day of a normal week of perhaps an unusual year. To little Crisp, there was nothing wrong with the kingdom of Equestria. The wars his father spoke of late at night seemed unreal, distant, and it felt to the foal as if Lone Tree Valley was the safest place in the land—right after his old home, Canter Capital. On that particularly normal day, the entire Apple Family had gathered around for an early dinner. Uncle…

      ~ Act II ~ 15 ~ The Kitten and the Butterfly ~ Cover
      by Monochromatic It had been nearly a week and a half since Elara had taken up temporary residence at Fluttershy’s cottage. Rarity thought it a testament to Twilight’s growing trust in them that she didn’t protest—too much—at having the owl away from home. Rarity knew how important the owl was to Twilight, though—and so when Elara was ready to go, she wasted no time in picking her up, telling the Cutie Mark Crusaders “no, for the twentieth time, you cannot come along today,” and heading off to the…

      ~ Act II ~ 14 ~ The Missing Owl ~ Cover
      by Monochromatic “What do you think she’s doing down there?” “I haven’t the faintest idea.” In front of the spiral staircase, Rarity and Fluttershy observed the magical barrier cocooning the stairway entrance to the lower floor with curiosity. The barrier had been there since they’d first arrived, and it prevented them from investigating the loud sounds rattling downstairs. From what Twilight had said the day before, Rarity had been afraid she’d be the only applicant to an intense training regime,…

      ~ Act II ~ 13 ~ The Princess’ Request ~ Cover
      by Monochromatic The sun had already set and by Rarity’s estimates, they were due to arrive very shortly at Ponyville station. The moon shone its silvery light over the landscape, the soft rays of light filtering through the window and into the small train cabin. Rarity, sitting on the right side of the cabin, looked away from the window and toward the pegasus sitting opposite her. Fluttershy stared out the window, deep in thought, and though she never did say much, she was even more quiet than usual. Her…

      ~ Interlude III ~ A Filly’s Dream ~ Cover
      by Monochromatic A lone hooded filly made her way through a solitary forest, wearing a cape far too large for her small body, which dragged on the ground as she trotted along. Any other filly would have been afraid of the creepy forest, but this little filly knew she didn’t have to be; the single most powerful pony in the entire world was watching over her. She trotted toward a nearby tree, staring at the hollowed hole near the top. She couldn’t reach it from the ground, of course, nor could she reach the…

      by Monochromatic Dreams were different for every pony. For some, it was terribly easy to figure out they were dreaming; for others, it felt like a reality where things weren’t quite right, but never wrong enough to alert them to something suspicious. Rarity was part of the latter group, always relishing her dreams as if they were reality. And yet, despite the fact that the scene unfolding before her couldn’t be anything but a dream, it certainly didn’t feel like one. It was as if she had been…

      by Monochromatic “Princess Luna?” “Yes, little one?” “Are you scared of the Spirit?” “Scared? There is not much more he can do to me now, is there?” “He’s a big meanie for putting you… wherever you are!” “Sometimes I fear I’d have become a more terrible creature if he’d not put me in here first.” …Another busy day for Rarity, working away with her sewing machine inside Carousel Boutique. Ponyville could be awfully dull, but today at least she had three dresses to…
