      ~ Interlude VI ~ A Vision I ~

      ~ Interlude VI ~ A Vision I ~ Cover
      by Monochromatic Rarity dreamt of a unicorn mare called Amethyst Wind. Amethyst reminded Rarity much of herself when she was younger, full of vibrancy and desire for adventures. She was several decades younger than the elderly Rarity, and unlike Rarity, Amethyst Wind was not cursed. “She’s beautiful, isn’t she?” Rarity looked up from her book, smiling at the mare sitting opposite her, busy burying her face in her hooves with what could only be described as a love-struck expression. “I remember being…

      ~ Act III ~ 28 ~ The Three Stallions ~ Cover
      by Monochromatic Dreams plagued Rarity’s nights, like an illness she could not recover from. She dreamt of a strange mare stealing her princess away, she dreamt of her life before finding the library, and ever since Twilight’s last letter, dreams featuring the alicorn had stopped being pleasant. Her life seemed like a dream, truth be told. Passing inconsequentially, day after day. Her actions did not matter, because Twilight was gone. Nearly an entire week had gone by since her second incident in the Everfree…

      ~ Act III ~ 25 ~ The Old Castle’s Secret ~ Cover
      by Monochromatic The train sped through the countryside, heading toward arguably the most important city in Equestria. Inside, ponies moved about, going on with their daily lives. The servers trotted to and fro, pushing trolleys filled with food both sweet and salty. The engineer kept an eye on the unwinding track, while his assistant threw more coal into the engines of the train. The mothers shushed their loud foals, and the fathers read their newspapers. Change usually went like that, didn’t it? Unnoticed by all…

      ~ Act III ~ 26 ~ The Legacy From Long Ago ~ Cover
      by Monochromatic Princess Denza did not say anything at first. She looked beyond the mares, into the room, and then back at Rarity, still completely and surprisingly silent. “Your Highness! We’ll take care of the intruders!” a senior unicorn guard exclaimed, enveloping everypony’s hooves with magic, almost like he wanted to hoofcuff them. “Please return to the throne room until the area is secure!” “Secure?!” Rarity protested. “Have you even looked at us?! I have children with me!” “We’re…

      ~ Interlude V ~ A Filly’s Nightmare ~ Cover
      by Monochromatic Princess Luna hated birthdays. Not hers, though; she had long ago stopped knowing or caring how old she was. No, she hated the birthdays of foals, for they served as reminders of her inevitable fate: being forgotten. She took a deep breath and observed the scenery before her. A lush forest went on for miles and miles, and right in the middle of it gleamed a massive, crystal-clear lake. It was a memory from her foalhood, when she and Celestia once traveled far beyond Equestria and found the secret…

      ~ Act II ~ 24 ~ The Light of the Library ~

      ~ Act II ~ 24 ~ The Light of the Library ~ Cover
      by Monochromatic Rarity sometimes likened Twilight to light. It was a peculiar word to describe somepony, wasn’t it? Or that’s what Twilight would say, at least. She’d roll her eyes and point out that light was a concept, a notion, the result of the sun shining overhead or a candle flickering in the darkness. And yet, Twilight Sparkle was like light. Rarity could be clever and point out that the word itself was inscribed in the alicorn’s name, or that her first name represented a shifting in light between day…

      ~ Act II ~ 22 ~ The Secret of Heart’s Haven ~ Cover
      by Monochromatic Heart’s Haven. A secluded village known for its curious location at the bottom of Galloping Gorge, next to Galloping Valley. Local tourism books stated that many centuries ago, a river flowed at the bottom of the gorge, and it was only after it had dried out inexplicably that ponies founded the town down below. Local ghostly princesses begged to differ, however, claiming that actually, Rarity, Rustle River did not dry out, but was moved underground by Princess Celestia and Princess Luna so that…

      ~ Act II ~ 23 ~ The Library’s Revelations ~ Cover
      by Monochromatic “Oh, Rarity, it’s lovely!” Inside Carousel Boutique, Rarity smiled at her customer and adjusted her glasses. She took the dress she’d spent all morning working on and made a few last-second adjustments. “Yes, it’s quite the design, if I do say so myself!” she agreed, carefully folding the dress and setting it inside its box. “I’m terribly sorry I took so long with it, Spring, but I’ve been traveling quite a lot as of late.” Spring Showers shook her head. “Oh, it’s all…
