      by Monochromatic In retrospect, she probably shouldn’t have downed that glass of punch. “Twilight?” Cadance’s voice rang in the air as Rarity rubbed her hoof in circles on Twilight’s back. “Are you okay?” “I’m working on that,” replied Twilight, massaging her forehead and looking up. Gathered around a large table, her eyes scanned the plethora of strangers who awaited what she had to say, and… And it was a sobering thought, if she had to admit to anypony but herself and maybe Rarity; that out…

      by Monochromatic “Crazy, ain’t it?” North Ridge looked up from the newspaper, his eyes set on the vendor stacking up merchandise. “Really? I’ve seen crazier things in the West!” he replied, smiling broadly. “A manticore terrified of a mouse, for one!” The vendor shook his head. “The Princess’s gone crazy. I always knew that Castle had secrets.” North intended on replying, but the words caught in his throat as he turned the page. There she was, his charming friend, the word MISSING above…

      by Monochromatic “Tell me more about her, North,” she asked as they walked under the night sky. “About her?” he asked, clearing his throat. “About my Frost Flower, you mean?” “Yes,” she replied, and he noticed she always asked about Frost Flower when she seemed to be missing her Princess the most. “You’ve told me so little of your adventures with her.” He laughed. “Our adventures! We had many, indeed. Did I tell you the story of the bar we destroyed in Eventide Isle?” "There's so…

      ~ Interlude III ~ Behind Closed Dreams ~ Cover
      by Monochromatic In the depths of the Everfree Forest, past abandoned houses, past Timberwolves and frightening beasts, was a trapdoor at the base of a grand old oak tree. Blue magic delicately surrounded the handle and pulled. Dirt and dust rose into the air when Rarity opened the trapdoor. She stepped back, trying to protect her coat from the mess. When the dust settled, she had no choice but to remain there for a moment, taking in the implication of dirt and dust and time collected on the door. She lifted her hoof…

      by Monochromatic “Do you dream, North?” “Sometimes,” he replied. “When I’ve had too much to eat.” “And nightmares?” she asked. “What’s one of the worst you’ve had?” “Well,” he began after a moment’s thought, ”I once dreamt that Frost, Tangerine and I were caught by Blood Dagger’s crew during our Silverlake Expedition.” He smiled at her. “What about yourself?” She fell silent until she somberly replied, “A day in Trottingham.” He laughed. “A day in Trottingham…

      by Monochromatic “I can’t imagine it,” North said as they walked. “Having somepony else’s thoughts in my head.” “It is a strange concept to grasp, I’ll admit. Not everypony is fond of having their mind shared so completely, particularly when one has rampant unpleasant thoughts.” "So, what did you do?" he asked, returning their conversation to the story being told. "I hesitated, at first." "Understandable, considering what you told me," he said, eyeing the necklace glowing on her neck. "How was…

      by Monochromatic North settled down next to the fire, taking a moment to blow on his coffee. “Where did we leave off, then?” she asked. “You and your Princess literally embodied your relationship, if I recall correctly.” She laughed. “That we did! That we did.” “If I may ask… what was in that chest Princess Cadance gave Twilight?” “Three dumb rocks.” “Three dumb rocks?” She grinned. “That’s what Twilight called them for a while, at least.” They were rocks. No…

      ~ Act II ~ 12 ~ The Plan of Attack ~ Cover
      by Monochromatic Nighttime had fallen by the time they’d managed to gather everypony inside the war room in Dreamland, all of them seated around the circular table in the middle of the room. Well, almost everypony. “Spike, darling, can you see properly?” asked Rarity, her and everypony else looking at the large dragon eye peering in outside the window. “What?!” said Spike’s booming voice. Rainbow shook her head, trotted towards the window and leaned out. “She’s asking if you can see…
