      by Monochromatic Rarity did not believe in fairy tales. As much as she loved to read them, she knew no dashing savior would come and sweep her off her hooves, she knew no dragons guarded kidnapped damsels in distress, and she was positive the tale of The Princess in the Library was nothing but a myth. Her younger sister, however, begged to differ. “Once upon a time, in Equestria’s distant past, there were four princesses, not just one.” Sweetie Belle’s voice drifted up from the floor below,…

      by Monochromatic “Shining Armor, I… I don’t think he will surrender peacefully…” “Princess Celestia wouldn’t do it if she didn’t think it would work, Twilight.” “But… I’m afraid… If it doesn’t work, Princess Celestia told me I’ll have to… What if I can’t stop him? What if I can’t wield the Eleme—” “Twily, if it comes to that, you will be able to stop him. And remember, Cadance and I will be here to help you always.” “An instant…

      by Monochromatic “Shining Armor, is it true?! Are you ordering the soldiers back to the castle?! You can’t!” “Cadance and I have no choice. You saw how the court reacted to the news! We can’t risk throwing the rest of the kingdom into a panic! We have to think of—” “No! What about Princess Celestia and Luna?! What about Twilight?! They’re out there! You need to send more soldiers to the Ponyville Fore—” “She’s not there! You told us yourself that she was gone!” “I, I was wrong! We…

      by Monochromatic Monday morning arrived to the sound of singing birds and… hooting owls? Back at home, Rarity rolled over in her bed and stifled a yawn. She took off her sleeping mask and looked toward the window, her eyes adjusting to the rays of bright sunlight filtering in. To her surprise, she was met with the sight of a familiar white owl standing on the windowsill, who hooted twice when Rarity looked at her. Elara? What’s she doing here? Never before had Elara actually traveled out beyond the forest…

      ~ Interlude II ~ A Letter to Twilight ~ Cover
      by Monochromatic Dear Twilight, It’s been so long! The war has been over for almost a year now, but you still spend all your time in your “secret library.” How are your wings? It took me the longest time to get used to my new horn when I got it. Hopefully, it isn’t the same for you. We received news of the founding of Ponyville. You probably knew this already, but the farmers living with you there used to be guards at the castle! They retired before the war even started, and I think they lived somewhere near…

      by Monochromatic “Today is going to be great.” Slamming her book shut, Rarity allowed a deviously pleased smile to grace her lips. She spent at least two library visits planning today, and there was absolutely no way it could or would go wrong. Today, she would stop being the only soul to know of Princess Twilight’s existence. Today, she would henceforth be able to face the odd stares with a bit more confidence. Today, she would no longer be crazy. Today, Fluttershy would meet Twilight, and then she’d…

      by Monochromatic “Very well, Princess. I think I have all I need to be allowed into the castle.” “You don’t know how long it will be until you return?” “No, but you shouldn’t worry about that. There is no way to tell the time here, so just pretend it’ll just be a few hours!” “I can’t do that…” “You have to try. I have to go now. My brother is waiting for me, and we need to get there before sunset.” “…Please be careful.” “Princess, don’t look so distressed. It…

      by Monochromatic “Princess, do you think the Spirit’s cursed other ponies?” “I don’t know, but I really hope not. If he did, I’d never… Anyway, shouldn’t you two go home?” “No? It wouldn’t be a sleepover, then! You know, I bet Sis isn’t afraid of him! She’ll teach him a lesson!” “…I don’t even want to think of her meeting him…” “Well, we’re not scared of him! If he tries anything against us, we’ll get cutie marks in Spirit butt-kicking!” “Spirit…
