      Chapter 1

      Chapter 1 Cover
      by Monochromatic The rays of the summer sunlight shone inside Carousel Boutique, offering warmth and light to the alicorn sitting inside the dining room, diligently working on her newest research paper for Princess Celestia. She spent so much of her time inside the Boutique nowadays, she sometimes forgot it wasn’t her home. An assortment of classical music and show tunes could be heard coming from Rarity’s workroom, but Twilight was far too engrossed in her work to even pay attention… or so she wished. Her ears,…

      ~ Act I ~ 05 ~ The Dragon Library ~ Cover
      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…

      A quiet conversation

      A quiet conversation Cover
      by Monochromatic “You have one hour before you die,” he said, staring out the window and into the night sky. He snapped his thin fingers and a clock appeared before him. “Actually, you have one hour, five minutes and thirty-two seconds.” “Why! That’s not a lot,” noted Mayor Mare from her bed, tucked under covers that had always kept her warm. She blinked at him. “And you are?” He smiled. “Death,” he said, wanting to change up the answer to a question he’d been asked thrice already. He wasn’t…

      IV. Absence

      IV. Absence Cover
      by Monochromatic The phone call had been brief. She was really sorry, Daring had said, her voice quite low, but she couldn’t volunteer this week. Thank you for understanding. Ambris hadn’t dared asked what was wrong. She supposed she’d find out eventually. It was a lonely week in the…

      The Musings of… Cover
      by Monochromatic Sitting by a hallway window in Canterlot Castle, Starswirl the Bearded watched life pass him by. Hearth’s Warming Eve was very different now than it was back then, before his thousand year long self-exile. A small celebration meant to honor the recent unification of pony races was now a kingdom-wide event where the holiday’s history did not matter quite as much as how many presents one received. “Quickly now! It’s already night-time! The feast won’t be ready!” cried a cook, rushing past…

      V. The Slow Path

      V. The Slow Path Cover
      by Monochromatic A smile pushed itself onto her lips at the sight of a girl and her wheelchair waiting by the entrance of the plaza. The first thing she noticed was that Daring seemed fine, which brought with it immense relief for Ambris. She was fine. The second thing she noticed was Daring wasn’t moving. Not wheeling herself in circles, not reading a book, not anything. Just staring into the distance. Ambris was no longer certain she was fine. “Daring Sun,” Ambris greeted, maintaining her smile. “You’re…

      V – VII

      V – VII Cover
      by Monochromatic V. The Humdrum of Routine It’s interesting how quickly one falls into routine, into patterns that are both familiar and novel, tacitly established as most things are. I never expected you to buy us coffee in the mornings, yet you always did. You never expected me to buy us tea at night, yet I always did. So many things begin silently, have you noticed? Or, rather, not silently so much as…there’s a word for it…unnoticed? That’s not quite it, but I can’t think of anything else.…

      VI. The Break Room

      VI. The Break Room Cover
      by Monochromatic They were in the break room when it happened. Lunchtime was usually a loud affair, the two of them engaged in archaeological conspiracy theories more often than not. But that time was quiet. Quiet as Ambris ate her sandwich, and quiet as Daring poked at her salad. Something was wrong—it didn’t take a genius to notice—but Ambris felt at a loss for how to ask or even whether she could ask. Daring was by no means a child, already one foot towards college, but all Ambris could see at that…
