The Musings of…
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…
