      ~ Interlude IV ~ An Untold Bedtime Story ~

      ~ Interlude IV ~ An Untold Bedtime Story ~ Cover
      by Monochromatic Apple Crisp was just a foal when he met the Spirit of Chaos. It happened on a normal day of a normal week of perhaps an unusual year. To little Crisp, there was nothing wrong with the kingdom of Equestria. The wars his father spoke of late at night seemed unreal, distant, and it felt to the foal as if Lone Tree Valley was the safest place in the land—right after his old home, Canter Capital. On that particularly normal day, the entire Apple Family had gathered around for an early dinner. Uncle…

      ~ Interlude I ~ A Near-Death Experience ~ Cover
      by Monochromatic Face to face, he saw her only once. In his dreams, however, he’d seen her nearly every other night; in dreams where his hindlegs still worked, still moved, where he was not crippled for life. He was a painter by trade. Or had been, at least. He was more accurately a fool; a fool who’d embarked on an ill-fated journey to trap the world in paintings and now found himself trapped in the unforgiving claws of the forest. He’d lost his supplies, lost his way, and he feared his very own life would…

      ~ 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 ~ 32 ~ The Curse of the Everfree ~ Cover
      by Monochromatic “Pinkie, you’re positive you’ll be fine without me?” Seeking Night would grace Hollow Shades in about a week, which gave Rarity and Pinkie only about that long to bring the tentatively named Princess Luna Confidence Project, a very long-term plan to slowly but surely combat the chaos magic plaguing Hollow Shades, to fruition. Their current base of operations, also known as Professor Awe’s house, was filled with presents of all kinds: teddy bears, toy cars, dolls,…

      maybe death is like falling asleep [timeline: time between TEL and TEK]

      maybe death is like falling asleep [timeline: time between TEL and TEK] Cover
      by Monochromatic Death was not like Twilight had expected it.  I suppose that’s because she couldn’t expect much at all, wandering her library, eyes blacker than a starless, moonless night.  This was, after all, what my beloved wanted. This was, after all, what was right, what she deserved. Peace, her endless thoughts so distant and quiet, everything mattering so, so very little.  High above, past bookcases gathering dust, hung a chandelier, illuminating the room. She stared up at it, and then…

      ~ Interlude V ~ A Quiet Moment ~ Cover
      by Monochromatic She hadn’t been able to sleep since they came back from the library. She simply lay on the edge of her bed, unable to tear her eyes away from the sleeping alicorn beside her, the ink all over her coat staining the sheets and Sweetie Belle huddled next to her. For hours, she was convinced it was a dream. It had to be. Any moment now, she thought, she’d hear Incantation yelling her name, she’d wake up back at Hollow Shades, and Twilight would still be sealed inside the library. But the hours…

      ~ Act II ~ 16 ~ The Dragon Falls ~ Cover
      by Monochromatic Princess Twilight Time. The three hours a week the Cutie Mark Crusaders dragged Rarity to the library for their lessons with Twilight, after they’d hassled her into going back on her “no visiting Twilight” rule. Then again, “dragged her to the library” wasn’t the right phrase, was it? That would imply Rarity didn’t really want to go, when the truth was that any excuse to go to the library was one she’d take. That was, until Twilight had become convinced that Rarity could…
    • Hi everyone! For those of you who might remember, the amazing IsaSpSp did a full animatic for Enchanted Library some time back. WELL! She just finished one that recaps the entirety of TEK, AND IT’S FRIGGIN’ INSANE! I had to re-watch it and pause every five seconds to appreciate the scenes and details. If you like it, please be sure to leave her a…
