The story was featured 4/9/2015. I haven't had a feature since 2013.

It has been nearly thirty years since Sombra's destruction, and the Kingdom has prospered greatly under the guidance of the royal couple. The mane 6 have stayed closely connected no matter the distance, and Ponyville boasts itself as the holder of the world's largest amount of information held within its library.

A young filly is newly born within the Crystal Kingdom, a birth long since announced as a curse by the father. The mother suffered from nightmares and emotional stress since her pregnancy, and the shadows bend and twist to her fears and pain. Her birth immediately causes distress in the room, and the doctors don't give the mother a high chance of survival. And the father...

The little filly will find friends despite the mean things that others say. She has to. She must. No matter how long it takes or how old she becomes. Just one to talk to and play with would be enough. She'll do it, even if she has to break every bone in her body. Even through all the hardships and rejections she will meet and go through in her life as she grows up. She'll make it and get stronger from it. She won't cry. She won't...even if everypony hates her when she did nothing wrong. Maybe the whispering shadows would help. The grinning one could too. Maybe they could even become...friends.
