Long: After living for 800 years, life can get episodic. The special becomes common and life gets boring. The prince of the lycans, Shadow Hound, was stuck in a loop where life just lost all excitement. That is until, one day, he meets a flying unicorn from Equestria who opens Shadow's eyes to new possibilies. As Shadow tests the new pony's convictions, he ends up challenging a few of his own.

Luna is mentioned but not shown so I didn't tag it.

Story takes place 200 years before Shadow Rising.

This story is a work by Scroll and I.

It seemed like an ordinary day when attendance was being called, but it hadn't been the first time that Diamond was not there to respond. If Silver knew something, she wasn't telling. In fact, she was getting angrier by the minute. Just what was going on? Sweetie simply had to know. But will she wish that she didn't?
