Once upon a time, there lived a Prince who called himself a noble, and he did so with pride. He was at the height of his positions, the top Unicorn in the prestigious Canterlot University, a high ranking officer in the Royal guard, and betrothed to a mare he'd love to spend his life with. For why would he not be proud? After all, he was a descendant of the Equestrian Queen herself, and practically raised by her.

However, rumors and evidence begins to mount around his beloved Queen not quite being the radiant example he believes she is, and the Prince's pride is shaken. How far can one fall, when one sits at the top?

Years after Starlight Glimmer fled the hidden village, the lives of the village ponies have greatly improved. They are now free to make their own choices, to lead their own lives, to love and hope and dream.

But with that freedom comes risks.

Night Glider made her own choices, led her own life, loved and hoped and dreamed. And she lost some things and gained some others.

These are her memories. The memories of her snowcolt.
