First "book" of The Saga of The Beast.

To those of you wondering who the "bad guys" or "good guys" are, there are none. When I write, I try to make sure everyone is doing the right thing (in their own eyes, at least), because there are no people who think of themselves as evil, except in hindsight. That's one of the things I try to reflect in my stories, so please, don't say "But I thought they were supposed to be evil", because they aren't. Not even the main antagonist is evil in this, and she even gets highlighted as a good person many times.
Just remember, evil is never a state of mind, but a difference of opinion.

She can swim far and wide across the waters of Equestria, but it's not enough. There are places above those waters, places she plans to reach. Where biology failed her, her mind would succeed. Equestria better be ready, because she plans to visit!
