An ancient being rules a kingdom with an iron, yet playful fist.

His apprentice questions her loyalty, both to herself and to her country.

An earth pony leads a revolution against a ruler who may be a tyrant.

A pegasus learns to fly on her own merit, but struggles to face reality.

A unicorn desperately tries to convince a dear friend that murder is not, and never will be the answer.

A farmer tries to find another way to live, and yet cannot even fathom why she has been left here.

A pony who loves nothing binds herself to the ground, desperately searching for a reason to exist.

And two princesses are trapped together in stone, communicating to the only one who can save them in the only way they can.
