After Twilight gave birth, she began to have two strange dreams. In the first, her child was a son, the destined son to fulfill the prophecy of the Grey Factor. In the other dream, her child is a filly. Which reality is true, and which is false? Follow her story as she searches for the truth.

Sequel to the fic "The Grey Factor" by my good friend Japko, with concept bare-facedly stolen from Awake.

Two weeks have passed since the events of Rocket to Insanity, and it has left deep marks on the once close pony friends. In an attempt to cope with her grief and understand just what exactly caused the "incident" to occur, Twilight Sparkle takes it upon herself to investigate the mysteries surrounding Pinkie Pie's murder and Rainbow Dash's fall to madness.

However, she may discover more then she was intended to know...

When Twilight plays with magic beyond her control, she finds herself and Rainbow stuck in a strange, horrible world. When they find out what happened, will they be able to get home? Will they even want to?

"My name is Lyra Heartstrings, and you will not remember me.  You won't even remember this conversation.  Just like with everypony else I've ever met, everything I do or say will be forgotten.  Every letter I've written will appear blank; every piece of evidence I've left behind will end up missing.  I'm stuck here in Ponyville because of the same curse that has made me so forgettable.  Still, that doesn't stop me from doing the one thing that I love: making music.  If my melodies find their way into your heart, then there is still hope for me.  If I can't prove that I exist, I can at least prove that my love for each and every one of you exists.  Please, listen to my story, my symphony, for it is me."
