On a certain Tuesday, five thieves break into the Starswirl the Bearded wing in the Canterlot Archives and steal a scroll. The unicorn they deliver it to, after inspecting the goods, drops it off for the one who hired him for the heist.
The consequences of the theft could be more than any one pony can bear.
Rated Teen for drug references and disturbing (not graphic) scenes.
This is my first submission, brought about by a need to do something creative. Criticism isn't just welcome, it's requested.
The main story is set after Tirek's defeat and does not account for Season 5 or later.
The Prologue and .5 chapters are set during "It's About Time" and are meant as an amusing distraction. The remark Twilight made, "Why isn't anypony surprised to see me sneaking around in here?" is what set off a lot of the ideas.
Thank you and enjoy!
