Mother was a pony that mastered ice. Father was a changeling, and a reluctant warden against the dead arts. She had found him in the time of his darkest hour. After he had given up all hope, he had found love. Then came the marriage. Then, little Nightingale came along in a baby carriage. It should have been "Happily ever after".

It only lasted for about twelve years.

Discord pulled the ultimate curse from a place even he normally feared to tread. Even as she tried to hold on, Nightingale lost her grip on her parents. The curse dampened her mind and ruptured her form. It could have been another "hero's tragedy".

It lasted for exactly twenty-five years.

This is also the story about a woman named Natalia Tasha Gabriel.
