Before the Elements of Harmony, before the Royal sisters, before the Pillars of magic, Somnambula was just a beekeeper's daughter. A Simple girl who would be courted by a prince, loved by a mare of rare beauty, save her kingdom from war and eventually defy a god. There are many stories about Somnambula, many lost to time, but this will be the first time her whole story is told in her own words.

Why is there a tragedy tag? I've seen both parts of Shadow Play, and I know for a fact that Somnambula and the other Pillars had a happy ending.

This story takes place before Somnambula met the other Pillars, and while she eventually does have a happy ending there is tragedy in this part of her life. You'll see how it turns her into the pony she is now.

I've only read half the chapter but I'm already intrigued.
Few things though. There are words capitalized that shouldn't be. There are several instances where "where" should be "were," and it's "bachelor," not "batchelor."
Also, when writing dialogue, words like "giggled" and "nodded" are not speech tags, hence there's no need to place commas after them. For instance:
She giggled. "This is what I'm saying, " she said.
See the difference?

Oh yeah, and it's "staffs," not "staves."

Thank you for the corrections, part of this issue is that “where” and “were” got crossed up in my autocorrect somewhere. I’ll be far more conscience of it as chapters go on.

I usually leave out dialogue markers if I can, which I know isn’t 100% grammatical but I think it looks a bit cleaner sometimes,
