A great tragedy happened in Appleoosa more than a decade ago, one that left half of the element bearers dead, and left the town abandoned. The incident has been left uninvestigated, until now.

Applebloom, third bearer of the element of honesty after her sister Applejack and brother Big MacIntosh, goes to Appleoosa to investigate the town, looking for information that will lead to the solution to the mystery of why her sister died there.

While she's on her own, she has tools with her to help her: a camera that takes animated pictures, and a crystal to record what she says. What will she discover about her big sister and her cousin? Will she want to remember what she learns?

Tired out from a day at her job, Fleur De Lis decides to take a nap for a while. But, later on, she wakes up screaming. What happened? Only she can tell.

Ever wonder if a weakness of yours could be a blessing in disguise? Derpy Hooves may not realize it as she visits a strange village, but her recipients, the villagers, do.

This story takes place sometime during the first two or three seasons, and takes inspiration from fan works such as Project Thundercloud and Children of the Night.

The story is told from the perspective of one of the residents of this strange town, which welcomes Derpy Hooves as a heroine of sorts.
