Twilight has achieved her dream: She is the librarian of the Royal Archives. But she has found out this was not the life she wanted. So Celestia, noting her anger, sends her on a job to get a book shipment, in hopes of improving her attitude,

It has been 10 years since the second fall of Chaos. When Twilight meets back up with her friends Rarity and Rainbow Dash, she finds there is more about this journey than just books. What starts small shall become a fight for survival, for the fate of Manehattan and Equestria.

In this story, Rainbow Dash is walking home, same as any other day. What she doesn't realize is that she will end up being tested and weighed on virtues and knowledge. How, indeed, will she fair when she still has the most important things left to learn? And what if she was going about the answers the wrong way?

Rainbow, for once, buys something with her hard earned money: A mirror. But what she doesn't know is that the mirror houses secrets that will forever change her. For beyond the mirror lies a world of madness, and a colt struggling to survive... but she can never help his pain, for the mirror is but a cruel blade of mercy for letting her see but hatred for leaving her helpless. As she follows the colt, Rainbow's life and the way she looks on fortune, fate, and love shall never be the same again.

Equestria is in the middle of a nightmare, between the ruler Celestia and her rebelling sister Luna. Metyllisk, G.A.A and head of the PROTOMAK divisions, is the only one who can help end the war. As much as he wants to fight without help, one of his proteges, Rainbow-347, birth name Rainbow Dash, softens him enough to have him swallow his pride and get some help from her.

This story follows these two ponies as their own hooves weave the threads of fate for a war-razed Equestria... but at the ultimate price...
