There are a lot of stupid and terrible rumors in Equestria (and beyond) about flying city Starspire and his citizens night pegasi (batponies or thestrals).
For example, that night ponies are militarists and religious fanatics who drink blood, kidnapping foals, and in general responsible for half of the problems of poor ponies.
It's time to disprove them, by telling a story about three friends, living in time before the events of the original show for more, than a thousand years.

This story was translated, by the Heart Crusaders. Translator: Lucky Wurm. Editors: Nethlarion, Heartshine
Original Story (russian)

Equestria is less than a memory here. There is no magic, only enormous overpopulated Gigapoleis and miracles of genetic engineering. Living creatures are being constructed and programmed, shaped and modified, enslaved and abused. This is Earth. The indifference of its people is surpassed only by their greed and cruelty. Their kindness, honesty, loyalty, and generosity are too often just words. Their laughter too often means someone’s suffering.

But while friendship stands, any evil can be brought down, right? Right?
