In the far of land of New Questria, the use of steam power has enveloped the land. Machines are now an everyday thing and the world has broken up into distinct factions. The most distinct factions are the Skyway Airfleet, the faction of the Pegasus. With their own flight and the steam powered leviathans they have designed, the Pegasus rule the sky. While the Earth Ponies have several of their own faction, the biggest one is the Clockwork Dominion, a faction so big that one of the major New Questria cities is named by them. Most of the Earth Ponies, with this new technology, have long since forgotten the natural ways of their ancestors, though there are patches of natural Earth Ponies that still remain. With the shift to steam power and the less reliance on the old ways of magic, the Unicorns are rarely ever seen, but they are not unheard of. The sight of a Unicorn is a head turning event and will often spark rumors.

This story is about a young Unicorn alchemist called Syn Thysis and his steam powered pet snake Gadget.

Dash's friends admitted to their parts in their trick, but one event is left unaccounted for. Who was it who saved the mare in the balloon. Did the 5 really invent Mare Do Well themselves or did they merely borrow the mantel in their attempts to teach Dash a lesson. This is the story of the young mare who became an unknowing pawn in their plan and her continued adventures as The Mysterious Mare Do Well.

This is my first fanfic ever, It was based on the idea i had when watching the Mare Do Well episode and wanting it to be a real hero rather then what we got, so when they failed to mention the first event, the idea of them impersonating the real Mare Do Well grew. Constructive criticism is most appreciated
