In this tribute to the horror stories of the late, great HP Lovecraft, we are taken to a small, dank street in Canterlot. A young unicorn, studying magic in the royal city, hears strange music from the apartment above his own: Melodies and notes unlike anything he has ever heard. Ivestigating, he discovers a cello-playing mare in the room above his own. A quiet young mare known as Octavia.

Carried over from EqD

Deep in the Everfree Forest, something has awakened. Something ancient. Something monstrous. Something hungry. What could this mysterious figure be who walks among the trees on legs far longer than any other pony? Where did it come from? And what does it want with Twilight Sparkle?

Inspired by the works of HP Lovecraft

Rainbow Dash is missing. The last person to see her was Twilight Sparkle, but she can't remember anything of the night she spent with the missing pegasus. But as her memories return, she may learn that certain things are better left forgotten.

And that certain caves are better left unexplored.
