How's it being the last blank flank in town, apart from a pair of ulta-annoying twins? It's annoying, it's frustrating and it's draining to come up with new ways to find your special talent, especially if the thing everypony thought was going to be yours turns out not to be.

Well, Apple Bloom has enough of her miserable existence and decides to head off into the Everfree Forest, trying to get a cutie mark in finding something she hopes she doesn't expect. For what would make a better Cutie Mark than the unknown?

Nothing goes wrong, except a lot of things, possibly everything.

It's an ordinary day in Ponyville, until Applejack says Twilight is purple. She should have known better.

Everypony enjoys myths and ponytales, even if they know such things aren't real. Alicorns fighting against a spirit of chaos? An ancient princess trapped in a library under a tree, waiting to be found? Quite enchanting and fantastic tales yes, but nonetheless as fictional as Daring Do and other such stories. At least, that's what Rarity used to think.

She doesn't anymore.

Dedicated to Annuska for being as amazing a writer as she is a friend.

It has been a year since I last saw her when she appeared on my doorstep, strangeness in her eyes and a mumbling under her voice.

She asked for my help to investigate a peculiar object, which once held an odd ancient magic. But it's benign now, she said.

It's benign now.
