Shouldn’t have said she’d gotten bigger. Now she’s become obsessed with losing weight she’s convinced she’s gained. Good going Pinkie. Yeah you just sit and watch her burn those calories. Maybe Rainbow Dash could assist too.

Check out this awesome reading!

Note: Currently, this story is planned to be rewritten someday. I'll be frank: This is pretty bad as it stands now, and I cringe when looking back on what I wrote, which is a good thing in terms of improvement, I guess. The reading, which was extremely generous of the the kind soul who took the time and effort to read this, is available, and if there's something to take away from this story, it's that and not the story itself. Don't read this unless you don't mind bad writing.

This story is a sequel to Innavedr

Rainbow Dash and her companions fly east.

After Princess Celestia nearly falls victim to an assassination attempt, Princess Twilight Sparkle must journey into the darkest depths of history to find out who, or what, has it out for Equestria and why.
