After Marble Pie sees Big Mac and Sugar Belle together on Hearth's Warming Eve, she tries to pour her sadness and heartbreak into her diary...

If only the other ponies around her could understand how badly she was hurting.

Note: The story deals with elements of depression, low self-esteem, social estrangement, isolation, and suicide. Please be advised.

In a city of bright lights and constant sounds, a mare tried to hold onto herself even as she battles demons inside and out. Will her bits take her to the end of the rainbow only she can see? She's ready to dance on the edge of a knife to find out.

A sculpture of Ponyville as it was. Do you remember it? That place as soft as feather-fall. The trees, the earth, the knowing. Remember the ponies? Cloud Chaser, Mrs Cake, Berry Punch, Cherilee, Carrot Top, Sassaflash, Lemon Hearts, Grand Pear, Minuette, Flower Wishes, Mayor Mare, Dr Fauna, Junebug, Big Macintosh, Sea Swirl, Amethyst Star, Dave the changeling, Muffins, Drizzle, Meadow Song, Granny Smith, and all the rest...and you.

Yes, you.

You were there, also.

Simple, right?

Based on the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. Big thanks to the ever wonderful Carabas for editing and also for writing a few descriptions on account of me being a whiny baby who hates describing places.

“...the restraint demonstrated here is phenomenal, and a brilliant lesson...”
—Petrichord

A royal service can be many things. Weather it be of military origin, or just a lowly farmer growing apples. The rising industrial might of Equestria needed to be shown off. The country's beside needed to know that the ponies were nipping at their heels, and they were closing in fast. Smoke Stack was told to make the most influential run of his entire life... will he and his firepony be able to do it? Will they be able to break 100 miles per hour?

Please note the cover art is something I found off google images. Represented is the MR's Hiawatha Hudson, which is what the locomotive in this story is based on.

The Legion Of Doom are finally free from the stultifying confines of their stone prison! There's just one thing stopping them from resuming their terrifying campaign of terror though, and it's a pretty major one...

"The first time I came back, I thought it was a miracle. By the fifth or sixth time, I knew it was a curse."

Death is a reasonable fear, but it is also a constant reassurance. A promise that no matter how bad things get, they will one day end.

That promise was broken, leaving Rainbow Dash to pay the cost.

A very last minute entry for the 2024 SciFi Contest III.
