Out of all creatures in Equestria, Griffons have the most ambivalent relationship with death. Little care was given to burying the deceased, instead preferring the simplicity of sky burials. But when a child gets trapped inside the forgotten crypts in the ruins of Griffonstone castle, Gilda feels obliged to help.

What Gilda doesn't know, however, is that there was a very good reason the crypts had been abandoned. After all, some things are better left forgotten...

Now with an audio reading!

In the wake of Camp Everfree and the latest in a long line of raging she-demons, Sunset’s dreams lead her down a familiar path of memories. She’s never been one to pass up an opportunity; it’s high time to ask a question that’s been bothering her since the Friendship Games.

That’s the plan, anyway. One of the many problems with seeking wisdom from demons is that you get far more than what you wanted to know.

Winner of Bicyclette's SciSet Contest and Reactception's Sunset x Midnight contest, graciously beta-read by MarvelandPonder. Rated Teen for suggestive content well north of what the Dazzlings got away with.

Sunset Shimmer and Twilight find themselves in the company of old enemies.

They whisper and slowly, they're taking matters into their own hands.

Sunset Shimmer has been keeping a secret from her friends for a long time: When she was turned back from a she-demon, not all of her power was extinguished. It laid dormant, waiting for a moment to re-emerge and take control once more. For months, Sunset Shimmer has remained strong, holding it at bay and keeping it locked deep within herself.

Yet, no cage or lock is unbreakable and some locks can't be so easily fixed once broken...
