A thousand years is quite the generation gap, so Princess Luna decides she has to get with the times. However, this isn't quite as easy as she thinks it will be...

Every action we make, every little thing we do, has consequences. The most innocent of actions can carry weight far beyond that which we could imagine. Like a game of chess, every action you make alters the world around you, in ways that cannot be changed until the game is finished. The simplest of things can carry deeper meaning, if only we stop to look a little further.

Today seemed different. An old traveller comes into town, seeking to expand his knowledge of the world. The elements of harmony have been called to the palace to deal with a rising threat. An army grows in the distance and the entire guard is dispatched to fight it. Yet, things don't quite fit together. The only pony who notices this is a brilliant brown stallion, trying his hardest to solve his own mysteries. The mystery of a long metal tube and broken down watch. Yep, today was certainly going to be different.
