Celestia had come to hate the fragrance of dark coffee. Because it had meant Twilight was up. 

Sequel

Three young ponies take it upon themselves to quest onto the artificial continent of the undead: Arkom. Raised hundreds of years ago by a dreaded vile lich that terrorized the world for two millennia, it is the staging grounds for him to raise his armies, prepare new horrific spells, and return to the mortal realm to spread death and decay around.

He was last seen two hundred years ago after almost wiping out the griffins, minotaurs, and turning most of Saddle Arabia into a burnt ruin. The silence from his realm terrorizes the countries around who only have legends and festering scars to remember. The three ponies intend to do what previous heroes have failed to do: Slay an undead necromancer of untold power.

But...something feels off when they arrive on the shores made from bone dust and dried flesh. The continent feels like it's...loafing around.

The cover was generated by Craiyon (formerly Dall-E) and then upscaled. A nice little experiment that could be helpful in the future.

Someone has been leaving flowers in Twilight’s locker all week. Roses, marigolds, daffodils, Twilight is half expecting the town's florist to go bankrupt. Twilight can't stand high school romance, but everyone knows that love confessions are best saved for Fridays.

As a rebellious teenager, Twilight Sparkle set a trap for Santa Hooves in order to prove he did not exist. She failed spectacularly.

This I know: cold feet and a lousy day at work and hunger can all be solved by cuddling a pony in front of a fireplace.

Two things Twilight learned the days before the Grand Galloping Gala. One: don’t cast spells to force you to stay awake. Two: who knew Discord would make such a brilliant dance partner?

When Twilight royally messes up before the grand galloping gala she sits in agony at the thought of having to see the very nobles at the gala who saw her collapse. However, in this self-deprecation she least expected Discord to be a source of comfort.

Now with a reading!

(Takes place during Season 2.)
