Narration by Lector Readings

Vinyl and Octavia need to have a talk. They've needed to for awhile now. Can they resolve it this time?

Set in the distant time, of the Tribes' first documented history, lived a legendary blacksmith by the name of Farrier. He was a mighty pony, whose hammer pounding against his anvil would drive most away from his cave, and whose blades and shields, which are highly renowned even in the present day. His three greatest masterpieces forever changed the way the world viewed ponies...

Every week, Equestria's princesses take a break from ruling their kingdom and discuss life. Usually over coffee.

Here are their assorted conversations.

Time after time, through chaos and through wars, Princess Celestia prevailed.

Of all the terrible forces she could have fallen to, Flim Flam Industry was the last one anypony had expected.

Losing someone can be hard. But it can sometimes be even harder when you never really got to know that person in the first place.

As everyone around her mourns this tragedy , Princess Cadance upholds her role as ruler of the Crystal Empire in the only way she knows how: with dignity and grace. In carrying out her royal duties, she knows she has to put aside her own feelings of grief, and act as any princess would.

No one would ever know that, deep inside, she's completely falling apart...

Herself.

All while dealing with her own shattering reality.
