(SPECIAL THANKS TO FEATHER FLYER FOR EDITING CHAPTERS 1-12)

After several years spent amongst the dragons, Spike returns to Canterlot to take an entry exam at Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Individuals. His old friend is there to witness it, and she is not too happy with what she sees.

Based on the fan-animation "Snowdrop" by Silly Filly Studios.

For as long as she can remember, Snowdrop has lived with her mother, Princess Luna. In spite of Snowdrop's inability to see, Luna has always believed in her, and Snowdrop has always loved the quiet beauty of the night. Both mother and daughter love and support each other, and could not imagine being apart.

However, life has not always been easy. The night, Luna's eternal domain, has consistently been met with indifference and even fear. Snowdrop's blindness has made it hard for other ponies to take her seriously, even with her royal status. And they both struggle to live up to the standards set by their royal heritage.

Even so, these struggles may be nothing more than the shadow of a far greater danger; one which, left unchecked, could destroy everything Snowdrop holds dear.

It is recommended you read this story in one of the Dark formats in order to better distinguish the colored text of the 'other voices'.

Oh, and for those who don't know yet, this story is part of the PWNY-verse. It's not all about us - even if it should be - but you'll probably enjoy it to-Oh, stop making me a shill already!

Oh, by the way, it's recommended you read this story in Dark or Ultra Dark. Some of the colored text doesn't show up clearly otherwise. Not necessary, but just a suggestion.
