Enigmatic Equus is the premiere magazine dedicated to all things strange, paranormal, and supernatural. Written by Bizarre Symbols, the magazine takes aim at all sorts of things mysterious. This is issue #2,021 and is a special one as it not only contains a whole 50 new mysteries ready to be looked into, but is free! So come along and take a deep dive into the world of the fortean, dear reader!

Meanwhile, outside the pages of the magazine, a magazine writer struggles with his work.

An outsider may not be capable of comprehending the realm of chaos in which Discord often resides, but to one created within the boundary of the world, it can get lonely, especially if you're there for a long time.

"Did I ever tell you about

the night

that the mannequin came to life

and haunted

all... the... costumes...?"

Cover art is a cropped version of a work by Xenon.

Most ponies assume that something is wrong with Ditzy Do's eyes. Theories range from a head injury to a genetic disorder to muscle damage behind her eye. The crueler folk suggest she's just retarded. Nicer ponies say it's just a party trick she never got tired of.

They're all wrong. They're all very, very wrong.

I discovered the truth one day in conversation with her. One eye would always look at me, and the other would wander. At least, I thought it was wandering. So while we were talking, I followed it. Goddess in heaven I wish I had not. Never follow the other eye. Ever. Because Ditzy Do's eyes work fine.

She's just watching something. That... thing that's always in the corner of our eyes. And if she looks at you with both eyes?

Goddess save you.

Celestia and Chrysalis enter negotiation to end the conflict between their respective nations. And maybe discover something else while they're at it.

It's so much easier to look back on your life and see the bright side of things when you have somebody by your side.

And at least for me, it's even easier when that somebody is a beautiful, red-haired girl named Roseluck.

Find a sequel here.

A young Cadance walks into foal sit for her favorite charge only to find that Shining Armor has allowed Twilight to have coffee and now she's in for a rough day.

Twilight is doing an experiment, Spike is doing his chores. Everything is perfectly normal and completely fine in the Golden Oak Library...until Chrysalis drops in for a 'visit'.

Baking cakes is part of being Ponyville's Premiere Party Planner. It's a particularly important job when the cake is for frowny ponies, or the sort of folks who don't normally eat cake.

But it's something that Twilight Sparkle doesn't seem to understand. At least, if she understood, she probably wouldn't barge into Sugarcube Corner early in the morning, screaming about Changelings invading Equestria and covert smuggling rings and blah blah blah.

It wouldn't kill Twilight to show some decorum. She clearly needs to get her priorities in order.
