In the warmth of her cloud home, Rainbow Dash is about to turn in for the night when she hears Scootaloo crying outside in the middle of a vicious blizzard. Plucking the freezing filly from the snow, Rainbow hopes to provide some much-needed comfort for the otherwise tough young pegasus, but she uncovers a disturbing reality that she knows she cannot handle alone.

Knowing only one pony that could really help her out, Rainbow enlists Twilight’s help, determined to set things straight for Scootaloo. But what Rainbow doesn’t know is that in her efforts to provide a better life for the filly, her friendship with Twilight will develop into something more.

All was rather well in the young Princess Stella Nova's life. She was happy with her mother, Princess Twilight Sparkle and her father, Prince Flash Sentry. The day continued as usual until her mother received a heartbreaking message, and thus started the chain of events that would change Stella's life forever. Are these good events? Bad?

Or is there more on the young filly's mind that she's not speaking aloud?

There is a story that has been passed down from generation to generation. An old pony tale about a gruesome story-teller that was used to scare foals into listening to their parents.
What if I told you the story of The Lost Narrator was actually true?
