Not long after Nightmare Moon’s banishment, Princess Celestia finds herself contemplating her solitude… but someone comes to rescue her from it. Edgar Allan Poe fans, this one’s for you.
The Celestian Church (detested by Celestia herself) has been a pain in the Royal hoof for too long. The Princesses take out a contract with Grumpy to solve the problem without creating martyrs . . .
When the lovely blank flanked mare Coalsmoke is violently abused by a rich husband and her hauling company is suffering from embezzlement, she turns to Grumpy for help. In the process, she gets a very appropriate cutie mark.
When Sweet Berry, of Sweet Berry Farm is diagnosed with cancer, the treatment are likely to bankrupt her. She comes to Grumpy for a swift end but finds out that a different and SLOWER end might be better!
Grumpy Goat gets a rare invitation to a social event. His werewolf/pony friends, the Treats, want him to come to the Nightmare Night Celebration at their restaurant. And bring along his friend the Litch King, Lord of the Dead.
