A gift exchange fic for my wonderful friend themoontonite
Three weeks have passed since Twilight Sparkle was crowned a Princess of Equestria; but many things have not changed. For instance, one hour every day, all of the animals at Fluttershy's home take a nap, and she has tea.
One day, though, her routine is spontaneously interrupted by the least spontaneous mare she knows, eager to talk about anything, except what brought on her visit in the first place. Fluttershy is left to wonder: Just what is going on in Twilight's mind, and can she help her unravel it?
After months of hunting her down, Shining Armor has finally found Queen Chrysalis. After their battle, and his vengeance completed, he is met with what is left with the Changelings.
He soon learns that Changelings are much different than what they originally thought...

He was born, many years ago, on a mountain far to the north...
Princess Flurry Heart has been a little kidnapped. And only Shining Armor and Princess Cadance can save—roughly three quarters of—her.

The old stories tell of the Mask of Lies, that entraps its wearer as certainly as it entraps everything around it. The worst lies of all are the ones we tell ourselves.

There are stories which define us. Stories that inspire us. And there are stories that damn us.
These are the Old Stories, tales from before the dawn of Equestria.
