Greetings! This Magic Node is an informative sign post, a way point if you will, to guide and assist you along the way of Merlos The Mad's calamitous story environment.
As you may have noticed (or may not have noticed,) this story is one of five stories that all happen at the same time!
Here are the other four.
So Many Wonders
My Little Marriage : Mary Is A Mare
Abhorsen
The Mane Two : Contrail
Now, my advice to you (and I'm an information sign, so this is good advice) is to read the others as well, simply to stay on the up and up, stopping when you come across a message like this to see what it says.
All five stories are self contained, and will not spoil one another, up until a certain point, of course. You will see events and other things that give hints or flat out give away facts to the other stories if you continue. For this story, A Twilight Landing, that point is now. You must go and read My Little Marriage if you do not want spoilers when you read that story at a later date, or the other three. If you only plan to read this fic, though, then continue on.
You do not need all of the fics for this story, or the rest of it, to make sense. Eventually, they will all converge into a separate fic altogether from the five. Some things will be confusing I imagine at that point, possibly, but we'll write that sixth story fresh so as to keep everypony in the loop.
Again, I repeat you will get a complete story by only staying in this story and its continuity, but the others have pieces from the other girls and their point of view, too.
That concludes this message from the author! Thank you everypony for your patience and support, and please, enjoy!
