I’d like to thank the Equestrian Academy of Natural and Magical Sciences for their insight and contribution to this text. 

I’d also like to thank Twilight Sparkle, who generously translated countless works of Equestrian history so that I may better understand their world. 

Finally, I want to thank you, the reader, who wanted to hear this story straight from the horse’s mouth, as it were.




Dedicated to Rainbow Dash, who taught me how to think with my heart.
