Twilight finds an orphaned foal and adopts it as her own, but Celestia knows that this bright young life is not long for this world. She is faced with the dilemma of what to tell her student, but even she cannot know the implications of her decision.
Princess Twilight Sparkle found a number of alternate universes while duelling with Starlight Glimmer. These realities were perfectly genuine to those who lived in them. In one in particular, the future does not look good, but a zebra has a plan.
Zecora hates her little hut. The path is always silent, and the door is always shut. Will she choose her last relief, or will she suffer through her grief?
Having been ostracized from every town she entered, Zecora was confined in her own futile desire for a friend; she had no one but herself. Her loneliness drenched her with cold, agonizing despair, and clung to her heart, hurting her intensely.
Twilight Sparkle’s brilliant mind was gone, burned away by her own power when she nearly destroyed Canterlot twelve years ago. Now there is a monster prowling the Everfree. And it is starting to remember what true power felt like.
