Maud's best friend is dead.

One of the first things that everyone unaffected by the rapidly growing influence of Chaos was choose sides. For better or for worse, Maud Pie chose to stand with Sombra.
In the changed world one of the most valuable resources a kingdom can have is warriors who can resist the siren's song of Discord's power set free. Maud ventures into a forest heavily saturated with the untamable magic to gain another prized asset for her king.

A shamefully late birthday gift for Flawlessvictory20.

Sorry, had to get this out of my head.

Blurb

A tragic cutting short of a budding romance. A confession of time travel and incurable disease. What was left behind. An instant, a lifetime, millions of years. Three timescales. Two timelines. One love story.

Maud Pie gives Boulder, her pet and friend, a sincere talk.

Slice of life with a sprinkle of sad/uplifting. And also rock humor.

Struggling to find somepony to cover for Rarity for You, Rarity is surprised to find that Maud's available. But Maud's not alone; she's got Boulder to help. In fact, she might be the one helping Boulder.

Has a not-so-dramatic reading by River Babble.
