Twilight Sparkle has taken a sabbatical to Canterlot to study the ley lines that make up the borders of the known world. As far as any books she knows of, there is very little information on them. While researching them, she discovers a book in the Royal Canterlot Library that will change her life, and the life of every pony forever; a book on the magic of Alchemy.

After an alchemy spell goes horribly wrong, Twilight finds herself on the run from the Equestrian government, journeying towards the ley lines to get away, and to study them herself. While hiding in Zebra lands, Twilight meets a new friend, Layna, and the two start an adventure together that will take them to the edge of the world --- and beyond.

Join Twilight as she attempts to unravel the mysteries of alchemy with a new friend, all while running from the Equestrian military as a fugitive.

Author's Note:

The alchemy in this story is sort of similar to Full Metal Alchemist, but the workings of it are probably different. I honestly haven't watched enough of the show to tell you. But, in case the similarities ares striking, save for a few details, now you know why! Essentially, this is NOT a Full Metal Alchemist crossover.

I will try to get updates out weekly, if possible!

The Romance tag is up in the air right now. I have pretty much the whole story planned out, but I couldn't make a decision on that! Hopefully I will long before it becomes an issue~ Also, the sad and tragedy tags are sort of up for debate?

I'm not sure who did the cover art, but it wasn't me. If this is your picture, let me know and I'll gladly link to your DeviantArt or something. Maybe I'll get some original cover art at some point; who knows?

I've been planning this story for quite a while now, so I hope ya'll enjoy it, because I've enjoyed writing it!
