A side-story to the Misadventures of Trixie.
Lotus, a unicorn swordsmare from the far east, returns from her travels to her beloved Neighpon. Yet she is uneasy, for she knows all is not well.
With power struggles evident, the unassuming mare rides out to put an end to a destructive civil war, no matter the cost. Old allies surface to aid her, while great foes watch her every move.
Will she be the blade that frees the Empire of the Rising Moon? The truth is found within these pages, dear reader. Stay a while, and listen.

Written to further portray the adventures of Lotus, the swordsmare which appeared in the main story. Reading the main story to chapter 7 eliminates spoilers, but is not necessary to read this one.
Likewise, reading this story first may spoil a few minor elements from my other work. You have been warned, dear reader.
Without further ado, I hope you will enjoy this little tale.
This looks interesting. I wonder if this sorcerer is somehow connected to the return of Ebon and Equinox. I wouldn't be surprised if his power comes from an unusual source. I'm also curious as to what Kabuto offered him in return for his services because such power must be expensive.
7657498 Ohoh, many mysteries abound, to be sure!
And you won't need to put up with our horrid update schedule, as the story is already done. We are simply staggering the release of the chapters, because we're evil and tactical like that.

Fixed.
7659349 We are trying to keep that secret, you fool! How are we supposed to garner your adoration when the populace knows of our schemes?!
You have ruined us!
The sorcerer was clearly some kind of undead monster that enslaved spirits. Razor is a very interesting character and a cool anti-villain I hope to see more of.
7661858 I hear some of those hang around the San Palomino desert these days, south-ish of Equestria. A little nod to the main story, that dastardly Yevon.
And of course you will see more of Razor. He has a duel to attend, after all!
This is a good ending for the story. I like the fact that Kouki survived and that he didn't commit Seppuku. I think I also detect a hint of romance between Lotus and Kouki. It would be cute couple.
7672088 Even worse, as the memetic construct goes, he could have committed Sudoku!
We are most glad that you liked this little foray into the far east! Now we just have to write the next chapter of Trixie's Misadventures so that we can shamelessly advertise this there!
The glories of cross-promotion!
