This is a compilation of three pieces I've written, partially to work through the word count limitations Fimfiction insists on. Each is, to put it honestly, a story written for a character's backstory: Chosen Heart, Blindfire, and Collelia. But each is also a very personal piece, and each is experimental in their own ways. I hope you enjoy.

The first is a piece depicting a crystal pony mare following the return of the Empire, struggling with her life after Sombra's enslavement of her homeland and being plucked from time. This is not a happy story, possibly not even fully coherent. This is a story of gray, of color washed from the world, and of how one small thing can touch the hearts of those we may never even know. This is a story where the end is the beginning.

The second is a piece depicting a blind zebra stallion soon after his life came crashing down. A journey to the land of Equestria gone afoul, a lifetime's wandering come to a turning point as a lifetime ends. This is a tale of grief, of sorrow, and of hope. It is one of my more unique stories, as its written entirely through monologue and stream of consciousness thought. At no point is there narration in this story. This is a story where the end is the beginning.

The last is a story of ascension told many years and lives past, of a legend who walks the world with cinders at her hooves. This is the tale of an epic war, a struggle for survival, and of the sacrifice of a single mare. Of Entropy's cold embrace, and of the mare who sacrificed all she was in Devotion to those she loved. A mare who, many years and lives later, would write her legend in liquid adamantine. This is a story where the end is the beginning.
