The procession of sky-bound apple trees began with little fanfare.

Braeburn had expected something fancy. Dribbly candles, animal blood, ancient words of power, the works. Instead, that dog had just hooked herself up to their leyline connection and lickety-split, there they went. He didn't like it, to tell the truth. Not just because it wasn't good, honest, pony magic, but it seemed...unnatural. Cousin Crimson Smoke had tried that trick a few years back, poor idiot had blown his horn off for the trouble. No, there was something definitely wrong with that friend of Cousin Applejack's, and it wasn't just her snooty opinions.

"You think she was right, Braeburn?"

He snorted, turning away from the awe-inspiring display of arcane might and glaring at a cringing Dusty Bowls.
