This story is a sequel to Dark Road: The Ruins of the Everfree

Rarity, the feared owner of The Traveling Masquerade, was traveling towards Ponyville when suddenly one of her guests gets murdered. This cannot be tolerated, she must figure out who the killer is before they arrive, else her reputation is destroyed!

Do I even need to say it at this point? Inspired by a card in the board game, Merchants of the Dark Road.
