This story is a sequel to Daring Do and the Legend of the Kirinstone

A.K. Yearling is summoned to Canterlot to embark on an expedition to investigate reports of floating ruins over the Southern Sea, where she finds both ancient history and a villain who's been waiting for the perfect chance to strike.

Written as a birthday gift for PonyJosiah13, who also helped with proofreading and planning.

Inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Again, no, not a crossover.

Additional notes (spoilers):

Beelzebub, Azazel, and returning demons inspired by the game Helltaker.

Some airship designs inspired by the Super Mario Bros. games.
