Twilight Sparkle assigns Starlight Glimmer the task of 'Mapping out the castle'. Starlight thinks that this is a ludicrous idea, I mean, who needs a map for a building?
As it turns out, Starlight Glimmer did.
Well, that was certainly unexpected.

Wait till she finds teh Library, and finds out its Discords, the Castle its part of is Harmonies.
And the book all this is in, is Pinkies.
Obligatory music based on the story title.
.
And a more heavy version.
Love the story so far.

Thank you!
Obvious reference is obvious, I suppose.
... I have questions about the peacocks 😵. And whatever else is down there.
Good thing Starlight didnt find the kitchen that was the throne room of they with noodly appendages.
Of course, that only means she also didnt find the kitchen that was the realm of She Who Pronks Behind.
I think the castle is alive, it can change any part of itself at will.
Ya the castle is definitely alive.
The Tree really spent time winding up that last spell, ad unlike Opal Koboi, Staright couldnt prep for it?
Also explains why the tree dont like Discord.
Oh dear. no reason to C-E-L-E=B-R-A-T-E, unless Trixie takes Snake Twilights 30 seconds and sucessfully pleads her case and the survival of the journal and its contents? Haycarts?
If this is really over, the story should be marked Complete.
Oh so that's the reason. Yeah that makes more sense.
Well...
That ending sucked.
Like... Damn bro.
Real Blue and Orange morality on the part of the tree there.
I'm happy I got around to reading this, finally. It's well written. And you managed to do some things (like having a list of supplies) that usually wouldn't go over well, but you made it work. Anyway, you managed to get Starlight's voice down really well, too. But, most importantly, you successfully created the feeling of dread... the reader picks up on it before Starlight does. And slowly it builds as Starlight's frustration turns from desperation, to despair. It's a kind of horror, both existential and personal, that I rarely see or read about.
This isn't why I read about ponies. I like my sugar, rainbows, and fuzzy bunnies. I'm going to have to wash my heart out with a happier story full of sunshine. Heck, this might demand an impromptu rewatch of some episodes.
Good job, Ashel.

Thank you!
I do always try to make the characters as close to the source material as possible. I really tried to convey Starlight slowly losing hope throughout the story, and I think I conveyed that successfully. (Though of course, I am biased.)
Why? There's nothing funnier than killing off a character right before they succeed, of course!
This feels like foreshadowing
I'm guessing she burned map...
