When Twilight starts acting oddly, it takes a while for her friends to question it. After all, she's always been something of a hermit, hasn't she? But this time, it's more than just a scholarly inclination keeping our newest princess indoors...

Twilight looks deeper into a certain prophecy, and finds an answer much stranger than she expected.

What are these mysterious 'stars'? Who wrote the prophecy? And why the heck does everything seem to run in cycles of a thousand years, anyway?

One-shot.

Twilight decides to research the mirror that took her to another world, but what she discovers is more than what she bargained for...

Now, with a new human to take care of, and a near-impossible mystery to solve, Twilight begins to come into her own as a princess, and discovers what it truly means to be a protector of the people.
