My name is Starlight Glimmer. I am currently unable to escape from the bizarre circumstances in which I find myself. Sometimes I think I'm cursed, and this is my punishment for trying to change the past. Other times, I just want to give up. It is my good friends who keep me going, who give me strength. Without them, I would have gone insane long ago. Then again, maybe I am insane. At this point, it's hard to tell.

I'm writing this because so much has happened, because if I don't write this down now, I may not get another chance. I'm writing this because I'm not sure if I'll ever make it home, and I want to at least leave this behind if I don't make it. If you're reading this, and I'm gone forever, I want you to give this journal to Twilight, or one of the Princesses. I want you to tell my friends and family I still love them. I don't want to leave without saying goodbye, but this may be the best I can manage.

Takes place several months after the end of Season six.

The Sorcerer's stone is an object of fascination for scholars throughout the ages. The theoretical stone would hold infinite magical power, enabling the user to perform fantastical miracles, things not even Celestia herself can do. For centuries it has been discussed in theory, but not many ponies actually believe in its existence. However, the stone is very real, or rather it could be. One pony is very determined to see it become a reality.
