Six hundred years passed since Twilight Sparkle, princess of Equestria, rose to the throne. She is dutiful. She is wise. She is watchful. She is miserable. The land bears the fruits of her tireless reign. The people are happy and flock to her court to pay their respects to their leader.

In the north, the Crystal Empire lay forgotten by Her Majesty Twilight Sparkle. Beyond that, a mountain range lay ignored by most, its secrets whispered by some. Twilight Sparkle knows there is a Question hidden inside that must be asked, but she is no foolish pony, and her duty is to her people, to Equestria. She does not step into the mountains. She does not follow the gnawing at the back of her mind to investigate their secrets. She does not venture through wind-blasted canyons and frigid reaches to try and glimpse a truth that escapes her.

All hail Twilight Sparkle! All hail the Princess of Equestria!

We stormed Area 51 looking to clap dem aliens' cheeks. I never could have expected what we found.

...because of course 300 000 people would be enough to storm a highly defended military base, and of course the portal to Equestria would be inside (whoops spoilers (like this was really a spoiler in the first place and not the logical conclusion to a story featuring humans needing an excuse to go to Equestria.)).

No one can make you change but yourself.

Before Nightmare Moon, before Equestria, before the Alicorn sisters moved the Sun and the Moon in the sky, there was Luna.

Luna, and Celestia. Two ponies left alone by a twist of fate that came too soon.
