After experiencing an unusually-intense nightmare while attending Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, Twilight Sparkle sets-out to unravel the mystery. Unfortunately for her, the answers lie in a place she'd rather not look: her fellow students.

Equestria is on an aethereal precipice. If you can read this, you're already attuned to the latent energies of the abyss... but that's nothing to be ashamed of. Your fascination with the Night will give you unique insights into the days ahead. Stay the course, but... perhaps keep this to yourself.

Pastel Shades has the most boring job in Equestria: telling new parents what color their children are. It's not a pleasant job, but it's a necessary job, and it's the little reminders that make it tolerable.
