Hearthfire, unicorn adventurer, and her intrepid cat, Cas, are left stranded deep in the Saddle Arabian desert after crashing her plane. There, she is rescued by a band of nomadic pegasus ponies, who offer her passage back to civilization.

To pass the time on their journey, Hearthfire tells stories of the places she has seen, from the ever-changing floating city where the enigmatic sea ponies co-exist with their terrestrial cousins, to the frozen wastes at the edge of the world where the hardy cow-folk do battle with the elements and terrifying monsters, to the high castles of the mountain-dwelling griffons, and even to the ephemeral city of spirits.

This is my attempt at National Pony Writing Month. I'm intending to post each day's content as it comes, so we'll see how that works out, I guess. Unfortunately it means that each chapter likely won't stop or start in very sensible places, so I apologise for that in advance.

Fifty-thousand words in one month, so the target word count per day is 1,613.

If I can be bothered, I'll see about throwing together a cover image this month as well. Until now, have a semi-unrelated bit of art from the previous version of this character.
