The Equestrian Ministry of Nature keeps a statistic - the census of monsters. It is used for a lot of other private and government decisions, like calculating insurance premiums, garrison sizes and marking of natural preserves. Yet, the data for this statistic has never in the ministry's history properly and fully collected, due to lack of volunteers mentally and physically able to make the survey.
One pony from a tribe that had for centuries been banished from Equestria tries to change that.

More character tags shall be added as the story progresses.

"Equestria is a calm, friendly place, full of joy and friendship. Or, at least, that's what They want you to think."
"A lot of ponies are afraid of the truth. I am not one of them. I will find out what happens when our eyes are closed or our back turned. And I will find proof of it, or my name isn't Lyra Heartstrings."

The chapters will describe events in a chrono-illogical order: I get an idea when I get an idea.

One uneventful night, nurse Coldheart discovers the truth about their most difficult case.

This is an experiment to see if I am able to write a readable story and perhaps try writing more. The first chapter is translated from Czech (it's still my story). The second one has been added after I've discovered that it needs at least 1000 words, so it may be somewhat weaker.

Currenty I lack native English prereaders, so if you see potential and are willing to make the time, I'd be happy for any help.
