Twilight and her friends have shared many adventures, but for Princess Cadance, being the mother of a baby alicorn is the greatest adventure of all.
And as Terry Pratchett taught us, "adventure" is a word that means a mess of bad food, no sleep, and folks trying to kill you.
But when the burdens of rulership and parenthood get to be a little much, Cadance can always count on her family to be there for her. A weekend visit to her favorite sister-in-law's castle should perk her right up!

Comedy and horror are close relatives at the best of times. Could you keep up the story's momentum up to prevent the audience from realizing what they just read? Then I figure you'd be good. A story can run on air as long as it doesn't stop to look down.

That's true. But remember Rainbow's "What're hands?" line from Equestria Girls? People have made hay of that one for years. The line makes no sense, but my FACE makes no sense, so I went with it.
This story is an excellent example of how to write eldritch horror beyond mans comprehension. Good job.👍
