The asylum is abuzz with the whispers of the sick and mentally impaired, as it has been for hundreds of years. "Protect the prince," they whispered. "Find the magic," they whispered. "Use the Elements," they whispered.

When a new, especially unusual phrase is added to the list of centuries old delusions, the genius prodigy of the Queen, Twilight Sparkle, takes it upon herself to investigate. However, the Queen's response to her findings send her reeling across half the country, hiding from her mentor's rage by following the vague instructions from the dreams of crazy ponies. Confusing answers only reveal more twisted questions as Twilight tries to save herself, four special ponies, and-- to her sanity's shame-- a dragon that somehow breathes green flames. The only thing keeping her going is her original quest, an insane command that she'd die to fulfill.

"Return the gentle Moon on the night of the scorching Sun."

Basis of the Sky-Verse.

Each of the Mane Six will be present, but Twilight Sparkle is still the main character. Rainbow Dash is also a very important character, and I will not go into specifics as to which Wonderbolts will be present. There is, after all, a limit to the amount of character tags. They may be subject to change, but it'll probably stay the same.

I have no clue where this idea came from, and it's probably ridiculously overdone on this site, but I hope you enjoy it anyways. As always, if you find anything you dislike or like, please let me know through a comment or a PM. All constructive criticism is welcome!

Beautiful new cover art drawn by the lovely Eztp (2135D on here). A billion thanks to you!

Please note that I will be modeling the asylum mostly off seventeenth century lunatic asylums.
