The quiet, reserved Zecora needs a guide to take her through the Badlands. The only pony willing is the loud, excitable Braeburn. Together they face harsh terrain, dangerous creatures and their own limitations to reach their ultimate goal: a being far deadlier than all those.
Set in Dashverse, but knowledge of it isn't required.
Wonder if Iktomi is a relative of Discord. I also wonder if this is leading up to a horrible, horrible pun.
Oh Braeburn

Trickster entity who answers to no one ... does sound a lot like Discord. Actually, have we seen Discord yet in the Dash'verse? Maybe this Iktomi feller is him?
Yes, you did.
I love this beginning. Braeburn and Zecora? Now ithat is a unique pairing. Should be fun!
Of COURSE Dust Devils are actual creatures in Equestria.
Well, they're in a tight spot and no mistake. At least magically moving oases might help them. Though that in turn raises the worrying question of what is moving them.
I gotta admit. A dust devil being an actual... being is pretty damned clever. Nice seeing Zecora open up a bit like that. Yay for more!
