The shining princess of the sun, the one and only Celestia. In Canterlot she sits, bathing Equestria in light, both literal and metaphorical. Her kindness is infinite, and she always seems to have a serene smile upon her face that could put even a raging manticore into a happy stupor.
But the guards of Canterlot Castle know different. They've seen that smile, a finely crafted mask honed by centuries of rule, crack and show the sorrow and guilt hidden deep within. Years of observation and accumulated knowledge have led them to one vexing conclusion: this only happens when it rains. But why?
The wind knows the truth; the wind remembers.
