In the quaintest and furthest stellar reaches of your race's empire, an anomalous planet has been discovered in orbit around a G-type main sequence star.

You are a high researcher of the Star Guild, and you have been tasked with leading a joint expedition to this mysterious world. But what lies in store there? A grand paradise laden with ancient magics to fuel your people's scientific strides, or just another disappointing backwater prime only for farming and industry? One thing is already clear to both yourself and the Guild: nature does not concentrate so much magic on one world and its moon just on its own.

Just a little experiment of mine into the realm of second person narrative, so it may be a little rough

No one alive today can say where she came from; simply that she has always been there.

And yet, few ponies have had a greater impact on Princess Celestia's life than Raven, her most faithful aide.

Inspired by and based off of a headcanon put forth by Heir-of-Rick, though perhaps a bit less insidious than what he had in mind. He very kindly provided an alternate version of his image for me to use as my cover image! Text added by me.

All comments and criticism very welcome!

Celestia preaches love and peace, forgiveness for all. Never to kill, only to imprison. However, some take up issue with this. A disillusioned squadron of Royal Guards dispensing their own brand of safety and security. Now, she finds her ways questioned and wondering... are they right? Is there no place for truth and justice anymore?

Maybe it is time for a change...

Fluttershy is your friend. She has been for awhile now. You hang out with her quite often, doing many activities together.

Got the inspiration for this story by listening to "Quiet" by the band Lights
