After a particularly rough day, Twilight Sparkle is weary from all her responsibilities as princess and the unofficial leader of her five friends. She absentmindedly wishes she'd never been born, which activates a spell she read earlier but didn't understand, and she notices something is wrong when she wakes up the next morning in total darkness, the library a complete mess. Her only chance is to find Princess Celestia to return Equestria to how it is supposed to be.

Queen Platinum is dying.

She is cursed, and every day she grows weaker. If she dies, the kingdom will collapse, and the three tribes will once again fragment. Centuries of unity and harmony will come to an end.

There is only one thing that might cure her – a mystical, half-forgotten potion known as the Panacea. It can cure any curse, any disease, any poison. But all magic has its price, and the greater the magic, the greater the sacrifice it requires.

Prince Hyperion will do anything to save his mother. He will find the Panacea, regardless of the cost.

Even if he isn't the one who must pay it.

It is Diamond Tiara's 14th birthday and as a gift, she is going to be Princess Twilight's assistant for the Grand Equestria Pony Summit. While Diamond considers it to be lame at first, she soon finds that speaking on Twilight's behalf is more fun than she thought.

After the changelings took over Equestria and enslaved the ponies, the dragons decided they wanted a piece of the prize. The changelings and dragons came to an agreement. They would give the ponies they didn't need to the dragons, and the dragons in turn would help keep their prisoners from escaping.

Every year the changelings go through their prisoners and find the ones with no families, the ones who don't generate as much love as the others, and give them to the dragons. Sweetie Belle has managed to remain hidden... until now.

Now she waits in a cell to be the next sacrifice to the dragon who guards the town. A dragon who looks very, very, hungry...

PRINCESS TWILIGHT SPARKLE: DEAD AT 18

TELEPORTATION INVARIABLY FATAL, WARNS LEADING SCHOLAR

One look at the headline of the Canterlot Times and Twilight knew that she should have slept in today. But at least none of her friends would be silly enough to believe she was killing herself every time she teleported, right?
