[Drama][Tragedy]
Author: TheApexSovereign
Description: Starlight Glimmer had always been a difficult pony.
She's getting better, though! Really! Three years of living with the Princess of Friendship, one of the most beloved ponies in Equestria, is bound to rub off on a mare. Though Starlight continues to grapple with her insecurities and past mistakes, she never would have presumed she'd be free of the guilt - as it should be.Over the years, she's come into her own as a devoted, passionate, and empathetic friend (despite a few bumps here and there).
But one day, like any other, a strange illness befalls Princess Twilight Sparkle. Starlight is driven to a foal's storybook for answers. Armed with her magic and faith, the ex-student follows a crumb trail leading to one reclusive group dwelling in the heart of an otherworldly bog.
If there was any salvation for the pony who'd saved Starlight, it lied solely within them. Except when the time comes for payment to be collected, the aftermath left behind is picked up by Twilight and her friends.
And Starlight doesn't want them to. For how can something so broken be put back together?
