As Equestria’s youngest and only mortal head of state, Twilight Sparkle has a lot on her plate.

There’s the day-to-day governmental work, opening Parliament sessions, overseeing court, endless paperwork, and bossing ministers around.

There’s also classwork, spells to practice, lessons to complete, a mentor to please, and countless things to study and read up on.

On top of that, as she recently discovered, the nation is on the eve of its biggest crisis yet, a thousand years in the making.

Yet, it feels like no one in Concordia is even remotely concerned of the disaster approaching. Even her good friend in the Ministry of Environment doesn’t seem too swayed by the discovered prophesy.

That won’t stop the tenacious bookworm, however. She knows that something must be done. And if no one will listen, she might as well do it herself. And perhaps drag poor Fluttershy with her.

But first, there’s that previously mentioned political business to attend to. A mission to a Winter’s Moon Festival event. In a tiny village called Ponyville…


Oh look, it’s Diaries stuff! I’ve been working rather extensively on a reboot for the better part of a year, and this is a peek of what’s coming out of it.

Twilight Sparkle, a headstrong magical prodigy, whisked out of the Pegasopolian suburbs to become the princess’s right-hand mare and student.

Fluttershy, the sheepish but candid Ministress of Environment, Twilight’s only real friend in a castle full of bureaucratic nonsense.

More to come, maybe.
