It was a needlessly poetic gesture, but Rarity positioned herself so that the tear would fall on Sweetie Belle.

“I love you, little sister. Be good, and I promise to join you soon.”

The night after Rarity buys a dead soul gem, something deep inside it sparkles to life. The next day, a pony is taken somewhere grey to await their death because of her selfishness. With the help of the mysterious rock, Rarity enters a world of reflections to save the one she loves the most.

So begins Rarity’s fantastic journey.
