Softened From Stone
This is a side-story to Keeper of the Crystal Heart.
When Crystal Princess Aura releases Free Spirit—the unfortunate victim of a cockatrice's stare—from his twenty year petrification, he finds his world has vastly changed. His natural curiosity and desire for exploration will lead him on a journey to many lands, while he rediscovers Equestria, its many different environments and races, and himself.
Inspired by and based around the album Divination, by Australian metalcore band, In Hearts Wake. Sources to each song included in author's notes, listening non-essential.
