Celestia, using an eldritch magic, tries to contact a long dead friend, but it turns out to be a complete dud. Immediately after, a series of uncanny violent events strike the royal castle. Who is responsible for these outrageous acts? Every lead seems to converge to one mighty pony…

Some doors are best left shut.

This story is paired with Second Sun, by Carabas, that is based on the very same idea, but unfolds in a quite different way, and The Banash-Tarski dragon, written by the world famous and sublime CCC (be sure to check them out, they’re fun)

Proofreading and editing by the selfsame talented Carabas.

The very first part references a character of “The Third Alicorn” story.
