The following story takes place between Chapter 19 and the Epilogue of A Jewel of a Problem

Part of the Strifeverse

-------------------------------------

Unknown to Twilight, the Royal Council, or really anyone in Equestria, Princess Celestia has been using a powerful tool given to her by a dear friend to chart the path Equestria would take. This magical tool is a seemingly innocent book bearing the mark of the great Starswirl the Bearded, and within its pages is the ever changing tapestry of predictions and prophecies about the future.

It has proven invaluable countless times… but what will the greatest rulers Equestria has ever known do when the book gives one final, haunting prediction?
