One day on her way back from Zecora's hut, our favorite purple unicorn finds a very strange tome lying on the grass in the middle of a dark clearing in the Everfree Forest. Always the curious one (and obsessed with books) Twilight decides to bring the thing home with her, and after giving it a read, soon finds out that this book must be something out of legend. It grants her power and knowledge that could rival Celestia herself. But at what cost?
This isn't really a crossover to anything in particular, but certainly does contain elements of myths and other such things that have been collaborated together from many sources. As always, I'm not a representative of Hasbro and therefore anything I do with their material, such as writing fan-fictions and potentially manipulating a likeness of their character, or any character that bears semblance to some other copyrighted entity is entirely for entertainment and in no way gains me any profit, nor does it mean that any of these things I have used for my own personal entertainment and the entertainment of the others who read them (for no cost or other gain to myself) necessarily have anything to do with Hasbro and any other affiliated companies, brands or entities that may or may not apply herein. All rights reserved to their appropriate owners. With that technical speech out of the way: enjoy! I'm gettin' back into the groove of my dark stories.
Twilight finds a mysterious and clearly magical book lying in the middle of the Everfree Forest.
Rats, when magically gifted, pose more of a problem for Twilight, Celestia, and the world than anypony has previously imagined.
