Fluttershy discovers a family heirloom is more than it seems. There's a bad guy, too. Epic journey commences.

This is a reupload. Chapters will be re-added one at a time. Note that all content was copied from messy HTML source and then converted to Fimfiction's bbcode (or whatever) using an online converter, so formatting may be messed up. Point any errors out to me if you find them.

This may have been written as recently as 2010/11, but those were, so to speak, my younger and more vulnerable years. So I'm a little ashamed of this story, but damned if I wrote over a hundred thousand words for it to all be deleted. So it's going back up.
