There are days in every mare’s life that change her forever. Those are the days on which they learn their purpose, or find it: the days when they discover the meaning of life, the reason for existence, or, what they are supposed to do.

For Derpy Hooves, it is that day. She may be a grown mare, but she has a destiny. She has a purpose, a hope in life, something grand to do. An act, an action, that will immortalize her in tales for ages.

Today, you read a great saga.

Today, you read a great journey.

Today, you read a tale of hardship, sacrifice, and loss, the likes of which will never be seen again by ponykind.

Today, you read about Derpy’s destiny, her tale to be immortalized in all ages:

To sneeze.
