A world where manticore and chimera are real is a world of myth made real. In this story, the logical consequences of defictionalizing myths are explored. While Celestia and Luna have made their kingdom a place of peace, there is still a little of the old world lying buried in the Everfree Forest. What came before is strangely familiar, but obviously foreign to the world of happy little ponies.

Dionysus comes when called, but never forget what you call.

Note: For mythology enthusiasts and pagans like, this story does its best to depict gods and beasts of legend as accurately as possible (no Disney here). Comments are appreciated.
