Maia Baterra didn't have an easy life. Being a bat-pony, she was the victim of much ridicule and cruel judgement. She was accused of being a vampony, a bloodsucker of the night, as well as a demon from the pits of Tartarus, among other things.

She didn't think she'd ever find acceptance.

Until that one night, when she was cornered by a couple of low-life thugs. They were intent on raping her. Then he came along. He saved her life. He took her somewhere safe, and looked after her.

He was unlike other ponies. He walked on two legs, not four. The legs he walked on bent forwards, not backwards. He had no cutie mark, and had a strange mark upon his chest. He was as unique as she was different to other ponies.

These differences, in which they find similarities, will bring them together, and together, they will find acceptance and even love in one another, in world that doesn't want them.

- Can abnormality find love and acceptance in a world of normality? If my followers and subscribers can accept me for who I am, and the creature I am, then I believe that even the most unique of us can find that most precious and rarest of treasures in the world.

Love.
