The Marker on Marigold Hill

by Goldymarg
Hearing a rumor of a strange pony guarding a lone grave marker atop of a hill just outside Hollow Shades, Discord takes it upon himself to interfere.

"Well, you would have been MUCH more helpful if you just told me what was under that grave, now wouldn't you?"

Nestled between the Foal Mountain range lies a quaint little village called Hollow Shades. And just a few miles down the road, a lone cottage stands in the shadow of a place known only to the locals as Marigold Hill. It's known as a cemetery with only a single grave marker, positioned at the peak. Grimstride, the self-proclaimed groundskeeper, chases away anypony that comes near, shouting muddled and disquieting warnings at them. Some wonder what the meaning of the lone marker is from afar, as its true purpose had been lost to even the royalty of Canterlot. Though, such a juicy mystery couldn't possibly be ignored for long...
