The Magician's Mantle

by I Caboose
Trixie concocts a plan to revive her tarnished image; take up the mantle of Mare-Do-Well and claim the credit for herself. When Shining Armor begins to pursue the aspiring vigilante, Trixie struggles to decide if the life of a hero is really for her.

The Great and Powerful Trixie has seen better days. She's barely able to make ends meet and is too prideful to accept help, which she debates she even deserves. Deciding that giving up just isn't her style, Trixie develops a cunning plan to return to the public eye and restore her fractured image.

A flash of inspiration provides her with the perfect opportunity. Take up the mantle of an already established hero, and then reveal yourself as having been them all along. Completely foolproof!

Trixie's pursuit of fame and fortune opens up a whole new world of problems for her however, and Shining Armor's meddling only complicates matters further. Just how long can Trixie keep her charade up? Is a travelling showmare all she's destined to be?
