Mythology

by Z0
Cutie marks tell you what a pony's special talent is, but what happens when others don't actually understand what that mark means?

A mythology is the collections of myth and legends from a culture, a group of people, or ponies as the case may be.

Lyra Heartstring has a unique cutie mark, that of a small harp, a Lyre. Most would associate this mark with music, but what if it meant something else entirely?

This is my story of Lyra and how she came to be in Ponyville. Not all stories are happy, but not all unhappy stories need have unhappy endings.


Author's notes:
I've been sitting on this for over a year. Never quite felt it was right, going to try to edit it and release a chapter a week (it's short <30k words). Yeah, that didn't happen.

There are some darker aspects near the middle of the story. Nothing too explicit, but if you have an aversion to such things well...

Thanks to GentlemanGin for editing and support.
