My name is Twilight Mist. Granddaughter of Twilight Sparkle, or who the world knows as The Masked Matterhorn.

When I was a filly, my guardian Spike was always there for me. He taught me how to read, cared for me, and even introduced me to the heroes that remained from the first generation of the power ponies. Back then, I thought my life was perfect. That nothing bad could happen.

Then, tragedy struck. What happened then has changed me into the mare that I am now. But... my Guardian Angel was gone. I did not know what I would do without him.

In a desperate attempt in order to cheat death, I made a choice that would not only impact me, but also my friends and the entire world around us.

I don't deserve to be a hero. Everything that happened was my fault. To me... I see myself as the cause for everything falling apart.

I'm so sorry, Humdrum.

Mainly a side story to When Lightning Strikes, with tie in's to Evolve Me Not and Displacer Tales: Cold Storm. What happens in this story directly impacted the world that the Azure Striker calls home.
