When Luna goes and starts the Lunar Herd, one filly doesn't quite fit in...

Luna has worked long and hard on this spell. A spell to start the Colony that her sister forbade.

The are seven foals she marks: three colts, four fillies; all are orphaned or homeless. She planned to raise them from newborn, but her plans are intercepted.

Come Little Children...

Blink. Blink.

The droplets of water fell softly upon the stone paving, nothing stirring in the noiseless night; all was quiet over Canterlot, only the occasional fox rustling the far-off heather. Above, the darkness was not quite black, but a deep purple in colour, with stars peppering the abyss that was night.  Strangely, the air neither tasted nor smelt of anything. Shadows were guided towards the cobbles by the light of the street lamps. Luna's Moon shone full and bright onto the city below.

A slender mare  stepped from the shadows, her hoof making little noise on the facade of the balcony.
