When a mare showed up near midnight at Ponyville's police station in shock, I knew something was terribly wrong. When she told me her friend had been kidnapped I was shocked-a kidnapping in Ponyville? But then, when I interviewed her, she told me he was taken by something. Not somepony, but something. Something that looks like a pony, but has no eyes. No mouth. No face. Something that is a legend-an old mare's tale. But as The Mare on the Moon had taught us, not all tales are as false as they seem to be.
