It's over. All is laid bare. The Princess of the Sun has ordered her old student to hunt down the former Element of Laughter. Meanwhile, Pinkamena Diane Pie reminisces on the events that led to her discovery, and plans her next course of action...

This is the prologue to the upcoming Art in Blood arc. It's been quite a while since I've written my first story. I still plan on doing Sunset Shimmer's story arc, though. I just wanted to write this since I had a burst of inspiration.

The tone of the main story will be loosely inspired by Silence of the Lambs. Of course, it will be rated M for explicit violence, sexual themes, and character deaths. Reader discretion is advised.

Enjoy!
