The Pony, the Sphinx, and the Immortal

by HapHazred
Twilight Sparkle heads to a dig site in the northern reaches of Equestria to investigate an ancient and powerful spell. With her are Rainbow, Applejack, Rarity, and a mysterious and ancient sphinx who always seems to know more than he says...

Twilight Sparkle travels north to an archaeological dig site to investigate an ancient and forgotten magic left behind by the ponies of old.

With her are Rainbow, Applejack, and Rarity, all interested in taking a well-deserved break from work to help Twilight. With them is also a sphinx, and ancient creature older than pony-kind and who is following the discovery with great interest.
