A journalist, Scribe Inkwell, is chosen to interview Rarity, the only remaining member of the Elements of Harmony, hoping to gain insight about Twilight's whereabouts. As she tells her story of the last days of the Princess of Friendship he realizes that Twilight Sparkle was so much more than her best friend, that she was truly one of the greatest ponies who ever lived. However, the most important questions remains… Where did she go? Why did she leave? Is Friendship still magic?
