An average day in Ponyville... At least it could have been.

Three average beings... One average pony, one average girffin, and one average changeling. At least they could have been.

Just an average group of friends visiting a small town... No. They never could've been.

A family of different species. They need each other. And they love each other like blood... No. They're love stems deeper than blood.

Deeper than anything mortal.

A magician with her hearing ripped away from her trying to save her "unique" family. A griffin who lost her sight protecting her kingdom from war. A changeling who had his vocal chords ripped out by torturous war criminals.

Together, they changed the world without anyone even knowing about it.

...So why do the ponies in this small town recognize them?

No...

Ponies recognize these beings for a different reason. They "know" them.

"But why are they so different?"
