Demons are feared, exiled criminals are hated, and freaks of nature just aren't tolerated. Luna and Celestia happen upon a stallion whose looks can change and shift almost at will, and they discover a past that is more confusing than they had first thought. As they shine a light upon one mystery of this strange pony's past, they find several other, more pressing issues. A social outcast, living in the Everfree Forest for a portion of his life, with his parents killed and himself almost being destroyed when he was exiled, Bacigalupo Esilio is not what one would consider 'likable'... or is he?
