Fluttershy, Mare of the Ministry of Peace, travels to the Zebra capital of Roam to discuss a new treaty. But the pine forests outside the city beckon her in to where, alone with her regrets, she contemplates the nature of solitude.

A Fallout: Equestria story, inspired by Ottorino Respighi's The Pines of Rome.

Rated teen for the somewhat heavy subject material and one instance of profanity used purely for historical accuracy.
