Twilight Sparkle's fascination with ancient runes began when the Cosmic Lotus encountered the portal to Chakastra deep in space. Years later, Violet Woods and Chakat Tigerbright discovered the control devices for the portal and the complex runes that enabled them. Studies of those runes by Twilight and Tigerbright have led to exciting new magic, but for one young griffon, it has opened up previously undreamt possibilities.

Sequel to "Foreign Affairs" beginning soon after the birth of Tigerlily.
