Daring Do writes fictional stories about the hero she wants to be. She wishes she had the courage to confront villains and curses but the truth is she’s spent her whole life running from both. She studies heroes of the past so she can try to be like them, but when she discovers the phylactery of Queen Somnambula she learns she’s not the only one to fictionalize history and that some heroes are better left unmet.

All of my stories share a common cannon that splits after season 2. The official stories of The Pillars of Equestria exist but the reality is much different.

This is one of the 50 or so stories that has been kicking around on my hard drive for a while. I had to curtail it significantly to meet the word count of the Pillars Shipping contest and will add a few chapters once the contest is over. This expands greatly, and makes some minor retcons to Hunter and Prey.

Once again, my deepest thanks go to Awalex for providing the artwork. Check out his page for some amazing stuff.
