Despite all the strides in friendship made between species, Twilight never reached out to the zebras the same way, leaving them in the shadows with their only zebra isolated from the others.

Contains strong themes of racism, lots of Zebrican rhymes, very slight mentions and details of maiming, and a very hopeful/hopeless ending for the fate of Equestria. Participating entry in the EPNW Iron Author Contest 😊
