After finding an ancient map in the Ponyville castle that showed six more castles, Kimono, Razzaroo, and Silly Lilly set out to find them. They meet an athletic pony named Star Dasher near the Castle of Happiness in Joyville. Star Dasher joins them in their quest to find these ancient castles and to unravel the mystery of why they were built and why these cities lost contact with each other.

This story is set in MLP G3, starting after "A Very Charming Birthday." With a few exceptions, most of the characters are from the toys. The story is meant to blend the adventurous and slice-of-life aspects of G3 while staying safe and true to the feel-good vibes of that generation. I threw in just a li'l romance 'cuz I wanted to.

This is my biggest, most complex, and most carefully planned and edited fanfic so far. The writing process for this one is nearly the same as what I've used for full-length novels, so please enjoy! A huge thank you to Partly Pinkie, abrony-mouse, LadyBird, Alktenalfh, Before, bookworm, singinglia, and Worldbringer of Joseun for reading and providing feedback, to everypony in the Butterfly Island Resort who helped me brainstorm, and to Knantyell for the cover art.
