Celestia doesn't know why she didn’t bring a weapon with her when she first got reports of this place but something told her that if she had she would never have been able to see let alone find this place at all. so she opened her mouth and did the only thing she could do, she spoke.

“hello? Is somepony there?” Celestia said,

no sooner had she spoke, then did the mass at the center twitch and start moving, the figure was tall, and possessed an odd Beauty, from its long thin rusty red hair, to its two piercing blood red eyes, as it moved, out from under its scarlet cloak two long ruddy colored hands came with a pair of pruning shears in one of them, “Come help me tend the garden.” It said with a garbled voice like someone trying to speak well choking chunks of meat. “Then we can talk.” Slowly walking towards a small of part of what Celestia now recognized from old mare’s tales as the only living Flesh garden ever to exist, The Mortal Garden.

After working quietly for several hours next to The BoneTurner who she had learned was named Mary Hoppworth.
Celestia was curious and asked, “Why do you live here in The Heart of The Everfree?”

“So that I am not a danger to everyone else, The Last and Greatest Feast, is coming and there is much work to be done but I do not wish to harm anyone before the work has commenced.” Mary said, still tending to a Bone Rose.

“What do you mean The Last and Greatest Feast?” Celestia inquired,

“That is some thing for which your ears are not ready to hear.” Mary said as she tended to a Gristlebloom Orchid. “ but enough about that we both know you are a very busy mare, Celestia, and The Falling Titan is quite fond of you so I have been refraining from adding you to my Garden, but, my patience is only so much, and you would make such a beautiful display.” Mary purred, her voice gentle and quick like a fillet knife, as she carted her fingers through Celestia’s mane, idly picking out small grey worms, well muttering, about how Celestia wasn’t their’s or her’s to claim, roughly flicking them out of The Garden.

“Celestia please give my regards to Luna, I do-so wish she would come visit sooner rather than later,” Mary said sighing as she retook her place of prominence in the center of her garden, “but, 100 years or thousand years, it doesn’t matter, I can wait.” Mary muttered before going still, and blending into her garden seamlessly,

Celestia left shaking her head at Mary’s last words to her, as she and Luna were both unicorns, and as long as a unicorn could live for, they couldn’t live longer than five hundred years let alone thousands of them as Mary insinuated, What Celestia didn’t know was that in about a month her and her sister would be ascended to become alicorns, do the tiny fact that Harmony had decided to make the sisters its champions, Celestia and Luna inadvertently attract the attention of a draconequis (a chaos spirit) by the name of Discord.

And so Celestia and Luna armed to the teeth with weapons, dressed in heavy plate completely unconsciously walk all the way around Mary Clearing without ever even realizing it, Mary quietly chuckling to herself about how ridiculous the two sisters look as they are affected by the passive suggestion aura that make it impossible for anything with even minor affiliations to The Slaughter, unable to even detect let alone find her home here in The Everfree,

Years passed, the two sisters build a small kingdom in the Everfree, all the while Mary waited. Luna had her little rebellion, and was sealed away for a thousand years, and The BoneTurner waited, tending to her garden just as she had sense time immemorial, and she waited, and eventually Luna, now going by the silly moniker of Nightmare Moon finally broke free, from her imprisonment, coincidentally appearing right inside of The Mortal Garden, and she yelled

“What is this place?!”

“There is absolutely no reason why you should be yelling, My Dear Little Luna, you are in The Mortal Garden, I am so very excited to be able to finally meet you, Mr. Pitch always says good things about you, but, I just had to meet you myself.” The BoneTurner said as she a pause in tending to her garden, and turning her full attention to Luna, smiling widely.

Luna scrambled away from The BoneTurner, as she saw that The BoneTurner a few too many Teeth in they smile, many of them seeming as though them didn’t even originally belong to they to begin with in the first place.

“Who in Bucking Tartarus are you?!” Luna half yelled at The BoneTurner, eliciting a chuckle from The BoneTurner.

“You can call me, Miss. Thorp, or Mary if you prefer to call me anything at all, Little Moon. Now let’s talk. Miss Invictus.” Mary said cheerfully. “I do have so many things to teach you about our patrons and your new….. responsibilities.”
