How many times did she think her life was over, that all was hopeless? How many times did Sunset Shimmer think that there was nothing left for her?

She held on, and kept holding on. And Every time she fell, she rose again.

But this time, it won't be enough.

This story is both Prequel, Midquel AND Sequel to two of my fics, both "Paladin Shimmer goes on a Bender" And "The Princess and The Peasant" There will be a lot of setup on the early chapters before I get to what the ultimate plan with this fic is: To rewrite Forgotten Friendship but on a fantasy setting of FIM, with the characters I've established on those two fics! (expecially the first)

For now, you can read it without reading those two-- But I'll leave a warning on the author notes when it would be ideal to read each fic, if you so desire. They're both bangers, heh.
