The Scarecrow and the Rook

by Kuebiko
Rosewood, an earth pony with terrible burn on part of her face and a missing hind leg, is a loner in the Everfree forest. Though she trusts no pony, she befriends a pony who cannot see and develops a close bond with him.

Rosewood has never had it easy. Losing her home and family in a dragon attack, she carries the reminder of her loss every day through her burnt face and lost leg. Forced to move out of her destroyed village, she is relocated to a town where ponies mock and ridicule her appearance. She develops the nickname "Scarecrow" for her appearances, and grows to trust no pony she meets. She escaped to the Everfree forest to leave the world behind and live alone

One day, a lone pony stumbles upon her house in the forest appearing lost. Rosewood was prepared to attack the stranger, but finds out he is blind, alone, and in need of help. Rosewood takes the stranger in and helps him, and he reveals his name is Rook. He's reluctant to tell how he lost his eyesight, and Rosewood begins to develop a close bond with him. Little does she know that he holds the secret that reveals the source of her misery, and it would soon put the two ponies on a journey to right what has been wrong for so many years in Equestria.
