A World Without WishesShe walked the sun-baked streets, the sun above her still as abrasively bright and hot as she remembered it. The sun, however, was the only thing she still recognized.The streets of her city, once lined with beautiful palaces, gardens and gates, were now surrounded by square, tan, purpose-built buildings, where there wasn't rubble and remains.

It was generally known that earning your Cutie Mark wa
Wanting Spirit - Chapter 3Chapter ThreeLike MeI ambled quickly along the starry path back to the Star Road, anxious to begin my mission and revisit my old stomping grounds, but a bit baffled by the higher authority's advice. I need to find identity where I am? What I am now is what I'm meant to be?It at least emphasized with my issue more than anyone else and offered some clear advice, but l still wasn't sure what to make of it. I would at least give it some thought while I was down there, though.The path to Star Road was pretty quiet, not many spirits were around. As I went along, though, one in particular caught my eye. He wasn't just a ball of light like mo
