I was born in Canterlot, though I am told this is the second place to bare that name. Here, below the surface, in the ancient cave systems and abandoned mines, we are safe from a dying star that bakes our planet. Most of us have given up any dreams of living on the surface again. Though I have never been there, I long to go there one day, and see the sun with my own eyes, at least once before I die. My name is Dripstone, and this is my story.
