Shadows of the Past is a continuation of my previous web Comic “Without Magic”, in which Twilight was tasked with finding out out “what makes her special as a pony” outside of magic. You do not need to have read Without Magic in order to enjoy Shadows of the past, though some scenes will make more sense if you have.

Another short page this week, just to show that the Mane 6 aren’t the only ponies in town.
