Mare in the Meadow

The Mare in the Meadow is an old ghost story about Crystal Crown, a young mare murdered long ago.

The Story
The story, as told by Lullabelle, goes as follows:"Long ago there lived one mare at the top of the hill in the Everfree Meadows. She was the most beautiful pony in Bleapuroth, and she was able to speak to the woodland creatures; much like I can. She loved Everfree. She named it. Grew it up with flowers. Tended it. Planted trees. She loved to lie at the top of her hill and stare out at the sunset as the trees grew around her. Then one day... Everything changed. She had a young foal by accident outside of wedlock. Only a few weeks after, somepony came to her from behind with a knife. Crystal Crown was stabbed eighty-seven times that night, and her unnamed baby was stolen away. The trees mourned for her. They grew through the floors of her house and wrapped around it to protect her. I see her sometimes. She's very close to me. We connect. She's very... Loving. And warm."
