Time, Mrs. Sparkle? Is it really that time again?
 
It seems as if you only just arrived. You’ve done a great deal in a small time span.
 
You’ve done so well, in fact, that I’ve received some interesting offers for your services.
 
Ordinarily, I wouldn’t contemplate them… but these are extraordinary times.
 
Rather than offer you the illusion of free choice, I will take the liberty of choosing for you… if and when your time comes round again.
 
I do apologize for what must seem to you an arbitrary imposition, Mrs. Sparkle. I trust it will all make sense to you in the course of… well… I’m really not at liberty to say.
 
In the meantime…  
…this is where I get off.

“The right mare in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world.”
 
“So, wake up, Mrs. Sparkle. Wake up and…smell the ashes.”

I didn’t choose the Hoof-Life.
 
The Hoof-Life chose me.
