A planet of Zimlja in the system of Tritaris, where ponies were peacefully living as well with other mythical creatures and normal life forms like dragons, griffons, bunnies,...
Zimlja was actually the ancient Equestria, the ponies and other life froms were created by the single omnipotent Maker in the entire universe. Through many evolving ages, ponies and other creatures have live their happily life although they are still too primitive and uncivilized.
Until a day, when a secret organization of reapers discovered the planet as the mine for their soul reaping in order to ease their hunger and preserve their power. The planet immediately shrunk into infinite terror and hatred as wars constantly ravaging the planet. Reapers laughing on the bounty of souls, they earned from their wickedness works; until that day comes.
A day changes the fate of the ponies and universe forever......

Spike has always considered Ponyville his home, and has always held Rarity a special place in his heart. That is, until a group of dragons showed up after years of looking for him. After meeting his real family and hearing why he was brought into the ponies' care, he starts to rethink his old thoughts.

Now he only has a week to make a decision: either stay with the ponies who loved and cared for him most of his life, or go with the dragons and finally be with his real family. The decision would have been all so clear...

...if there wasn't another factor in the equation.
