Years and years have passed since Maud Pie and Trixie Lulamoon left Ponyville for their own personal reasons. Life in Equestria has changed with Twilight ruling and the two have gotten used to this next stage in their lives. However, when what seemed to be a simple problem turns out to be part of something much larger, the two are going to be pushed to their absolute limits.

Heavily inspired by the works/designs of Kaemantis, Fou Dubulbe's The Great and Powerful Trixie and Maud comics, and Sega's Yakuza franchise.
