Four years ago Vinyl and Octavia broke up. It was messy, painful and left scars on both of them. Four years on, now one of the most successful DJs in Equestria’s history, Vinyl receives news that Octavia has been in a terrible accident. The doctors say she may never recover from her coma, but Vinyl refuses to believe them. There are all sorts of stories about coma patients who are brought back by the voice of someone they care about, right? No matter what anypony else says, offers or threatens, and no matter what it costs her personally or professionally, she is determined to stay by Octavia’s side and do all she can to wake her.

But four years is a long time, and no matter how many fairytales end with the princess waking up, real life owes no-one a happy ending.

Advice, advice, such a good thing,
But let's see what horrors it can bring.
Six little mares, those are the ones,
Let's see how fear can soak in their bones.
False Guidance, that is his fame and that is his game,
Though none can quite tell, what is his name?
Does it really matter? The game has begun.
And if they cannot win, then their lives are done.

A young pony named Wind Surfer decides to undertake the longest journey ever attempted by ponies: a solo flight circumnavigating the globe. Wind Surfer will document everything she encounters, to share when she returns to Equestria. But can she hold her own against the wild, untamed forces of the outside world? What lies outside of Equestria, only the ancient Princesses will know.
