The Canterlot Caverns are a strange and enigmatic place, untouched and forgotten by pony-kind for centuries. So when a strange metal object is unearthed in their depths, it's up to Twilight Sparkle and Lyra Heartstrings to discover the many secrets it holds.

Together, the two of them will have to do their best to understand the remnants of an ancient civilization, and decipher what remains of Those Who Came Before.

Proofreading was performed by the equally fantastical writers:

And a special Thank You goes to The Sentient Cloud for allowing me the honor of continuing this great story after he retired from writing fimfictions.

As it turns out, this story is eerily similar to Lyra Heartstrings and the Hand of Man. Due to their similarity, I feel that it would be appropriate to give said story a mention.

This story is based on the human teenager Davis Peradova and the chain reaction of problems that form around him. He will gain new everything from family to enemies throughout his 10 year journey. You'll read of him surviving in the forest for months on end as he evades his Skaven captors.

Caution: I would advise not sticking with this story if your not interested in gore later on, I will be making expansions to this story when war comes into the picture. It starts out a little bumpy since its about Davis's future adopted children. But everything will work out in the end hopefully.

Again honesty is well appreciated. If your looking to edit for me please send me a pm so that I can give you the password. Even pre readers are well appreciated.
