'What happened to Cloudsdale?'

It is a simple question, yet one that the greatest of scholars that have studied the Age of Harmony could not find an answer for. It is a city that did not leave a mark upon the world like with Canterlot and Ponyville. Yet, it was the home of many species before magic had disappeared and the sundering of everything that kept them together. A Forgotten relic of an age long gone.

That is, until now.

But what awaits a trio of friends could change how they think of the past... and it's something none of them are prepared for

My first attempt at trying to write a story set within G5. It takes place after the Movie as well as the Make Your Mark special, but is considered an AU since the explanations for events that occurred in the G5 Comics are not present here.

This story was influenced a lot by several different things and is the culmination of everything that I have tried to write over the course of the last two months. The main sources of inspiration were the Forgotten series by milesprower06, the Ancients from Final Fantasy XIV as well as the Critical Role miniseries, Exandria Unlimited- Calamity.

Teen rated because of the discovery of things that would be deemed as unsettling by many.

Any feedback for future G5 stories would be really appreciated. I hope I got each of the characters right. Yet, trying to write G5 is completely different compared to writing the ponies we all are familiar with in G4
