A mysterious series of storms have been rolling through the desert settlements of the Equestrian south. Every time a storm passes a town, the population decreases slightly. According to eyewitnesses, these storms are alive. Small black tendrils of clouds slither out of the dark fog that rolls over the towns and latches onto ponies. Once they're dragged within its embrace, they disappear. So far, no victims have been heard from. Princess Celestia sends one of her best investigators from the Equestrian Royal Guard to find out what is going on. With the help of a local time keeper, a musician, and a traveling petrologist, he will set about trying to stop these storms before everypony is dragged away into the abyss.
