Dream, just your ordinary mare from Ponyville and a powerful hypnotist, had enough of her everyday life. Constantly trying to cure mentally ill ponies was starting to weigh on her, and thus she wanted to do something more fun. Taking over Equestria seemed a good idea in her eyes. She had always been a fan of power and control, so it was no wonder that she became a hypnotist, but like everypony knows, power corrupts and Dream will experience that firsthoof.

Join her as she and Deviosis, her partner in crime and controller of the minds, try to take on Equestria and implant a new rule in the country. Will their plan succeed and will they become the new rulers of the country? Or will they fail and be banished for eternity?

Warning: Contains hypnosis, mind control, robots, and possibly clop.

Enemies stir in Westeros's far northern tundra, coming from beyond the furthest place on the map, The Haunted Forest. A shell of its former self the Night's Watch must send a team of its own through the Haunted Forest to try and save mankind.

What they find on the other side of the forest may surprise them though...
