When a fantasy world’s story ends in fire, the gods of the humans sacrifice everything to send the last remnant of their charges to a new world, beyond the reach of their powerful enemies.
The humans who had lost everything are now given a new world to explore, but will the hazards of the Everfree prove too much for them? And how exactly will the Equestrians react to their new neighbors?

After the accidental discovery of humans, Celestia tasked Lyra with learning about Dale's culture and Dale's language. Two meetings later, a misunderstanding caused Dale and a Coast Guard woman to be inadvertently transported to Equestria. With the two humans hospitalized and communication limited at best, the Equestrians just want to heal them, while back on earth the Coast Guard wants nothing more than to determine what happened to one of their sailors.

“My name’s Daisy Jo Martinez. I was born – or so my birth certificate says – on March 30, 2012. I’m married with two kids, my husband’s a Naval officer. I’m originally from a town just outside of DC called Winchester, Virginia – apple capital of America, yay, go me. I’m a Republican – that tends to shock a lot of people – and I’m a practicing Catholic – and that tends to shock more people than the first, and like I said, I’m married – I think people start passing out at that point. I've lived a happy, charmed life and I’m proud to be an American.
“And as you can also see, I’m a pony. Well, physically anyway."
The first main story of The All-American Girl Saga.
