Thanks to the heroics of Sunny Starscout, Hitch Trailblazer, Izzy Moonbow, Zipp Storm and Pipp Petals, magic has at long last returned to the land, and after many many years apart, earth ponies, unicorns and pegasi no longer live in abject fear of each other. However, there’s still one big loose end Sunny has to tie up. All it took was one little question from her new friends about her old foalhood friend Sprout Cloverleaf.

Sunny loved the sky. Every moment it seemed to grace her senses, a swathe of cloud, prickles of starlight, the unwavering moon. Oh, what she would give to have a chance to fly! Perhaps she could reach paradise. For many, it was only a fantasy.

So she waited on that same spot on her balcony, hoping, seeking that something would come at last.

Then a star plunged from heaven to greet her. And he took her with him to dance amongst saccharine stars.

In a parallel version of Equestria where ponies coexist happily with each other, and with their elven brethren, the world was once protected and guided by The Paladins of Harmony. But after they dispersed, the world fell into ruin. The three pony types—Earth ponies, unicorns and pegasi—and the three elf types—earth elves, mages, and fairies—now only live with their own kind.

Earth ponies and earth elves reside at the bay.

Unicorns and mages in the forests.

And pegasi and fairies in the high mountaintops.

Sunny Starscout is an earth pony living in the seaside town of Maretime Bay, alongside her adopted brother Keith Kogan. They grew up with stories about the Paladins of Harmony and Sunny still believes there is hope for this divided world.

One day, a lost unicorn named Izzy Moonbow and her mage friend, Katie Holt, wander into Maretime Bay. The town's residents react in panic, believing that Izzy and Mage are hostile invaders. Sunny and Keith, finally given an opportunity to make friends with a unicorn and mage, shelters Katie and Izzy in their home, and the two reveal that unicorns and mages no longer have magic powers following their sudden disappearance.

Together, with their childhood friends, Hunk Garret and Hitch Trailblazer, and the Pegasi princesses, Pipp Petals and Zipp Storm, along with their fairy friends, Lance and Allura, they embark on an adventure and travel across Equestria on a mission to restore magic to the land.

The fragmented Equestrian nation has begun a hesitant trot towards reconstruction and reformation, but a long road of recovery and re-acclimation is in store for the once-segregated communities of Maretime Bay, Bridlewood, and Zephyr Heights. Friendships formed and harmony restored, but with many of Sunny's one hundred and forty-two questions still left unanswered, particularly those about why Equestria devolved to such a state, it's tough to figure out where to begin.

Maybe it'd be best for her to start with some of those newer and more personal questions...ones she'd hastily written down during their crew's quest to save ponykind from its long period of separation. The unicorn capable of answering them is close at hoof...she need only ask her.

While picking up the pieces of her shattered home, Sunny has an unexpected visitor: an old, old friend that she never knew she had...

Hi, I’m Aiden Walter Dixon.

Most just call me Aiden or Addy. I'm an archeological detective who's travelled the world in my submarine, on my mountain bike, on my skateboard, and flying high in my paramotor.

This is the story of how during a daring attempt to investigate the numerous disappearances of ships and airplanes in the Bermuda Triangle, I was sucked into a vortex and ended up in a seaside town, where I met a cute hooved friend who was just as passionate about her own kind's history.

Let me tell you about it.

P.S.: Quick disclaimers:
1. My Little Pony does not exist in the human world, so no human knows of ponies' existence. I have made the ponies are around 30 inches tall at the withers (shoulder peak).
2. This takes place in between the A New Generation movie and Tell Your Tale.
3. I do talk about guns in this story. Please keep the comments politics-free and thanks.

Eager for more answers about Equestria's ancient history, Sunny Starscout uses one of her dad's maps to venture into a long-untouched forest in search of the past.
