Equestria: A paradise world ruled by princesses Celestia and Luna, who have managed to maintain a Utopian society for the native ponies for hundreds of years. It has become a shining beacon of civilisation across the universe, a promise of peace and prosperity for other worlds and civilisations throughout the cosmos. Why then would anyone attack it? Who would commit such a terrible act? What would they stand to gain? What was their plan, and how would it prove beneficial to anyone?
Spike: A dragon in Equestria, raised for as long as he can remember alongside his adoptive sister, Twilight Sparkle. He has grown to be one of her oldest and closest friends as well as her assistant. The two have grown in each other's presence, providing each other with the love, care and closeness that only family can possibly give, and a life that neither could ever imagine without the other. For Twilight, it is perfect - but Spike yearns for the one thing that Twilight can't give him; information on his past and origins. Hungry for answers, he seeks out the wisdom of anyone who can possibly help him, a search which seems to sprawl before him in a long, winding road. Who can give him what he needs? How can Twilight, the most important person in Spike's life, risk the bond that they have for a quest that seems doomed from the beginning?
With such an abundance of questions and such a scarcity of answers, Spike is forced to trek down that road quicker than he would have imagined as the importance of seeking those answers increases exponentially. Through hardships and confusion, difficulties and turmoil, Spike desperately hopes to find what he's looking for before he's drowned in questions that seem to be relentlessly forcing their way into his life, but none more so than the three which evade his every attempt to seek clarity:
What is his destiny?
What is the real threat?
Can it be stopped?
