A mysterious portal opens up in the middle of the Everfree forest. Six familiar mares, charged by the Princess of the Sun, investigate the strange, frightening world that awaits just beyond that swirling vortex of power. You may have read about such a story before. 

But what if a single decision, a single action, could create a butterfly effect that rippled throughout that story you once knew. An anomaly—a sense of déjà vu—yet, there is something altogether different about it all. 

Once more we invite you to witness the world of Equestria-V through the eyes of characters you might be familiar with. Watch as they explore new avenues and make new discoveries all due to the effects created by one isolated incident.

For the faithful readers who have stuck with us through the past nine years, when CRISIS: Equestria first got its ambitious beginning, the opening chapters of this new tale might sing a familiar tune. But new notes are played throughout each of them, and the melody is not quite the same as you may remember it,

And for newer readers, we hope you will enjoy the ride. 

Welcome to CRISIS: Divergence.
