Long ago, the Elements of Harmony were used to defeat great forces of evil. Nightmare Moon, Discord, the tyrant Sombra. Together, the Elements of Harmony could protect Equestria from anything.
But, that is only together they can. Long ago, the Elements are said to have split apart. Ever since then, the forces of the nightmare abyss have returned to consume Equestria. Each day, more and more ponies are corrupted by the abyss. Only the Elements of Harmony can stop the nightmares, but they are lost to Equestria. The Elements must be found, lest Equestria enters an age of darkness and nightmares. At this goal of retrieval are ponies known as the Sunseekers, those who refuse to let the spirit of harmony die.

This is a Dark Souls inspired fic, though no knowledge of Dark Souls is needed to understand it. By necessity, there is a canon freeze before the events of season 3's finale. This is my first story, so feedback is very much encouraged. Enjoy.
