Twilight Sparkle, a young professor from New Canterlot, has come to Pony Island. Her research suggests that one of the families living there is unwittingly holding an artifact from before the flood; such an ancient relic could not only shed some light on how ponies lived back then, but might also reveal some of the lost magics of the old realm. Even if it's just another dead end, the subject might help her to earn her doctorate, and that's always a good thing.

So it is that she finds one of the fabled Elements of Harmony. It is promptly stolen by a pirate.

And the adventure that follows sets her on the path to a destiny greater than she ever suspected...

You have to believe me--

Wait, that makes me sound crazy. Okay, starting over. Hi, I'm Lyra Heartstrings, totally ordinary unicorn. I've stumbled onto an ancient conspiracy, and I need to get this documentation published because it outlines what's really going on.

Fine, publish it as fiction, I don't care! The point is to get it out where everypony can see it!

Look, I don't care how much it's going to cost, I will rob a bank if I have to, but this can't be hidden any longer. I thought humans were long gone. I was wrong. I need to warn everypony, no, everybody, and if that means I have to sound like some crazy conspiracy theorist then so be it!

Once upon a time, one pony asked another out. The other pony accepted.

This is not their story.

This is the story of how everypony else started freaking out when they really, really shouldn't have.

Twilight Sparkle was not having a good day. Being arrested for crimes she didn't know she committed was bad enough. Having her friends arrested with her was completely uncalled for. And while she was given parole due to the most recent world-threatening event, she and her whole group were being assessed by tagalong pegasus Red Tape.

And all that was before fate-altering entities decided to screw with the narrative.

In short, Twilight is a stressed out angry ball of fur, feathers and horn. And really, it's all your fault, you sick freaks.

....I'm so proud of you.

Once upon a time, Eric Winters put on an ancient mask at a costume convention and accidentally transformed all the attendees into whatever costume they were wearing. The Xanadu event changed the world; magic and superheros were suddenly real, as were a number of devious entities from across all of fiction. The fact that six of the transformed were wearing costumes based off a girl's cartoon shouldn't really be that much of a surprise...

This story is a sequel to Winds of Change

At all.

In fact, she really hates it.

This is news to everyone.

K'larra was a deep cover changeling sent to spy on Ponyville in preparation for the invasion. Sazzix was a survivor of the invasion that slipped past the wards and posed as an ordinary pony.

They fell in love.

Then they figured out they were both changelings.

Then they got drunk.

It would be a long and hard journey, the story-teller thought to himself as the fringe of his robe scraped along the ground. He wasn't even sure if he would make it to his destination. But with a little help, he could keep on.
