You've probably heard this story before. A unicorn mare with big ambitions lets impatience and greed overtake her, tries to defy Princess Celestia, and escapes through a mirror portal into another world. She emerges in said world in a new form, in front of a school, and decides to use this new scenario as a starting platform to prepare and plan, and eventually return to her own world and take what she considers to be rightfully hers.

This is not that story. Or rather, this story deviates at the most crucial point. After all, inter-dimensional portals are a... delicate matter. Even if you can expect what you may find on the other side, it doesn't mean it will be that. She'll travel to another world, yes. She'll emerge in a school, alright. Though this is where what you may know will stop. For the world that awaits the unicorn may be familiar, yet strange even to us, and the more she stays and learns about it, the stranger it will get. So venture forth, as our protagonist takes the wild ride that is...

Hourai High School!

When a new nation is born, more often than not it is bound to face the many issues and hardships that come from becoming a new prescence in the world stage. And for the United Mexican States, it was no different. After a brief period of keeping the monarchical rule, they now proclaimed themselves a federal republic. As one of the emerging nations in the Americas, Mexico was ready to stand on its own after centuries of colonial rule.

For other nations, a significant event in their history can act as a rebirth. A time where they can start anew; sticking to their past, forging a new path, or a combination of both. And for the Kingdom of Equestria, it was no different. After a time of ruling Equestria, the Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony, Discord, was finally overthrown by two alicorn sisters, who were made the new princesses of Equestria. And thus, Equestria would enter a new chapter in its history.

These two countries, not even found on the same planet, it was unlikely they would ever meet. That is, until fate had other plans.

The United Mexican States suddenly found themselves alone after a mysterious event. The rest of their world had seemingly vanished, their country now itself an island. Panic gripped the areas near the new edges, and while the rest of the country was still skeptical, the newly formed government now found itself dealing with this new problem.

What they would soon find, however, would create more questions than answers.

Ponykind has a long story that spans across thousands of years. As with any long-lasting civilization, there are aspects and details that get lost in time. But just as possible, some tend to be found again, rediscovering and perhaps even changing what was once taken as fact, along with new facts presenting themselves. This is the story of one such case, which would set forth the road of embracing a long discarded past.
