This story is a sequel to What Comes Next
Author's Note: Although this story is a sequel to 'What Comes Next,' it functions solidly as a standalone feature, and an excellent entry point into the 'What Things May Come' Trilogy. It does, however, feature prominent spoilers from the first story.
Ponyville works to rebuild after a devastating attack leaves much of its infrastructure battered and broken, but even as the town pulls itself back together, it soon becomes clear that not all is well. A dangerous, mysterious, and seemingly omnipresent foe emerges from Pinkie's worst nightmares, and may be to blame for the disappearance of Ponyville's own. As Canterlot scrambles to understand this new enemy, the Mane 6 find their Elements - perhaps even their very souls - under attack. Time, however, is not on their side, and every moment spent preparing for the upcoming conflict may very well cost the ponies of Equestria dearly.
