The last thing Twilight remembers clearly is following the path through the Everfree home from Zecora's. Bits and pieces, like half-forgotten dreams appear and disappear as she tries to figure out what happened. A strange, cat-like monster with glowing eyes, being trapped in a glass cylinder, observed by strange cyclopean bipeds and a creature with four arms...

Very suddenly, she found herself in a round, metallic object of some sort, falling from the sky. After a rather rough impact, she looked out.

On a desert with no sun, three moons and a nebula.

An unscheduled shooting star over Ponyville is looked at as a fleeting, unexpected beauty by the majority of the town's populace. But this is no mere meteorite, and the passenger it brings to Equestria is not something anypony expected.

Rarity is an budding fashion designer and, more notably, the Bearer of Generosity. When she encounters this creature from another world, how will she react? What effects will it have on her life?

After much work, a brilliant mage in a once magnificent but now corrupt city of magic believes he has found a way to save it in a new, powerful form of magic. To seek it out, he will have to cross the Veil and explore a strange new land inhabited by creatures the likes of which he has never seen before. Fortunately, they are quite friendly, and more than willing to share with him the most powerful magic they know of.
