Try to imagine a life without timekeeping.

You probably can't. You know the months, the year, the day of the week. There is a clock on your wall or atop your office desk. You have a schedule, a calender, a time for dinner or a movie.

Yet all around you, timekeeping is ignored. Birds are not late. A dog does not check its watch. Bears do not fret over passing birthdays.

Ponykind alone measures time.
Ponykind alone chimes the hour.
And, because of this, ponykind alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures...

A fear of time running out.

With this mantra running through mind, I make my final pilgrimage to the throat of the world as one, sole thought courses through my mind. I know this is it...

...Ultimatum.

The good news; It isn't locked.

Fortunately for her, good times and laughter never disappear at the library...No matter how strange the future may look.

Celestia's voice was rising as she and her partner, Luna, looked at chief Faust in disbelief. "Please, chief! Just give us another week and I promise we'll get him!"
Luna nodded in agreement. "We know we've got him! Discord is running out of places to hide! Just give us a little--"
Chief Faust stood up abruptly and smacked a fore-hoof on her desk. "Enough! I'm re-assigning you both to board-walk patrol if you so much as think about saying another word!"
"But chief!" Celestia shouted.
Faust waved a dismissive hoof. "Both of you, out of the office! Now."
The door slammed as the chief telekinetically booted Task Force Astral out the door.
Luna turned her head to her partner's with a smirk. "We're still on the case, aren't we?"
"You know it."

Spike had been living the good life out of Twilight's basement for some time now, turning it into his personal 'dragon-cave' and not having to worry about a thing in the world.

Or, more specifically, his new neighbor's dog Virgil. Whom, by the way, Spike alone sees as an earth pony. How will Spike's life change? Will this creature known only as "Virgil" help Spike turn his life around? Or will he ruin what little left that Spike can call his own?

A bizarre vortex has taken shape over the Everfree and strange ponies are appearing throughout it's confines. In the eyes of the public the ponies seem completely normal, they walk, talk, and eat just like the rest of us. But something about their visions they claim to have had before awaking is...offsetting, not to mention the fact that they just seem to appear out of thin air.

More concerned with the sudden appearances than their friends, Twilight Sparkle, Spike, Fluttershy and Angel Bunny must find out why these mysterious ponies are appearing and where they're coming from, risking it all in a quest for the truth.

Unfortunately the truth isn't always meant to be uncovered, and the Everfree is determined to prevent it from surfacing.
