Canterlot stands on the brink between chaos and a slow death. The griffons are restless, food is scarce, and the Parliament remains a ruin. And in the middle of it all, a single pony telling himself he's doing everything he can.
In the grim future of Canterlot, the volatile relations between the three races and the griffon minority are nearing the point of no return. And the only pony who could stop the outbreak of a civil war cannot afford to do so.
Canterlot has fallen. Twilight, along with some of her friends, has been exiled. Can she and her friends make sense of the insanity that has befallen on Equestria before it's too late?
In a remote village, ponies begin to disappear. Celestia sends Twilight and Fluttershy to investigate. After that, nothing is certain, nothing except the smile on Celestia's lips.
A story going deeper on the relationship of the divine sisters Celestia and Luna in an effort to analyse more profoundly the aspects that make Celestia the ultimate ruler of Equestria.
