Princess Aria, the daughter of Princess Celestia, and her cousin Princess Elatha, the daughter of Princess Luna, both unexpectedly have the exact same dream. And it didn’t just last for 1 night, no. It had been recurring for several nights now. What does it mean? Soon things become all too real as an ancient evil, locked away for over 8,000 years, returns to plunge their world and all others into eternal darkness. And the only ones who can stop this threat are the Elements of Harmony. There’s only 1 problem: Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Princess Twilight Sparkle are no longer connected to the Tree of Harmony or the Elements. Worse still, many don’t even know the threats that are coming! Now their best bet is to find the 6 new Elements of Harmony, but who and where are they? Will they work together to fight for their world? And what does a forbidden card game called ‘Duel Monsters’ have to do with any it?

Everything in this story has an explanation, be patient and you will find it.
