Shortly after Princess Twilight Sparkle acquires her own castle, she is tasked with interrogating a mysterious object that went down in the Everfree Forest. As the mystery unfolds, Equestria is introduced to a new race of creatures that although don't have the ability to yield magic or have the natural ability to fly, use intellect and ingenuity to match the power of friendship. Meanwhile, the Changelings are finally reorganized to attack once again but are conflicted on who to trust as an ally and who to target as an enemy.

More information and different character tags will be added once they become more relevant. I'm against adding the tags ATM because I do not want people searching for stories with a certain character in mind, coming across this one when that character hasn't even been introduced yet.
