The Elements, stolen. Discord's prison, fractured. The bearers, vanished. With the world of Equestria at its knees, one pony must try to track down the shadowy figure responsible for the chaos. But with suspicions and secrets about the world he knows unravelling around him, can he stop the villan in time or is Equestia doomed to eternal chaos?

Welcome to new Equestria. It has been two decades since the bloody coup that dethroned the royal sisters, shrouded the world in clouds, and enslaved the populace. In the midst of a world gone so horribly wrong, two ponies must try to rediscover the magic of friendship, and just maybe save the world.

Every action we make, every little thing we do, has consequences. The most innocent of actions can carry weight far beyond that which we could imagine. Like a game of chess, every action you make alters the world around you, in ways that cannot be changed until the game is finished. The simplest of things can carry deeper meaning, if only we stop to look a little further.
