The first Side-Story* written for ASGeek2012's Pandemic.

*EDIT: officially regarded as non-canon*

The transformation plague has been stopped, but its effects have been felt across the world, with a population of hundreds of millions of ponies now walking the Earth, contact with another world being made, and knowledge of magic being made public.

Unbeknownst to all, an underworld of human magi already exists, and has been lingering beneath society's notice for centuries. With more magic around now then ever, each of them plan to exploit this new magic by whatever means they deem fit, so long as they profit from it and survive the new world.
