Twilight has created a new spell. It's a good spell; one that may forever change Equestria for the better. Fluttershy has volunteered as a test subject, and everything is looking bright; but when things go awry, the six ponies' lives are shattered in an instant. Twilight and her friends must take a long, hard journey. It will be filled with pain, insanity, and despair. But it is one that will also be filled with hope, and hope is what the friends need most right now.

Because if they lose hope, they lose everything.
