Swift Note has been stuck in Manehattan without his wings or a home to call his own; his siblings don't know that he is in need of help. He cries as he lays in the middle of allies trying to catch what little sleep he can and in the day looking for nothing but scraps to eat, but one night a mare with a crimson red coat pays him a visit and offers him a deal he takes not thinking of what it could bring for better and worse.
