An ancient evil is rising, but with the Elements of Harmony returned to the Tree of Harmony it may be unstoppable. Fortunately for Equestria, there exist other worlds, with their own Harmony magics. Two people from one such world have been brought to Equestria, and will soon have the chance to help save it.

This fic is a crossover with the Ar Tonelico series, a niche JRPG developed by Gust and Banpresto. They’re notable for having a fairly unique setting (thanks to a giant disaster all survivors are living on top of giant magic-tech supercomputers), an oddly feminist tone for a niche JRPG, and really sweet music. (Too bad the third game forgot point two.) Although each of the games are flawed in their own way, I feel like the good outweighs the bad, at least for the first two. After noticing the similarities between certain characters in the series and certain MLP characters I was inspired to write this.

Also there are massive spoilers for Ar Tonelico 1, 2, and probably Qoga but oh well. Studies claim that spoilers actually increase your enjoyment of things anyway! You can find a text LP for the first Ar Tonelico here.
