For many years Suvarros ( translation: darkness descending), a young orphan foal, had been followed by death. It started with his birth parents deaths, and now has cost the lives 47 adoptive parents. The now 13 year old is an outcast and avoided by almost every pony in his orphanage home. As his curse has become legend in his small home town of Faust, young Suvarros contemplates weather society would be better off if he didn't exist. Unaware the events about to transpire.
Over the mountains to the east, a dark power lies in wait to make its move... and with the Alcorn princesses preoccupied by Discord, Faust is but a fresh crop ready for harvest.
