Two friends, a brony and a non-brony are taken from earth and thrust into the magical land of Equestria. Turned into a unicorn mare and a griffon respectively, the two friends struggle to face their situation. They struggle with the usual trouble in Equestria as well as some unusual trouble. They struggle with finding their part in their new lives, and with finding who they are and always were. They struggle to find who they want to be and who they can be. They struggle with how it affects those around them. So many struggles are left to be faced and they still face one of the biggest questions. How do they get home? Can they even do it? Or does fate play a cruel hand against them, keep them from their goals. With so many factors playing against them and so many troubles can the two friends find any help with their situation. Does their help come in the form of Heartbreak? Maybe Friendship? It's all a giant puzzle that has to be solved, but the answer isn't necessarily a pleasant one. The path is rough and all they know is at the end is the hope of a happy ending. Is hope enough?
