Compassion, hope, innocence, perseverance, sacrifice. These are the virtues of the Wasteland, but the Wastes are not as they once were. Now years after the exploits of the Stable Dweller, who had emerged from the 2nd Stable into a land of darkness, the world has changed. Through her selfless acts, the Wastes were transformed into the now thriving land known as New Equestria.

But everything is not as it seems, for there are darker forces amassing outside this land, forces that would bring war to the newly formed Equestria. Will he be a beacon of hope, or like the others before him, will he fall in his prime? Enter, Jack Reins.
