Twilight Sparkle never dreamed of anything beyond her small world in the castle. Suffering from a number of social issues, she closed herself off to the world around her, only letting a select few in.

All that changes when her mentor, Princess Celestia, sends her to the town of Ponyville along with her best friend, Spike, to investigate strange phenomenon. It's here that her destiny is changed forever as she meets five ponies empowered by ancient magic and possessing strange abilities. These ponies are fighting a secret war against the darkness, and this war isn't just connected to Twilight's investigation, but quite possibly her destiny as well.

New cover made by Sipioc. Spike looks different in the actual story than he does here, but he and everything else still looks REALLY cool.

Author's note:

This is a deconstruction of Friendship is Magic, focusing mostly on the Mane 6, their friendship, and their individual personalities. Rated mature for graphic scenes in the later chapters, both violence and sexual related.
