The ponies of Equestria have been through many trials since they first settled upon this land. In the end they earned their right to make this land their home, but foreign creatures did not see it that way. Time and time again there would always be a new evil that would want to take Equestria for their own diabolical ends, though they all underestimated the two princesses that wielded the Elements of Harmony. That is until the Caribou came.

Scared and alone, Spike sets out to find help defeating this new evil. Along the way he becomes desperate and makes the most unlikely of allies and learns of an ancient power that can destroy the Caribou, but with a price. Will Spike raise Equestria from the darkness or send it further into the depths?

How far is one willing to go for the ones he loves?
