I have memories that aren't my own, from a timeline where I was thrust into a deadly survival game with eleven other humans. In that time, many of us died, I began to succumb to my own dark side, and the artifacts we were given killed countless innocent ponies and tore up the world with reckless abuse of magic. But my former self was able to send Wind Chaser, a changeling who had sworn loyalty to me, back in time to avert disaster and get everyone home in one piece.

I stayed behind with Wind Chaser, bonded by our shared memories of the time that was undone, and the dangerous nanotechnology that we carry in our blood. Our life and death struggles have been wiped clean, leaving us to face.. life itself.
