Arkin Teal is in the phase of his life where he is no longer a child but not quite an adult yet. For most colts this is a stressful phase, but throw in some serious family problems, a genetic affinity for drug and alcohol abuse, and a wide spectrum of mental disorders that interfere with his ability to trust anypony, fuck him over socially, and just generally make reality a hard place for him. Combine these factors and you get a stoned out pony trying to escape his problems. Finally 4 months before his 17th birthday Arkin's parents caught him smoking pot and kicked him out. and suddenly Arkin went from living a nice life with a hard working middle class family in Ponyville, into the streets of Las Pegasus, to trottingham, to Manehattan, and anywhere else the wind blows him. Little does he know though, that at that very moment a guild of unicorns who practices the forbidden arts is looking for him. Ark doesn't know it yet but Ark was born with a natural affinity for both drug addiction, and the forbidden arts. Is this the end for Equestria? Or a new beginning?
