“Twisting One, the Burning Queen and the Night Mare shall cast you down and drive your monsters away as they will my Wolves; and their Ponies will control the world so utterly, not even the seasons shall turn without them! And Night Mare, the Burning Queen shall tire of sharing anything with you; she will seal you in the Moon and rule all-that-is herself!

“But long from now, the Night Mare will break free again! As shall the Twisting One! And when these things that cannot be happen, there will be an end of all the Ponies have made and my children the Wolves shall cast you all down forever! And all shall once more be as it was meant to be!”

– the Prophecy of Fenris, Northern Forest Wolfpacks

Long ago, the Burning Queen drove the Sons and Daughters of Fenris from Equestria into the Great Northern Forests.

A year ago, the Night Mare vanished from the Moon and the sun did not rise for days. Puzzled and fearful, the Alphas of the Packs sent scouts south into the Pony lands to seek whether what was foretold was coming to pass.

One of these scouts traveled farther into Equestria than any Wolf had in a thousand years.

This is the story of what happened.

You folks asked for it and you got it, here's the story of Ardi's first visit to Ponyville and what happened. A prequel to Wolf in Pony's Clothing.
