Soon they find themselves leaving their home behind to venture out to the borders of Equestria and beyond.

However, they are not the only ones out their. The lands near the borders are full of new dangers and creatures with a taste for pony flesh. Not only that, but they are being shadowed by an evil force that the main six know all to well. The shadow of an ancient horror. Will this new threat run them down before they reach their destination?
