The story centers around Steele Bolt. An earth pony, whom for his entire life has always dreamed of being able to fly. Determination; and borderline obsession, has forced him into solitude as he works tirelessly to achieve his goal, causing no small amount of physical harm to himself as each attempt fails miserably.
But now he stands before the latest iteration of his invention, convinced that this time things will be different. This time he will be able to take to the skies - Where he feels he belongs.
Unbeknownst to him, this feat will open up a whole new, unfamiliar world to him.
