The forest is alive.

Everypony knows that. What they don't know is how the forest controls itself. Like how does the forest appears to harvest its own fruits, move its own clouds, and raise its own animals?

And if a menace threatens the forest, how can it protect itself? After a forest fire decimates a large portion of the Everfree and a dryad sapling goes missing, the ponies of Ponyville are blamed for the act of arson and kidnapping. Can Twilight Sparkle and Resin the dryad prevent the Everfree Forest from unleashing its vengeful wrath upon all of Equestria?
