The Blood's Eye Event. A cult, bent on releasing their master from Tartarus, foalnapped over four dozen fillies and colts to farm them for their life energy. They fooled the princesses, avoided the detection of the guards, and would have succeeded if not for a filly and her friend.
That was two months ago.
Since then, Black Diamond had gone back to her life as Diamond Tiara, and Featherdown has been living with the recently returned Midnight Star. Both are making progress in their training as Shadow Rangers. The colts and fillies that they saved have for the most part rallied behind the flag of the filly who led them directly, flooding the ranks of the Crusaders' Manehatten Branch. The cultists have been imprisoned, with any of their escaped comrades actively hunted down by the guard.
And Demon Blood has not given up on his quest to return.
He knows who stands in his way. He knows he needs to deal with them. And thanks to them, he knows how.
The last time, he lost to untapped potential. Now his enemies will fall to the same power.
