Escaping before a desolating onslaught on his village, a hurt pegasus stumbles into Ponyville. All seems like he could just forget and start a new life, only if those nightmares of the past stopped plaguing his dreams.
Once a word arrives that all once dear to him maybe wasn't lost ultimately under the hooves of a raging army, he is torn. Should he hurry to get answers and revenge or protect those that helped him back on his hooves?
