Twilight Sparkle is the top student in Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. Her inquisitive mind and absolute devotion to the God-Princess of Equestria leads to her selection for a special duty. Together with her brother Shining Armor, a Sergeant in the Royal Guard, she is sent to Ponyville to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a young filly. The siblings are soon overwhelmed by the bizarre practices and old religions practiced by the ponies of the village.

As the mystery deepens, the pair's faith is tested by temptations of the flesh and challenges to their belief system of choice. Will they solve the mystery before the Summer Sun Celebration?

Or will an innocent soul be set to burn in an ancient and terrible rite?

From initial concept to final product, I am pleased to present this "final cut" after six long years in the making.

Rated M for frank discussions of sexual subjects, implied (and not so implied) taboos, moments of grisly horror, and several scenes of explicit sexual content.
