South of Equestria, the Tenochtitlan basin has had trouble lately; the city of Tegucigallopa finds itself at war with a hidden civilization to the southwest and ponies are found missing or kidnapped. But this isn't stopping Daring Do from pursuing her latest prize: a statue of the legendary "god" Quetzalcoatl, a half-pony, half-snake being with bird wings believed to come as a savior of the Tenochtitlan ponies.

Daring, out in the jungles of Tenochtitlan, suddenly finds herself within the confines of the city of Viboran, a city inhabited by half-pony, half-snake beings that revere Quetzalcoatl as an actual pony. Despite being kept inside the city until they can be sure she's not a spy from the outside, the residents and their leader - Prince Serpis - offer to help with Daring's latest quest. But something seems off to our intrepid adventurer, and she quickly smells the power struggles hidden under the surface.

Daring Do's quest now is not just a fight for a treasure; her sanity is on the line...
