Manipulation

by Element of Malice
Strange rumors begin to arise all across Equestria suggesting the arrival of a new adversary with no identity. But hey, when even Trixie is being called on a friendship quest what could possibly go wrong?

A crystal guard pegasus goes mad after following an unknown creature into the artic glacier field, the changelings cut themselves off from the rest of the world for no apparent reason, and the danger is unavoidable even in the human world. A new enemy has arrived and he will test the limits of how powerful friendship really is. Will Twilight and her friends overcome this new adversary or will they fall victim to his tyrannical methods?
