Everything comes with a cost, even as amazing and world bending as equestrian magic is, it has its rules...and consequences

Artemis hardly wanted to move to a new school again for his father's military rotation, but that's just a part of life. Least he got to keep his books. Angela just wants to run track and get a scholarship while making some friends along the way. Though she has her own struggles to deal with. Mike Is just trying to pass his classes while keeping out of trouble, yet he's desperate for something more to come of his life.

All of them and more get caught up in the throes of equestrian magic as it influences their lives for better or for worse. Yet where did this magic come from? How come some people can use it while others can't?

Takes place in a universe ending some time after the events of the show. Mixed with EqG and FiM lore.

This story contains language, some instances of gore both in and out of a medical setting, death, existential crisis, and other content not suitable for little fillies and foals.

My first (published) story. Hope you enjoy it! Will attempt to update at least twice once a month. Tags will be added as they become relevant. Too many canon characters cycled through to list them all.

I'll also openly admit this has a collection of ideas from a lot of other awesome Fanfics that've helped inspire this story.
Friendly Fire - Starscribe
5 Score Divided by 4 - Twisted Spectrum
Brightly Lit - Penalt
A Little from Chaotic Touch of Harmony
And probably various others I can't remember. Go check their awesome stuff out!
