Equestria has fallen to... them.

A plague of unknown origin created them.
Every pony, zebra, griffon, or any other that gets infected becomes one of them.
They will hunt you, and if they catch you, they will devour you, and you will be one of them.
The sanity, hope, dreams, and happiness of the creatures of Equestria has been shattered, destroyed, corrupted, and denied by them.

But Zecora still stands.
Surviving in the Everfree forest, she wants to find an end to the plague, to return hope to the survivors.
But for that, she first needs to understand them.
