A journey north along the Neighagra River leads a unicorn and his pegasus wife to the isolated agricultural settlement of Flora Fields. A sudden flood traps some of the earth ponies and their families on a nearby hill with no way to escape. With no other option, the townsfolk turn to the visitors for help. And so a lovely research trip turns into a terror-filled night where lives are on the line.

This story is part of The Quicksilver Chronicles, a series of stories that follow the adventures of Quicksilver and Misty as they make their way through whatever fate throws at them.
