Have you ever wondered what happened to the alicorns?

Where did Cadence and the princesses come from? What is a draconequus? Why is Spike the only "tame" dragon? The answers are revealed in the events that lead to the destruction and rebirth of Equestria, witnessed by a group of ponies who will soon become more than a group of friends- they will become the forgers of the Elements of Harmony.

Enter the darkest days of Equestria's history as Wide Eyes seeks her destiny, and brings together a group of lifelong friends in the process.

From the court of King Constallis and Queen Golden Horn, to the shadowy lairs of dragons and the dark myths of a new draconequus, to political treachery and a horrifying coup, to the farthest reaches of a forgotten kingdom and the discovery of a new salvation, to the rise of Celestia and Luna, to the thrill of true love, this historical tale- inspired by the events in Discordantly by CosmicUnicorn- follows one alicorn's tragic rise and fall as she lives through the events that lead to the Equestria we all know and love.
