Cadance never really saw herself as anything special. Sure, she was the only Pegasus in a village of earth ponies. But she was never treated any differently because of that.

But on the day she saves her family and friends from a witch living in the nearby woods, she unlocks a destiny nopony could have ever expected.

At the exact same time, a unicorn filly named Twilight Sparkle does something nopony ever thought could be done. Let alone by a unicorn.

The bond the two of them forge, and those they share with four ponies they don't even know yet, will become something greater than ever before.
