Proceeding the events of Dark as Chitin, our protagonists finally have time to relax and settle into their roles within Equestria, or so it seemed. Chimera and Luster Dawn are faced with a new challenge, guardianship of a, particularly naughty filly. Chrysalis, on the other hoof, is having trouble re-entering society and conforming to the norms of pony-kind. Meanwhile, Soul's adjusting to his role as The Lord of...Nothing.

As everypony carries on with their lives, a threat looms just outside the edges of perception, possibly threatening all that ever was, is, and will be.
