Equestria isn’t necessarily the safest place to be. Monsters roam around and several travelers fall victim to said monsters. It’s a tough life, but many manage to make it by.

When Twilight Sparkle gets a letter from Princess Celestia to go meet her in Canterlot to talk about the monsters, she’s interested in what she has to say. So, Twilight Sparkle leaves her peaceful little town of Ponyville to meet up with the princess, and sets out on an adventure unlike she’d ever been on before.
