Ever since the dawn of civilization, there have been numerous varieties of legends and myths. They might have originated from historical truths that have been passed down through the generations or from the fantasies of somepony from a long time ago—tales that were told around campfires and in dining rooms. Then there are civilizations. They would eventually collapse, whether through natural or artificial means. When one falls, another rises in its place. Things have always been this way since the concept of society first emerged.

Therefore, allow me to tell you a story about several curious ponies who came across antiquities from a bygone civilization and a lost age in one of Equestria's most ominous places:

The Everfree Forest

Their discovery would upend their preconceived notions of reality and expose dark secrets that were supposed to remain hidden for all time.
