The Queendom of Equestria is a mighty power, possibly even the mightiest, the only other power on the continent that would have the ability to face them being the Kingdom of Aurellia, the mysterious land of thestrals, otherwise known as bat-ponies. Situated on Equestria's eastern border, Queen Faust sends her two daughters to Aurellia in an attempt to broker an alliance. Yet, when the king is no where to be found at the palace, and no one answering their questions, the two must sit tight and wait, interacting with the king's two sons in his absence. But even they are not telling them everything, and so they must conduct their own investigation to find out just what is going on.
