Long passed are the days of Twilight Sparkle and her friends' notorious ventures and feats of prowess. Peace is commonplace in Equestria, and for Flurry Heart, so is a lack of purpose. She hears only stories of when her aunt was younger, and in today's age, such ventures are only the stuff of legend. A Princess only for show and political interactions with her subjects. Is this truly what destiny entailed for her? Flurry believes so until a fated report brings testimony of strange happenings occurring in small rural villages within Equestria. A curse of hatred, and the villain responsible for it.
