“Long ago in the magical land of Equestria, I, Empress Eris Sceleste—Ruler of Ruin, Mistress of Misery, Destrier of Doom—unleashed an unspeakable evil. But, a foalish alicorn warrior stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final blow was struck, I cast a magic spell to trap her in stone, consigning her to the future where my evil is law. Now the foal seeks to return to the past and undo the world that is SCELESTE.”

YES, this is an homage (not a crossover!) to Samurai Jack, with a several other influences mixed in for seasoning. But who is our mysterious protagonist? (And what the hay happened to Celestia??)

This story is meant to be read as the "pilot episode" of a mini-series. Whether it will continue to the saga's ultimate conclusion depends on how it is received.
