10 Years ago, before the Mane 6 gained their cutie marks, the apprentice travelling merchant Tinker Trader came to the town of Ponyville to open up trade contracts with a few residents. And there in that sleepy hamlet, his merchant's eye view of the world was brushed aside by those ponies there as casually as drawing a breath.

Now that he's back, those challenges may prove the end of everything he thinks he knows.

A story that will grow in the telling, of friendships, and of discovering them anew, worth far more and far deeper than what was ever thought possible.
