NOTE: I began writing this story before season two aired, so any inconsistencies you see are probably because of that.

The bearers of the Elements of Harmony are sent on the biggest mission of their life–to stop mysterious pools of darkness from destroying Equestria! Their quest: Find the great pony of legend, the Mother Pony. The problem? She's in another world, in a faraway land. And the only help the ponies have is the telepath abilities of Princess Luna, and a strange magical book made of glass that seems to know everything.

But travelling to other worlds is tricky. There's race wars and secret rebellions and cruel dictators, and on top of that the ponies have to contend with a reality that seems to behave more like some kind of game, and the return of an old enemy.
