The Gates of Tartarus, a portal into a strange and malicious realm that is the stuff of nightmares. Equestrians know it simply as the blockade to prevent the evil within from coming out. What they didn't realize was that it also kept Equestria from accidentally getting pulled into the dark world.

The gates have fallen now, the time of peace has ended, and it is up to Twilight Sparkle to set it right.
But can she gather the bearers of the elements to undo this tragedy? or will she fall prey to the now evil realm that is Equestria?

Part one of an Apocalyptic epic featuring Twilight Sparkle. This is an alternate universe that takes place just a little bit after Discord's rehabilitation, but before Twilight becomes a princess.
This is also my first story, so some critique would be very much appreciated.
