After staying up too late studying on the eve of a World Literature exam, a brony goes to bed only to descend into what seems a dream, yet is too real to be simply a dream. Having fallen into a dark pit he cannot escape on his own, he is rescued by none other than Discord. The reformed Spirit of Chaos guides the brony through the Circles of Tartarus, the Tiers of Purgatory, and the Spheres of Equestria, where our hero learns the reward of staying the course despite such obstacles as hatred, intolerance, and disappointed fans.
