Six strangers are transported into a strange new world. What first seems like a tragedy soon turns into an opportunity for a new life. But something darker lurks behind the facade of perfection... something that threatens the fate of more than one world.

But there is another in Equestria who knows exactly what they went through. One who knows what they will go through. And one who will do anything to keep them from suffering the same fate that he suffered so long ago.

Follow the story of seven people who were at the wrong place at the right time as they struggle to adapt and thrive in Equestria, and as they seek to discover why they are here, and why they are Needed.

Part One of Three.

Warning: Will be VERY long.

Point of view jumps around with each chapter, but the character's name is always given.
