Prince Blueblood has returned home after a smashing trek to another world. He is completely prepared to live out his life inventing bigger and better uses for the Come to Life spell, and pursuing his choice of hobbies.
Life has other plans for him, as is often the case. An old family oath calls him to Tartarus, the magical prison designed to hold Nightmares at bay. There he must confront a dying warden, an ancient curse, and a bevy of monsters that would like nothing more than to see Equestria become a wasteland.
It will not be easy, but a number of friends both old and new will be willing to lend a hoof. Maybe. Hopefully. Eventually.
Nightmares and dreams, oaths and curses, friends and foes, what's an alicorn prince supposed to do with all of that?
