“I have seen the dark universe yawning

Where the black planets roll without aim,

Where they roll in their horror unheeded,

Without knowledge, or lustre, or name.”

-Nemesis

The streets of Canterlot whisper.

The northerly winds usher in sanguine snow.

Strange things are happening in the dark corners of the city.

Horrors are unfolding.

Nightmares waking from their black abysses...

The Mare in Red cometh.
