For light to exist, darkness must exist as well. Even as happiness spreads throughout Equestria when a new princess is crowned, an ancient evil is at work. A starved and desperate nation searches for sources of food, but ends up getting something entirely different. With questions in the present that can only be answered by the past, an old shadow lurks, making ready its return. (Takes place immediately after season 3)
