Once upon a time…

There was a world that died expect for a little island, and on that little island the last of an entire species fought to survive and preserve what they are and all that is left… while being led by their champion.

David Elliot was the Avatar of Albion, destined to save the world from a Tyrant Sun… had he not gotten lost along the way.

Once upon a time…

There was a world where demons roamed and a potion meant to change a human being into a "perfect" pony instead brought nothing but madness and the lust for blood…

Once upon a time…

There was an island in Equestria ruled by the Nightmare itself…

Once upon a time…

The last bastion of mankind waited for the end, knowing that the time when a Tyrant Sun would lash out at them is coming…

Once upon a time…

David Elliot was the Avatar of Albion, destined to save the world from a Tyrant Sun... had he not gotten lost along the way.

But he has not been sent to a peaceful Equestria as was his supposed destiny; instead, he has an entirely different path ahead of him, one filled with new companions, new adventures, and the promise of darker things to come…

For once upon a time, a shadow moved beyond the realms of flesh and matter… and its time was finally beginning to come.
