Earth, 2030.
The human race is reduced to one last island, one last bastion against the darkness, one last fortress, constantly assailed by the Tyrant Astra Solamina Maxima, formerly known as the benevolent Celestia.
In this dark time, they rely on one hero to save them - the Avatar of Albion, the embodiment of light.
This story, however, isn't concerned with that yet.
Equestria, 2030 (human calendar).
A strange magical signature leads High Commander Twilight Sparkle to an unknown mate. This mare has no memory of how she got here, and no knowledge of the magicks that surrounded her - but her past is darker than even she knows...
Her destiny may lead her to many places she does not want to be: the labs of the Archmagi, the holdouts, Earth, the Resistance against Solamina... but there is one place it leads that she both wants to reach and must never.
The truth.
