Gusty and Zeccaran met by chance on a east-bound train in the heartlands of Equestria. They were an odd pair, an alicorn and a zebra, respectively. In the beginning Zeccaran had no idea why or how they had become friends, but one thing was certain: Gusty had...tendencies. These tendencies were violent emotion-driven actions and decisions.

He would quickly find out that there was a tremendous amount of strange things that seemed to flock to Gusty like she was some enormous magnet. Most of the time he was merely along for the ride, having no choice in what outlandish and awesome things would occur. Zeccaran just hoped that in the end everypony important would turn out okay. Wait...Zeccaran paused thinking to himself, how in the world is this crazy mare allowed to be an alicorn?
