Hearth's Warming Day is coming and this was Equestria's first year of global snow. It has been 7 Years since the defeat of Grogar, Chrysalis is remade Queen, Cozy Glow is now a student at Twilight's school, and Tirek returned to his home to make amends with his brother, Scorpan. All is peaceful in the land, and all living things thrive well in the world...

Uuuunnntil a new threat arrives into and over Equestria. Grogar may have been the Big Bad in earlier times, but what no one ever found out was that he was merely the pawn of a greater threat that has watched the heroes' triumphs from the Beginning of Time!

When being forgotten, neglected, and abused goes too far, a youngling runs away in pain and sorrow.

But that youngling has unknowingly released the one who has come to the world before, and returns as a grave threat to the entire Highverse! The ponies and everyone else of the Highverse have tried everything to stop this threat, but all fail against it in vain.

Everything now falls into Spike's hands, but what comes ahead is the one thing that has been nagging at his mind for his entire life.

This is their story...
