Fleetfoot woke up in a dark room, slightly bruised from a rough landing but otherwise unharmed – except she is in a cage chained to a wall. Feeling more cold then confused, she wraps her wings around herself for warmth. She then noticed a large white unicorn in silver armor outside her cell, who she asks of her location to. The unicorn jumped upon hearing the tired Pegasus speak, then glared at her before leaving and quickly returning with another strange guard to drag her out of the cell. They bring her to a great white hall with many such guards and other ponies, except they are all white or have very pale shades of color.

The watching crowd gasped and murmured as the two guards forced her down and announced, “The prisoner is conscious.” Fleetfoot looked up wearily to see a white alicorn with a flowing white mane, who her who she is in a commanding and echoing voice. She answered, terrified. The alicorn scowls in response and asks her if she is a spy. Confused, Fleetfoot answers no, only to hear a disbelieving snort. Except this did not come from the alicorn, but from a shadowy area behind her throne. “She lies.” A threatening metallic voice from the shadows announced. Fleetfoot can only make out two red eyes in the darkness as she pleaded otherwise.

The shadow tells the alicorn that Equestria now knows of their presence and that they have sent this spy to prepare an army to destroy something called the Arctic Kingdom. The alicorn looks towards the figure in the shadows, then back at Fleetfoot. Frowning towards Fleetfoot he says, “Tell your princess that I, Arctic Snow, prince and ruler of the artic ponies, am coming for her and her traitorous Equestrians. No Stallion, mare or foal will escape the war you foolishly wanted to start. A war that we will end” His horn then started to glow with a white aura that quickly surrounded Fleetfoot just before she lost consciousness.
