Twilight and her friends have been on the move ever since the disease started. Ponies all across Equestria had become thoughtless creatures that tore each other apart until the healthy were sick, not even the princesses were safe. Twilight has barely been able to keep her friends hopeful, they've all been through a lot, lost a lot. As they were walking they saw a pony in the distance, its horn in the ground as it walked. Twilight stopped the group, worried that it was an infected pony.
