In the years following the Battle of the Hoof, the New Lunar Commonwealth grew and tried to thrive. The Followers of the Apocalypse joined them in trying to make the world a better place. Threnody, a young pegasus heartmender, works hard to heal the hearts and minds of ponies who went through the terrible trials of the Battle of the Hoof. But she was rather unprepared for being transferred to the small town of Chapel, to work with 'the Patient.' The heart of a pony is a tangled web in even the strongest of souls. And as Threnody may soon learn, the most massive characters are often seared with scars of the heart. This story is a deliberate continuation of Fallout Equestria: Project Horizons, with permission and special editing help from Somber himself.
