An expedition by two best friends into the northern mountains… An expedition away from the ever growing hostilities between Little Pip and the Enclave… The expedition quickly becomes something much more when they find an orb; the orb holding knowledge of events that had happened 50 years prior… In the lands far north of Equestria; far north of the Crystal Mountains, stands a large town called The Shattered Gleam. Many ponies lived in the bitter cold of the arctic north trying to survive around the Shattered city. Even though creatures and the occasional raider attack towns, it’s much more peaceful that the razed lands of Equestria to the south. Even though most Mega-Spells hit Equestria, some missed their intended targets and landed in the frozen lands of the arctic north. Once these Mega-Spells activated, the arctic north was forever changed to a wasteland… And that wasteland became known as the Frozen Wasteland. It is here that a organization seeks to repeat the destruction that was wrought the day of the end of the world. And it is for that reason that they capture a Unicorn that had no idea of her destiny. A pony that was quickly captured and made to forget her past as well as her identity. A pony that may very well be the last hope of stopping the world from ending once more. This is the tale of Subject 42.
