Lolipop Splotch (Loli for short, most everypony calls her that) has lived her whole life in stable 12. When her attempt at writing a fanfiction puts her stable in uproar, she is forced out into the wastelands. There she must survive in a world where almost nowhere's safe, and ponies can be killed in a moment's notice. But beyond that, there lies an even greater mystery- Why so many ponies keep going missing, and what the strange markings around ghoul-covered lands mean. What's found is even greater than she had originally thought. (to be honest I'm absolute crap at writing summaries so please put up with me thank you)
