(Warning: gore)
In Ponyville, ponies begin to disappear without explanation. Most assume the dangerous Everfree Forest has claimed them, just as it has countless others before. After all, the forest has always been unnatural-its clouds move on their own, its plants grow without magic, and sometimes the trees themselves seem to shift when nopony is watching.
No one suspects Fluttershy, the quiet and gentle pegasus who lives at the forest's edge.
Kind and soft-spoken, Fluttershy offers to guide lost travelers through a "safe path" in the woods. But deep beneath the canopy, the forest is starving-and it has been whispering to her for help. One by one, she leads ponies into the darkness where the forest consumes them, growing stronger with every life it devours.
When Twilight Sparkle finally realizes the forest is spreading toward town, it may already be too late. The Everfree is no longer waiting for visitors.
Now it wants neighbors.
