Applejack is getting worried. His coltfriend, a talented Human engineer named Ashton "Ash" Casey has been acting strange lately. He's spending a lot of time at the scrapyard outside of Ponyville where he works, even outside of working hours. And even when he is home, he seems.....distant. Often muttering to himself, or jotting things down in a notebook he always carries with him. Applejack thinks it might be sleep-deprivation, but he can't shake the feeling that something else is going on. Ash seems to be working on some kind of project, which he calls "The Midland Experiment", but refuses to say anything else about it. Frustrated by his coltfriend's strange behavior, and obsession with his so-called "project", Applejack decides to go to the scrapyard late one afternoon to finally see for himself what's really going on, and when he sees it, all he can do is scream

Many stories have been told of monsters hiding underground; great beasts that lurk deep below and prey on any ponies that are foolish enough to enter their lairs.

Sometimes, however, there is something far more sinister than any beast. Sometimes, the monsters are hiding in plain sight, and you just can't see them because the lighting isn't just right. Sometimes, things that are seen as safe and approached as if they were safe turn out to be the greatest monsters of all.

She was taught to fear the creaking of branches above her head. Nightmares consist of wandering through the trees in flight, pursued by a horrendous shape just out of sight that would be her end if it caught her.

Flurry Heart knows the rules of peace that keep her village a harmonious place, as well as the laws that keep them all alive:

No one is to enter the woods.
An offering will be left at the edge of the woods during every full moon, and an offering will be retrieved every new moon.
Those who enter the woods will be made forfeit to those within, and they know not the meaning of mercy.

Never has either side dared to breach this uneasy peace, and thus each continues to survive- perhaps even begin to flourish after so many dark years of struggle they had endured.
