Equestria is dead. The sun and moon have stopped, and the planet is in ruins. The xenos that built the civilization are gone, their works in ruins. Investigating the planet, Interrogator Kylara makes a surprising discovery, one that might hold the key to what happened to this once-fair land - and what might be done to stop it.

It takes the form of a series of interviews between Interrogator Kylara and an increasingly deranged Twilight Sparkle, with the former trying to coax the mystery of what exactly happened to Equestria from the latter.

Now with a sequel, [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/202148/of-xenos-and-war Of Xenos And War]], detailing Twilight's time with the Imperial Inquisition in its war against the eponymous dark ones.

The original is complete, but the sequel is ongoing as of July 2014.
