A moon after the festival, Moonflower shared a strange dream with you. You passed through a doorway only you could open, beyond which awaited a shadow. After a one-sided conversation with it, you awoke confused.
During breakfast, you read your mail, and found a letter inviting you to join a new adventurers' guild: the Equestrian Voyagers Agency. You and Moonflower decided to check it out, and flew over to Ponyville.
You met Pinkie Pie the receptionist, Applejack the supplier, and Rarity the outfitter, along with their guildmaster Twilight Sparkle. After signing up with the guild, you found that one of the missions available was funded by none other than your foalhood friend Honourshine.
You reunited with Honourshine at the library, and learned that a mysterious bell you found as foals may be connected to mysterious creatures called Elves. After some catching up, she agreed to join you on your adventures.
Back at the guild, you signed up for two missions: to rescue pop star Dirt Flaxen from the Kirin Empire, and to find any information you can about the Elves. Then, you went back home for lunch together.
In preparation for your travels, Moonflower spent the afternoon brewing potions, while you and Honourshine read up on various subjects at the library. Come evening, you all met up again for dinner, then Moonflower went to spend the night at Windcaller's house to give the two of you some more alone time together.
You spent the evening with Honourshine taking a bath, and studying some magic, before turning in for the night.
Back in the dream realm, you learned that the shadow imprisoned there seems to be the soul of Empyrius. But in order to understand his fate — and how it relates to yours —, you will need a spell that allows you to better communicate with him.
The next day, you woke up to the teasing of your foalhood friend. After regrouping with Moonflower, you all hopped on the next train to Canterlot. While in the capital, you visited your friend Moondancer and a sanguimancer in hopes to learn more about your and Honourshine's forgotten pasts.
Alas, you found more questions than answers: it appeared that your memories preceding your orphanage days were stolen, and that while the two of you were closely related, you seemingly had no other family in Equestria.
Before leaving for Fillydelphia, you made one last stop at the castle, and were graced by Princess Luna's wisdom. She explained to you what it means to be an alicorn, and how it affects your magic.
You arrived in the seaside city of Fillydelphia late at night, and just out of the station, you chanced upon a strange traveller Honourshine once met before. From what little he was willing to say, you learned of his origin: the unwelcoming Dwarf kingdom.
You then moved on to meet with the crew of your voyage's ship, and played some cards with your Third Mate, Cerulean Drift, before turning in for the night.
The next morning, you got yourself a quest journal, and met with Dirt Flaxen's old band Halfpipe Avenue. Then, feeling ready for your next adventure, you and your friends set sail for new horizons.
