Series takes place after DOTD. Spyro and Cynder have just saved the world. But their work isn't done yet. With Ignitus gone there's need for a new fire guardian. And with two new dragons arriving, Spyro and Cynder's relationship will be put to the test.

When dark creatures begin appearing in Equestria, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna summon the bearers of the Elements of Harmony to Canterlot. Before the six ponies can arrive, though, four strange ponies are expelled from a portal that appears in the throne room, and they explain that Equestria is not the only place at risk from these creatures.
