"When the brightest of stars fades and dies, the darkest of stars shall live and rise." This prophecy spells the end for one and the beginning for another. But whom? Three ponies arrive in Equestria, speaking of a disaster that will bring the entire world to an end. The time is ticking and the bearers of the Elements of Harmony as well as Princess Celestia and Luna don't have long before they can decide if they can trust them or not. Another seeks to use this power for themselves. Yet another seeks to disrupt the balance. A wish must be made to bring on the disaster as well as bring it to an end. Who does the prophecy speak of? Will friendship be enough to save the day again? Who will make the wish upon a Blackstar?
