The Rift

After the events in Ponyville, Oliver temporaly moved to Ponyville to learn the secrets of the magic of harmony with the help of Twilight. But he was also learning very advanced spells from Princess Celestia and chaos spells from Discord, which was very surprised of the spell "Evenstar".

"Where did you got this spell from?" Discord once asked Oliver.
"From... one of my and mom's friend" Oliver said, starting to cry.
"Uuh, what happened? Did I said something wrong?" Discord said.
"No, it's just that..." Oliver responded, telling him the story of his adventure.
"That's a sad story..." Discord told him.

While Oliver was learning magic, many things were happening. The princesses were working with Marcassin to close the dangerous rift and open a safe one from Ponyville to Hamelin. Princess Luna went to a visit to The Ivory Tower to see one of her friends: Queen Cassiopeia. They were trrying to turn the ruins of the old kingdom Nazcaä lived again by both ponies and humans.

Oliver was staying with Twilight Sparkle while Marcassin and Swaine were staying at Sugar Cane Corner. Esther and her father were staying at the Apple family. Nearly everyone had something important to do: Oliver prepaired for a magic test, Marcassin prepared to bring Queen Cowlipha Lowlah of Al Mamoon and King Tom XVI of Ding Dong Dell in a royal visit while Esther was having a concert where she was going to use the mighty Clarion. Only Swaine wasn't having anything to do. He was hanging with a grey pony called Derpy Hooves.

In the night before Oliver's test, Oliver was in Twilight's library prepairing for the test and silencious training.
"I see you are prepairing for the test." The princess wake up and came down into the library.
"Uh, I wish I haven't waked you up." Oliver said.
"No, I ussualy wake up at this hour to eat a snack." Twilight calmed down Oliver.
"Oh... O.K..." Oliver said, continuing his training.

While training, he seen a very fammilliar shadow, but he
couldn't remember where he seen it.
"Jeepers, Twilight, did you seen that?" Oliver asked Twilight, pointing the shadow.
"Yes. It looks dangerous. We shall follow it!" Twilight respond. "It's heading to the main square."

When they got in the main square, the shadow was... transforming. Immediatly, it got a horribly form. Luckly, everyone was there.
"Lucien! But why do you are here?" Oliver asked.
"Hah! That weak soul... You got me rid of it! I am The Dark Djinn, the despair that corrupts souls!" The shadow said.
"We will not let you do this!" The young princess said. "Spike, the Elements of Harmony!" She told to the little purple dragon which gone back to the library to bring them.
"Ooi mun, got to fight 'im again!" The fairy said.
