30 years after the war

Princess Luna trotted with Twilight Sparkle towards the cave that was reported to have housed a very powerful being, they said nothing as they walked in the mouth of the cave Twilight looked in awe of the inside of the cave the unnatural way it glowed with multicolored rocks along the wall seemed to her more other worldly than some of the creatures she's seen in Equestria. Upon entering what she assumed was the inner sanctum of the cave, they found what they were looking for; it looked like an egg a glowing rock egg being held up by a circle of red diamonds; “What was inside this thing” Twilight asked still looking at the egg the inside was black there was no other color inside not even reflections of the light created by the light spells illuminating the room. “That's what we're trying to figure out Twilight” Luna replied looking at the egg shaped object, “we received a tip from an unknown source that Hanz's... followers have been seen around the islands.” To Twilight this seemed like a risky move for Hanz, but perhaps whatever was inside the egg was worth it; later after the two ponies left the egg began pulsating and slowly faded away to the amazement of the royal guards stationed there.
