Part One of the In the Hour Glass Series

A long ago King Sombra appeared and ruled over the Crystal Empire with an Iron Hoof. So why did he not use the power of the Crystal Heart? That is a story of a pony, one that will come to light. Over a thousand years passed and the light of the Crystal Heart grows dim. Twilight Sparkle and her friends will soon discover not just the pony but powers, heroes, and evils long forgotten. Spike finds the only remaining Firstborn Dragon and discovers more about the ancient dragons from her.

Regret. Anger. Sadness. The desire to consume all things into darkness. All things shall come forward and war threatens to engulf Equestria in shadow.

This is still 1000 Years: Aqua Star, just a different name.
