Dedicated to my friends, for pushing me to write even when the world turned on me. Thank you.

On the eve of the Summer Sun celebration, Ruby Star was in initiation to join the Solar Empire. Dawn was rising, and soon she would be part of the biggest cult in history. Little did she know that today, Celestia would shadow the sun, creating night for only mere seconds. Now, Ruby Star has practically stolen half of Celestia's godly power.

Can she survive the energy that flows through her? Only Black Sun, the previous owner of godly powers unlike any other, could be able to tell. Yet she shadows herself in mysteries, making it impossible to communicate with anypony but Twilight Sparkle, her lifelong enemy. What will Ruby Star do now? Will she rise up, accepting her destiny to defeat the New Lunar Republic, or can a small mare with unbelievable willpower bring two colonies together?
