Taking place before the Season 4 finale ever happened, a unicorn weilding powerful dark magic rivaling King Sombra awakes from a thousand year sleep, stopped by Celestia herself. Unfortunately, with the Elements of Harmony placed back in the Tree of Harmony, Celestia, Luna, and Twilight Sparkle failed to stop Lucifer, slain by his powerful arcane arts. As all hope seemed lost, there is one who can finally end the fifteen long years of his tyranny, and that pony is Princess Twilight Sparkle's flesh and blood, Solaris, the firstborn male alicorn in Equestria's history. The teen must go through dangerous challenges with the help of the remaining five Elements of Harmony, but with each test comes a grave cost that will scar him for the rest of his life. Will the young prince be able to stand triumphant and defeat his foe, or will the emotional scars tear him apart and make him falter in his endeavors?
