The peace of a morning in Ponyville is shattered by the arrival of a being from another world, intent on taking revenge for crimes against his home - except that nopony remembers committing those crimes.

This being brings a tale of woe, of a world at war. He brings a tale of a dark mirror and the crimes of a Tyrant wearing a familiar face. His arrival will be the catalyst for the great battle of our time. Innocence will be lost, lives will be shattered, and for the crimes that have been committed by this dark mirror, there will be justice…

… and vengeance.
