Sol died, got a few new names to hide behind, and became a Shadow, a pony that held the powers of word and hoof magic of death. His mentor, Bluemane, died a few years after he defeated the rouge Shadow that made him. Needless to say, he has been wandering, catching and trapping various demons he comes across that threaten the peace and tranquility of Equestria. But when his mindless wandering takes him through the halls of Canterlot and a certain mirror portal, he decides to find out if magic is still a possibility, while trying to get home. Instead, he winds up helping the most untrusted trio in all of Canterlot High. The Dazzlings.
