It's been a week since Princess Celestia entered Starlight Glimmer's nightmare, and watched a twisted version of herself do battle with Nightmare Moon. The sight of her darker side awakening within her hasn't sat well with the princess of the sun. All she can do though is hide her turmoil behind a graceful smile, to maintain her image in front of her subjects.
After a gratuitous day of royal duties, Celestia gets a surprise visit from Discord, who knows about her experience with her fiery alter ego and wants to see it for himself. While hesitant at first, Discord manages to push the right buttons and ignite the flame of Celestia's anger. That anger takes control of her and unleashes her inner demon, the tyrannical and conceited alicorn, Daybreaker. While Discord is eager to explore this darker side of the princess, the alicorn might be too hot for even the master of chaos himself to handle.
