Throughout their many adventures, Starswirl and the rest of the pillars had defeated many villains before they faced the pony of shadows.

But one of them was not what they seemed, Medesa the Gorgon was misjudged, shunned, persecuted, and feared for being a creation of Grogar's.

No one gave her a chance, they only saw and treated her like a monster, and over time she became a monster.

Now after over a thousand years imprisoned in stone, she returns to the world.

Now that she's back, will the magic of friendship be able to thaw and heal her cold and wounded heart, only time will tell.
