With a single image, it fell apart.

Nearly two thousand years have passed since Equestria had last witnessed what she could do when provoked...and now, it has witnessed her again.

The mission to reunite with her family?
'Disaster' a befitting word for what it stood upon the edge of.
Her actions, and inactions; both the remedy and the cause.

The heartlessness of another her enemy.
What she must now repair, to salvage any of what she dreamed of having.

Although,
Equestria is timeless, and unshakable in the end; A place where darkness can never keep its grip, and rolls away into the 'all but forgotten'.
Her ponies are at her side. Together, as are the stars, they are points of light amongst the darkness that had fallen.

I keep much of what the strong tags refer to as; implied, off screen, and indirect most of the time. Though the elements/events are technically there none the less.
