A year has passed since the wedding incident, and the passing of Ponyvilles once beloved librarian/ element of magic. Shining armor, now the prince of the Crystal empire and the captain of the Crystal guards, is struggling to forgive himself over the events last year at the hands of his corrupted sister. With his parents continuous hatred towards their son, he begins to wonder if he can truly redeem himself over his past actions and earn back his parents love.

Side note: Shining armor will be the main focus of the sequel, Applejack and the others will make some appearances here or there though and have their moments as well.
