“In twilight's veiled embrace, seventeen valiant souls
Doth venture through eight dimensions, elusive and vast.
Echoes of champions and their discordant counterparts
Do seek the keys that bindeth balance.

Across realms of hidden harmony and shadowed trials,
Unity is sorely tested as kin doth clash
For the scales that weigheth good against evil.

As their odyssey nears its end, a fateful choice
Doth loom in the ether:
The victor's decision, whether to embrace darkness
For dominion, or upholdeth light
For eternal harmony.” Said Nero

“Who are the other 10?” Asked sunset shaking realising she has no choice.
“Three of them is your girlfriend and her two sisters.” Replied Nero
“Still, seven more.” Said sunset still not out of shock. Her mind was racing her heart. She was thinking and praying for it to not be….Him.

“You know who. You know his name. You, have known him and his six friends since you can remember.” Said Nero confident.
“I won’t be going to him… I won’t.” Said sunset trying to hold back her tears.
“You don’t get a choice.” Said Nero and disappeared into the night sky.

Sunset broke that was the final straw. First she lost one of her closest friends. Then she almost lost her girlfriend. And now she has to retrace her steps all the way back to HIM.
“I lost again. It’s all my fault.” Said sunset crying.“I got so many killed. It’s all my fault.” Screamed sunset.
“Who are you talking about?” Asked Fluttershy.
“Someone I knew since I was… young.” Replied sunset trying to hold back her tears once again.
“But who?” Asked aria
“You will know in a weeks time.”
“At least tell his name.” Said Sonata.
“Yea, sunshine just tell us his name.” Said adagio
“H-he goes by the name Silas shadow storm.”Said sunset with hate in her words.
“How do we get to him?” Asked rainbow controlling a wave of emotions.
“Sunset it’s not only your fault it’s equally mine. Just tell us how to get to him. Let’s go at once.” Said twilight.
Sunset looked into twilights eyes with absence of understanding. “Through equestria.” Said sunset after suppressing her emotions.
“Then let the travel begin.” Said applejack confident as always.
