This story is a sequel to The Book of Knowledge

[Sequel to The Book of Knowledge] After Twilight read enough of the mysterious book she found; she couldn't help but find faster ways to acquire knowledge, and make sure Equestria is under a fitting ruler. The last pony that could ever hope to stop her is now on her knees, begging her to see the light. Now is the time to teach her a lesson, and remind her of her failures.

Twilight always did what she thought was right. And she was ready to move on every time she saw someone she loved die. However, she comes to learn that this is not the case for Discord. She comes to learn that she has to be harsh to make things right.
