Centuries ago, the Kirin had grown corrupt and evil, and had enslaved all the sapient races of the world, treating ponies as their playthings. However, an alicorn rises to conquer them and free ponykind. The Kirin are banished and are eventually forgotten, but the immortal beings had not forgotten the alicorn who had defeated them. It is during the golden age of Equestria when a ruthless unforeseen strike against all the alicorns leaves them without their leaders and once more at the mercy of the Kirin. Who can save the ponies now?

This is the in-depth story behind the short story - "The Time Of The Alicorn".

The alicorns were killed in a merciless surprise attack. The pegasi were nearly wiped out also, unleashing wild weather upon Equestria. Earth ponies and unicorns had also suffered losses and struggled to survive in a world turned hostile. Who were their mysterious attackers and what were their motives? Could Equestrian civilization ever recover without their most powerful leaders?
