"Maybe there's more we're missing, something lost to time. Oh, I know. A book on solar history! Maybe it has something about solar anomalies that could help."

She quickly found the book, "The Solar Codex, this could be helpful."

Twilight flipped through the codex, quickly scanning each page. Something soon caught her eye, a picture of a glowing red sun. She translated it from Old Ponish.





Six-hundred-thirteen years after the Celestian epoch, the solar celestial body in the heavens revolted against us. The sun grew mad at Celestia's unending control over it, turning red and advancing in size. For weeks, the days gradually grew hotter, roasting all creatures below. On its thirty-third day of the assault, it had prematurely ended winter, melting ice and snow. On its forty-sixth day of expansion, it had grown brighter, redder, and entirely replaced the middle of winter with the peak of summer. It was not until the fifty-fifth day that the sun's anger was abated, retreating back into its original form. Winter was allowed to resume after it returned to a smaller, calm, yellow orb in the sky, obeying Celestia ever since.





"So it's been about 500 years since the sun was last active like this," Twilight pondered. "That is an oddly specific time for the sun to become hostile."

"Twilight, doesn't an enchantment spell usually last a thousand years?"

"Yeah, why?"

"According to the spell book, it only lasted half that long. If it has been 500 years, it's likely to have been the spell that stopped the sun before."
