"I'll start with the . . . the . . . book on solar history. Maybe it has something about solar anomalies."

She looked carefully across her alphabetically-organized history books, of which every alphabetical letter was organized by its historical relevance. Thanks to her impeccable organizational skills, Twilight located the desired book with ease.

She immediately opened 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.





"This has happened before! It's been about 500 years since the sun had an event like this," Twilight pondered. "That is an oddly specific time for the sun to become hosti—."

Twilight struggled to catch her breath. Twilight struggled to catch her breath. It was practically an oven more than a building now. The thermometer Starlight had used maxed out at 210 degrees.

"I have to—" she couldn't get any more words out. Her vision was doubled and blurry, but not enough to prevent her from witnessing the sun taking over the Equestrian sky.

"No . . ." Twilight murmured to herself before falling to the floor.

As she fell, so did the planet.
