"What in the wide land of Equestria is happening?" Twilight shouted alarmingly — twilighting.

"Five hundred years ago an amulet was made, one of great power. It was a solar amulet that amplified our protection spells and directed them at the sun. I made it when the sun first revolted against us, but it seemed to have self-destructed after use. I attempted to recreate it after the heat crisis was over in case the sun ever rebelled again, but whenever we tried, it just fell apart. This was after winter's return."

Twilight tilted her head in curiosity. "Winter returned? What do you mean?"

Celestia elaborated. "The sun was not as quick to expand as it is now. It took 55 days for the sun to get only a fraction as bad as it is currently. On the 46th day, the sun replaced the middle of winter with the hottest peak of summer. Now freed from captivity once again, it has become increasingly enraged with revenge."

"Science has progressed since the last time this happened. The sun isn't angry Celestia, it is old. Keeping it trapped didn't stop it from aging. It is expanding faster now because the older sun is free from the spell."

"Good to know, Twilight, but we do not have time to change the olden methods at the moment. Finding a new way to deal with the sun would take too long."

"Right . . ."
