Still frazzled about the situation, "We need to quickly think about how to stop this, and fast. How did you fix the sun last time?"

Celestia cleared her throat. "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 this previously occurred, but it seemed to have self-destructed after use. I tried to recreate it after the heat crisis was over in case the sun ever revolted again, but whenever we assembled it, it just fell apart. This was after winter's return."

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

Noticing Twilight's expression, Celestia elaborated. "This same crisis occurred 500 years ago, though less hastily. It took 55 days for the sun to get only a fraction as bad as it is now in just a few hours. On the 46th day, the sun replaced the middle of winter with the peak of summer."

"What was this spell you used? We need—"

Twilight was interrupted by Celestia's audible struggle in maintaining the temperature regulation bubble. Looking upwards, the sun had become a giant red ball.

"It is getting too hot out there . . . the temperature shield is becoming too much for me to handle," Celestia stated through her grunts.

Luna cast a donation spell to help ease the strain her sister was enduring. Since Twilight did not know how to make the amulet Celestia spoke of, nor the spell, she decided to help Celestia with the bubble as well. Her horn lit up and cast the same spell to share the burden. With nothing holding back the sun, it grew exponentially, filling the sky with its red glow as if it were setting for the last time.

Instead, the heat overpowered the princesses, shattering the temperature bubble, and then the planet.
