It is said that in times of danger, heroes will come together to face the rising tide of evil, and fight back to preserve the light. These heroes can come from the strangest of places.

This is the story of one such hero. Although she appears to be Misty Brightdawn, you may be surprised to learn her true origins...

Part of the Rebirth of Magic continuity. Tags will be updated as the story continues.

This story is a sequel to Forgiven

Loosely Based on The Fall of Sunset Shimmer

How did Equestria fall? Why did Twilight create the Unity Crystals? Why did the three pony tribes split in the first place after so many years of harmony? It all ties back to that one fatal mistake, the great oversight…the folly of the Princess of Friendship…the fall of her apprentice…the fall of Opaline. Luster Dawn has moved to Ponyville with a new group of friends, leaving Princess Twilight Sparkle alone to rule in her solace. The Council of Friendship have disbanded due the remaining Mane Six having all died in a tragic accident. Closing herself off from the realm she rules, Twilight feels like she no longer has a purpose in life without her friends.

On the fourteenth Festival of the Two Sisters, Twilight is persuaded to take on an apprentice once again and chooses to take on an idealistic, but lonely unicorn mare named Opaline Arcana, who idolizes her. Seeing the opportunity to right what she considers to be her greatest mistake, Twilight takes Opaline under her wing and trains her in the ways of friendship and magic.

However, when a devastating betrayal begins to lead Opaline down a tragic path to darkness, Twilight must make the ultimate sacrifice to save Equestria….

This story is an inspiration to Phantom-Dragon since it was his idea that inspired me to make this, so give credit to him.

Opaline has barely survived her defeat. With the last ounce of magic in her body, she disguises herself as a Pegasus and plots to infiltrate the Mane 6 and steal the unity crystals. Unsuspectingly, Hitch runs into her before she can finish her plans, and begins to form a romantic bond with her.

(Other tag is due to Comet not yet having his own character tag.)

Comet doesn't regret the decision to leave his village and accompany his new friends back to Maretime Bay. But a part of him still misses his old home all the same.

Naturally, there's only one thing for Comet do in a situation like this: Talk to his friends. More specifically, his fellow unicorns Izzy and Misty, hoping that they might be able to help him.

Izzy and Misty, though not the most experienced at giving pep talks, are more than eager to share some of their life experiences with Comet. And together, they'll help him see that home is more than just where you come from.

Opalin Arcana works to collect money to buy a good phone because of breaking her adopted daughter's phone. But it's not that easy.

Journeying back to the dragon lands, Sunny requests another audience with the old dragon. She wants to know how he became dragon lord and why he left Twilight Sparkle so long ago, as well as it must have to do with Opaline.

Against his better judgement, Spike decides to share his memories with Sunny. And in the process, he might finally come to terms with some difficult parts of his past.
