Twilight thought about Starlight's assessment. "Maybe we do not know as much as we should. Let's see if there is historical documentation on events similar to this one."

Twilight thought about Starlight's assessment. "Maybe we can find more specifics if we look into what happened before."

Starlight and Twilight left the amulet on the balcony and ran back to the library. Scanning the tall organized bookshelves, they found a history book that might help them save the world.

"The Solar Codex, this might be helpful."

Twilight flipped through the book, 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.

"It's confirmed, it had been 500 years since the sun was last active like this." Twilight sounded disappointed, "This didn't really tell us anything useful."

"I can tell you something useful. We need to hurry, it is extraordinarily hot outside and rapidly getting hotter. We don't have much time," Starlight warned.

". . ."

Author's Note:

Your Choices:
"Ugh, let's go back and try the amulet again."

"Yeah, I don't think we do either. So we should research spells that would help against the sun."

"I need to see Princess Celestia, now."
