"We must have overlooked something historical. The spell lasts half a millennia and the amulet was made around the same time, perhaps something more happened 500 years ago."

Starlight and Twilight ran back into the castle's 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 rule of Celestia began, 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 fully replaced the middle of winter with the peak of summer. It was not until the fifty-fifth day that the sun's anger was cured, 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.

Twilight nodded, "This confirms it. That spell was used 500 years ago to combat this same problem. So was the amulet. Also that this time, it is much faster at expanding. Reaching what it did last time in a few weeks, in just hours now."

"That didn't help at all . . ." said a disappointed and tired Starlight.

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.

Starlight was out of breath and on the brink of collapse. "We have to cast the—spell."

Twilight tried to use magic, but it was too hard. Her vision was doubled and blurry, but not enough to prevent her from witnessing the red sun taking over the Equestrian sky.

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

As she fell, so did the planet.
