This story is a sequel to Hope and Fear: Sunset Past

You should probably, you know, read the first story first. It might be a good idea.

Princess Celestia saw Alan get turned to dust in the caves under Canterlot. She saw her former student Sunset Shimmer run through the magic mirror just before it closed. She now knows the possible danger Equestria is in. She found six bearers of the Elements of Harmony to help protect the land. The six helped save Equestria many times. But now, their biggest challenge is coming, and they're going to need all the help they can get. The mirror to other worlds is reopening, and nopony knows what's going to walk through.

What dangers will show themselves, and what secrets will finally be revealed?

Princess Celestia is worried about Sunset Shimmer. Her student seems to be slipping away from her.

Sunset doesn't understand why her mentor has given the task to learn about the Magic of Friendship. All she wants to do is learn about magic, and move onto higher level spells.

Princess Celestia is willing to do just about anything to keep Sunset Shimmer from giving up on her lessons, including telling her a secret she's kept for over 1000 years. But when the secret gets out, how will it affect Sunset, and how will it effect all of Equestria?

And when you're done with this story, and you liked it, you should pop on over and read the sequel. It's right over here!
