Double Diamond has always been the right hoof of Starlight Glimmer, a cruel dictator obsessed with the idea of radical equality. He meekly shared all her ideas and followed all her orders. What was behind this blind devotion all this time? Will he now be able to reject old ideals and get used to a new life in the village in order to become a good mayor for its citizens? Will he dare to reveal to everyone the most important secret of Starlight? Will the other ponies forgive him, and most importantly, will he forgive himself?
He will try to find answers to all these questions...
