ATTENTION: This story is going through a rewrite. STAY TUNED.

Relinquishing the Elements was the toughest decision Twilight thought she'd ever have to make, but as a primordial evil emerges from the depths of oblivion, she finds herself faced with even more difficult choices.

If they are to overcome their strongest threat yet, they must find another way to stop it, but with their only lead still confined in a chest, no one knows what else to do.

But Discord does.

With the draconequus as their guide towards their only course of action, Princess Celestia and the Mane Six have no choice but to believe him. Will Twilight and her friends have what it takes to defeat this evil before Equestria decays into a world of shadow and darkness? And will Princess Celestia and Discord be able to overcome the past in order to prevent the end of Equestria as we know it?
