Pony of Shadows: Difference between revisions

His power enhanced by the proximity of Ponhenge, the Pony of Shadows attacked by the Pillars, but Starswirl repulsed his dark magic. Starswirl then enacted his plan, which involved casting a spell to send the Pony of Shadows to [[limbo]]...and the Pillars with him. Over time, the Pillars and their foe were largely forgotten, though the myth of the Pony of Shadows lived on, though it became distorted as it was passed down. By the time of {{FIM|Twilight Sparkle}}, the Pony of Shadows was thought to be a phantom created from {{FIM|Nightmare Moon}}'s residual magic after she was banished to the [[Moon (Friendship is Magic)|moon]].

 

 

 

Adamant that he would not be trapped again, the Pony of Shadows struggled against the portal's force and his enemies' attacks. In the process, Twilight and Starlight discovered that Stygian was still himself within the Darkness, and after speaking with him learned the truth behind his rift with the Pillars. Their words of encouragement moved Stygian to regret and a desire to part from the darkness, which refused to relinquish its hold on him. However, the combined power of the fourteen assembled ponies, their artifacts, and the Elements allowed them to pull Stygian free, bringing an end to the Pony of Shadows. Stygian was then reunited with his old friends, while the Darkness was banished to limbo.
