On a cold night, he was alone in his [[Stygian's house|house]], studying [[seashells]]. He found the symmetry of the seashells to be marvelous, as it was evidence that shells were hundreds of years old, thus proving that the sea was filled with vast mysterious Ponykind hadn't even dreamed of. Even in his later life, Stygian would marvel at the mysterious that laid within the ocean, just hidden away from ponies sight.<ref name = "LOM 7 page 4">{{Cite comic book|series=LOM|issue=7|story="Stygian"|page=4|panel=|quote=}}</ref>
On a routine trip to the [[Stygian's village's beach|beach]] during the fall-soon-to-be-winter, he started digging and brushed an unique shell which he believed to be from a new species. His discovery was cut short however when he heard a mysterious voice call out to him. Before he knew it, he came face-to-face with some of the fantastical sea creatures he had only heard in legends. Stygian believed in the [[Siren]]s, but never had any way to prove their existence, only knew of the legends and folktales told about them. The trio he encountered were named
The Sirens talked of being in a band called "The [[Dazzlings]]", leaving Stygian confused.

He and the Pillars became imprisoned in [[Limbo]], and passed into the legends of Equestria. A descendant of Stygian's named [[Shadow Lock]] eventually discovered records of the Pony of Shadows, and feared that Stygian would return or that the darkness would claim him as it had his ancestor. As such, he set out to erase all record of Stygian in the hopes that it would prevent him from returning. Fortunately, {{FIM|Twilight Sparkle}} helped him realize that destroying all records might prevent them from being able to defeat his villainous progenitor if he returned. Shadow Lock thus set out to find records that would help defeat Stygian, unaware that [[Starswirl's journal]] was located in [[Ponyville]].<ref name = FIM51>{{C|FIM|51}}</ref><ref name = FIM52>{{C|FIM|52}}</ref><ref name = FIM53>{{C|FIM|53}}</ref> This volume eventually made its way into the hooves of [[Sunburst]], a scholarly young Unicorn.<ref>[[Uncommon Bond]]</ref><ref>{{C|LOM|6}}</ref>
Eventually, Stygian was freed from Limbo, returned to normal, and reconciled with the Pillars after a thousand years of imprisonment. Wanting his own side of the story to be told, Stygian later traveled to the [[Crystal Empire]] and left one of his journals on
