Line 71:
At Rockhoof's urging, Starswirl allowed Stygian to take the leader, and he soon confronted the villain who had abducted the princesses. Surprisingly, when their magics clashed, the two were evenly matched, and both were thrown back by an explosion. Stygian then used his strange power over the villain's minions to rescue the princesses, and after telling the monster his name escaped home with the other Pillars. Stygian expressed great pleasure at having been able to be a hero, though he was somewhat troubled by his ability to command the monsters of the other world.<ref name = ANNUAL2018>[[Legends of Magic Annual 2018]]</ref> Stygian also held on to a piece of the mirror that led to that world after Starswirl asked Rockhoof to smash it.<ref name = "NK1">{{Cite comic book|series=NK|issue=1|story=|page=|panel=|quote=}}</ref>
 
Sadly, Stygian's ambitions would lead him to become a villain, unknowingly following in the footsteps of the villain who abducted the princesses, who was in fact his own alternate self.

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 {{IDW|Sunburst}}'s doorstep. After reading it, Sunburst tracked him down and told Stygian that, contrary to the former Pony of Shadows' own opinion, he had proved himself a hero. Grateful, Stygian then offered to let Sunburst read a second journal detailing his adventures with the Pillars.<ref name = LOM7/><ref name = LOM12/>
