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 [[Seasea ponies]]creatures he had only heard in legends. Stygian believed in the sea ponies[[Siren]]s, but never had any way to prove their existence, only knew of the legends and folktales told about them. The seatrio ponieshe encountered were named [[{{IDW|Adagio Dazzle|Adagio]]}}, [[{{IDW|Aria]] Blaze|Aria}} and [[{{IDW|Sonata]] Dusk|Sonata}}, respectively.<ref name = "LOM 7 page 5-7">{{Cite comic book|series=LOM|issue=7|story="Stygian"|page=5-7|panel=|quote=}}</ref>
 
The sea poniesSirens talked of being in a band called "The [[The Dazzlings]]", leaving Stygian confused. Adagio soon hostilely verbally attacked Stygian when he claimed that his town wouldn't appreciate their music. Eventually, Stygian grew flustered and ran away from the Dazzlings to get back to his responsibilities.<ref name = "LOM 7 page 8-9">{{Cite comic book|series=LOM|issue=7|story="Stygian"|page=8-9|panel=|quote=}}</ref>
 
Despite his bad encounter with them, Stygian was extremely excited about his meeting, running home as fast as possible to learn more of them. Stygian made quite the scene in his town before he eventually made it to his home where he didn't waste any time trying to locate his copy of "[[Starswirl's Guide to Magical & Legendary Creatures]]". Stygian soon discovered that not even Starswirl had met a sirenSiren, but that the aged wizard believed them to be go good, as they thrived on the negative energy of others around them. Before he could read further, a [[Purple filly of Stygian's village|purple filly]] informed Stygian that he had to help [[Ms. Malus]] with her chores.<ref name = "LOM 7 page 10">{{Cite comic book|series=LOM|issue=7|story="Stygian"|page=10|panel=|quote=}}</ref>
 
After a long day of trimming her bushes, washing her dishes and thatching her baskets, Stygian decided to go back to the same spot and research the Seaponies once again, this time without getting flustered.<ref name = "LOM 7 Thatching">{{Cite comic book|series=LOM|issue=7|story="Stygian"|page=12|panel=1-4|quote=}}</ref> On his way home however, he noticed something odd. Not only did Malus not come back from her trip, but he didn't see anyone in town. To his horror, the Dazzlings had performed their concert in his village, hypnotizing everyone and turning them into their slaves. Stygian made a mad dash back towards his house for safety. In his panic, he came across a book [[The Great Heroes of Equestria]], written by [[Starswirl the Bearded]]. As the last citizen of his village left, Stygian sought out to embark on a quest to save his people by uniting a party of the greatest heroes to ever live.<ref name = "LOM 7 page 11-17">{{Cite comic book|series=LOM|issue=7|story="Stygian"|page=11-17|panel=|quote=}}</ref>
