For any pony, learning magic can be hard. For an Alicorn like Celestia, her mighty magic is even harder to master. Perhaps young Celestia's greatest difficulty with magic is the concept of power. Something so grand lurks only at the edges of her mind, beyond the preoccupations she has about the welfare of her sister and herself.

She's about to learn a bit about power today.

Gods cannot die, so what happened so long ago that ended in the total collapse of Pre-Equestrian civilization?

After many years of unspoken tension mixed with isolated peace, those that remained have received the cryptic message many never wished to see.
