This narrative is in an alternative universe within the My Little Pony Generation 4 framework.

The story centers around a young man named Dusk Shine, who embarks on a quest to establish himself as a notable sorcerer throughout history. Dusk aspires to reach the esteemed status of a high sorcerer, much like his idol, Star Swirl the Bearded. His journey takes a pivotal turn when, after visiting the library, he stumbles upon a book that he initially perceives as an ordinary storybook. However, he soon discovers that it is more significant than mere fiction.

As he prepares to oversee "The Sunset Celebration," Dusk faces the impending return of the queen of the night, Nightmare Moon. During this critical time, he finds himself being pursued by five young women-Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie-who are eager to assist him in confronting this formidable adversary. Nevertheless, Dusk is concerned that their involvement may complicate his mission.
