500 years prior to our time, Celestia embarks on a mission across the sea to the shores of the Dragon Lands to meet the newly-crowned Dragon Lord, in the hopes of resolving the conflict between their lands. Having recently usurped his father and having no interest in peace, the new Dragon Lord unleashes a blast of fire at the sand beneath Celestia’s hooves, glassing the ground around her. Thanks to her magic however, Celestia is unharmed… and very unimpressed.
