Sunset Shimmer is known as one of the greatest unicorns of her generation. With the most proficient use of pyromancy seen in centuries, mixed with knowledge of almost every arcane class in the universe and the ability to dabble in these classes, few would disagree. Especially, her teacher, Celestia.

But what if these abilities had nothing to do with the opportunities she found for herself?

Reading Twaith first is not necessary, as this is a prequel, with ties to the story coming in the last two chapters. This will be updated weekly until completion.
