So since the Pony of Shadows in issue one was apparently just Stygian's dream hijacked by Eris, what do y'all think has happened to the real one? If we're assuming that Eris' casino is in the same dimension from Legends of Equestria, I have a few thoughts:


 * Since the Pony of Shadows vowed he would "find [Stygian]", maybe he's somewhere in the multiverse hunting for his alternate self. As a result, his absence may have allowed Eris to take over, unless he was just totally okay with her activities anyway.
 * Eris may be in league with the Pony of Shadows, with her scheme enabling him to pinpoint the exact location of Stygian's Equestria. Stygian and Luna's escape may even have been allowed in order to facilitate this, with each trip they and their allies make through the mirror allowing the Pony of Shadows to narrow it down further.
 * If-as Stygian seemed to think in issue #1-Eris is a good deal more powerful than the Pony of Shadows was 1000 years ago, she may have defeated and either imprisoned or destroyed him. This is my least favorite option, as it seems a lame way to write out an impressive comic villain. It also doesn't seem like Eris from what we've seen of her; she'd want the Pony of Shadows out there causing mayhem.
