I know this is random, but I just wanted to share this because it seemed like fun to share.

Veil of Twilight is the outcome of several story ideas I had, all in one. I about threw myself into madness trying to decide on a DECENT fanfiction. I tried so many things. And(Even before I heard Aviator's song, Her Darker Side), I eventually sat down and thought one day:

"Twilight Sparkle... She's probably one of the most powerful in magic, for an average pony. And in a lot of cases, those with great power, become crazed with the lust for more power. I wouldn't be surprised if she became evil." That mixed in with... "What if Twilight Sparkle was the evil enchantress? Now, they blamed Zecora for being one - and of course were mistaken - but what if Twilight is THE Evil Enchantress?" That sparked everything. It so much sense and from the point, I could piece together some post-apocalyptic, industrialized, world of terror and strife, under the rule of a wicked and sinister ruler. Twilight.

My first ideas were based on a slight crossover of Assassin's Creed, and focused mostly on the Cutie Mark Crusaders (Which I still MIGHT, heavy emphasis on that, do.) Now, I love MLP crossovers, don't get me wrong, but writing them, just doesn't feel right to me. I'd rather leave that job to someone else. Besides, knowing my luck, someone will probably write something similar to ANY crossover I make, and I don't want to be just another random writing a story already written five times over or more. So I tried to be more original; however, I'm sure someone else has already thought of an evil Twilight Sparkle story (I just doubt anyone else has thought of an evil Twilight story quite like mine - implying my imagination has MANY surprises in store.)

I'm just going to go ahead and answer this question, which I'm sure some of the people that read the first chapter are thinking: "Hey, where the heck is Trixie??"

Don't worry, Trixie IS in fact a main character, but she's not part of the team at first. She will be though. Just keep reading, everypony.
