On a dark night filled with even darker magics, an insane cult attempts to give Nightmare Moon a body and life of her own, utterly separate from Princess Luna. But, when the spell is interrupted by Celestia, something unexpected is created.

Now, a little black alicorn filly named Nyx finds herself living under the care of Twilight Sparkle, only to be haunted by memories and emotions from her past. Is she Nightmare Moon reborn or is she simply a doppelganger with a soul and mind of her own? Can Twilight Sparkle protect Nyx from those who refuse to see past her dragon eyes and black coat?

Or, will Nyx be forced to inherit the sins that may not even be hers and become the greatest evil Equestria has ever known?

It has been ten years since the defeat of the Changling Queen, and Equestria is again at peace. Twilight Sparkle and the Elements of Harmony have reached their prime, and have begun to settle down. Love and life abound in Ponyville, especially for Twilight's friends, but she has nopony to call her own.

There is a reason.

A series of events lead to a horrible revelation, and Twilight is thrust deep into a terrifying web of secrets and lies. Her peace is over.

This time, however, she won't be fighting monsters or madponies. What she faces will be much, much worse.

Act One of Two.

Act Two is here.

Thanks to a booby trap (or an enchanted book, depending on which side of the looking glass you're on), Daring Do finds herself propelled out of the literary world and right into Rainbow Dash's room. Quite an awesome turn of events for Dash, right? After all, she's getting to meet her favorite literary heroine in person! What's not to like?

Well, how about the fact that Scootaloo has been sucked into the book? And the fact that Daring Do's adventures are slowly and mysteriously being erased word by word? And that if something isn't done soon, both Scootaloo and Daring could disappear from all of existence?

Yeah, not as awesome as you pictured it, huh RD?

Anyways, it's now a race against time as the two unstoppable pegasi must find a way to get Daring back into the realm of the written word. In the meantime, Scootaloo has to play out Daring's latest adventure and find the treasure of the notorious sea pony pirate, Das Reingold. Sounds simple enough, right? What's the worst that could happen?

...

Please don't answer that. These fillies are in enough trouble as it is.

Loosely based on Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next series.

"Princess Celestia?"
"Yes, Twilight?"

"Well, Twilight..."
