"I cry. I weep. Will I ever see light again? It is...[sic.] tragic. I can't remember the glowing stars, I can't remember the sunshine, I can't remember the light of friendship or companionship. All I remember is Tartarus, the place of the damned. I remember only night, I remember only death. Is this what it is like in death's other kingdom? Have the eyes guided me here to stay for eternity? I don't know...."
-the Tartarus Journal

There is a new threat in Equestria...the Shadow Ponies. And they are much more dangerous than any previous foe. The Shadow Ponies are lead by an evil entity that the Mane 6 thought that they were rid of for good...Nightmare Moon. In order to stop this new threat, the Mane 6 will have to find and team up with a pony that is said to be no more than a legend...the Dark Defender...who happens to be a shadow pony himself.

But how will the Mane 6 defeat the new form of Nightmare Moon...if her destruction would mean the death of an innocent filly?

Princess Celestia has told Twilight that Daxelia was an orphan that she had taken in. But that's not the whole story. Every year, Celestia returns to West Fillydelphia on the night that her's and Luna's friend died. But it seems that Celestia has a second reason to return. Daxelia's parent's died on that same night.

Daxelia has lived a good normal life, regardless of her living in a rather run down part of Fillydelphia. Although, she does have these bursts of magic when she's surprised. However, on her 5th birthday, her life goes spiraling down hill. She loses her parents, she gets foalnapped, she has to spend 2 months walking back home, she finds out that she has no home anymore, her friend has left, and her only home is a fort that she made with her friend.

But even though her life has seemingly gone down the drain, it seems there is someone watching over her, making sure she has food and water. It seems that she has...a guardian angel.

Rated Teen for murder.

(NOTE: I decided to separate 'Dax's Despair' from 'The Dark Defender' since this is her story no matter what story Dax is in. And I may choose to delete The Dark Defender entirely.)
