The world has changed a great deal since the days of the Elements of Harmony. Celestia has sunk into a debilitating sickness, leaving Equestria to fall into an endless winter. Snow has made ruins of once thriving cities, and it only gets deeper with each night.

This story is a sequel to Three Wishes: The Cutie Mark Crusaders Before They Changed The World

Twelve years after the Crusaders discovered their true nature, an ancient evil has returned. Celestia is hurt, magic is weakened, and Equestria is nearly lost. Now our heroes must find a way to fix things before time runs out, and the world falls to darkness forever. They'll join forces with friends they've made around the world, utilize amazing new breakthroughs in science and magic, and get help from some of the most unexpected of sources as they try to fix The Hole In The Sun.

Gracious prereading and editing help provided by: Dusk Watch, totallynotabrony, Mares Guyver, CMC4TW, SeaponyLover65, and Web Of Hope.

Celestia finds herself ill, poisoned due to a promise she couldn't keep, a secret she refuses to share. The cure to her condition is found within a living, breathing body that was left buried long ago, now brought beneath the sun's light.

Now the past is literally staring down her every step. Memories she fought to the back of her mind now freeing themselves, emotions she'd exiled now returning and giving their own edicts. Just how many secrets has she kept from her citizens, her sister, and ever faithful student? Can she keep her throne and the truth in order?

Or shall the goddess fall from grace and become the fifth and final "Terror" Equestria will ever face?

"The stars have faded. The moon has grown distant from me. Sister, what has happened during the thousand years of my absence? What has happened to my night?"

And a great many thanks to Barnabi for proofreading my story!

This is my first fic so please feel free to tell me just how much I screwed up in the comments.

One year after her coronation, Princess Twilight Sparkle is dead, killed by her own subjects out of fear and jealously. After the funeral, Princess Celestia isolated herself from the world, mourning the loss of her brightest student and daughter figure.

But she cannot weep forever. She must take control of her duties once more. Haunted by the memories of the assassination, and its aftermath, Celestia slowly makes her way to Twilight's resting place to find some closure.

Now With its own TV Tropes Page!

Sequel is up

(I'm going to be adding more chapters once a week, or whenever i can get my lazy ass up and write.)
Everyone knows of Luna's tragic and upsetting tale. But do they fully understand and know why it happened? Everyone's a confused as Celestia. And til' this day, all Luna can remember is the pain and suffering from it all.
