When facing Twilight Sparkle, Nightmare Moon was given a choice: redemption or revenge. What if she had chosen the latter? A grim fate awaits Equestria, but in a time of greater strife and conflict, Discord's return is accelerated. While he expected to bring chaos, he did not anticipate that he would end the Longest Night and bring hope and joy back to the land.

Discord struggles to reconcile his nature with his desire for admiration. While Twilight's friends strive to carve a new life in the ever-shifting Equestria, she searches for Celestia, the only one who can bring harmony back to her lands. But Nightmare Moon also seeks her sister in a desperate attempt to find her place in the world. New dangers lurk in the wild and more threaten to fall over Equestria. Nightmare Moon's decision broke the balance of the world. Will Equestria ever turn to peace, or will the spiral of chaos and destruction be the end of everything?

(An alternate history, this story takes the universe established by the canon and explores one possible outcome if Princess Luna had not been redeemed.)

Special thanks to my pre-readers, MmmandarinOrange and DarkmatterButterflies for keeping my head on, taking the journey of the story, and making it so much better than it would have been if I wrote it alone.

After the changeling invasion, Princess Celestia realizes that far worse threats to Equestria may be out there, waiting to attack. Twilight Sparkle needs to learn a way to combat these threats without giving up who she is in the process. Enter Eclipse, a long-forgotten ally to Celestia and Luna both, whose magic may be just the thing Twilight Sparkle and Equestria needs.

AN: Okay, the OC... I won't tell you to give him a chance, because that's presumptuous. I just ask you to trust me.

Spike wakes up after sleeping for 1,000 years. When he exits his cave, he's astounded to find that Equestria is black and gray with ash and ruin. The realization is instant; what's become of all his beloved friends? Would the letter with Celestia's seal hold answers? Spike takes a soul-wrenching walk through memory lane as he visits Ponyville, recalling all the times, good and bad. He's never felt such emotion torment, and the trauma may be for naught. Rated Teen for feels!

When Sweetie Belle got zapped during the Zap Apple Harvest, no one thought much of the filly's light electrocution. However, the zapping has given her a most unusual ability... the ability to change the color of objects, temporarily, into the colors of the rainbow. This is surprising to the little filly, as she has yet to achieve mastery of most magical arts beyond a novice.

Naturally, her adventurous streak gives her an idea. Sweetie Belle will become a superhero. She is the vibrant guardian, the watcher of the palette. She is...

Zapfilly.

To save her sister and her faithful student, Celestia herself must travel into the ancient tunnels beneath the ruined castle in the Everfree Forest. She, and the guards who accompany her, must face the dark, twisting corridors. Still, what was Luna and Twilight's purpose at the old castle? Why were they unable to return of their own accord?

And what watches Celestia from beyond the light's edge?

Thrust headlong into a strange new world, Solaire of Astora must make amends before he can continue with his mission. Unbeknownst to them all, a shadow from his past approaches.
