Set in Lopoddity's Pandora-verse, where Discord and Twilight had a daughter. Pandora wants to know if draconequuses have their own country. After Discord's attempt to correct her pronounciation is mistaken by Pandora for the name of the country, Discord tells her a bedtime story about the fate of the country Draconequui and all the draconequuses that ungrammatically lived within it. And dad-trolls the heck out of her in general. Written with permission.

(Image is actually from moments after Pandora's hatching, though I may replace it if Lopoddity publishes a Discord-and-Pandora image that seems more apropos.)

This story is a sequel to Light and Shadow

It's been over a decade since Luna's return, and much has changed.

Some of the changes, you may not know yet.

Of those wonders known to the public the Lord of Chaos rose, and fell, then rose again, an ancient queen attempted to take the land of ponies for herself and an empire lost to time was reborn. An apprentice became a successor, and then her own mare as a new Equestria was born under the watchful eye of a princess imbibing the point between the Light and the Dark.

And then what?

Until the unfolding of a fifth set of stories, if one emerges, one can only hope to view the evolving world of Equestria through the eyes of a young gray colt becoming a stallion, hardly aware of the changes he might witness, but keenly able to influence them. The powers of love and magic move without rest in a conquest that shakes the known world to its very roots.

What precisely happens in the lull between the seasons?
