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?

Eight years is a long time, but not nearly long enough to heal and forget when you've been let down by the only pony that mattered to you. That's at least how Autumn Butterfly feels when she suddenly end up bumping into her ex-husband Apollo for the first time since their divorce eight years earlier.

Water Lily is only eight years old, and when your that little, it's hard to understand why your mother lock herself in her room and cry endlessly, especially if it is because of a father you never met.

Three ponies: a stallion, a mare and a foal. The mare and stallion know what's going on, and they need to solve the situation for the sake of said foal. Will it all work out in the end, or is it just going to bring more hurt to the hearts of these poor ponies?
