Horrible heat, blinding light. Celestia screaming in agony. Dying. The intense light blinds her and a deafening noise assaults her ears. Masonry breaks apart and glass shatters. Death. Hurtling through the air. Falling. Crashing. Bones snapping. Fire everywhere

As the unicorn returned to her senses for the second time, waves of pain tore through her nerves once again, and she whimpered weakly. This time, however, the pain was only the lesser of two evils. While she slept, she had had that terrible nightmare. One that seemed horribly real yet was unbelievable. As she recalled the dreadful and chaotic mess of images and impressions, she realized she had seen it all before. Had it been a dream then?

It had been a nightmare, one that had already come to pass; Celestia and Luna are dead, killed by a mysterious foe, and a devastating explosion has wiped out the entire Canterlot palace. The only survivor happens to be Twilight, living where two immortals have died.

Eternal night now possesses Equestria, and the unicorn is thrown into a world of madness and fear, working with her friends to try to discover what happened to their princesses and how their now dystopian world can be saved.

A huge thanks to my proofreader Some Person, who has played a great part in improving pretty much every aspect of the story.

What would happen if Pinkie Pie started talking, I mean REALLY started talking, and you couldn't do anything to stop her?  

The result of a challenge I gave myself: To write a whole story without using a single full stop.

One day, Apple Bloom starts to wonder about her zebra friend's past. Why did Zecora leave her home to come all the way to Equestria's Everfree Forest? How did she become so skilled in brewing potions?

After some consideration, Zecora decides to tell the filly of her early life, and how one zebra ended up changing Zecora's life forever.

From the initial settling of the world by the mighty alicorns to the fall of the cruel tyranny of Discord and the rise of Nightmare Moon, the world of ponies has always been dictated by the actions of the immortal ones.

Discord struggles to find meaning in a world belonging to his enemies, Luna despairs over the night that is so thoroughly detested by her peers, and Celestia must choose sides in a neverending battle between chaos and harmony, light and dark, and love and duty. This is their story.

This is the complete reboot of the very first story I wrote for FIMFiction. The original can be found here:
