This story is a sequel to To Bring Light to Eternal Darkness

Feature boxed on Feb 28, 2024.

Blue Moon is a deep blue orphan earth pony foal with a crescent moon cutie mark in a splotch of blank paint. Her talent for moving the moon interferes with day and night—favoring the night, of course. Ponies in power have begun to notice. Her life working as a ward of a workhouse/orphanage is about to change. When it means meeting a scary white fire unicorn, she worries it's not for the better.

The story takes place during the Princesses Platinum area, months after the original story. It is decades before the battle between the sisters, and years before the founding of Equestria. It is marked [Teen] because of an orphanage out of Oliver Twist. I am publishing as three chapters. They will all be published within this week.

Whilst this story is a continuation of To Bring Light to Eternal Darkness, it can be read standalone. It was supposed to be the first chapter in a sequel to the original story, but that didn't happen. It's been modified to be a short novelette. It may seem like it ends on a cliffhanger, but think of it as sparking your imagination to think about a much more interesting history for the royal sisters and Equestria.

If the story gets sufficient likes and comments, I'll consider extending it.

It's a tale long forgotten, and lost to time. How a filly who was all forgotten about until the end of days was rediscovered, and given a chance to redo her choices. But old tendencies die hard, and the future of Equestria is put at risk by Cozy Glow and her plan to rewrite history according to her desires.

There were no records. There was nopony left to say. There was no way to tell how long it had been since Chaos had taken the throne.

The sun set by His whim. The moon rose at His leisure. The earth itself could upturn in a second and transform into a swarm of bees; only if the bees weren't made of chocolate or the ground hadn't been upside down in the first place.

It could always be worse. The bees could explode, and sometimes they did.

That was only the world outside, though. That was only what lay outside of the safe, quiet forest where they lived.

But why would Celestia and Luna know about any of that, when their parents wouldn't ever let them leave?

Yeah, I dunno really where this one came from. I was just taking notes on some various pony things and some not-so-various story things, and I just kinda... got struck by some of the ideas I was having.

So, I put fingers to keyboard, and what you're about to read is what came out.

So, um... enjoy? I kinda like it, and I kinda want to make it a long-term thing. Hopefully I won't lose passion and abandon it like the others hahahahahahahahahaha

This story's more about the time period rather than the big bad chaos Himself, so, there's the premise. You're probably also gonna see my bent towards Luna, which I can't really help. Stick with me?

Warnings are redundant for now, but probably won't be someday. Tagged for safety, I guess. is that wrong i'm sorry

I stole the cover image from a guy named dimfann, I'm sorryyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Years have passed now sense the Wendigos were defeated. And the construction of Equestria's first outpost has finally been completed. The good times should be starting to begin. There not. For while the Wendigos might be gone, the old grudges between the three pony tribes have begun to reemerge, threatening to tear apart the fledgling nation before it can even truly begin.

At the center of it all is Smart Cookie, one of Equestria's original founders, as well as one of its newly appointed leaders. Thus making her responsible for finding a way to unite the three pony tribes into a single unified country. But can such a thing be accomplished when your working against generations of bullying, blackmail, and thievery between three groups of vastly different ponies? Perhaps the answer can be found with an explanation for why the the Earth Pony is suddenly seeing and hearing thunder and lightning over the horizon, when there's not a cloud in the sky.

This will be my first ever attempt at fan fiction. So please don't hold back with the constructive criticism.

Also, I'm still relatively new to the fandom, and haven't seen that many episodes in their entirety. Most of what I know has come from reaction videos and episode reviews. So please don't be afraid to point out any continuity errors in my story as well.

I hope you enjoy!

Equestria, it is said, was not made in a day. It was made through hardships, through struggle, and through the coming together of peoples who had never seen each other as anything more than enemies. But now ponykind is united, and their leaders have come together to try and guide them all in this new era of unity.

Luna is banished. The civil war has finally ended after five long years of grueling war that nearly tore Equestria apart. Now, however, when Equestria needs her most Celestia has disappeared and left her country leaderless. In her place, the three regents of Equestria have been appointed, the Lord Protector of Equestria Hurricane, the Chancellor of Equestria Puddinghead, and the Princess-Regent of Equestria Platinum. Alongside their trusted friends they must hold together a fragile Equestria on the verge of falling apart and protect it from threats both within and without. Troubling times are ahead for Equestria for this is the age of the Equestrian Regency.

Dash is very excited in the morning. Her brother is coming back after missing for 10 years. However, some of her new friends seem to know him already. Rainbow Dash also learns more about their past. She knew she was a descendant of somepony very important. But she never knew her other ancestor.

This story is a sequel to A Beginner's Guide to Heroism

Before 'Everfree' was a forest, it was Equestria's thriving capital.

In the city's earliest days, fresh off saving Equestria from an evil that threatened to steal the sun itself, Princess Platinum faces a new challenge. She and her undercover coltfriend, Celestia's apprentice Mortal Coil, set their sights on what seems like a much easier, safer, and happier task: giving the Princess a choice other than the seven horrible suitors her parents picked out for her.

Unfortunately for them, when it comes to the politics of a freshly founded Equestria, the romance of a princess is anything but simple, or safe, or happy.
