[NOT GRIMDARK]
Chrysalis may have been defeated, but that doesn't mean she is gone forever and eternally weak. She searches for a way to obtain extreme power and retake Canterlot through force. Along the way, however, she meets somepony from her past who may change her mind, and maybe even her heart, as he tries to keep her anger in balance for not only the sake of Equestria, but for him as well.
Meanwhile, tensions rise in Canterlot as Luna and Celestia argue over how to run Equestria, and ponies throughout Equestria choose a side in the matter, forming two regime-like parties: The Lunar Crusade, and The Solar Legion. Not only is everypony else divided in the issue, but the mane six are as well, and still try to hold their friendship together through the hard times Equestria is going through.
Author's Note: This story is set in an alternate universe where all technology is powered by cogs, steam, and oils. I know that it has been done before by RavensDagger with Of Steam, Gears, and Wings, but mine is less apocalyptic, and more of just a setting to add mechanical tools and inventions to Equestria, and to add the Lunar/Solar conflict. There are a couple of Noir elements as well, to add to the drama, and to create a more gothic style of setting.
Author's Note the Second: I have read the guide to the story genres recently made by Wanderer D, and have thusly decided to add a few extra genres to my story, and I have decided to create a small guide on which story arcs they are featured in below this. Alternate Universe shall not be added to the lists, as it applies to the story as a whole.
Act One: Lullaby of the Crucified = Adventure, Romance, Tragedy
Act Two: This Is Why We Fight = Adventure, Dark, Tragedy
Act Three: Salt In The Wounds = Adventure, Romance, Tragedy

Why thank you.
Interesting.
Great concept, a few grammar mistakes planted here and there, some work on the plot advancement would do you some good.
more plz.

Don't worry mate, Revenge is just the prologue, and is meant for Chrysalis' character development. The next chapter is where the real plot and stuff starts, such as witnessing part of the Lunar/Solar Conflict, and we meet three of our main characters.

Trust me mate, the next chapter will have as much clockwork and steam engines as there should be. 
Glad to see a fellow steampunk enthusiast.
To everypony who has read my story so far and favourited it and thumbs up'd it: Thank you. You have no idea how much it means to me to know that people enjoy my writing. Just, thank you.

553829 Why thank you.
I thought it would make the impact of her race becoming extinct that much more hard hitting. 
610564 Oh, but remember, you have not heard Blizz's side of the story yet. Don't you wonder why he doesn't remember her?

That's okay, it's not everypony's thing, and I can understand that.
Threw up a [NOT GRIMDARK] label for everyone, so that they can know that the story is just Dark, and not Grimdark.
