This story is a sequel to Black Gold (A Nightmare Night Special)

It's Nightmare Night again! Everypony in Ponyville is so excited for the holiday where things go bump in the night, but in a good way, and let's not forget the free candy!

Everypony is excited...but Golden Flare.

His mistakes from last year have bothered him to the point where he won't celebrate the holiday anymore. He secludes himself in his home to protect everypony from what he became. Even swore to never go out on Nightmare Night ever again.

But when his inner demons come back and want to play, he'll find out that he has no say in the matter.

Will Golden face the monster he once was and be free of him forever? Or he will be controlled and fall victim to Shadow Blaze's deadly plan?

Knowing you have inner demons is one thing...

...Facing them is another.
