This story is a sequel to (Almost) The Next Generation
All the Mane 6 are now married with children of their own: Gleaming Star, Apple Tree, Party Animal, Cheesecake, Lightning Blitz, Butterfly Lily, and Esmeralda. Esmeralda is having nightmares about a darkness that takes her from her friends and family. Is that darkness King Sombra’s son, Cazador? If so, can she teach him the ways of love and light?
Meanwhile, King Sombra has started a war among the ponies. Twilight, while visiting Saddle Arabia, has been forced under his control. And Applejack is grieving over the loss of her little sister in the war. And so are Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle. Will life ever get back to normal or is war threatened to change Equestria forever?
Rated Teen for violence, death, and elements of war
Gore Tag for death, but blood or graphic scenes are not mentioned
The internal logic of this story is already weird. I mean, why wouldn't the children of the Mane 6 already know each other? I don't understand why so many writers do this.
