The story, you've heard it before surely. Long ago there were two Alicorn Princesses who ruled the lands of Equestria.
One presided over the day, and the over bore vigilance for the night. They were wise and humble, and they loved everypony very much. But, love and tolerance could not stop the uprising. The ponies were victorious, the princesses fled and Sombra became king. He elected councils to divide his power across the budding "republic". If it weren't for Supreme Commander Sombra, the war would have been extremely one sided. He knew magics that rivaled the old gods, though dark as it was, it was the only choice, and it worked. The ponies of Sequestria were finally free...

It is a lie though. Sombra's courts and councils bow to his will, the public none the wiser.What he doesn't know, is that for 19 years, the Princess of the night has walked with her in her dreams, she will do as the Princess has told her. She will restore harmony and balance to her world... Through friendship...

I'm sure this has been done before.

This is my revision of Mlp, characters and themes are darker, taking place in a pony industrial revolution. This follows the life and times of a mare named Nightingale , her five friends, her loyal and ever over worked assistant as they try to handle the problems that always seem to conveniently present themselves at the most inconvenient times. I do plead, don't judge me on originality (or there lack of).
