Long ago, before the founding Equestria itself was an empire beneath the very earth. It was vast and extended down several miles underground, and were kept alight by life giving crystals. After several thousand years of prosperity and growth, the empire went silent, not a signal citizen of this empire has been seen or heard from since. Now after many years of silence have past, a lone pony finds herself lost in the vast labyrinth of tunnels and ruins of the old empire. Not only must she navigate the tunnels and their secrets, but she must also figure out who she is and how she came to be lost in the very tunnels she awoke in.

In a sunless world, there's no hope of light touching the world again. An evil Queen has plunged the world into a everlasting night, with elements of darkness and chaos leading her armies to total conquest. Ponies have lost their freedom and are forced to work as slaves in harsh conditions. It's only natural for a rebellion to bring the light back to a dark world, as well as the harmony that should have been there all along.

There is a princess that no one knows of—well, more correctly put, no one remembers. There is but a mention in a lone history book, written by an unknown author, and Princess Twilight wants to know more.
Now, not only is the Lost Alicorn remembered, she is found! But that is only the beginning... Because complications arise when the Lost Alicorn can't remember herself.

Import Note: After many years this story just sitting here, and me going on to different projects, I have decided to cancel this story. For the simple fact, other then my inactivity, this story wasn't going the way I originally wanted. For those who actually were enjoying this story, and for anyone who's curious, I'm going to be redoing this story entirely.
