During the rise of the Regal Sisters and the fall of the Heads of the Three Tribes, political strife ruled the land. The three tribes were ponies and the old ways often prevented other kinds of ponies to be accepted as a part of the new kingdom. But as fate and Luna would have it four unlikely heroes are pulled together and fight to preserve the rule of the Regal Sisters under the name of the Princess of the Night. Four bat ponies, a loyal soldier and one of Luna's personal Dream Walkers, a heartless assassin, a young foolish stallion chasing a legacy he may never have, and... an obscenely resourceful little filly who loves to play and eat cookies.
All these rather unlikely heroes must battle their way through the corrupt ranks of the leaders of the three tribes who are mounting a resistance to the Regal Sisters and making plans for a different empire where only three races would reign supreme. Not everyone is fit for Duty under Princess Luna but for their own fate and the fates of their princess they must pull through or see the only hope they have fall through into darkness.

We have high hopes for this story and will be exceedingly happy to post any and all fan art (along with proper recognition) donated to the cause.

Art is being made and hopefully we can pretty this project up as we progress. Even if no one donates art to it.

First fan art was submitted by the AMAZING Jazzy Q

Locating an artifact buried deep underneath one of the ancient places of study. An artifact is discovered. Though unlike many of his other artifacts there are no legends about it, there are no words or even vague writings save for one small message that they believe was written in blood found with the obsidian mirror
"some powers are not worth studying"
The only piece of the page able to be read. Naturally Starswirl the bearded's biggest fan nearly abuses her authority to be able to be first to study the artifact and of course gets sucked into the mirror to find a land filled with strife and danger. A land that the powers of friendship are not very well able to help anything with. Join the princess of friendship as she grows up, learning real lessons of honor, duty, and more mature lessons of life and the cost of ruling a nation. Will she triumph over her trails or fall victim to the many MANY dangers of Nirn.

Luna's life did not just pick back up again right were it left off when she returned from the moon. Ponies got left behind, forgotten. And of those few who supported Luna and the night, some saw Celestia's actions to be treason. When a painful piece of Luna's past returns to do more than just haunt her, all of Equestria might just fall to the pained wrath of one pony's legacy.
