Luna sends a challenge to the fillies and colts of Ponyville. During Nightmare Night, with the help of Discord’s magic, she turns Ponyville into a hunting ground of monsters, beasts, and foul creatures. Who is the hunted and who is the prey becomes unclear as a small band of friends struggle to make it through the night and accomplish their task.

Princess Luna gets corrupted by Discord into becoming Nightmare Moon once again, and its up to her sister to show her true love to save her from Discord. The main six try to escape the caves beneath Canterlot while Celestia tries to reconnect with the elements on the moon.

Upon her defeat by the Elements of Harmony, Nightmare Moon is forced by Celestia to exist in a mortal Earth pony body and experience the mortal world she so despised. Nightmare Moon crosses paths with a Great and Powerful pony who herself is on her own journey of discovery. Darkness does not yield easily to the light and Nightmare has to face the most terrible enemy of all: herself.

Life is like a soundwave. One moment your life is perfect, the next it could be disastrous. You never know just how good or bad something will be until you experience it. Nyx could tell you you this from experience. The past few years were perfect and calm. But with the discovery of an arcane object, that changes instantly for her.
