Being an alicorn takes responsibility. Like taking care of not using your magic to powerfully, or using it for bad causes. But one thing that haunts you forever can change your life. This is the curse of the alicorn. And Celestia has to tell a certain lavander alicorn then sometime right? And Celestia has no idea how to tell her, or how she or herself will react when she tells her.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, I will tell you something, if you like this story, then I might make a prequel. I hope you do because I want to WRITE! XD

After years of trying, Scootaloo finally discovers her special talent.
It's the worst thing that ever happened to her. She'll have to leave Rainbow Dash and all her friends behind as she's forced to go off and learn about her new talent... and then it gets worse.

The sequel, Choices Legacy, is now available.

As always, I adore getting comments about the story; the more specific and prolific the better -- negative comments included. Your comments help make my future stories better.

Rainbow Dash's life couldn't be more perfect. She has awesome friends, a cool pet, and most importantly, a chance at joining THE Wonderbolts, Rainbow's idols and the single greatest flying team in all of Equestria.

Unfortunately for Rainbow Dash, even the fastest flier in Equestria can slip up every once in a while.

When a failed trick causes her to hit her head, she slowly starts to realize her past is a bit different than how she remembered it.

Unsure of how to deal with the flood of new found memories, Rainbow Dash enlists the help of Twilight Sparkle to help uncover the truth and find out why the past that Dash remembers is different than what these new memories reveal to her.

This story is a sequel to Magnetism!

Rainbow Dash has been foalnapped by Fluttershy’s arch nemesis, and through a mystical portal, taken to another land. Can Fluttershy, with the help of her friends, save the pony she loves? How does this mysterious foe have a portal to another land? What is this mysterious new land? Most important of all though, why does Fluttershy have an arch nemesis?

This story follows on from the events of my story, Magnetism. Reading of the story Magnetism however is not needed to fully understand and enjoy this story.

The cover image for this story is the artwork 'To the rescue?' by Zackira.

This fanfic features FlutterDash and hints/mentions other pairings such as SpArity and TwiPie to a lesser degree.

I do not - nor do I claim to - own any characters or artwork I use in this story unless otherwise stated - they belong to their respective series and owners.

On a dark night filled with even darker magics, an insane cult attempts to give Nightmare Moon a body and life of her own, utterly separate from Princess Luna. But, when the spell is interrupted by Celestia, something unexpected is created.

Now, a little black alicorn filly named Nyx finds herself living under the care of Twilight Sparkle, only to be haunted by memories and emotions from her past. Is she Nightmare Moon reborn or is she simply a doppelganger with a soul and mind of her own? Can Twilight Sparkle protect Nyx from those who refuse to see past her dragon eyes and black coat?

Or, will Nyx be forced to inherit the sins that may not even be hers and become the greatest evil Equestria has ever known?

This takes place a little bit before Twilight and her friends stopped Nightmare moon. What happened before Twilight and her friends saved Celestia, stopped Nightmare Moon, and brought back Princess Luna?

Ponies get older over time. They slow down. This is a part of life. But Rarity, Twilight, Applejack, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie can keep pursuing their dreams as they get older. Rainbow Dash can't. This is her last chance to be a Wonderbolt, and despite working her tail off, she's not getting any better. In fact, she's getting slower. She just wants things to be fair. She wants one last chance to achieve her dream.

She wants to be faster.

This is what happens when she gets her wish.

A three part story.
