This story is a sequel to Fear of Dark

After falling from one Canterlot castle's highest towers, Twilight finds herself comatose, and trapped within her own mind. In order to escape, she has to find out what happened to her.

This story is meant to accompany a concept album I have written, you can listen to it here: https://seventhelement.bandcamp.com/album/in-her-mind

Nightmare Moon won. She defeated Celestia, broke the Elements, banished the sun. This all happened a very long time ago. So long ago, that she has had plenty of time to change her mind.

Of course, fixing our mistakes is never so simple, and never without consequences. Even with particularly potent help.
