We all know the story of how Twilight learned of the fact that Nightmare Moon was returning and how she both found and became one of the Bearers of the Elements Of Harmony, but what if there was another legend she read before that. What if, the legend of 'The Phoenix Princess' was also real. And what if the legend was centered around Twilight herself.

Well Read on and find out how 'The Phoenix Princess' and 'The Legend Of Nightmare Moon' are linked and why it seems that they are converging on Twilight Sparkle.

After performing a spell that shouldn't have been for the sake of sanity, the unicorn, Twilight Sparkle, discovers that she is more than Celestia had said.

Now, Twilight must face frightening facts and train to fight with help from Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. She must learn who she really is.

Inspiration from Rick Riordan's series Percy Jackson and the Olympians and The Heroes of Olympus.

Twilight Sparkle is a normal pony.

As normal as a pony can get as Princess Celestia's personal protogé, The Element of Magic and being the Savior of Equestria twice over that is.

She lives in Ponyville and is the librarian of Golden Oaks Library, she is the best of friends with five of the greatest mares in Equestria.

She is not some extremely powerful unicorn who has to closely monitor how much magic she has so as not to destroy anything by accident, she is not somepony who has infinite arcane knowledge at her disposal.

And she most certainly does not have Runes covering her entire body from horn to hoof.

Clarifications:
Many have wondered what Twilight looks like and such so to clarify, she does not look like a human female, she retains her fur coat, she is of human height and has hands. The facial structure is more detailed such as where the eyebrows should be there is a darker patch of coat much in the color of her mane.

The story starts a few episodes in, around halfway through season one I would say, some shall stay canon whilst some with alter, I am sorry for this inconvenience.

Twilight is still Twilight in every way, though she has been with little to no contact throughout her life apart from when the Everfree retained people, in such her words would become haggard sometimes so that's why you will probably go "huh" when you first see her talk to the CMC.

That is all for now.

We’ve seen the signs. The look in her direction, the concern for her abilities. Hints of wanting to accompany her.
Luna, from the time of Luna Eclipsed has shown interest in Twilight Sparkle. It has been very low key and well-guarded. But it has been glimpsed.
Twilight has wanted to be with Luna also. The hints were there as well, perhaps as low key as Luna’s, but it’s there none the less.
The wanting to rush to her on Nightmare Night, the look of hope as she was leaving the briefing on the Crystal Empire.
Now what if, just after Twilight’s elevation to princess, Luna found herself in a position which allowed her to let her feelings be known? And in doing so, allowed Twilight to do the same?
This is an alternate history to examine what might have happened if those choices were made.
Would it be a case of immortal lust? Or could it be the beginning of a new dynasty?

Before time began, there was the Cube. We know not where it comes from, only that it holds the power to create worlds and fill them with life. That was how our race was born. For a time, we lived in harmony, but like all great power, some wanted it for good, others for evil. And so began the war - a war that ravaged our planet until it was consumed by death, and the Cube was lost to the far reaches of space. We scattered across the galaxy, hoping to find it and rebuild our home, searching every star, every world. And just when all hope seemed lost, message of a new discovery drew us to an unknown planet called... EQUESTRIA.

But we were already too late...

In terms of MLP continuity, the story takes place before, during, and after the events in the episode, The Lost Treasure of Griffonstone.

In terms of Transformers continuity, even though it is unrelated to any of the universes, it does borrow elements from several timelines (most importantly, the Aligned continuity).

Also, both MLP and Transformers are owned by Hasbro.

It is a time of tension in the galaxy. The ability of the JEDI COUNCIL to see the future is rapidly diminishing, clouded by the DARK SIDE of the Force. As a dark time approaches for the galaxy, places as coreward as Coruscant, as far out as Hutt Space, and every planet in between will soon witness the plan of DARTH SIDEOUS unfold.

The citizens of the planet EQUUS PRIME, their herds governed by the wise and ancient PRINCESS CELESTIA, face an uncertain future as dark and forgotten forces lurk on their own horizon as well. An ancient prophecy foretells the return of the equally ancient NIGHTMARE MOON.

Chapters 1-3 previously published in a colab by The Bricklayer entitled The Equestrian Side of Things.

I expect this to be a fairly slow burn story for when I have time or ideas to dedicate to it. If you have any ideas, I'm open to suggestions! If you don't want your suggestions spoiling other viewers, don't be afraid to PM me! Worst I can do is say no, right?
