The story of how Queen Chrysalis became bad in the first place. Why was she evil? Were the changelings good once? What happened to them? Was there a deeper reason for their bane?

This is my depiction of Chrysalis's backstory.

Though it has been weeks since the Elements of Harmony have purged Nightmare Moon from her, Luna is wracked by guilt and depression. Though the Elements purged the nightmare, they cannot purge the feelings of guilt and self-loathing, nor can they heal the scars wrought by jealously, anger, rage and madness. Though everypony forgave her, Luna cannot forgive herself and seeks penance through suffering.
*****************************************************************************************

My thought process on this follows, I tried to put myself in Luna's figurative shoes when coming up with this story and how would I cope.
The inspiration for this story come from the songs Hurt by Nine Inch Nails, Long Hard Road Out Of Hell by Marilyn Manson and my own personal struggles with mental illness and self harm.

This story contains thoughts and actions of self harm, depression, negative self talk and self loathing. Reader discretion is advised.

Luna has never thought she really deserved her subjects' or her sister's forgiveness. Often, she questioned it, though she kept these thoughts to herself. When the pain of her past and her guilt continually eat away at her, she feels she deserves the pain, but she can only live with it for so long. Luna doesn't believe she should be in Equestria, let alone remain a princess. However, somepony else thinks very differently. If only Luna could see what she sees.

General Iroh. Fire Nation hero. First born son of Fire Lord Azulan. The Dragon of the West. It was thought he would be the greatest warrior in the history of the Fire Nation.

But all that changed when the war claimed his son's life. This changed him, and he turned his back on the war.

This was a necessary event. Iroh had a role to play in bringing balance back to the world...but to play that role, he first had to be broken down, so that he could be rebuilt. This truth was self evident in the spirit realm.

But one particular spirit felt this was unfair to Iroh. The wheels of fate are cruel to those caught in the gears, but this particular spirit felt that Iroh deserved kindness. And so this spirit sent Iroh one who would help him to rebuild himself.

And so, shortly after his son's funeral, Iroh would find a creature sent by the spirits, the likes of which he never would have imagined...a pretty pink pony princess.

Somepony to love...and be loved by.

My father abandoned me, my mother disappeared, my sister a traitor. All I have left is the tattered remains of my honor, and the only thing keeping me going is my will.

Prince Zuko has lost his honor and is no longer sure if the path he had originally chosen to follow is the one he wants anymore. When his uncle, Dragon of the West, Iroh gives him advice the former prince travels through the streets of Ba Sing Se in an attempt to find the one that can guide him down the right path he so greatly desires.

However when Zuko meets this man, he finds the man to be in fact a spirit. A spirit that has helped countless other souls through both the spirit world and earth reach inner peace. And now the spirit has sent Zuko to Equestria to find a means of peace there. With Zuko now stuck in a world he does not understand nor care much about the exiled prince must figure out a way to return home and avoid the ponies of Equestria all while struggling with his emotional turmoil.
