Chrysalis is dying, and with her, the last of the Changeling race... but there might be a way to avoid extinction.

Canterlot vanishes in a mysterious explosion, an explosion which engulfs all of Equestria. Twilight manages to save herself, but the world she finds herself in is not the one she remembers. Her friends have no memory of her, the world is trapped in darkness, and Celestia is missing. Can Twilight figure out what's happened to her and the rest of Equestria before the darkness overwhelms her?

This story is a sequel to Dusk and Dawn

The Dawn Militia and Nightmare Moon's armies continue to wage war across Equestria under the eternal night. The six bearers of the Elements of Harmony–Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and Trixie–have been blessed with extraordinary powers, with which they lead the Dawn against the tyrant and her reluctant lieutenant, Eclipse.

But it's hardly easy. After all, what place does harmony have on the battlefield?

Princess Celestia tires of constantly being surrounded by decorum, deference, and formality, and decides to take a day off from being Princess. But visiting Ponyville incognito is harder than she expects. Will she be able to fit in and make friends without blowing her cover?

Twilight Sparkle, Celestia and Luna are transported into a strange alternate Equestria, the Land of Always Summer, where the day lasts forever and a terrible queen rules with an iron hoof.
