Imagine what would have happened if, 1000 years ago, Equestria's rulers were of a different mindset. If Princess Luna had felt appreciated, and understood how needed she was, and if that favor had tainted Celestia with jealousy and suspicion, what would our modern Equestria be like? If hurt feelings and anger had driven Celestia to take on the persona of DayStar and usher in eternal day and endless summer, would friendship still be as magical? Would any be free from DayStar's iron hoof?

Update, May 11: Published the re-written chapter 2! Left certain parts out, put a few new parts in; it's more or less the same, but I'd like to think that I've ironed out the wrinkles enough to start up the final chapter!

When one of Fluttershy's dear animal companions wanders into the Everfree, she sets out to bring him home safely - but what she finds at the center of the forest is something she didn't expect, and something that ushers in a change to her world that makes each day darker than the last.
