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.

Comments contain spoilers.

Luna's homecoming tour has taken her to every major city in Equestria. Every city but one. Lunangrad, the frozen sentinel of Equestria's forbidding north, and Luna's ancient sacred center.

Twilight, along for the ride, finds herself drawn inwards towards some horrible secret as the world she knows trembles before some great revelation. The Pilgrimage has begun.

Life before she got her cutie mark was simple. Ponies would wave and smile at her, while her family was like any other. Yet on that fateful day, her mask fell, and they all discovered what she really was..

As time goes on, puzzles pieces fit together, secrets are told and some are made. Yet the truth lies in the shadows... as the day blinds the darkness...

08/08/22- Uh, not sure what this was, but I all I know is I'm not continuing this-

Sparkle was a pony. Well, part pony she guessed.
She didn't know what she really was, all she knows is that ponies didn't like her. Not one bit.

However, Princess Celestia has sent her, and her Dragon Spike, to organise and review the preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration.

But that night. That fateful night..may turn into a dreading nightmare.....

08/08/22- Wtf was I writing man...

Twilight wakes up after a failed experiment and quickly discovers just what that failure did to her.

Will she be able to function in her new form long enough to find the counter spell, or will she go crazy before she gets the opportunity?

Can she handle being a carnivore in a town of herbivores?

What happens when a pack of Timberwolves comes, driving her to an ultimate decision?

twilight had recently gained her castle and met starlight but when she encounters chrysalis once again a dual accidental discharge of both their magic has resulted in both fusing together. now both have to learn how to get along if they have any hope of separating. but their new state has some complications. as both learn what really being a mother is about as a result of their combined biology.

now if only they knew how to separate things would have been just fine.

A/N:
First of all, you might want to know about this story.
Already know? Well, let us say that this is a Sequel for it. The current author for that story seems to be dead and I know that continuing the story without their permission is bad so... A SEQUEL but mostly a time-skip on their childhood. Basically, we're back to around the time before Nightmare Moon eventual escape and yada-yada-yada, you all know it already so... Here you go.
Edit 15/06/2019: Featured at the bottom of the Featured box on the first hour after posting! WOW, I did not expect that...
Edit 12/08/2019: Featured once more, thanks!

What happened if you are destined to be a mirror of someone’s power, a mere copy of themselves? Both in power and intelligence, the only difference is that you lack that someone’s appearance and identity? You could literally say that they are different as the day and night.

Well, Twivine can relate to that.

She was just someone normal, wanting to fill the void with something when her favorite show ended years ago.
 
Until an app was suddenly downloaded unknowingly on her phone, that is.

Suddenly opening the mysterious app out of curiosity, multiple texts appeared in the blackness of her screen, explaining that this was a game, an AU based on the start of the show of MLP, and how the main story had gotten out of wack and needed her help to fix it.
 
She, despite all the red flags, somehow chose to continue by pressing the button that suddenly popped up with the words [I'll help!].
 
 
Big Mistake.

Oh and I created the cover, if you wanna know.

Hello, my name is Sam. I was in an accident and wake up in the hospital thinking i was very lucky to survive. But life has other plan, now i am a pony, atleast i am a magical unicorn and the twin sister of Twilight Sparkle. Hmmm, why does that sound familiar to me? Nevermind, let's my new life begin.

For a thousand years, the Code of Harmony has ruled Equestria, and the Code of Dissonance has sabotaged its works at every turn. Now the war for control over the land will come to a head, and one unicorn's decision may decide the fate of all.

For though she does not know it, Twilight Sparkle is the shining example of the Code of Harmony. Her teacher, Princess Celestia is Harmony's most powerful master and she knows her enemies are hatching a plan that threatens to cast down the Harmony of her throne and all she has sacrificed to create.

What she does not know is her foe seeks a new Apprentice to turn to his dark ways. A unicorn with seemingly limitless potential for magic, whose thirst for knowledge may yet lead her down a dark path, who is known to be such a faithful student of magic, eagerly seeking the truth no matter how forbidden it might be...

Sequel: Code of Harmony
