This story is a sequel to Alternate Beginnings: Year Seven

In the aftermath of Nightmare Moon's return the mares of Herd Apple, newly instated Elements of Harmony, must come to grips with balancing their new responsibilities with the old. That shouldn't be a problem, since Equestria-shattering events only happen once every thousand years or so, right?

Twilight Sparkle prides herself on knowing absolutely everything that she needs to know. About everything. So, when Princess Celestia sends her to Ponyville to stop Nightmare Moon? She uses that knowledge to reunite her mentor with the newly freed Princess Luna. And, afterwards? Twilight wants nothing more than to stay with her new found friends, her fellow Elements of Harmony. However, something about the entire situation seems a little off.

Takes place after the Alternate Beginnings series. Quick guide!

Darknight Moonwing wears no uniform. White button-down shirts look quite official, and stand out in the darkness, whereas her shadow-colored fur does not. Her authority and her duty are not summed up by a neat white shirt nor a shiny badge, not in her opinion. She’d been hired to guard, a duty she would fulfill to the best of her abilities. Everything else was secondary to that.

Now with a reading by StraightToThePointStudio!

There weren’t always ponies, and then there were. Suddenly, they were everywhere. They were in the news, they were on the radio and the television, and they were even shopping at Meijer.

You have befriended Tempest Shadow, a former arch-nemesis of Equestria; you like to spend time with her in the local park, despite her not being a big talker. Maybe she'd join you for your afternoon nap, if you asked nicely?

Based on a basic scenario by Enigmatic Otaku on a brief Blog Post Contest I held a few weeks back, and published with permission.

After all, what kind of being would willingly allow a terrible situation to occur, if you had the power to prevent it in the first place?
