The Elements of Harmony failed. Twilight Sparkle was unable to activate their power, and the sixth never even appeared. It is her greatest failure, and the doom of all Equestria. Plunged into an endless night, she has to find a way to stop Nightmare Moon.

Her research is getting her nowhere, though, until she has a visit from a stranger in a dream, who grants her the power to face down the Nightmare. But is it enough, with the Elements lost?

Borrows themes and ideas from Persona and other places, but isn't a direct crossover with any of them.

Twilight is living an a mental hospital after supposedly she sees Discord, but no pony else can see him. She lives her days out in the hospital reading books and being tormented daily by Discord. Day after day she is bothered by him, and no matter how much she screams and yells at him, he never stops.

The only place of true solace is in her dreams, where her meds have stop him from entering. But when one night he appears and says he is actually alive but weak, Twilight is unsure to believe if its the insanity speaking or is actually him trying to reach her.

Really, all Princess Celestia wanted was Harmony. It was her nature, her purpose. Those who threatened it tasted to brunt of her wrath, and many have tried. But when he came, Celestia's perception was flipped on its head. After a fierce battle, she lay broken and defeated before him, but was spared, left to lick her wounds, and mull over the choices given to her.

Five centuries later, Celestia uses her second chance to, once again, fortify her kingdom in Harmony alongside her fellow princesses. And as her mind drifts back to darker times—as she remembers a demon's cold words and thrashing hostility laced with compassion and wisdom—Celestia prepares for the most fool-headed thing she could ever do... Bring him back.

Now the alicorns of Equestria suffer the backlash of Celestia's choice. Join them as they hold fast to their ideals, keep secrets hidden, sins buried, and deny the primordial fiend that'll stop at nothing to test them.
