One would think that the wounded Trixie would appreciate Twilight Sparkle taking her in to nurse her back to health. But for some ponies, leaning on someone else isn't so easy. Their crossing of paths sets them both on a journey that neither of them would've expected...

On a dark night filled with even darker magics, an insane cult attempts to give Nightmare Moon a body and life of her own, utterly separate from Princess Luna. But, when the spell is interrupted by Celestia, something unexpected is created.

Now, a little black alicorn filly named Nyx finds herself living under the care of Twilight Sparkle, only to be haunted by memories and emotions from her past. Is she Nightmare Moon reborn or is she simply a doppelganger with a soul and mind of her own? Can Twilight Sparkle protect Nyx from those who refuse to see past her dragon eyes and black coat?

Or, will Nyx be forced to inherit the sins that may not even be hers and become the greatest evil Equestria has ever known?

Video games are my passion. When I was offered a chance to test out some new "Chess Game" virtual reality simulator during its beta stages, how could I refuse? Go on adventures, explore new worlds and troll NPC's programmed with the most advanced AI available. It sounded like a dream come true.

Too bad I didn't read the fine print.

"Is anypony out there? Please, my name is Trixie! I need help! I think... I saw a cockatrice. I can't move, I can't see. Please, somepony, anypony.... Help me."

Laid low by circumstances beyond control, trapped in a cruel and unrelenting prison of flesh made stone, can anypony hold out hope to see the day once more? When their life rests in the hooves of one whom they tried to humiliate and belittle, can they trust in them and make it right? When they can only see through the eyes of another pony, when only one other can hear them, can they stay sane? When the only chance for their freedom is a fool's hope made incarnate, the impossible made improbable, can they beat the odds? Trixie is going to find out.

Pride can lay one low. Stubbornness can leave somepony friendless. Anger and Sorrow can turn others away. And yet, they can give strength. And Hope, in the darkest hours.

If you're afraid of Dark tones, or find them distasteful, or can get stabbed easily in the feels, I suggest reading on only with caution. This is not a happy tale.

She has no name, no past, and no memories. Day in and day out, she has existed in a small cell. It's all she's ever known. On the surface, she's comfortable with her routine life. But there are questions lingering in her mind. Who is she? Was there ever anything else? Did something happen to her?

When she gets an unexpected visit from a purple unicorn, her world is quickly turned upside down. Is ignorance really bliss?

This is my first MLP: FIM fanfic! I hope y'all enjoy reading it.

For the last month, Twilight and Trixie have been having regular skirmishes. But when Twilight decides that Trixie's presence has become so normal that she might as well be living in the library, what will Trixie do? Perhaps more importantly, what will everypony ELSE do?

All of Equestria felt the Storm. It shook the world to its core, and nothing has been the same since. Great monsters have emerged in the aftermath, and greater heroes. But while everybody knows that things changed after this event, do any of them realize just how much?

As Trixie is about to learn, things could have been worse. Much worse.

It's summer, and nobody has seen or heard about Trixie for a while. But have you ever wondered why?

READ THE DESCRIPTION, PLEASE AND THANK YOU.

Is paradise truly all it's cracked up to be?

Some chapters of this story will have titles, some won't, just due to creativity.jpeg2000. Either way, I hope you, the readers, enjoy this story.

Michael has had a horrible lifetime and is allowed to blow off some steam in Equestria along with other Equestrias from different dimensions. In other words, he gains powers. He also falls in love... How will this work? Some chapters consists of crossovers with other fanfictions... (This story is on hiatus and is going through some major edits.)
