Humans.

Truth or myth? Ancient lost civilization or just an old pony's tale?

No pony has ever seen one, and most haven't even heard of them. But Lyra knows that these wonderful creatures are more than just old legends, and she's going to find out... and possibly drive her roommate insane in the process.

For almost a thousand years, the immortal Nightmare Moon has reigned over Equestria as Empress. To the average pony, Nightmare Moon is an overarching enigma whose rule is absolute and whose wrath is terrible. But to Twilight Sparkle, who as an orphan has never known her parents, the Empress is something else entirely. When the young unicorn is brought under the royal wing as an apprentice, she learns a great deal more about the supposed tyrant than she ever knew. But as Twilight is introduced to life with her new mentor, she is thrust into a world of political intrigue, conspiracies and secrets. Secrets that were never meant to be revealed. As allies and enemies plot against the very peace of the nation, will Twilight fall prey to the perils of her new position? Or will she prosper and find in Nightmare Moon the mother she never had?

Authors note:

I'm not a native speaker and I'm going to play around with time forms and narrative styles. At least I try to write each chapter in a different way. I'm not good at English and when it simply hurts to read what I write go tell me, I do this to improve my English and get some ideas out of my head ^^

Don't take the story too serious it has a "comedy" and "random" tag for reasons ^.~

I'm an anwefully slow writer. A turquoise with arthritis is faster than me. Good part about it, you can get your eyes healed between each chapter :x

The order of ponies in the introduction may or may not be the order in which I post the chapters.

Last but not least, I also like to draw sometimes. So I may or may not add pictures to the chapters involving some scenes of it. I will have an update section here and will announce changes I made in the comments as well.

Updates:
12/9/2011 added a picture of "Bass Soul" into chapter one. Fluttershy aka Bass Soul

In the dark future of Equestria, a ponykind that has turned its back on the ideals of friendship and love faces the threat of extinction. Their land is corrupted by twisted dark magic, and scarred by countless wars.

But when a mysterious race of aliens armed with amazing technology arrives in Equestria, ponykind is given another chance at survival. Will they take it?

[a reimagining and reversal of Blaze's "The Conversion Bureau".]

Luna is a hardcore gamer, and it piques Celestia's curiosity. She's skeptical at first, but Celestia is willing to learn about Luna's favorite pastime.

Celestia agrees to allow Twilight to spend the night at the palace per Luna's request. But as it turns out, the two ponies have other things in mind other than a sleep-over...

It's been more than a year since Princess Luna's return to Equestria, and she is making great strides in her language skills. And along with this come a slew of new writing skills.

However, Celestia may have a few objections once she finds out just WHAT Luna has been writing...
