Twilight, my Faithful Student, my friend, if there is anypony that can create a world of Harmony, true Harmony, it is you.

More than a thousand years ago, my sister and I sought to create a perfect world, a world ruled by Harmony. A world free of evil. We were powerful and believed ourselves above the laws that governed this world. But this world is governed by the laws of Magic, and Magic, it seems, demands balance.

Where there is Light, there is Darkness.
Where there is Order, there is Chaos.
For there to be Love, there must be Hate.
For every Dream, there is a Nightmare.
Each begets the other.

And like boiling water over a fire, each can extinguish the other.

I should not have been surprised when the day came that the evil I had to fight was my own sister. It was the world restoring the balance we so foalishly ignored.

Perhaps, it is for this balance that I now stay my hoof. I have chosen to have you,Twilight Sparkle, act in my stead as the evils I thought vanquished, inevitably return to Equestria. It is in hopes that you may learn this balance, that you may learn from my mistakes. It is not something I alone can teach you, when I myself still understand so little. It is why I must now rely on the help of an old nemesis.

He intends to take you away, my protégé, and make you his own. You must not succumb to his influence. Yet if you are to learn the balance that is at the essences of all things, it will be through him. For the future of Equestria and for the sake of Friendship, you must prevail.

I hope that some day you can forgive me.

After Princess Twilight is given the news that she must move much farther from their friend than she already had, Spike finds himself infuriated. The resulting argument is enough to force him to run away, but neither could have imagined how devastating it would be to their friendship. Now, six years later, Spike can't stop thinking about what he did that night and how dearly he wishes to take it back. So, after many sleepless nights, he decides to return to the friend he's long since abandoned, though when he arrives in Canterlot, Spike may have found more than just friendship.

Princess Twilight Sparkle and Stare Master Fluttershy go on a date to the park. Under the stars and moon, they have a picnic and Fluttershy teaches Twilight the basics of flying.

Part Two of my Weekly Romance Fic Challenge

Twilight had been warned dark magic was dangerous. She thought she could handle it. Unfortunately dabbling in dark magic has left Twilight with a deadly disease that there does not seem to be a cure for. Will she succumb to the darkness, or will friendship and love be enough to make the remainder of her time happy?

This story is a sequel to Blood Moon

It's been two and a half years since the battle between Celestia and Luna took place. So bloody and fierce, but never written into Equestria's history. Twilight however, saw something amazing in that clash of these celestial titans:

A whole new sky had been created from the destruction.

Twilight, so entranced by it, recreated it, only making a few changes to it. She shared it with the citizens, who fell in love with Twilight's newest and greatest form of magic and art. Celestia however, disapproves of this creation, and in doing so, has begun the birth of one of Equestria's greatest enemies that it will ever know.

Luna, sister to Princess Celestia, and Princess of the Moon, has been hiding a secret that she has kept from everypony, even long before she had been transformed into Nightmare Moon...

She has been killing ponies while they slept, taking their souls to who knows where...

What thoughts in her mind have clouded her sanity, and driven her to do what all ponies consider to be the most heinous and unforgivable crime in all of Equestria? What happens when she takes a loved one far too soon before their time, and her horrible secret is brought to light?

Dusty Armor, though he prefers Dusk Armor. Only thirteen years old but full of adventure and even showing a talent for magic...today is his fourteenth birthday and Princess Twilight is pulling out all the stops to make it the best yet, but when a gift sparks questions she doesn't want to answer, he seeks out the answers on his own. Learning more and more about his father takes him down a path that Twilight can only pray he rejects....

( Little something I made for Dusty Armor because I like the idea of Dark Magic and punk ...)

Sequel based off of Kiss of the Dark by Soothing Stone

We trained her.
We taught her.
We raised her to godhood.
She brought us down to earth.
