Story 4 of the Savage Skies series.

It is well-known that the brighter the light, the deeper the shadow. Princess Celestia is unquestionably Equestria's brightest guiding light. Unfortunately, two ponies must deal with the very deep, very dark shadows that she casts.

Dawn Lightwing has overcome many trials since moving to Ponyville. However, his past and the ponies that haunted it are not as far behind him as he would like to think. Whether he likes it or not, his enemies, who draw their hatred from their irrational reverence for Princess Celestia, have found him again and he must struggle with the fact that his mere presence could a threat to his friends and his new family.

Twilight Sparkle must deal with a different shadow as she travels to Canterlot in order to learn more about the mysterious Eyes of Nightmare, as she must contend with the Noble Court, who live in the shadow of the Royal Palace itself, its members planning to use Twilight and her friends to advance their own ambitions, stopping at nothing to have her under their influence.

Thankfully, neither of them will have to deal with these obstacles alone.

However, something even more dangerous is stirring. Dark matters are afoot.

Johnny is a typical Southern boy from a small town in Tennessee who just happens to enjoy My Little Pony, but hates a certain orange workhorse for her stereotypical behavior. Soon, he finds himself hiding out in an abandoned barn waiting out a storm only to wake up in Sweet Apple Acres and in front of Applejack. Johnny doesn't see eye to eye with her, but when Applebloom and her friends are stolen away from the farm during the middle of the night, he finds out there is more to this pony than meets the eye. Can the two form a fast friendship in their effort to locate the CMC, or will they have to dig a few graves for three little fillies?

Apple Bloom has always been taught to do what’s right; by her sister, her brother, and her granny. She works hard to complete her chores, does her school work, and goes crusading with her friends. Even when dealing with the taunting from the local bullies, she tries to keep her distance and avoid conflict; after all, it’s the right thing to do. But when she overhears a private moment by somepony she should by all rights despise, she learns that doing the right thing can be harder than it seems.

In the wake of the Canterlot Wedding, Fluttershy has to ask Twilight a very difficult question.
