Twilight Sparkle and Trixie Lulamoon are both personal students of Princess Celestia. Ever since being acknowledged by the Princess of Equestria, the two have grown up together as friends. Perhaps a bit of an odd couple, but friends nonetheless. But things change during the upcoming Millenial Summer Sun Celebration when Trixie is sent to Ponyville to oversee the preparations without Twilight.
When the time comes for Celestia to appear and raise the sun, she's gone missing. In her place is a fallen Alicorn known only from pony tales that parents tell their foals to scare them. An Alicorn that sparked an annual tradition. The Alicorn of Nightmares, the Mare in the Moon, Nightmare Moon.
Now Trixie has to find a set of magical artifacts known as the Elements of Harmony. But she's not alone. She is joined by five other Ponies (or rather, four Ponies and one Zebra) on a quest into the Everfree Forest. Along with Vinyl Scratch, Thunderlane, Fluttershy, Maud Pie, and Zecora, will Trixie have what it takes to find the Elements of Harmony and defeat Nightmare Moon? Or will Equestria be doomed to the Nighttime Eternal?
Rated Teen for a graphic nightmare in chapter 4.
This story is the beginning of The Great and Powerful Trixieverse. An AU focused on a pony so egotistical that the AU has to be named after her full name.
Trixie: "Hey!"
Now with a YouTube live reading by Martialartfruituser/Legendbringer Alchemystudent. You can see it here.
I also had a physical book made on Lulu. The book has any spelling/grammar errors (that I could find) corrected. If you're interested in a physical copy, click here.
