The stars will aid in her escape. These words were from the prophecy of the return of Nightmare Moon. But did anyone ever stop to think about what that meant? No, they did not. Nightmare returned, the Elements purified her, and Princess Luna was reunited with her sister. The prophecy was forgotten, as were the 'stars' that freed her. But the 'stars' weren't done yet. They still have a mission to complete, a Princess to serve. The stars are falling, but is Equestria ready for their return?

Timeline wise his story starts before the Gala.

This is the first thing that I've ever really written so please be gentle and any advice would be well appreciated. Thank you.

Twilight discovers the true purpose for the Canterlot Royal gardens, much to Princess Celestia's annoyance.

Warning: Comments are encouraged, but spoilers are present in the comments.

Fic is currently undergoing a very slow revision. Revised chapters will have a (R) in the title.
I've also added chapter numbers for a bit more ease of navigation. Mostly on my part.
This is a project that I will slowly be working on Bringing my first major story up to snuff. I shall also be fixing plot holes and clearing up some issues that certain parts have that may contradict the lore later on.
This will only be worked on sporadically unfortunately as I need to be in certain mind sets to do this.

Original story was posted in 2011.
