Part 1 of the Shadow Trilogy

As Twilight Sparkle enters her third year amongst her friends in Ponyville, she finds herself plagued with strange dreams of an unknown power whispering dark secrets to her. The voices speak of Power, of the strength to protect what she holds most dear, of the great knowledge she could attain, such that no force could ever threaten her lands, or her friends, ever again.

Though she shrinks from this voice, the lure of greater knowledge, of magical power far beyond what she currently knows is enticing and alluring to her, eating away at her resolve even as the lack of rest begins to wear her physical defenses down.

What is this voice, and what does it plan for the most faithful student in Equestria?

Note: Events diverge from canon following the events of "Games Ponies Play"

Spike is her number-one assistant and that will never change. Even in her becoming a greater princess he has not failed in that role.

Isn't it odd how a dragon can compensate for a castle?

Twilight discovers his secret... and must save him from it.

All are condemned either to a passion or an obsession.

What can make a girl's legs look adorable better than a pair of striped socks? Twilight spent long nights deducing formulas and studying the history of women's hosiery, trying in vain to find a competent rival for such a wonderful piece of clothing. But as she proceeded with her studies, she came to a terminal conclusion that striped socks were cuter than any of their counterparts by far.

In theory.

But scientific method, besides theory, consisted of practice. Now the issue was finding an appropriate lab rat. A great and powerful lab rat, preferably.

Besides, Twilight was sure the said great and powerful lab rat would look cute in striped socks.

The story has sensual scenes. Tagged Sex just to be safe. Be warned!
