After a millennium of imprisonment, Princess Luna has returned, yet not in her entirety. A significant shard of her essence remains lost, shrouded in darkness. The darkness that gains the power to corrupt, to twist the very fabric of reality.

Princess Luna finds herself in an unfamiliar world, her own mind struggling to adapt to the changes around her. Who can she trust and what unseen powers have waited for her to return?

Let the unfolding tale reveal the answers she seeks!

Hi thanks for checking out my story! This story will focus on different characters along the way, but the main focus will be Luna and her struggles. 🌛

Suppose you found yourself in a strange body and on an unknown planet, with only a lonely dentist for company. What are you willing to do to get home? How hard would you fight? Does it matter if you're a princess or just a person?

Demons were once merely a myth. But now, they are all too real.

Scribe Twilight Sparkle is content with her position within The Order, simply documenting and cataloging various menial pieces of information. It's a life she couldn't imagine being any different.

However, when a veteran Demon Hunter arrives at Monastery Firelight, and she's at the wrong place at the wrong time, she's thrust into a new, terrifying and dangerous world. One that has always existed beneath the veil of her previous life.

Now, instead of shying away from the darkness, she must face it head-on.

In this retelling of the Friendship is Magic series, there will be many things different from the usual. Chief among them are the existence of three additional Elements of Harmony (which will be introduced later) and Spike getting more respect from the start.

This retelling is partially inspired by SuperPinkBrony12's MLP (What If?) series. (Start here if you're interested.)

Applejack and Apple Bloom were your typical earth ponies, humble and simple, only thing special about them being that they are a part of the Apple Family business. One day they get the, as they later learn, not so bright idea to wander off to a run down arcade and to make a long story short basically gamble away their souls to Lord Tirek

They eventually manage to strike a deal with him to spare their souls but in return they'll have to collect the souls of runaway debtors. Unfortunately for the duo he's gonna make it a lot harder from them than anticipated luckily for the sisters they also have something that'll make it somewhat easier (But not by a lot)

Luna, fresh off the moon, finds herself in a cruel world. Her own sister is too busy and too ignorant of her problems, guards and common ponies offend her with insulting names, and there seems to be no respect for her anywhere.

One night, something snaps in Luna, and she packs her things, boarding a train to a city across the country. Maybe with Luna gone from Canterlot, ponies will begin to feel the weight of their actions.

Takes place in an AU, somewhere between S1E2 and S2E4, where Equestria's rail infrastructure reflects the 1950's USA.

I don't remember much about my life as a human, only a throbbing pain in my chest, where my heart would've been. Now I find myself in a world of magical talking ponies and in a cybernetic robotic body with a dangerous hidden program.

I must find a way to control this program and make new friends as requested by my mentor and monarch. But who would want to be friends with a drone with a powerful program and has no memories of her old life?

I know I wouldn't...
