UPDATE - Currently being rewritten and reorganized

King Sombra the feared, hated, and reviled regent of the Crystal Empire has finally returned from his banishment at the hooves of Equestria’s ruling diarchs. He awakens to see that his empire has returned with him before he swiftly reconquers it to little resistance.

Without wasting much time he draws up plans to defend the empire, now safely back under his control, from its Equestrian neighbors to the south. And knowing Celestia and Luna he’s surprised that they have not already reacted to his empire’s re-emergence; however, he just brushes it off thinking himself lucky for their sloppiness. As he waits for the princesses' response it eventually becomes apparent that there won’t be one.

Confused, he begins using various methods to try and get in contact with Equestria. After many failed attempts and a worrying report from a border guards’ patrol he starts trying to get in touch with the other countries of the world only to receive nothing in return. Following an even more worrying report from a scouting mission to Equestria and the appearance of a mysterious plague that only seems to afflict the crystal ponies, Sombra is at wit's end.

Determined to find out what is going on outside his empire’s walls he puts his plans of war against and the conquering of Equestria aside and sets out on a mission. A mission that will soon lead him to find out that the world he and his empire have returned to is nothing like the one they left. And the answers Sombra seeks could threaten to destroy not only him, but the world itself. 

Something has happened while they were gone, something sinister…

In Progress: Arc 1 ~ The Wasteland

Story will be split up into different arcs with some interlude chapters spread within and between each arc. Some sections of the story will also be prewritten while others are written then shortly posted thereafter (after editing of course😊)!

Different story tags will be added to the story as it goes along so as to not spoil certain story elements for those reading this story as it comes out. Also, additional tags will be written here if they are important, and/or I have reached the tags limit. An archived tags section may also at some point be added.

Additional Tags: OC, Crystal Ponies

Deep below the changeling hive, beneath the long abandon ruins of the great city. There lies a great crack in the ground.

Since long before recorded history, the Changelings have been trying their best to keep it and whatever dwells in there, sealed.

With their duty failed a Changeling leaves a note behind.

Celestia had always been hardworking, she had always loved her job. She loved being a princess and everything about it- the power, the responsibility even. And most importantly, she loved that everyone adored her.

Celestia loved her sister. But when a pony loves two things, she’s bound to protect one over the other. And so, she did. Her sister wasn’t “banished to the moon”, contrary to common belief; she was dead.

Celestia believed she was a horrible sister, a awful person.

And of course, Luna comes back to tell her that.

Earth-pony Twilight Sparkle has always been a little "out there". But while testing her latest crazy idea, she finds that there are places even farther than that...

This story is a sequel to Sun & Moon Act I: Ascending Star

This is Sun & Moon, a full history of the lives of the two alicorns around whom Equestria's story is indelibly wrapped. And this is its second chapter: the story of the rift that almost tore the country apart, just as it was getting started.

Three hundred years ago, Princesses Celestia and Luna together defeated Discord and created the Elements of Harmony. They overcame the separate factions of Discord's nobility and the Orders of the Resistance to forge a new nation, peaceful and prosperous. Since then, they have worked tirelessly to build it up, rebuilding a democratic government in Canterlot and promoting the growth of cities and towns all across the land.

However, new threats are rising. After knowledge of Pegasus magic was lost during Discord's reign, a multi-year drought seemingly without end is now threatening to plunge Equestria into a famine, and to tear apart the peace that has held for three centuries. The two Princesses will have to use all of the resources at their disposal to stave off conflict, yet how far can they go while still keeping true to the ideals that got them onto the throne in the first place?

Separately, high above Equestria in Cloudsale, the young stallion Wind Swept struggles to come to terms with a destiny that is still mysterious to him. Thrown to the surface in a freak dust storm, Wind will have to understand a life that his fellow pegasi forsook centuries ago, and come to grips with the part that he will play in the upcoming struggle for Equestria's future.

And hanging over all of this, a shadow from a past before Equestria watches and waits, ready for a chance to plunge the world once more into a darkness without end.

This is Sun & Moon, the story of the two alicorns around whom Equestria's history is indelibly wrapped. And this is its first chapter, a story of the search for hope in darkness, and the lengths a pony would go in order to find it.

Equestria's history is a multicoloured and complex tapestry, speckled with the works of the great ponies of its past. But there is one dominant colour, visible everywhere, and that is the contribution of the two ponies who saw it all: Celestia and Luna.

A comprehensive understanding of Equestria is impossible without first knowing their whole story: from its start, in the middle of Discord's Chaos, to its finish.

Celestia and Luna were born into a lawless world, just two alicorns trying desperately to survive. Little did they know the great destiny that fate had chosen for them. On the road to that destiny, they will discover everything that lay underneath the Equestria of old, and set the stage for all that came after.
