This story is a sequel to A New Chance

After nearly two weeks of being Princess Luna's student, Princess Luna sent a message to Sunset Shimmer telling her that she wanted to help her forgive herself. Luna knew that this would be the only way for Sunset to truly forgive herself and face her darkness head on, but will this be enough to truly help Sunset or will she tremble to the darkness within her.

Sunset Shimmer gets a surprise visit from Twilight Sparkle, but Twilight gives her a even more surprising news, she has a chance to study under a Princess again.......but its not Princess Celestia.

Enjoy.

What would you do if your world was crumbling? What would you give up to save it? Would you sign a deal with a God of Chaos? Well Twilight is in a situation where she has to sign the dotted line, but then is this a bad thing when your signing your soul away to the god of Madness? Who knows. After all he has had other contracts.... and those worked out.. sort of

*******THE ENDING OF CHAP. TEN HAS BEEN CHANGED***** I suggest you read it... unless you wish to get lost once I throw up 11.

I would like to thank, Lurker Who also got me thinking about this story and putting some life into my mind regarding it. Thank you for your feedback!

BrainstormSurge who has taken the time to edit chapter 1 2, and 3, I never expected someone to walk up and (hopefully) be willing to edit "the contract", so thank you.

Sapphire Secrets is my next thanks, your comment gave me the idea to gut the second half of chapter three and rewrite it. So thank you for taking the time to give me feedback.

Hello reader,

If you’ve managed to find this notebook and can actually read this text, I dare say I’ve either been saved or I’m dead at this point. Ignore the blood and ink blotches on the pages, I can’t say I’m writing this in my best condition right now. But I’m getting ahead of myself…

First, let me introduce myself… My name is Twilight Sparkle, protege to Equestria’s Princess Celestia, the Eternal Sun. The year is 1004 ANM... Sometime in the summer or spring back in Equestria if my companion is correct.

Well… I guess I’ll tell you a little bit of how I got here. It started with a spell from Star Swirl the Bearded, one of Equestria’s greatest magicians. I cast his spell to seemingly no effect, but when I woke the next day, I had found every one of my friend’s cuties marks to have swapped. It took so much work, but I… we managed to fix it all, leading us back to the spell once again, and fixing it. Then…

Forgive me, I’m starting to smudge the ink- this has just been so much for me. It hurts to recall all these memories.

We cast the spell once again, a fixed version, one that should have finished it's actually purpose. I was surrounded in a blinding light, glyphs appearing around me as it carried me up. I could recognize a handful of them, projection runes, location markings, just to name a few. Then… everything went white

This story features quite a number of dark or gruesome scences. While not enough to be marked as a straight dark fiction, it does have horrific moments.

Drifting Away is an alternate universe story taking place after the events of season 3, up to the point of Twilight's alicorn transformation. All events are canon up to that point.

I would like to thank my wonderful collaborator LonelyLullaby for their support and help in writing and improving this work. I couldn't have done half of this without them.

Sunset knew something was wrong when she woke up in Twilight’s castle since she had no recollection how she even got there. She soon discovered that Twilight was missing and nobody seemed to remember who Twilight was. But that was the least of her worries when she found out she has become an alicorn princess and may have taken over Twilight's life. With no clue as to where Twilight was or why they had switched roles, Sunset was determined to find Twilight. With the help of Spike and Twilight’s friends, Sunset set out to find her presumed missing friend.
