Nearly a week since the Storm King's defeat and still no one has seen trace of Discord. For Twilight and friends, what started as mild irritation at Discord's inaction in their most recent crisis has turned to worry at the inexplicable disappearance of their friend. So when he suddenly shows up in Ponyville acting as though nothing's wrong, he certainly has some explaining to do.

And it's an explanation that no one could have seen coming.

The Storm King has been defeated, meaning Mount Aris and the Seaponies that lived in hiding underneath it are free from his evil rule. The returning Hippogriffs are busy working on the island to restore the place to its former glory, and one young and enthusiastic seapony, Silverstream, really wants to explore it for herself.

Unfortunately, her mother isn't so confident that the island is safe just yet, and worries she might get in trouble if she does.

What's a seapony/hippogriff to do?

Princess Luna, growing evermore aware that Equestria has come under attack in recent days by a seemingly invisible foe, decides to petition Princess Twilight Sparkle to allow her to found an organisation in order to combat the threat.

And so begins the strange tale of the Nightmare Knights, Equestria's newest reformed team of villains, as they bring peace, justice, order and security to the world--one ghastly ghoul at a time.

You might be afraid of ghosts. But they ain't.

The Friendship Festival turned into a celebration of the defeat of the Storm King, and things are getting interesting. Capper and Celaeno are trying to drink each other under the table. Queen Novo and Princess Celestia are reopening trade negotiations, with Skystar and Twilight doing their best to help and one of the Storm King's Mooks can only wonder what do with his life.

It's going to be a long night.

This story is a sequel to Twilight Daylight: Psera, The Legend of Legends

The International House of Trade—made up of Equestria, Prance, North Neighton, South Neighton, Seaquestria, Mount Aris, Hoof Yun and five other nations—has never witnessed a bloody war. A real battle where ponies actually never wake after being hit with something sharp and deadly. They have never seen death at his worst. They have never seen a loved one murdered in cold blood lying at their hooves.

Queen Twilight 'Arcadia Nova' Sparkle has plenty of times ever since starting her life on Psera fifteen years ago. After being awakened from her own self-inflicted imprisonment spell that has kept her frozen in time for ten years, Queen Arcadia was welcomed back to the throne by witnessing the deaths of over one hundred innocent Pserateps, including her own daughter and husband.

An attack led by the Zebras.

With an extremely massive military behind her, gargantuan weaponry, a country willing to fight, and the support of her citizens, Queen Twilight 'Arcadia Nova' Sparkle, Saviour of Psera is ready to return the favor.

However, her past life remains an obstacle, and are refusing to let her pass.

After a drunken night in, Twilight wakes up with a bad hangover, a beautiful horse she definitely ISN'T crushing on looming above her, and the realization she's going to miss Flurry Heart's Cutsenyara. Tempest admits to Twilight something she has been hiding from her; she has a sick jet plane named The Tempest Jet™️

It is said in every city, every town, there is a shop. No one knows how long that shop has been there, nor when it will disappear and inevitably reappear. This shop is filled with all sorts of knick-knacks, antiques, books, clothing; anything and everything you could ever want or need. The shop keeper is quiet yet friendly, glad to help in any way that is needed. Yet beyond the front, the snow globes and jewelry and bits and baubles, there is something more the owner can do for you.

All you need to know are the rules, how to ask, and a die.
