Chapter 1
The Story of Nyx: A Snowflake in The Wind
“Hoo-hoo”, hooted an owl as a clock struck 11 o’clock. The library of Ponyville and official library-manor of Princess Twilight stood silent, only the occasional turning of parchment and cricket hums to break the silence. The only light in the room was a soft horn light silently dancing. There in the center sat a small black alicorn filly reading her book. She had violet hair and opal eyes that sat behind a pair of round purple glasses. A turquoise headband held back her hair and a small vest hid the wings underneath. She was reading “Nyx of the Night” a story that was very dear to Nyx, for her mother had named her after its main character. Silently she read until a small creak caused her head to snap to the door.“Hello?” Nyx called hoping to hear a response. A sigh could be heard from behind the door. The door opened fully revealing a lavender Alicorn levitating a large object with a tarp on it. It was Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Equestria. Twilight looked down to her daughter.“Nyx I thought you’d be in bed already!” said Twilight her motherly instinct kicking in, “It’s really late and you have school tomorrow!” She levitated the large object to the side hoping Nyx would ignore it. Unfortunately for her fate had another plan. Nyx took heed of the object immediately.“What’s that?” she asked her pointing out the object. Twilight sighed.“Nyx can we save this for tomorrow? I’ve just carried that thing all the way from Saddle Arabia and I want to go sleep.” Nyx however wasn’t persuaded. She jumped up from her seat to go look at the tarped object. A lavender wing appeared however blocking her path. “No is no, Nyx!” Twilight said.“Oh please Mommy?” she pleaded giving her mother a pouty look. Twilight shook her head.“Oh no-no-no, don’t give me the pouty filly face”. Nyx pouted more until her mother groaned.“Oh-Oh fine! But don’t touch it!” She warned moving her wing and walking towards the object. Nyx jumped and cheered for joy.“YES!” “Shhhh!” said Twilight, “Ponies are trying to sleep”. Nyx hopped behind her mother and moved towards the large object. With one mighty pull of her magic the dusty sheet flew off what it covered.“Ahek!-ahek!” coughed Twilight and Nyx. Once the dust settled Nyx could clearly see what stood before her. In front of her stood a large dark mirror with a skull engraved in the top. Nyx took a nervous step back.“He-he” giggled Twilight, “There’s nothing to be afraid of Nyx, it’s safe.” Nyx stood straight and looked at the large mirror. Soon curiosity took hold of her. She reached her hoof towards the large mirror in an attempt to touch it. Twilight took action and lightly batted Nyx’s hoof away.“Ow! What was that for?” Nyx asked rubbing her hoof.“I said ‘No touching’” she replied.“Yeah-yeah” grumbled Nyx still rubbing her hoof, “So what is it?”“This Nyx is an Avernus”, said Twilight with an in-a-matter-of-fact tone. Nyx stared at her mother.“And Aveng-what?” She asked.“An Avernus. It’s a special artifact from Pre-Celestial times! It is said to allow the user the ability to enter the Elysian Fields!”
she replied. Nyx blinked her eyes several times.“The what?!” she asked. Twilight slouched a bit at Nyx’s response.“The Elysian Fields, Nyx. That’s the Faustic afterlife.” She said. Nyx’s eyes widened before she ran to a shelf in the library. “What are you looking for Nyx?” Twilight asked. Nyx managed to pull a small book out of the shelf.“I’ve heard that word, Faust”, replied Nyx plopping the book on the floor and turning the pages. She landed on a picture of a large white alicorn with long red hair with a quill and inkwell as a cutie mark. “Faust is said to be the creator of Equestria and god of Harmony and Creation!” Twilight smiled.“Good job Nyx! I’m glad to see you’ve taken in some of the more advanced books.” Twilight praised, “Now as I was saying it is said all who go through life with kindness and harmony shall be gifted a place in the fields. This is an extremely powerful magical artifact that when used correctly can allow us to speak to them! Hundreds of long dead historical beings! We could talk to Star Swirl the Bearded, or Clover the Clever! We might be able to call on Celestia’s Parents!” While Twilight began to ramble on all the educational possibilities, Nyx turned to the tall mirror once more. She placed a hoof on the mirror, the ice cold surface of the glass sending shivers down her spine. Without turning to her mother she asked“How does it work?” .Nyx stared at the large engraved skull on the top of the mirror, curiosity calling out to her. Twilight stopped rambling and sighed without turning around.“I don’t know really. The merchant I got this from said it would require a large amount of magic sent into that engraving for it to work. The issue is I don’t know if that’s a large amount for a unicorn or an alicorn. I’ll be running tests tomorrow.”-Twilight yawned-“Come on Nyx, let’s hit the hay,” Twilight turned around and headed towards the stairs, Nyx's eyes hadn’t left the mirror.“I’m coming mom. Let me just… put these books away.”, Nyx replied. Twilight sleepily nodded ok and headed upstairs to her bed. Nyx stared at her reflection in the mirror a moment. Then an idea came to Nyx. A horrible, irresponsible, absolutely Cutie Mark Crusader material idea. She wanted to go through. She turned her head to see her mother already upstairs in bed. She charged up her horn and sent a small burst of blue magic into the engraving. The indentation slowly filled with blue energy. When the engraving was fully filled a light shined out of the mirror. Nyx slowly moved her hoof across the surface of the mirror and saw how it rippled with her touch. Nyx smiled.“Well mom, the portal needs a large amount of magic for a Unicorn ”, Nyx whispered in an attempt to not wake up her mother. She took a quick glance to see that Twilight was not coming back downstairs. She touched the mirror again seeing it ripple before sticking her whole hoof through. The rest of her body followed and she was gone with a flash that filled the whole tree and even shone a bit outside. Twilight had not awoken.

beware of hate from this....
weird shipping
I'm kinda stuck in the middle on this one.
Get it?
I'm so sorry...
derpicdn.net/img/2013/5/17/327100/full.PNG
interesting, ill stay in touch with this story.
weird shipping never seeing it before and ill stay in touch with this story too and i like it
3599546 PURGATORY? IN THE MIDDLE? GETTIT?
odd......I like it. ill stay in touch with this
If only this were a clopfic, it'd be my dream fic
As is, it's still pretty good; the x-over that should've happened a long, LONG time ago.
Wow. This is pretty good. I can't wait to find out what happens next.
On a different note, I'm curious as to how Nix came to be. Who is Twilight's partner? Please tell me she got pregant because of magic...
Conversation grammar is a bit off. Suggest checking out Ezn's guide.
3600106
Past Sins.
3600476
I'm just gonna say that's a bit rude. I mean, if you're pointing it out to a story that has work put into it I understand but a comment someone take about... not even a minute on? I mean, really? It's a comment. So what if I have a few spelling or grammar mistakes. It's a comment.
Woah. Got a little carried away. Sorry. But yeah, that was kinda rude. Also, just to let you know, I'm writing on an iPod, which is hard enough to write with as it is.

When people use the "reply to this comment" button (the thing which puts the >> bit in), the relevant text in their response is the bit below the >> (and before any subsequent one).
The part above it is about the story, not your post. The author messes up the conversation grammar a bit, and Ezn's guide has great examples of what and what not to do in that regard. I suggested it so he can take a quick look.
So no worries, not bashing you
The only bit that applies to you is the link to Past Sins, which is where Nyx comes from.
With what this crossover is?
3600106
Err, have you never read Past Sins?
Nyx is an incarnation of sorts of Nightmare Moon. Twilight found her in the woods after she was created and adopted her as her own.
3600692
Oh.
Now I just feel awful and stupid. I'm sorry. I do know how the replie to comment thing works I just thought you made a small error. I completely missed the Past Sins link. Thank you for that by the way. Can't wait to read it.
3600962
Spoilers!!!
3601007
some of the time. 
Glad to help.
We're all a little
3601007
Sorry, dude! That all takes place in the first chapter, if that lessens the blow.
Let me preface this by saying I have not read any of this yet.
1.remember that Pen Stroke said No clop!
2. Nyx has a lot of haters, Snowdrop has a lot of haters. Expect a lot of trolls. Ignore them.
3. Done well this could be very very very good. Hell this could break the record for warm fuzzy feels.
good luck. I will be watching
3601007
man are you in for a treat, you are about to read Past Sins for the first time.. i envy you. . The story has its haters, but I have a feeling you will love it... be forewarned it has a reputation for being an emotional roller coaster.. and said reputation is well earned.
3599587 Don't you fucking dare cancel this story.
I've seen to many good story's end because the crater didn't wont to complete it. Evan if you didn't read Past Sins I feel that this story is going to be grate.
When you have chapter three out I will give it a rating. And yes I do that it's fun for me to give ratings and help others out. Well I'm on a laptop so cant type much so happy trails.
Shined,
Slowbro95
3601023 3601038
Just read the prelude or however you spell it and I am quite interested. So far so good.
3600765
it's a crossover between past sins and Snowdrop
3601399
Just googled that video and... err... wasn't Snowdrop filly? And Nyx too?..
Upvoted for sheer effrontery.
Can't wait for the next chapter.
3602362
And some readers with preconceptions are about to get a rude awakening. (As the very first comment states: "beware of hate.") I'm a firm believer in shaking things up now and then.
3601815
Snowdrop is filly, Nyx too, "romance" tag... what the buck?!.. F/F?!
3601388lol.
Good.
3602451
alright
Sounds like an interesting concept that I would like to read, but because this is your first story and the first chapter is short, I will have to wait to read it. Once I am adequately convinced you will continue and eventually finish this, I will begin to read it.
I absolutely hate when a story I start reading is abandoned, it's like getting kicked in the stomach.
Oh, and I don't think the crossover tag is needed. I personally think it should only be used for franchise crossovers, not crossovers within the same franchise. Like MLP/some anime, not G4/G1
3602755
When it's about children - yes, problem.
3602767
Not a problem unless things get sexual. I've seen 10-12 year-olds "date" each other and all it consisted of was holding hands, kisses on the cheek, and snuggling up to sleep.
More cute than offensive.
I like the concept. As for if it is a good story...
Convince me
(Kudos if you get the reference above)
3602767
Jesus. It isn't clop. Fillies are like teenagers and preteens. They fall in love and it's adorable, but they aren't going to do adult things. It's like a crush.
Weren't you a child before?
3602755 if it was a f/f, then the legendary mature and sex tag would of been there......
this looks odd.... and, Ungite.
Fav because THIS IS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME ODDITY!?
3603478 well it's not going in THAT direction, it just may get suggestive wth a time skip
I'm on that weird part of Fimfiction again . . .
3601399
Mind putting a thingy on the info that tells what ficts the two characters are from.
Past sins
and Snowdrop (the mlp fan film)
Do want
