Prologue: The Legend of Nightmare Moon

Once upon a time, in the magical land of Equestria....

There were two regal sisters who ruled together and created harmony for all the land. To do this, the eldest used her unicorn powers to raise the sun at dawn. The younger brought out the moon to begin the night. Thus, the two sisters maintained balance for their kingdom and their subjects, all the different types of ponies, but as time went on, the younger sister became resentful. The ponies relished and played in the day her elder sister brought forth but shunned and slept through her beautiful night.

One faithful day, the younger unicorn refused to lower the moon to make way for the dawn, the elder sister tried to reason with her, but the bitterness in the young one's heart had transformed her into a wicked mare of darkness, Nightmare Moon. She vowed that she would shroud the land in eternal night. Reluctantly, the elder sister harnessed the most powerful magic known to Ponyville, the Elements of Harmony. Using the Elements of Harmony, she defeated her younger sister and banished her permanently in the moon. The elder sister took on responsibility for both....

"...sun AND moon, and harmony had been maintained in Equestria for generations since." A young purple Unicorn had been the reading a book refering to the legend of Nightmare Moon. "Hmm.....Elements of Harmony, I know I've heard of those before....but where?"

Author's Note:

A brief prologue before the actual first chapter begins. The next chapter will begin the story properly and I MOSTLY plan that if the 2 groups are separate then each group will have their own chapter in this story, just a warning, most events in this will be kept RELATIVELY similar to the show, some moments, like this prologue or events that happen to just Twilight's group will be kept pretty much the same. If you do not like this method and want to recommend ways I can make certain scenes better, I would appreciate it, this IS my first fanfiction.
