Equestria is the darkest nation in existence...it is also the only one. Stories are told in hushed whispers to young fillies of a time when Pony Princesses ruled Equestria, unlike the current "benevolent" rule of the Elder Things.

While most ponies fall into line and work towards the goals of the extra-terrestrial gods, some dare to fight back. Some believe in an Equestria ruled by ponies. Some, like Twilight Sparkle, dare not to fear the rulers, but cross them.

Set in Twilight's POV.

A fusion type crossover of MLP and (the generic workings of) The Cthulhu Mythos. The plot itself takes heavy inspiration from A Study in Emerald, a crossover between Sherlock Holmes and the Cthulhu Mythos.
