Hiatus-massage:
I'm putting this on hiatus for now. I just can't find motivation for this right now, which sucks pretty hard.If someone really likes the course this story is taking, I might consider to continue writing. But for now I got a hole bunch of ideas for stories that I find more interesting.
Sorry if I upset someone.
What would've happened if the Elements of Harmony hadn't managed to banish Nightmare Moon and the latter could rampage over Equestria?
Thirty years after the Nightmare Moon incident, little is left of the once peaceful land of Equestria. The ponies that hadn't fled to the surrounding lands are living in fear of the evil mare, who's widening her control further and further, putting everything in the same, endless darkness.
However, the resistance has never died down. Formed by the representatives of the Elements of Harmony, the ponies of Equestria are still fighting for peace, especially when the flame of hope, which had almost ceased to exist, is fueled by small but bright spark...
Author notes:
Hello there dear readers. This is my first fanfic or more precisely, my first story at all (well except for those stupid and totally boring writings I had to do at school). So please be critical and tell me when and where I mess up. And since English isn't my native language feel free to point out any typing errors and grammatical rapes and I'll fix them right away. That'd be pretty awesome of you.
In some later chapters, I'm going to add some romance, though I'm not sure yet how far I will go.
I found the cover here but I don't know who exactly made it in the first place:

If you know who made this, please tell me so I can give proper credit to its owner.
Thank you.
This is a tired concept that so many, many, many authors before you have touched on and explored thoroughly. Much like the return of Discord or Rainbow Dash losing her wings. Bring something new to the table!
This seems interesting, and don't listen to people complain about it being an old concept. It doesn't matter if its original or not just keep writing, also i'm interested to read more so keep up the good work.
This is a particularly interesting divergence. I take it NM destroyed the orbs?

I am totally aware of the fact that I'm not inventing the wheel once again. The concept my story is based of is quite a popular one. However I don't think it is overused, but that's my point of view.
But I have two good reasons for not making something entirely new. The first and the main reason is that have to work with what my brain spits out, and currently it's giving me only ideas that aren't innovative as hell. Should ever something extremely amazing and new cross my mind, I won't hesitate to use it, but right now I have to stick to this. The second is that I can focus on improving my writing and my English since both of them are far from perfect.
(geez, pretty stupid to forget the second reason and adding it afterwards
I hope I can satisfy you with my next story

. You confirm my theory about people still enjoying a story like this.
Thanks for your reassuring comment
I don't know when I'll have the next chapter done. I've got a pretty important exam coming up and at work it's quite hectic since we're a little bit behind schedule. I will write ASAP but it might take a week or two.

. But your right. Just like in the series NM crushed the elements. I'll see if can fit that in somewhere. Thanks for pointing that out 
Oops... I completely forgot that part
Just checking in to see if there's going to be a new chapter anytime soon.

Your timing is quite good. I just finished writing. Going to upload it shortly after, but I want to read it through a few times.
Also I'd like to apologize. It took longer than I had hoped it would. I had actually finished chapter three a few days ago, but during rereading it, I noticed some serious logical mistakes. I attempted to fix them, but it made even less sense afterwards, so I decided to rewrite it from scratch. I'm still not entirely satisfied with it since I think it might be a little bit boring. But some explanations are necessary.
I hope you'll enjoy it nevertheless, and if not, the next chapter will have more action in it, I promise
Very nice, hope to see more in the future.
