11 April, 1002 After Rebellion,

There are many tales and legends surrounding the rise and fall of Nightmare Moon. Some ponies say she was nothing more than a legend while others say she ruled Equestria with a rod of iron. I can say with certainty that neither are true. You see, I was there. Through this journal, I would like to share my story. It is my hope that within these pages the reader will be moved by the love of a mother for her son. A love that could transcend even the centuries.
