“There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man.” - Patrick Rothfuss
In a land of eternal night, a brave band of heroes stood against Nightmare Moon to return the Sun to their world. In a desperate bid for victory, they broke an ancient spell to pull six legendary heroes out of Limbo so that they could do battle with the Night Tyrant.
This is not the story of that battle.
It is the story of the monster that returned with the heroes - and how it found love.

Wow, that was dark. In more ways than one, I might add.
Overall, I really enjoyed this. Nicely done!
(I especially got a kick out of the implication that Zephyr Breeze of all ponies is a general in Nightmare Moon/The Pony of Shadows' army. Comedy gold, that right there.)
Interesting... Interesting. A pairing that not many think of but is so compelling when grasped. You did a good job in the characterization. I would welcome seeing more from this.

I actually considered adding the Dark tag just to make that joke. (And was talked out of it, likely for the better.)
Nice exploration of two very underused, yet potentially interesting villains, and how they would react to each other.
However, it was surprising though for Nightmare Moon to be the one in charge of the two given that in the IDW comics it's kinda the opposite, with the Pony of Shadows (in an alternate universe mind you) finding Nightmare Moon to be too weak and emotional to be of use to him and had her killed out of disappointment.

Which comic is this?
10234776
Nightmare Knights...which is kind of a sequel to Legends of Magic Annual 2018.

Kind of how? Do I need to read the Annual thing to understand the context or can I go right to Knights?
10234879
I read Nightmare Knights before Legends of Magic Annual, which made me a bit confused over the opening scene as well as the backstory of the plot...yet Nightmare Knights is still quite different in both tone and story, so I guess it can stand on its own.

Cool. I now have some reading material. Cheers!
An amusingly nefarious relationship. This was fun read.
This was the first thing that came to mind.
Adorable
Really hoping this is an evil Breezie General
Really neat and interesting, if a bit repetitive. A very different but really obvious when you think about it ship and you handled it amazingly. Kinda sad it ended at the wedding, was hopping to see some super shadow moon children.
Nice job

I presume the 'General' is Zephyr Breeze, Fluttershy's brother.
