"I shine brightest in the dark. I am there but cannot be seen. To have me costs you nothing. To be without me costs you everything"
The world ended, a plague turning unicorn and alicorn alike into bloodthirsty monsters.
In its aftermath, with her lands and ponies still recovering, Princess Luna leads a team to the isolated village of Somnambula, the last part of Equestria left unaccounted for.
There are doubts that anypony survived in the month-long heat. But among the ruins of a civilization older even than her own, the Princess holds out hope.

This is a side story to BaeroRemedy's excellent story And Hell Followed, which I absolutely recommend reading before this.
A big thanks to BaeroRemedy for going over the story.
This is a fantastic start! Can’t wait to see where it goes.
Amazing that out of all this, what Luna finds surprising is that Daring is real. Brings an innocence to her.
Looking forward to this!
Very excited to see a continuation of And Hell Followed.
