Amidst the enchanting beauty of her nocturnal realm, Princess Luna grapples with her lonely existence as Equestria's ruler of the night. In her search for love, she unwittingly creates the powerful and alluring alicorn who calls herself Nightmare Moon. As their secret encounters unfold, Nightmare Moon convinces Luna to embrace her inner darkness before seeking the affection of her subjects. Luna's heart becomes ensnared in a perilous struggle, setting the stage for a tale of longing and transformation.
I was thinking of this the moment I finished reading the story:
"And all will know the wonders of my dark and jeweled sky,
When all the world is wrapped in an eternal lullaby!
So say goodnight to this, the final setting of the sun!
Tomorrow dawns in darkness, the nighttime has begun!"
- The Moon Rises, by Ponyphonic
