Twilight awakens to find herself facing a bleak Equestria that had fallen into eternal night as the changelings, in more numbers than ever before, have returned with a vicious new appetite. Without her friends at her side and time running out, the odds are stacked against Twilight forcing her to turn to a single and unlikely ally. Discord.

**This is my first fan fic so... yeah, expect a poor level of writing accompanied by an overdone changeling-takeover story type. Despite that, feel free to criticize all you want. Cover image is borrowed.

Coming across a problem right now. No matter how many times I try to save, the story isn't showing up in the chapter. At least not for me. I don't know if anyone else can see it.

*EDIT*

All is fixed it seems!

1774206 I want to read it but the technical difficulties won't allow.

Well, I won't edit until it's fixed. Judging by the complaints of it on Knighty's comment's I'm sure it'll be soon.

Automatic thumb up and favourite.

Eeeyup! Editing is a bit of a trap right now! But when it's done... I swear by Odin's Celestia's beard that I will have earned that star and thumb! :rainbowdetermined2:

YES!

THE EDITING IS BACK.:twilightsmile:

YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EDIT: I tried editing and it failed. It stated the bug is still on the loose.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

this is intresting i think i want more :twilightsmile:

The story title has been changed. It's simply better suited. Sorry for any confusion caused by it.

None was caused 1819213.

Probably because I'm following you.

the story's good so far, i just have two things i would like to point out:

black pegacorn

you're referring to chrysalis; she's a changeling, i don't think that label is valid on her, and besides, isn't it easier to just call winged unicorns alicorns? (it's even canon now)

the situation is really really hazy (even the information we do have is kinda confusing). we start of with twilight fighting a shitload of changelings, no solid information on how she ended up there, what she's been doing since they arrived, where she is exactly or where she's headed etc.. then RD appears all of sudden with the elements of harmony in a bag, she swoops up twilight, dumps her at the entrance of a tower and then flies off. she's cornered at the top of the tower, where chrysalis is waiting:rainbowhuh:...celestia appears out of nowhere and twilight manages to escape through the window, with luna catching her as she faints. she then wakes up in zecora's hut and thinks about the situation, giving us a little information on the situation, it's still rather hazy though.

one more thing i would like to say; it's really hard to pick up on what elements the story will contain, again; not much information. it's easier to start reading something when you know what concepts to expect, groups are a pretty good way to convey this.

looking forward to more:pinkiesmile:

1821918 I would like to point out that never in (S.3 Ep.5) was the phrase 'alicorn' and 'winged-unicorn' directly linked to one another. The only thing that we have is its general appearance. 'Alicorn's' traditional usage is a reference to that of the material of a (suspected) unicorn's horn...

1822564
actually, it's quite common now that another definition is "winged unicorn", alicorn practically means winged unicorn in a number of languages as well, french and latin if i remember correctly are amongst them.:twilightsheepish:
also, in the episode; no, they never outright said it, but when it's an amulet styled as a unicorn with wings and they call it the "alicorn amulet" i think the connection is valid.:duck:

1821918

I just switched it out. No biggie. :twilightsmile:
It's meant to start out very hazy. Cranking out the third chapter right now which should do decent job in explaining the majority of stuff that happened. Maybe not all of it right away. Though I could add a slight bit in the first chapter to say that Chrysalis had been watching the battle from an open balcony.

great chapter!:pinkiehappy:
three month, by celestia's beard; that's a long time! i was hoping there for a while that she'd turn into a some kind of pseudo changeling, but no matter. so luna managed to regrow her horn or something? or was discord the one responsible for that star?

Just a small FYI to any new posters/readers come along.
This is my first fic done for MLP and I'm aware that it is chalk-full of errors. :facehoof: I polished up chapter one a good bunch, but the rest need work. I'll get to them when time permits me to.
