You wonder why the Everfree forest still exists. Couldn't someone have just cut it down by now? It's more trouble than it's worth.

You must continue, however. You've been asked to deliver some herbs to a zebra shaman living out somewhere in these woodlands, and that's what you're going to do.

Suddenly, a bright flash of light stuns you and you feel incredibly uneasy, though you're not sure why. As your vision returns to you after the flash, you see a figure stood in front of you.

She stands motionless, and you begin to back away cautiously. Something about her seems familiar - she's a slender pony with black fur and piercing green eyes.

Suddenly, you realize this must be Nightmare Moon. You've read about her in history books.

You turn around and start to run away when she screams out at you.

"STAY WHERE YOU ARE," she says firmly.

Despite all your instincts telling you to continue running for your life, something about her voice leaves you no choice but to stay where you are and turn to face her.

"Uhh," you begin, "...hi?"

She ignores your greeting. "Tell me where I am," she says, not taking her eyes off you.

"Uhh," you uselessly murmur. You're too frozen by fear to speak.

"I asked you a question," she says angrily.

"E-everfree forest..." you manage to say.

"Hm," she says. She walks around you in a circle, looking at the forest around her. Her boots crush the leaves under her hooves as she walks. You stare at her boots for a second and try to figure out what material they're made of, but it doesn't look like any metal you've ever seen. Maybe some moon-metal or something?

She stops walking and laughs. "Excellent," she says. "Better than I thought, anyway."

"What's going on?" you ask. It's not every day you see Nightmare Moon randomly appear in front of you.

"Ahh, of course," she hisses, "where are my manners. Am I right to presume that you know who I am?" she asks.

"You're Nightmare Moon," you say.

"Correct," she replies. "I want you to point me in the direction of Canterlot."

"What? Why?" you ask her.

She narrows her eyes at you. "It's none of your concern. I asked for directions, and now I expect you to give me them."

With some kind of superhuman resolve, you manage to stare back at her. "Like I'm gonna tell you where Canterlot is! You're out to get the Princesses again, aren't you?"

You feel badass for about 5 seconds after successfully confronting her until your legs go weak and you feel incredibly unwell as fear grips you again, only much more intensely this time.

Nightmare Moon stares at you again, and although the rage is clear in her eyes you think you can detect some underlying admiration for having stood up against her.

Her voice manages to remain remarkably calm despite her obvious anger towards you. "You know," she says, "maybe I didn't prepare myself very well for this."

"What?" you ask.

"I should have expected the people of Equestria to resist me. I suppose that's what happens when you're brainwashed all your life," she says matter-of-factly.

"Brainwashed?" you ask.

"Yes," she continues. "Brainwashed. Tell me, how do you know of me? I presume you learnt about me in your school lessons when you were a child?"

"Uh, yeah," you reply.

"And I suppose your mother always used to-"

You interrupt her. "I don't have a mother," you say. "Well, not until recently. But it's sort of weird because... actually, nevermind. Sorry I interrupted," you say.

"Oh, um, I see," she says. "Well, I suppose your father used to use me as a cautionary tale when you were very small?"

You cast your mind back to when you were just a little colt. "Yeah," you say, "I guess I do remember that. 'Do your homework or Nightmare Moon will get you', that kind of thing."

She sighs. "As I expected, you're all brainwashed to go against me. What a shame."

You're quite intrigued by her now. "Well, can you blame us? You tried to kill Princess Luna! You got banished to the moon! You tried to bring eternal night when you came back!"

She lets you finish your rant, then immediately replies. "I'm going to tell you what really happened, but I don't know how much use it will be. It depends if you're the kind of person who'll stick with what they've been told all their life, or if you're the kind of person who's willing to question what they've been told are facts."

"I'll take the red pill," you say.

"...What?" she asks.

"I mean I'll listen," you say.

She smiles. "Good. Now, what did you say first of all? That I tried to kill Princess Luna?"

"Yeah," you reply. "It's well-documented. It's regarded as one of the bleakest points in history."

"No, no," she begins, "I didn't try to kill Luna. You see, I am sure you've realized that I am not of this world. I have the ability to absorb another organism's consciousness and combine our powers."

"Woah, like that thing in that one episode of 'Dr. Whooves'?" you ask.

She sighs exasperatedly. "...yes. Like that thing in that one episode of 'Dr. Whooves'. Can I finish my story now?"

You nod.

"Good. I met Luna one night outside Canterlot when I first came to your planet. She told me about how she put so much effort into painting the night sky, but nobody appreciated it. Nobody appreciated her. So I offered to merge with her and allow us to become one until there was a more equal situation between Celestia and herself. Celestia misunderstood, and that's what led to the banishment."

You jump up, genuinely angry. "What?! How can you say Celestia misunderstood?! You started a war over it! You tore the country apart!"

She breathes deeply then continues, "No matter how much Luna and myself attempted to convince Celestia, she firmly held her belief that I had possessed her sister, instead of merging with her willingly. Celestia, in fact, started the war. Perhaps she had good intentions, but the fact remains that she was the instigator of violence."

You try to grasp what she's telling you. Having to question everything you've ever been told is giving you a headache.

"What about when you returned? When the Elements of Harmony defeated you?" you ask.

"That was a failed attempt at a revolution," she says.

"So you even admit you're trying to get to Canterlot tonight to start a revolution?" you ask.

"Yes? Not all revolutions are necessarily a bad thing, are they? What about the Russian revolution? Or the ones in Egypt?"

You stare at her, totally confused. "What? Russia? Is that where Gryphons come from? Wait, no, it's where Minators are from, right?" you ask.

"Oh, sorry," she says, "I forget that not everyone can travel to different planets. Anyway, there you go. That's my story. You may choose to believe it or choose not to, but either way I must reach Canterlot."

"Why don't you just forget about it?" you ask. "Even if your story is true, this country is fine now. Do you really want to spend another 1,000 years on the moon?"

She laughs. "If you're truly determined to change something, then 1,000 years on the moon isn't enough to stop you."

You don't know why, but you believe her. Something about her story rings true, and your head feels much clearer, as if this newfound truth has washed away the misinformation you believed for so long.

She turns and begins walking in a random direction.

"Hey, wait," you call after her.

She stops and turns around, her piercing green eyes staring into you again. "Hm?"

"I believe you," you say.

She seems genuinely surprised. "Really? Well, if Equestria has just a few more people like you, perhaps I'll stand a chance."

Something about those words makes you feel strange. Maybe it's the fact that an older-than-time all-powerful space-travelling demigod just actually complimented you.

She walks back towards you and sits next to you on the grass.

You turn and look at her again, her green eyes seem to have gone much softer and less aggressive than when she first appeared before you earlier tonight.

She drags her tongue across her fangs while staring at you and softly bites her lip, never taking her eyes off you.

You're staring into each others eyes for about 2 minutes before it dawns on you how bizarre this is. You're about to say something, probably some stupid joke to lighten the mood, but she speaks first.

Her voice is much lower and more subdued than before. "Did you know," she says, "It's been more than 1,000 years since I last had anyone be intimate with me?"

Well that came out of absolutely nowhere. "Uh, wow," you say. "I've never, uhh..." you say.

Nightmare Moon pulls off the boots on her forelegs and strokes your cheek with her cold black hoof.

You consider the fact that this is getting kind of weird, but decide to go along with it anyway.

She closes her eyes for a moment before her horn lights up and she removes her helmet, which causes her ethereal star-lit hair to cascade down over her shoulders.

And somehow, in that instant, it occurs to you how gorgeous she is.

She opens her eyes again and smiles at you, before narrowing her eyes seductively and pushing you gently down to the ground.

She positions herself on top of you and lowers herself down onto you. You feel your hard, ready cock slowly slip into her waiting, moist va-

*CRUNCH*

"Ow!" you scream.

"What?" Nightmare Moon asks.

"Uhh, I just realized you're actually quite a lot bigger than me... I think you crushed my pelvis," you say.

"...What?" she asks again.

"I said, I think you cr-"

"STOP RIGHT THERE!"

Nightmare quickly lifts herself off you and frantically scrambles to her hooves.

You look to your left and see a bunch of flashlights being shone in your eyes. It's the Royal Guard!

"WE HAVE YOU SURROUNDED, NIGHTMARE MOON! YOU WON'T HARM EQUESTRIA THIS TIME."

She looks at you with a slightly panicked expression. You stare back at her with a mega-panicked expression.

The Royal Guard leader suddenly shouts to his men. "OH MY GOD, SHE'S GOT A PONY THERE WITH HER! HE'S A CONSPIRATOR! TAKE 'EM BOTH DOWN!"

"Uhh, Sir, what if he's a hostage?" one of the leader's men asks.

"I DON'T CARE IF HE'S A HOSTAGE! THAT WITCH HAS PROBABLY TAKEN OVER HIS MIND AND POSSESSED HIM BY NOW - THE ONLY THING WE CAN DO IS KILL THEM BOTH!"

"Damnit!" Nightmare Moon hisses. "How did they find us here?"

"Wait!" you scream to everyone. "It's fine! Don't attack us! At least not while my pelvis is crushed!"

You look down.

"Oh, GOD! AAAAGH!" you scream upon seeing the gory remains of your groinal area.

"ATTACK!" the Royal Guard leader screams.

"Shit! Run!" Nightmare Moon says before spreading her wings and flying off into the distance.

"I can't frigging run, you moron!" you scream after her. "You pulverized my pelvis with your huge fat ass!"

Suddenly, a massive circle of spears is surrounding you as the Royal Guard drags you away.


You lie on the hospital bed, staring at the ceiling.

"I guess I'll probably never see Nightmare Moon again..." you say to yourself sadly.

The door to your room opens. "Hello, I'm Nurse Redheart and I'll be your nurse toda- Oh, it's you!" she says.

"Yeah, hey Nurse," you say grimly.

Her face lights up as she hops over to the end of your bed. "What's it gonna be this time? What stupid thing did you do to get hospitalized this time?" she asks with the excitement of a child opening a Christmas present.

"Ugh... I just m-" you begin before she cuts you off.

"No, wait! Don't tell me! Don't ruin the surprise!" she says as she shuffles through some papers on the clipboard attached to the end of your bed.

She reads for a second, then breaks down laughing. "'Crushed Pelvis'! Ahahaha!"

You hate this hospital.
