Not looking forward to spending Christmas alone, Granny Smith spends the holiday with some old friends. On her way home she runs into somepony (or rather somepony runs into her) who reminds her that wishes really can come true, so long as you believe.

Celestia is dead, murdered in her own castle. Luna, desperate for revenge, is raging war on Equestria. People are dying everywhere. All because Twilight fell to the darkness of power.

A humanized My Little Pony AU where Twilight becomes desperate for more power and will obtain it by any means necessary. Takes place after the events of Equestria Girls

Minor Story Notes
Cutie Marks - appear on the thigh after they are earned; similar to tattoos; incorporated into clothing so other people can know about them
Unicorn Magic - no horns are visible to denote unicorn species; those who can perform magic are a separate race; genetic; perform magic using hands, first appears ages 9-13
Pegasus Wings - retract into back, making them invisible when not in use; those with wings are a separate race; first appear ages 9-13
Weapons - traditional medieval weapons (swords, bows, etc.); limited explosives; magic can be used as a weapon
Technology - pretty much the same technology in the original universe; horse-drawn carriages (yes we went there)
Even though all the ponies have been humanized, Spike is remaining a dragon. You’ll see why later…
