Twilight arrives in Ponyville to deliver a message from the Princess Celectia. However things do not go quite as planed. A dark version of the first episode in which the qualities of all of the characters have been skewed to a different aspect but not completely changed. Not yet completed, this is my first attempt at a fiction, comments and feedback greatly appreciated.
