Princess Luna, upon learning of the confusion of the exact nature of what happened with the Nightmare Moon incident (especially among the common folk and her own Night Watch), has taken it upon herself to record her memory of the events that occurred over one thousand years ago. In the hopes of exposing the truth, she wrote this account for the public to finally see.

Picture of a street corner in the heart of Manehattan on a sweltering summer afternoon. On the road is a carriage, emblazoned with the image of a blue unicorn magician, flashing a condescending smirk to all passers-by. This image is of Trixie Lulamoon, also known as “The Great and Powerful Trixie,” one of a certain breed of unicorn magician who excels in flashy, grandiose effects and equally flashy, grandiose exaggerations of her own capabilities. Today, her show will end as it usually does, with only a few being impressed by her ostentatious display and her over-sized ego, the rest dismissing her as a show-off, but what awaits her afterward will be the challenge of a lifetime...

After witnessing a riot in the middle of Ponyville's Marketplace, Fluttershy discovers a stranger at the center of it all, an odd-looking, pitiful stallion who can't even speak who was being targeted for no discernible reason. She takes him under her wing, hoping to take care of him and prepare him for a big world that he clearly was never ready for. Little does she know that otherworldly forces are at work...
