My first poem story. This is held in my DtD series. I wanted to try something new...
This poem story is set in an early Equestria setting, where a young Luna learns how to combat the nightmares that soon effect her daily life.

Two thousand years before the Apple family would help found Ponyville and The Everfree Forest was called The Evergreen Forest. There lived a regal family born from the united idea that harmony for all pony and animal kind existed with the magic of the unicorn, the speed of the Pegasi and love for the soil from earth ponies. These new alicorns were prompted to lead and protect Equestria with the help of The Fire of Friendship.

Before Celestia and Luna would rule over Equestria, they watched from the sidelines and learned from their parents, Astrum and Morpheus. When Morpheus starts to question his own powers, he awakens a cold war. This ruins Equestria's feigned peace and its citizens begin to question if the pony tribes could ever unite as one without secrets. But as the stress builds an old friend's arrival only omens the return of a dark force once thought defeated. Now The Solus Heirs not only have to keep their citizens out of their suspicious plights, but their old friend's secrets hidden as well.

This story contains: Gore, violence, light romance and canon characters shipping with original ones!

Update: This story is under new management

This is the back story to the character Damson Elderberry. While also offering a bit more back story for some other DtD characters, it explains how he became the tactical "Fruit brewer" in my other story "Dismay turned Discord" and provides answers one might not get from the latter story.
