I have ruled Equestria for four hundred years. In that time, I have seen generations live and die. Empires, rise and fall. Ponies cringe in fear at my very name.

For four hundred years, I've waited for them to return. And now they're back. Now this nightmare can finally end.

Now I can atone for my crimes.

Alright. This is the ONLY sequel to my story "The things I do for love", and it picks up where the sad ending left off. I just kinda had this crazy ass idea, and decided 'what the hell, it sounds like a decent sequel, might as well post it' and here it is. I don't expect this story to be very long, but stranger things have happened. I will add characters a chapter or two before they're actually seen by the main character. Anyway, constructive critisism is appreciated at all times, enjoy the story!
