        It has been 8 years since Fluttershy’s passing, in which Twilight had blamed herself for after a failed experiment. And in those 8 years she had became the one who couldn't rationalize with the lose the most, she understood death, but not in that aspect.

In the first year she grieved with all her friends just the same. The second she couldn't separate from her studies, ignoring the majority of her royal duties and the reasons for this odd behavior was unknown. Until the next two years it was discovered that she was attempting to resurrect her lost friend, however before the other elements could stop her. The Alicorn had succeeded in conjuring her body, yet the soul was not that of the one they had loved. A demonic being had slipped through the enchantment and contaminated the ritual. Causing Twilight to unknowingly create a monster that wreaked havoc on Equestria for a short but brutal time, until Celestia Sacrificed her immortality to save everypony. And in year five Luna marched troops to Twilight’s castle due to her failure to respond to the crisis she had caused, but faith in Luna had faltered as soon as they reached the castle gates. The royal guard had either tucked tail and ran or swiftly betrayed the princess of the Night for the supposed princess of friendship. Causing Luna to retreat and flee to the Crystal Empire where attempts at negotiation ensued and failed due to Twilight's slipping sanity. However in 6 short months she had harvested enough magic to banish the entirety of the crystal empire to Tartarus despite the pleas of thousands including her own family. Still she accomplished that great feat at cost, Twilight had lost the majority of her magical power, but with Equestria all to herself and no pony to stop her it had been subjected to two years of brutality on a scale that Sombra couldn't even match.

But from that chaos was born an opposition, that in which Equestria had never expected. And with the eigth year, it has been constant conflict and dwindling resistance. However this new rebellion can stand a chance against Twilights tyranny  and will for as long as their leader stands… Rainbow Dash.
