Luna is beginning to feel pangs of the same bitterness that once brought her transformation into Nightmare Moon. Refusing to allow that to happen, she initiates a drastic plan.

The implications will be far-reaching, especially for members of the Royal Guard, and for Twilight Sparkle and her group of friends. Will Luna's plan change Equestria for the better? Only time will tell.

Note: Events in this story begin directly after the Season 2 ending - A Canterlot Wedding.
