Midnight is a dark-fearing soldier in Princess Celestia's Royal Guard. But all of that will soon change when his entire troop has a dream about Princess Luna telling them that Celestia had sent them on a false mission and left them out in the Everfree Forest. They then become nocturnal, sleeping during the day, training during the night. Sadly, Midnight is still afraid of the dark. The only thing that could be worse than being a nocturnal nyctophobic is to expect a coming battle with a powerful opponent, which is exactly what happens. This story is based off of Slyphstorm's song "Soldiers of the Night."
