When an ancient threat returns to Equestria, Princess Celestia and Luna are forced out of their position as the evil being takes over with a plan to 'rebuild' the world. With Celestia wounded, and Luna inexperienced, can the two princesses find a way to defeat this evil? And in dark times, can someponies find happiness and love that they otherwise wouldn't have?

This story will be written from multiple perspectives with a number of shippings, and some comedy here and there.

This is my first pony fic, and my first writing of any kind in a few years, so I hope you enjoy it!
