Princess of Shadows, Darkness, and Light

by jwizard
The rumors of a kingdom that Luna had made before her fall to Nightmare Moon have persisted; but what if said rumors were true? What if there WAS another kingdom, one that existed on the moon?

Years ago, after the fall of Discord, Luna had done all she could to preserve the happiness of the foals who were left homeless and parent-less. This is the story of how the Light of Equus itself preserved her kingdom after her fall to her Nightmare, and how the Princess of Shadows, Darkness, and Light came to be.*^

This story is based on the song and video Children of the Night from YouTube. All rights of both the song and the video belong to their respective owners. My Little Pony and its respective characters are owned by Hasbro; this story is written in accordance to all free speech laws.

*Dark tag is added for future chapters, as there are some dark themes involved in later chapters of the story.
^For those of you that are interested in being a pre-reader, PM me here on fimfiction for my unpublished view password. You can also search for each chapter in Gdocs; keep in mind that you will have to puzzle out things like italics and underlining, as I use the tags that fimfiction uses for font editing. Yes, I know, that's what copy/paste is for, but I'm lazy. I'd rather just upload the Gdoc and be done with it; less work that way.

Edit, August 26th, 2016: As of the newest chapter, the Incomplete tag has been reinstated. Also, the Gore tag has been added due to graphic scenes. Seriously folks, I had no plan in adding that tag, but you know muses; they're like women in that they can always change their minds.
