A year ago, Nyx herself was synonymous with the horrific creature known as Nightmare Moon. That was, after all, her past life. But a whole year has past, and finally, finally, the general populace has forgiven her. After all, it wasn't entirely her fault. She was being twisted and controlled, manipulated by the true evil that branded her a villain. But now, she was finally free.

But what would happen, if she wasn't the only one? What if there was another, just like her?

There is a saying, one must learn from another's mistakes. What if there was another cult, one not under any sort of mind control? One that learned from the mistakes of its predecessors, and strived to revive something much greater than a single mare?

What if they tried to revive the most horrid of evils ever known?
