Minor Crossover with the Persona series of videogames.

Historic records in Equestria have always been a jumbled mess, a mix of fairy tales and factual records, it's no wonder Twilight had to look hard to find the facts that time left behind. During her research to create a perfect timeline of the land's history and to one day ask Celestia why so much of it was obscured to begin with, our purple pony princess finds some ancient text detailing what life was like prior to Luna's one thousand year absence.

When she brings her findings to the moon princess, she learns that Nightmare Moon was more than what it seemed, of how broken the bond between the dirachs truly was as a result of its uprising and the lesson that sometimes it takes a friend to help you face yourself and the darkness within.
