There are constants and variables throughout any multiverse or timeline. Sometimes changing one or a few things can have huge effects. This is an alternate take on the end of PenStrokePony's "Past Sins", and beyond.

What if Spell Nexus willingly accepted Nightmare's "Blessing".

What if Shining Armor was not indoctrinated?

What if it was Dusk Shine in Twilight Sparkle's place?

All this and a little more will be answered in this prequel story about my take on Nyx.

This is a prequel story to Emerald Spider: First Contact Equestria.

EDIT: I want to apologize for however many of you were interested in this story. I had every intention of coming back to finish this, but me and my Co-Writer The-Lonely-Art had a falling out to put it lightly, and I honestly don't know who is more at fault, me or her. Maybe things will be better between us one day, but with a heavy heart, as it stands this story is canceled, as I cannot in good conscience continue the story without her. I sincerely apologize as I had time to work on my stories, but always got distracted. If anyone wants to blame me I won't blame them.
