In a dark room somewhere in the city of Canterlot, where only the streetlights of the city glow and where the lights of the castle shimmer at an hour this late, a stallion by the name of Night Light is bent over a desk. He's writing again, and Shining Armor - his son - wants to know why. What dark secret is his father trying so hard to hide? Or is it less complicated; is it a simple habit and nothing more? Surely his father is willing to answer... isn't he?

Takes place before the events of the show.
