Sunset of an Eternal Night
A dark room, not a trace of light penetrates the deep gloom, suddenly, a momentary flash, which only lasts a second, lets it see a mirror in the place, and out of nowhere, there is a shadow, a silhouette that begins to move, hidden by the gloom.
The door to that room opens, it see a long and dark corridor. A hooded pony leaves the room and begins to wander down the hall with a somewhat hasty step, the footsteps echoing through the place. Two ponies are seen clad in dark armor, they have bat wings and their eyes are almost golden in color with thin and elongated pupils.
The guards walk down the corridor and pass by where the stranger pony was, but there is nothing in the place so they continue on, it is when they are quite far away, that the hooded pony reappears with a magic flash.
After walking through the corridors, the stranger pony is heard speaking, a feminine voice, frustrated. "Where the hell is it? I can't feel the elements close."
As she walks, she does not notice that there are two guards on the ceiling, honoring they inspiration, they hang upside down with their wings wrapping around they body. They immediately open their eyes to see that strange pony, immediately spread their wings and descend towards her.
The hooded mare notices their presence as they come down to attack, she rushes to get out of their way and avoid them.
"INTRUDER! INTRUDER IN THE CASTLE!" Claims the tho guards
The hooded pony starts to run, and is chased by the two guards. In other parts of the castle, other guards are seen flying at high speed.
The hooded mare runs but is suddenly seen at the end of the corridor, cornered by the two guards who are chasing her, they are thrown at her. Then, a glow covers her, and she disappears leaving only her cloak, both guards crash into it, both ending up by crashing against the wall to get wrapped in the cloak.
A second flash makes the pony reappear, a few feet from the guards. In the darkness of the place it is difficult to distinguish her yellow fur, or her reddish and golden mane.
As she watches the guards fight the cloak, many more are seen arriving from the opposite side. She runs towards them but quickly turns a corner to escape. She is persecuted.
She focuses energy on her horn and runs to a window right in front. It fires a bolt from its horn, and leaps through the shattered glass.
Time seems to slow down as the mare's body glides through the air, outside, the present night, the moon, and the stars, are the only witnesses to the moment when, with a flash of her horn, the mare disappears.
The guards who were behind go outside through the broken window, but only a few cross, as they all stop at the moment that they cannot see the mare anywhere.
It is in a room, a little further back in the hall, where the mare watches from a crack in the open door.
The guards seem to be talking to each other, in the end they split up, going in small groups in different directions. Some of they pass by the room where she is hidden, so she moves a little away from the door. When she was sure there were no guards around, she went out.
"Since when did Equestria have vampire guards?"
She asks in a semi-loud voice, although she does not pretend to wait for an answer and only leaves at a hurried pace.
Taking care not to be seen she walks through the corridors. She comes to a particular one, the windows adorned by stained glass, which powerfully attract her attention.
In the stained glass it can see a dark pony, who has wings and a horn, it can see the different faces of the moon around she. Another stained glass window shows that same dark pony with her wings outstretched, towering over three pony figures, representing the three races, all they bowing to the dark pony.
But the stained glass window that really catches mare's attention, is the one that shows an image, of that dark pony, throwing a light from her horn, which hits a white pony, who also has wings and a horn. The pose of that white pony, raised on her hind legs, shows that she is being hit by the attack of the other.
The turquoise eyes of the unicorn are focused on that image, more than anything, on the white pony ...
~O~o~O~o~O~
A unicorn pony with fur as white as pearl walks down the hall. Her purple mane and tail gathered in a bun, she is dressed in a servant garb, black and dark blue, she wears shoes, only on the front hooves.
She wears a group of fabrics on her back, her gaze fine, but showing frustration. She walks at a firm but heavy step.
She is unaware of a door that opens behind her, and before she knows it, she is surrounded by a crystal-colored aura that drags her into the room, a sharp scream is the only thing heard from her before disappearing into that room.
The unicorn is held against a wall and something covers her mouth preventing her from screaming. She shakes in an attempt to free herself, until she hears a whisper that denotes hiding a scream.
"Enough!" The pony with the red and yellow mane talks while holding the white unicorn with one hoof, and the other uses it to cover her mouth. "Don't make me turn you into a rat."
The threat seems to work because the white unicorn stops struggling, her blue eyes look at the turquoise of her captor.
"Now, I'm going to free your mouth, but if you think of yelling or asking for help, I'll turn you into a toad. You understand?!"
The yellow unicorn keeps her voice in a whisper, but the tone of her voice is severe. The white mare looks at her scared, but nods. The yellow one removes her hoof from the other's mouth, and they look at each other in silence for a few seconds.
"What do you want from me ...?" The white mare asks scared.
The other lets a second pass before speaking. "Answers. Tell me, what happened here?"
The question puzzles the white pony. "W-What? I don't understand…"
"What happened?!" Repeat the yellow unicorn. "What happened with Celestia?!"
She demands, forcing herself to keep her voice a whisper, but impatience is on her face.
The white unicorn speaks with fear. "The… princess Celestia?"
"Yes, Celestia!" Exclaim the other one. "Tall, white, always believing herself the best pony of all. What happened with her?!"
The white unicorn is intimidated by the attitude of the other. It makes her hesitate to speak.
"The... Princess Celestia, was locked in the moon..."
The captor looks surprised, her weight on the hoof that supports the other increases, and the captured pony lets out a moan from the slight pain.
"What the hell does it mean she's locked?? EXPLAIN YOURSELF!" At this point keeping her voice low is almost impossible.
"Don't hurt me, please…!"
"Speak now or I-"
"Nightmare Moon sent her to the moon after her return! She locked her there and took over Equestria!" Exclaims the captive unicorn now in despair. Unlike the other, fear makes her raise her voice.
The captor only looks more confused. "Nightmare Moon? How that possible? Nightmare is a pony tale."
"I-I… I also believed it… but-but, no… she's real. ... is our queen now..."
The yellow pony looks down and clenches her teeth, still holding the other one against the wall. And she remains thoughtful. "HOW, did all that happen?"
"… how come you don't know? Everypony knows what happened."
The yellow mare rolls her eyes. "Let's say I had a long vacation and I just got back. Now, speak before I lose what little patience I have left."
As a threat, she lights up her horn, and manages to scare her hostage. The white mare starts talking.
Almost a year ago... the last Summer Sun Celebration occurred.
Princess Celestia was preparing to raise the sun to start a new year ... but then ... Nightmare Moon appeared.
With the moon, she blocked the sun, and threatened to bring eternal night to Equestria.
Princess Celestia tried to stop her, but ... she failed, and Nightmare locked her in the moon, where she vowed that she would remain for the next thousand years ...
"Since then... Nightmare Moon became our ruler. And the sun... has not risen again..."
After hearing that explanation, the pressure of the yellow on the white weakened. Bewilderment, disbelief is reflected on her face. "Fuck! ... that envious princess was ahead of me."
The white unicorn is still scared, but now she looks intrigued. Feeling her captor loosen her grip, she tries to move. To her bad luck, her captor forces her again.
"What happened to the Elements of Harmony?"
"w-what?"
The Elements of Harmony! The most powerful magic in Equestria."
"I-I-I have no idea what you're talking about ..."
The yellow unicorn sharpens her gaze, which intimidates the other. Finally, the captor uses her magic to immobilize her captive, thus turning away and thinking to herself.
"Without the element of magic my plan will not work. And this place is not how it used to be." She turns back to her hostage. "Tell me, what will I find outside the castle walls? What happened to the rest of Equestria?"
The captive is silent for a moment, still scared. "I haven't left Canterlot since Nightmare Moon came to power, I don't know anything about the rest of Equestria... but... the city is always besieged by the lunar guard. Nopony can move around the city without authorization from the guard..."
Again, the captor sharpens her gaze. "So I can't just go around and get out of town, right?"
The white mare shakes her head, her eyes of fear always present.
The crystal magic disappears and the white unicorn falls to the ground in surprise. Her captor stands in front of her and looks at her seriously.
"Standing. You're going to help me get out of this place."
Her voice is as serious and aggressive as her gaze, and the unicorn in the ground can't help but cringe in fear.
~O~o~O~o~O~
The fabrics that the maid unicorn had brought, are wrapped in a skyblue magic, and suddenly they are transformed into a uniform similar to that of the white unicorn. And it is placed in the yellow one.
In this way, both leave the room, the white one being the one in front, and the yellow one behind, with her watchful eye on her obligatory guide.
"Why are you doing this to me ...? If Queen Nightmare Moon discovers me-"
"Look at it like this, you can help me out and deal with Nightmare later, or I can reverse your legs now, so you will walk backwards for the rest of your life."
The maid unicorn lowers her head and starts crying as she walks. "sniff... why is this happening to me...? I can never live fully... my life is one curse after another..."
"Ugh, stop complaining. If anyone should feels bad it's me!" The yellow unicorn complains. "I've been waiting 5 years for the moment to take revenge on Celestia, and now I discover somebody already got ahead of me. Now I must find the elements of harmony and I only have 3 days to do it."
"I don't understand what you're talking about ..."
"It does not matter. Just show me the way out."
"Stop! Do not move." Exclaim a male voice.
"Giah!"
"Shh! Don't scream!" Order the yellow mare.
Two guards approach the unicorns and surround them, one in front of them and the other behind, preventing them from leaving.
"Identify yourself!" Order one of the guards.
The unicorn in front begins to hesitate, and her captor behind her whispers loud enough for her to hear. "I can put a spell on you before they have a chance to save you, so think carefully about what you are going to say."
Nerves make the white unicorn break into a sweat, and she takes a hard drink before responding. "oh ho ho ~ I apologize gentlecolts. My name is Rarity, I am a servant to Queen Nightmare Moon. And she is... uh... ah, excuse me, can do you repeat your name...? dearling...?"
The other unicorn looks seriously at her captive guide, and the guards. They see her severely waiting for an answer. "… Daydream. My name is Daydream."
"oh ho ho of course! Yes... she is, she's new in the castle and I'm just... mentoring her so she can do her job."
The smile of the unicorn, Rarity, is beyond nervous as she looks at the guards. Daydream, for her part, remains serious and calm. The guards on their own part look at them somewhat suspiciously, though they soon seem to lower their defenses.
"Very good. But be careful, there is an intruder in the castle and the entire guard is looking for him. If you notice anything suspicious you should report it immediately."
At the mention of an intruder, Rarity sweats some more, while Daydream scowls. However, she doesn't avoid noticing the moment the guard behind them approaches and begins to inspect her.
"So you're new huh? That explains why I've never seen you."
Daydream remains serious, but suddenly she has a rather cheerful look and smile. "Oh yeah! I arrived earlier today, I have wanted to be able to serve your highness for a long time."
The sudden attitude makes Rarity shocked.
The guard in front speaks again. "Whatever you do, you better take care of yourself. As far as we know this intruder is dangerous, he has been able to circumvent security so far."
"oh I'm fine. I'm not afraid." Out of nowhere, Daydream walks over and leans against the guard next to him with a flirtatious look. "why would I fear? having such strong, brave and handsome guards here, protecting me."
The guard turns red and nervous.
"Because, if there were danger, you would come to protect me, right, handsome?" When she says that phrase, she blinks quickly and flirtatiously, while stroking the guard's chin.
"I, of course! Of course! after all, that's my job as a guard."
The steed speaks, puffing up his chest and in a presumptuous pose. His partner rolls his eyes.
"Oh I feel so safe with stalions like you here to take care of me."
One of the guards is so full of sudden ego, while the other seems full of others' shame, so much so that neither notice the moment when Daydream lights her horn, catches the guard next to her in her magic and throws him against the other.
Rarity is terrified, even more so when Daydream's magic grabs both guards by the head and smashes them, causing them both to be unconscious.
"Fuckers." Speaks she to the guards now out of combat, and quickly look at the unicorn. "You! Help me here."
Rarity just gets more terrified.
~O~o~O~o~O~
The guards, stripped of their armor, are wrapped in blankets that are tightened together, leaving a kind of fabric cocoon.
Rarity and Daydream are seen in one of the castle rooms, totally dark.
"Nightmare Moon is going to kill us! SHE IS GOING TO KILL US!"
Daydream walks over and holds out one of the guards' armor.
"She will if you don't stop yelling. Now put this on or I'll put it on your-"
~O~o~O~o~O~
Only a few minutes later, the two unicorns, now dressed in the armor of the guards, return to the hall.
If Rarity was scared before, now she wouldn't stop shaking with every step she took. "I'm dead. This is how I got... today is my last day... there are so many things I could never do... I could never open my boutique in Canterlot. I could never find my ideal prince. I couldn't even find my special talent..."
Daydream growls. "Ugh had to kidnap the most complaining maid. The less you talk and the more you walk, the sooner we will leave this place. So hurry up."
There is no major setback as they both go through the castle, and finally arrive at the main door, from where they can go outside.
After taking the first steps, Daydream is surprised. The city, like the castle, is submerged in night gloom.
The streets are only illuminated by scattered lanterns, and the lights of each house and building in the city. Despite the darkness, there are many ponies walking the streets. They are seen going back and forth between the different venues and shops, which are open to the public.
Through the streets and the skies you can see dozens of guards, guarding the entire city. There are several winged ones that stay in high points, vigilant.
"I thought it was early morning. Why are so many ponies awake?"
"When she rose to power, Nightmare Moon ordered that everypony will now have a nightlife. Active at night, you can only sleep during the day..."
"Didn't you say this was an eternal night?"
Rarity remains silent, just nodding her head slightly.
"… for a corrupt goddess she has a sense of humor. Now Walking."
She starts to walk, but Rarity stays where she is.
"What?! Where do you want to go now?!"
"To the train station. You say that the city is always active so it will surely be working now. We will leave the city."
"WE?! Why do you include me in your plans?! You're already out of the castle, what do you want from me now?!"
"The guard will still be looking for me, I won't be safe until I'm out of town. If things get too bad, I can take you hostage."
Such an explanation leaves the white unicorn stunned and annoyed. "hostage?! It's that you- you're a-… you're a horrible pony, did you know that?!"
"Meh, I've been told worse things."
"Don't even think I'll continue with you! You have damaged me enough! I will not follow your stupid ideas!"
She turns her back on Daydream and frowns. However Daydream only smirks.
"I don't think you are in a position to choose. You have already become involved with me, and if you return to the castle the guards will look for you. Not being able to tell them where I have gone they will consider you a traitor. They will lock you up and you will have no way to defend yourself."
There is silence. The words of the yellow unicorn bring tears to her, hostage.
Rarity turns and looks at Daydream with hurt but angry eyes as she speaks to him in an equal voice. "Why are you doing this to me?! I don't even know you! Why do you come out of nowhere and ruin my life! You have no idea what it took me to get here! What I had to endure to have a decent life…!"
"Yeah? Well join the club Madam. Guess what, you're not the only one who's had a bad life. And you better learn, that if you want something better, you must take it! Nopony will give you what you want, or what you deserve." As she speaks she approaches the other mare almost threateningly. "I have endured and waited a lot for this day. I will get what I deserve and no one, not even Nightmare Moon is going to stop me."
"Hey you two!" A voice is heard approaching.
A guard from outside has seen them and is now approaching them. Rarity is terrified and tries to hide using Daydream as a wall, she stays on her back so as not to be seen by the guard.
"What do you think you are doing? You can't leave your rounds and chat."
Daydream's back is still turned but begins to speak, imitating a deeper voice. "yes, yes! We are on our way. You, walk, now."
The last thing she says to Rarity, while giving her a gentle push, to make her walk. Thus both begin to walk, although the guard who sees them seems unsure.
~O~o~O~o~O~
As both unicorns walk the streets. It can see the ponies walking around hurriedly, many of them are tired. There are a couple of ponies that return home looking almost asleep, others instead leave their homes and must suppress a yawn before leaving. In business it see employees, apparently swapping places with other newcomers. But what stands out the most is the presence of guards everywhere. Whether walking the streets or flying high, the guards keep an eye on every pony around.
"This place is full of guards. But they don't seem to be looking for me. It's like everyone is being watched." Says Daydream intrigued.
"Nightmare Moon's orders were for all ponies to be under surveillance. The ponies cannot do anything without the express authorization of the queen, and the guard ensures that no one is in the streets outside their allowed hours."
"Wow, that girl has problems."
The conversation ends. The rest of the way both mares are careful not to get too close to other guards. Other ponies at see them walks away on their own, apparently afraid of the armor they wear.
The train station is already very close, and Rarity decides to speak.
"Um, no offense but, what is your plan now? The guards cannot take the train and, the ponies cannot board without express permission and an advance reservation of at least six hours..."
Daydream when hearing that stops, she notes thoughtfully. After that and making sure there are no ponies nearby, she uses her magic and takes off the helmet, then the rest of the armor and throws everything in some nearby bushes.
"I'll think of something, for now, take off the armor and follow me."
Daydream begins to walk, and Rarity can only sigh, then do as she was told, removing the helmet and the rest of the armor.
None realized, that their action is seen by a guard who watches them from a distance, and in the shade.
Being close to the station, Daydream stops, Rarity also behind her.
"What happens?"
Daydream watches the place carefully. She notices how the ponies buy their tickets by presenting an identification, and when they get on the train they present a document. She remains thoughtful, inspecting the place and everypony's actions.
Rarity doesn't speak or do anything while looking at her, concerned. Suddenly, she gasps when she feels herself being caught from behind. "Let me go!"
The scream immediately makes Daydream turn around, she sees the white unicorn being held by a guard, who is holding a moon-shaped dagger over the mare's throat in the fold of his hoof.
"Something told me that you were not part of the guard. Who are you and what are your plans? Any act of rebellion is a crime before our ruler.""
"No please! I didn't want…!"
"Silence! You will speak in front of the night court."
Rarity starts crying and trying to excuse herself, but the guard shuts her down by threatening her neck, then looks at Daydream.
"You! Get on your knees and lower your horn to the ground. Obey or your partner will suffer the consequences."
Daydream remains in a defensive pose, looking seriously at the guard. Rarity looks at her pleadingly.
"Daydream… please… help me…"
Looking at the guard and his hostage, Daydream is serious, angry, slowly lowers her body, and bows her head, to the point that her horn almost touches the ground.
The guard begins to approach, using only his hind legs to advance while holding Rarity with his forelegs.
Daydream suddenly speaks. "Rarity do me a favor."
"W-What ...?"
"... Close your eyes."
Rarity is puzzled, even more so when Daydream's horn begins to glow. This makes the white unicorn react and she closes her eyes tightly. The guard is unable to react before Daydream's horn casts an intense light that leaves him blinded.
Unable to see, the guard loosens his grip on Rarity, she senses this and immediately lets go, the next thing the guard feels is a smack to the face followed by a kick to the torso.
He falls to the ground and despite not being able to see, if he distinguishes a flash that leaves him unconscious.
Daydream sees the now unconscious guard on the ground, turns to Rarity and she rubs her eyes before opening them and realizing what happened.
"… Are we dead…?"
Daydream just rolls her eyes before looking at the guard on the ground, then the station, and then she has an idea. "I don't think you have a marker handy, do you?"
Rarity doesn't seem to hear her, but from somewhere she had pulled out a small mirror, which had an eyeliner that she was now using to fix her makeup. When she notices Daydream looking at her, she asks. "What?"
~O~o~O~o~O~
The yound steed behind the box office is shocked when a guard appears in front of him.
"Uhum! Attention worker, I need two train tickets, this is an urgent matter that must be attended to."
The guard speaks, although his voice sounds strange, and he does not seem to be moving his lips.
"I understand, but I will need the identification to find the reservation of the tickets." The ticket pony responds.
"There are no reservations. It is an emergency trip and it cannot wait. It's a direct order from Queen Nightmare."
"I'm sorry, but the law requires me not to let anyone board without an advance reservation."
Suddenly the guard approaches, placing his face right in front of the ticket pony. "You are not understanding me. I have two ponies that must board right now, under the command of His Holy Highness. If you does not obey orders, you will have to answer to Queen Nightmare herself, and explain why you refuses to follow her command."
If the ticket boiler wasn't scared, he would have questioned why the guard has such black eyes, and why he doesn't blink.
"Y-Yes sir… where… exactly?"
Without the ticket holder being able to see her, it is Daydream who is crouched out of sight, and holding the inert body of the guard in her magic. Imitating a deep voice, she answers. "Uhum, Ponyville."
~O~o~O~o~O~
The train begins to march, slowly it is moving away from the station.
From one of the carriages, Rarity watches the city from the window. Her face looks downcast, sad, and extremely worried.
"Stop worrying." Says the yellow unicorn sitting next to her." From here there is no way they will find us."
"... that's not what worries me..."
Daydream looks at her curiously, but Rarity doesn't say more. She just sighs, and falls into her seat.
For a moment there is a deep silence. Until Rarity speaks again. "And… what now…?"
Daydream takes a few moments "Well, I'll look for the Elements of Harmony. You, I think I no longer need you, so you can do what you like."
The answer does not seem to cheer, nor calm the white unicorn. Silence returns, until she speaks once again. "Hey… thanks, for helping me there."
Daydream looks at her curious.
"When the guard caught me. Actually, I thought you would escape or something. But you saved me. I… well, thanks for that."
Daydream shrugs "meh, don't think I did it for you. If I let you get caught, you could have caused me trouble. Also, that guy wasn't going to hurt you, he just wanted to scare us."
"Why do you say it? It seemed very serious to me ..."
"Nah, I saw it in his eyes, he wouldn't have done anything to you even if I attacked him or ran away."
After saying that, she falls silent and leans back on the seat and closes her eyes to rest. Rarity looks at her, still unconvinced, but doesn't argue.
"Well, still... thanks, Daydream."
The yellow pony slightly opens one eye and then closes it again while speaking. "Sunset Shimmer."
"Excuse me?"
"Sunser Shimmer." Repeat the fyrie mane. "That's my name. I just made up that other one at the time. My name is Sunset Shimmer and you should not forget it.
"Oh! Um, well then, thanks, Sunset Shimmer."
The conversation ends, Sunset just lies down, not asleep, but resting. After looking at the window once more, seeing the city of Canterlot shrink in the distance, Rarity breathes one more sigh, and then imitates her partner, registering on the seat, she does as if to fall asleep.
The train just continues on its way, moving away and taking several travelers inside, including unicorns.
~O~o~O~o~O~
In the city, inside the royal castle. Inside a great hall, a sinister throne hidden by the dim light can hardly be distinguished, made of platinum-plated glass, decorated with sinister wings, above it had openings that almost look like blades, and at the top, the design of a growing moon accompanied by an ethereal wave.
And sitting on that throne, is a pony much taller than any other, fur so black that it seems to merge with the darkness itself, only her crystalline celestial armor and her sharp eyes of the same tone are noticeable enough to denote her presence.
There is a guard who introduces himself and stops in front of the throne, not daring to see the one on the throne from the front, he begins to speak.
"Your Royal Highness… I'm afraid we have news. An intruder infiltrated the castle, and now… I'm afraid… she's escaped…"
Such words cause the pony on the throne to spread her dark wings, as if it were a sign of threat. The guard immediately leans in and closes his eyes as he trembles in fear.
"What kind of insolent pony has the nerve to break into my palace?!"
To the great terror of the guard, the pony leaves her throne and walks down the steps to face him.
"Standing! You, waster."
The guard obeys and swallows hard in fear as he directs his terrified gaze at the dark pony.
She lights up her horn, as black as the darkness itself, and touches the guard's forehead.
In seconds her mind is filled with visions of a yellow fur unicorn, whose mane and tail are red with yellow stripes, and a white unicorn with purple mane and tail.
Once finished, she raise her head and look at the guard. "Who is this deluded one that dares to challenge me?"
"I-I don't know your majesty. Nopony knows, although... one of them seems to answer to the name of... Daydream..."
"Daydream. And you let her escape, you are useless! Call the general immediately, and get out of my sight NOW!"
She yell the last word and the effect is the guard flee in terror as he stumbles over his own hooves until he leaves the room.
The dark pony is left alone in the place, angry, and thoughtful.
Just minutes later, another pony appears in the great hall and bows to the pony who has returned to her throne. Unlike the guards, this pony wears firmer armor, which covers more of the body. The armor is also deep black in color.
"I am here your highness, have you asked to see me?" That pony speaks, with a feminine but raspy voice, and bows to the tallest one.
"General, I have been informed that the castle has received a visit from an intruder."
"That's impossible! Nothing escapes our vigilance."
"Well a pony did it. And if she could do that, she is no ordinary pony." As she speaks, she begins to descend again, to stand in front of the general. "I have a strange feeling about this pony. I feel like she can become a real nuisance. That is why YOU are going to hunt her down. I want you to move your troops and not rest until they find her, and bring her before me!
The general raises her front leg in obedience, and when she lowers it she asks a question. "Who is this pony? Your Highness."
As before, the tallest pony touches the general's forehead with her horn, this time it is she who implants the appearance of unicorns in the mind of the other.
"I trust you will accomplish this mission, General Rainbow Dash."
The general removes her helmet, revealing her face, her pink eyes, her cyan fur, and her rainbow mane, which she wears close-cropped.
"You can count on me, Queen Nightmare Moon."
Author's Note
IMPORTANT!
READ PLEASE!
Well hello!
Yeah, so after reviewing the season 5 finale, I got to thinking about the timelines, and I thought... What would happen to Sunset in a world where the bad guys have won.
So I said to myself, FANFIC TIME!
Anyway, just to clarify, this is NOT the timeline seen in the show, I was inspired a bit by that, yes, but it is my own representation of an Equestria where the good ponies were not there to save the world.
Anyway, I hope you like the idea, and I hope I can update without much mishap.
Also, I ALWAYS put dialogue in bold in my stories, because I like it that way. So I will ask for no comment on that, thank you.
Without further ado, I say goodbye until the next chapter.
Bye!
