Regal, royal, goddess of the moon, protector of dreams and vanquisher of nightmares, guide of the deceased, that's what the masses oftentimes call me.
But in reality I am a hideous, twisted monster who wrongfully took the lives of hundreds of innocent ponies, hundreds of dreams and wishes crushed in a single night because of my own lust for power and glory.
I am a murderer, and I cannot stand the pony I see in the mirror for she is a murderer too.

Luna struggles with living with the guilt of knowing that she has done some horrible things when she had let the Nightmare demon take control of her body, but something else that has been plaguing her for nearly a year begins to ramp up in intensity, and she suddenly has an increase of thoughts that she knows are not her own. She is brought alarmingly close to the point of doing something unthinkable when something else reveals It's presence.
