After Equestria is first shattered by Discord, Luna picks up the pieces of some orphaned foals hearts.

Discord… the lover and fiancé of the soon-to-be queen Celestia. His life was perfect… what went wrong?

All princess Luna knows is he destroyed Equestria, murdered innocent ponies, and ruined all hope for a bright future. She has a plan, but Celestia refuses her to go on. Luna must choose between her grief-stricken sister, or her scarred children of the night, and suffer the consequences of her action.

This is the story of Discord, Equestria, and this is a story of how Luna became Nightmare Moon.

To Begin

It was beautiful, Equestria. It's early days, only a few centuries in, it was the most beautiful place in the world. Light and happiness was all it knew, no shadowed hearts or evil thoughts trespassed here. It seemed like this place was, for lack of a better word, perfect.

If only they knew what lay ahead.

Why start with sorrow, why not begin where this truly does? It all began one Winter night.

"Tia! Tia!  Did you hear what mummy and daddy were saying?"

"I heard Lu-Lu, isn't it amazing!" Celestia sighed, twirling around. At this time, she was only eighteen, and wasn't as... impressive as she is now. Her mane pretty simple, all things considered. It was smooth, and wavy, but didn't flow like now. And it was a simple pink.
