Equestria was a peaceful country. That is, until King Sombra came, and dethroned Queen Celestia, Princess Luna and Princess Cadence. Now, the Pegasi are forced to spend the rest of their days in Cloudsdale. Everything the people without magic do-farming, construction, you name it-is for King Sombra. The unicorns weren't so lucky. If they were not in Sombra's School of Dark Magic, they were either slaves, or executed. One thousand years later, Twilight Sparkle is a gifted Unicorn in Sombra's School of Dark Magic. But one night, she is approached by a strange figure, and shown a vision of Equestria, a version she had never seen before. Suddenly craving this version of Equestria, Twilight goes out in search of something that will be able to defeat King Sombra, the man who raised her. Will she have the strength to defeat the man she looked up to her whole life? XXX DISCLAIMER: We do not own My Little Pony.
