DISCLAIMER: MLP: FIM AND ALL RELATED CHARACTERS BELONG TO HASBRO I OWN MY OC's AND THE STORY IDEA THATS IT!!!! ALSO PLEASE NOTE THIS IS SET IN AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE!

You know how the history books tell it, two regal sisters ruled over the day and the night in Equestria, till that one fateful day where the younger sister grey resentful and became of mare of darkness having to be "banished" well the books are wrong. Nightmare Moon was not vanished she fled. How do I know this you ask? Well she was my mother, I am Midnight Shadow and this is my story.

Somewhere in the frozen north timeset 20 years after Nightmare Moons "banishment"

A young unicorn filly with a grey coat and black mane and tail can be seen playing in the snow with an older unicorn male with a white coat, blue mane and tail both with a black strip running through it, and a cutiemark of a sheild with two swords crossed behind it while an Alicorn with a coat black as night, blue mist like mane and tail, teal dragon like eyes and silver armor can be see standing next to an unicorn male with a curved horn with a red tip, grey coat, green eyes with purple smoke and silver armor and red cape, can be seen watching from a distance as several Pegasi, unicorn, and earth ponies dressed in armor can be seen forming a protective barrier.

Nightmare Moons Pov:

I chuckle as I see MidnightShadow use her magic to lift 10 snow balls and throw them at her personal guard Silver Dagger while running in the opposite direction. Sombra. I turn to my husband and touch him with my wing. Yes dear? He ask while looking up at me. It is time for us to return to the castle, Celestia will be sending her drones soon. He sighs before motioning for the guards to prepare for departure. Midnight It's time to go! I yell to our daughter. Okay mommy she shouts and runs to me, Silver dagger not far behind.

(Time skip cuz author being lazy af)

Mommy will you tell me a bedtime story? Midnight gives me a puppy dog look as she climbs into bed. Hmm how about my favorite story? I smirk as I recall the time my sister thought she could banish me.

*que flashback*

Sister there is another way! A younger Princess Celestia yells to the being that used to be Princess Luna. I laugh snorting in the process and stomping my hoof repeatedly. Y-y-you think t-that words will bring back the weak Princess Luna? I question in between laughs. How pathetic poor Celestia can't seem to figure out when she has lost! I continue to laugh until I hear my sister whisper, Then you leave me no choice forgive me sister. The younger Celestia can be seen charging up the elements of harmony. As the elements charge Nightmare becomes a purple smoke cloud and flies out the window.

A few weeks after running she ends up in the Frozen North, there she summons King Sombra and ask permission into his kingdom, a few years down the line they start dating, 10 years later they married and Nightmare became the new Queen of the Crystal empire, the at last an heir was born

*end flashback*

That heir was you. King Sombra says while walking up to the bed. Goodnight Midnight sleep well. I lean down and kiss her forehead while using my magic to tuck her in.

That's a wrap for the first chapter of Midnight Shadow's Adventures in Equestria.(AU)
