Luna P.O.V

I only wanted respect. Was that too much to ask? "Princess Celestia this and Great Ruler Celestia that, no one ever cared for me."

I soon found myself in the Everfree Forest. This was where my dejected hooves had carried me. The gloominess of the eerie fog and the sagging trees suited my mood very well.

"Hello there!" an obnoxious voice interrupted my reverie. I turned to see my least favourite draconiquis. Actually the only one I had ever met. I guess that would make him my favourite too.

"Discord!" Celestia and I had defeated him as we came to power over Equestria. But, well, instead of imprisoning him in stone as I was supposed to I forced him to stay in the forest. I had felt bad for him. We thrive in harmony, but it wasn't his fault he was the embodiment of chaos. Although he annoyed me utmost, we had kept each other company during my sister's celebrations where, as much as she denied it, I was unwanted.

"Come Luna, meet my friends." And of course, Discord, being himself, used his powers and I was forced to oblige.

Out of the shadows came two almost ponies I had had the misfortune of seeing before. One was queen Chrysalis, the changeling leader. She was a somewhat terrible sight, with perforated hooves and a ragged mane. The other was king Sombra, a unicorn. You could see the evil on him. Glowing green and red eyes, encircled by large streaks of deep purple. Both the equines had dark gray bodies.

"Sombra was imprisoned in ice and Chrysalis locked in the deepest dungeon. Why are they here Discord?" I filled the names with as much disgust as possible.

"My dear Luna, you do realise that as much as stone would have imprisoned me, your little charm on the forest doesn't match my power." I glared at him. He continued. "As I am awesome" To illustrate his point, he made a throne of donuts appear out of nowhere, and he sat. "I was able to break these powerful ones out to help you"

I was dumbfounded. "Help me? You think releasing my enemies is helping?"

"Did you not say you wanted ponies to appreciate you and respect the night? We'll accomplish that together"

Chrysalis stepped forward. "Why should your sister be so much taller but not you? I will reform you to become a creature that instills fear in all those who pass. You shall be regal, respected and unmatched."

"And I will give you dark magic, so that all who oppose you can be vanquished easily", added Sombra.

"See?", said Discord, slinking over to my side "With our aid, you will become the most powerful pony that ever lived. You will become Nightmare Moon."

Constructive criticism very welcome. I will post chapter 2 (or 3 if you count the prologue) ASAP.
