Long ago, in the peaceful land of Equestria, the two royal alicorn sisters ruled the land in harmony. That is, until one night, the younger princess has mysteriously disappeared. The older one's suspicions are confirmed when she found out that Nightmare Moon has kidnapped the younger princess.

"Your sister is long gone! She will never come back!" Nightmare Moon said to an angry, yet worried Celestia.

"Stop it! Bring Luna back, or I'll have to..." Celestia shouted.

"What are you gonna do, accuse me of the kidnapping of a royal? She is my servant, and she is in a parallel universe, where it's eternal blackness! She'll never find her way out!"

As Nightmare Moon rushes through the mirror, she breaks the mirror into six pieces. The six pieces have scattered across Equestria, which is now called the Sunlit Empire because of eternal daylight.

Meanwhile, in the Sunlit Empire, Celestia is still sobbing because her sister is taken from her. "Luna, if only I saved you..." She whispered.

Luna awakens in a cell that is completely dark. There is no window, just a cell door. Her royal regalia is gone- she now looks strangely mortal. "W-where am I?" She asked, her voice echoing through the blackness.

"In my castle. You are my servant," A malevolent voice echoed, "Your sister sold you because she didn't want you."

"She wouldn't do that!" Luna jumps as she attempts to cast her magic. However, all her magic is gone- and her wings feel numb for a strange reason. Her mane is no longer flowing, yet it is still dark blue like the night.

"My servant, you are to do things for me!"

"My sister will come find me."

"She won't. The mirror is forever broken..."

A thousand years passed, and now it is the present, with Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash venturing in the forest after finding the five shards that are actually the mirror shards. Yet, they don't know, for Rainbow Dash and Twilight tend to find rare things. They're friends ever since they learned to walk and talk.

They are quite the adventurers, but Twilight prefers to rest from time to time.

Twilight's P.O.V

Rainbow Dash smirks as she speaks with me about what we have. I have a few books, but she wouldn't bother letting us rest so that I can read. The noises in the forest are creeping me out- as if something is lurking. "A cave? Awesome!" She exclaimed as we approach a cave.

"What's great about a cave?" I asked as I shudder. Last time we went into a cave, we got chased by a giant and scary spider with beady red eyes. I shudder at the memory.

"You're totally uncool when you wimp out," Rainbow remarked.

I hurt slightly at the remark. She teases me sometimes, but I won't let her know. "Light up the place with your magic," She concluded as we go further into the inky black darkness.

"Fine, whatever you say," I replied.

Meanwhile, Rarity is looking for a prince, and she hasn't stopped yet...

Rarity's P.O.V

My sister is with her parents because she doesn't need to go. She also gets bored easily, but that's Sweetie Belle. She loves to sing, and is friends with Apple Bloom and Scootaloo. They go "crusading" for cutie marks in free time. Not that I hate the idea of her crusading, but sometimes I worry that if she goes into a dangerous place like the forest, then she'll get hurt or worse.

Because I don't like going on foot, I am riding the train. It will be a long journey to Marendale, a kingdom once frozen by a late queen. The current queen has icy powers like the late ruler, and her name is Wintry Snowflake. They call her "Elsa" for short. She has a son named Regal Shield.

The name is very well befitting for the prince since he is very brave and royal. His aunt is Spring Cheer, which they call "Anna" for short. The kingdom must have been small, like a village.

Fluttershy's P.O.V

As I walk to the dining room, I smile at Apple Jack. She is my close friend, not a distant guard. I always feel protected whenever she is around. She is quite strong- and she doesn't need a spear. A lasso and her legs... That's just it. Her friend, Rainbow Dash, is adventuring with a unicorn named Twilight Sparkle.

And there's somepony else I know isn't really a pony, but a draconequus. His name is Discord, and he's sort of lived for years- but he is still a bit young. He is quite chaotic and funny, and sometimes I don't know what to do with him.

As I start eating my dinner, Mom asks me a few questions about my future position. "Well, I'd be very nervous," I said, "Can't Cadence take the additional responsibility?"

"Hmm... Not really. It shouldn't be too burdensome for her, but I'm sure that there is such thing as a moon..." Mom paused as she frowns once again.

"Why are you sad whenever you speak of the moon?"

She sighs, and I could see a tear going down her cheek. "Please give me some time. I'm fine," She lied. She is actually sad about something. Is there somepony that she lost? Or is she just chronically depressed?

I decide not to ask that question again. Sometimes it feels as if I were hurting her feelings. "Sorry if I asked," I said.

"That's alright," Mom replied.

Twilight's P.O.V

Rainbow Dash may be rude at times, but I still like her. A minute later, we notice a slight glint on the ground. "What is that?" I asked, "The sixth shard of a mirror?"

"What are you talking about? If we place them together, then it'll be a mirror," She replied, "But I don't think we can use it for appearance."

"Yeah... In my book, there is a rumor about a Moon Princess that got taken away by the Nightmare. They're supposed to be in another world, but we can't go into the castle without permission... What can we do about it? Let's put our heads together and think..."

I levitate the shard, and then I place it into my saddlebag. "Oh, I have an idea! You know how dark it can get when the dull sun is in the sky, right? It will be the right time to sneak into the castle! We must be quiet and sneaky..." I said.

"I'll cover you if we ever got caught," Rainbow replied.
