Luna's crescent moon was high overhead as the rays of the night entity shined down upon the forest area.

At that moment only two ponies were currently up.

The Element of Magic and her young ward. Twilight, who felt something was wrong had stirred from her sleep. The very instincts that led her to check for Nyx were what guided her to her young ward.

And sure enough there was a reason why Nyx had been drawn out from her tent.

And when Nyx expressed what was keeping her up Twilight couldn't help but wonder why this could not happen later instead of sooner?

Nyx wanted to know...understand what she was and where she came from. The filly had been understandably patient with only knowing bits and pieces, but she could only be patient for so long.

So with that she carefully and meticulously explained everything.

The origin of the Nightmare.

The Night force.

Nightmare Moon.

Radiance.

The Queen.

It was a lot to burden the filly with. That knowledge.

At this, Nyx began to sniffle, tears already starting to stream down her face as she bit her lower lip. "But… but that means… I'm a monster!"

"No! No, Nyx, that's note true!" Twilight had feared this reaction. Nyx's conclusion that she was something she was not.

"B-b-but you said that I w-wasn't even a pony until that day!" Nyx blubbered, her crying turning into full-fledged sobbing. "I...I hurt so many ponies. Did so many horrible things. I tried to hurt you and the others. I'm a bad pony! I'm—" Before Nyx could continue her breakdown, Twilight brought her head close and nuzzled Nyx's neck while she used her hand to gently rub Nyx's back. Nyx responded by hooking her arms around Twilight's torso, hugging her tightly, and continuing to sob.

"Nyx, you are not a monster. You are not that Nightmare anymore," Twilight assured, her voice both comforting and firm.

"B-but—"

"You've changed for the better. Magic. Magic had reached out to me. The Elements of Harmony saved Midnight. Saved you. You were given a second chance. Nyx the entity that became the Nightmare what led it down that route? Do you remember what I said right?" she asked as the filly mumbled that it 'absorbed the negative essence of the dreamers.' "Now does that sound like an evil entity or an entity trying to do good, but ended up being harmed in the process?" she asked as Nyx continued to sniffle, her face burried into Twilight's chest. "Nyx you are a sweet, wonderful filly given a chance to live life the way you want to. You want to know how I know you're not evil?"

Nyx looked up, continuing to sniffle as Twilight gently pulled herself out of Nyx's hug and began to wipe away some of Nyx's tears. "H-How?"

"Naruto told me." He said as the filly tilted her head quizzically. "He has an ability that allows him to sense the negativity and evil in the hearts of others. If their malevolence is strong enough he can home in on it. Plus if you were really evil would the Elements of Harmony really just let you be when they were capable of sealing a being like Discord?" She gently stroked Nyx's head. "I promise you, that there is nothing to worry about. You're a good pony and what you once were doesn't matter. No matter what you will never be that entity again, okay."

Nyx sniffed loudly. "You… you promise?"

"I promise," Twilight assured as she nuzzled Nyx once more. This drew a smile from Nyx, but the moment of happiness was doomed to die quickly as a fresh frown and new tears appeared on her face.

"What's wrong?" Twilight asked.

"I-if I was born the way you said then that means I don't have a family. I don't have a mom or dad. A-A brother or sister...I...I'm all alone in the world."

Twilight winced, she hadn't thought through the full implications of what Nyx would perceive once she told the filly the truth, but...was it necessarily true? That the filly didn't have any family.

"Nyx, honey, trust me you have a family."

"W-What? B-But how. I wasn't born like a normal pony."

"That does not mean you are not loved or lacking a family.. You have all the family you could want in Ponyville," Twilight reassured her. "If there is anything I learned family is more than just blood ties. Being family is about experiences and bonds. And you have so many others you share bonds with."

"I… I do."

"Yes, of all the ponies that care about you. Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Ditzy, Rainbow, Fluttershy are your aunts and Naruto your uncle. And Spike, well he's like your cool big brother right?"

Well Nyx did enjoy hanging out with Spike. He did help her learn cool things. Like how to put mustaches on ponies.

"And if you're not with me, Spike, and the girls you're always off with the Crusdaers."

Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, Babs, Dinky, and Scootalo were always so much fun. They didn't mind that she was skittish and always tried to include her in things.

She had friends. Aunties and uncle. A brother. Okay but still...there was one thing she was missing out on.

"Then what...then what are you Twilight?" Her caretaker didn't suggest she was an auntie or older sister to Nyx so if they were family then what was Twilight supposed to be?

Twilight couldn't help it as the air in her lungs momentarily pause.

What was Twilight to Nyx?

She fed her. She sheltered her. She sought to educate the filly. If she was in trouble Twilight sought to protect her. She made sure Nyx was sent to school and sought to the filly's happiness.

This filly brought into this world needed and depended on her. This filly who invoked feelings of protectiveness and pride from Twilight. At first Twilight pondered if this was what having a protege was like, but no this didn't quite fill right.

She wanted Nyx to become the best pony she could be. Her happiness meant the world to Twilight.

And that's when Twilight knew.

"If you'll like. I'd...I'd like to be your mother." Twilight said as Nyx gazed up as if something shocking was revealed to her.

"You'd...you'd want to be...my mom?" Nyx softly and fearfully asked as if she got too eager Twilight might changed her mind.

"If you'd let me. I would like to."

For the first time in recent memory Twilight Sparkle was going with her heart over her mind. The air nearly left the unicorn's lung at the sudden tightness of the filly's grip around her torso.

"I'd...I'd love to be your daughter."

Twilight's lip trembled, and her eyes started to tear up even though she was smiling ear-to-ear. She brought her arms and returned Nyx's embrace.

This feeling...was one of the most wonderful feelings in the world.

One of the lesser known events discussed these past few months were the scarce disappearance of travelers to and from Vanhoover. To the northwest of Ponyville the major city of Vanhoover was the only known reason to head in that direction as much of the western area was rather unexplored.

Since most citizens traveled by train instead of wagon there was little coverage or knowledge of the few ponies that disappeared making the trek.

As a result anyone who ever goes into the area of Whitetail Woods always kept out an eye for wild creatures.

The recent patrols and such gave the citizens a sense of security.

Unknown to the inhabitants at the campsite not too far from them was a witch. A dark magical user who indulged into the darker aspects of magic often relying on sacrifices and other such things as rituals that accompanied in some cases mutilation of others to get the desired items.

This witch was an anthropomorphic feline of orange fur and emerald eyes with feline ears and tall yet slender figure high lighted by her purple robes and yellow belt.

The witch used her power to summon her staff to her. The dwelling they were in were decorated with many flasks vials, and cases that obtain all matters of potion ingredients.

The inner workings of the cave were carved out over a period of time and for the most part looked smooth. The trappings of the floor looked to be made out of ursine fur and other hide as stitched together furniture filled the dwelling.

The witch summoned a crystal ball to her as an image appeared reflected on the orb. On the image appeared the camp site where the citizens of Ponyville were. A plan was already forming in her mind.

A day had passed and the kingdom was a buzzed by the events of what happened. The resurrected Lunar Guard didn't have much status besides the exploits of their captain. So when one of their members, a newly minted captain at that, proceeded to defeat several Solar guard members the hot new topic of discussion essentially led to the other divisions to discuss the effectiveness of Princess Celestia's personal Guard's effectiveness.

While the events invoked both positive and negative emotions and thoughts depending on upon the equine's guard, rank, or such their was one guard member whose mind was enjoying his current moment.

The stallion was spending time with the cornflower maned mare that had been studiously training under the alicorn of the sun.

Said stallion and mare were just enjoying a day put on a red dress shirt and black slacks. In a city like Canterlot casual was the equivalent to formal in Ponyville.

"As always Uzumaki you manage to be easy on the eyes."

Naruto turned to the voice to see Trixie clad in a white open cardigan or a black thigh length backless mini dress with a white bow on the top portion of the dress showing off her cleavage.

Gorgeous seemed like an understatement in this situation. "Well, are you not going to compliment me?" she asked with a hint of haughtiness.

"Are you trying to seduce me Miss Lulamoon?" he asked as Trixie stood up and gave him a sultry look.

"It appears I must be more direct in my actions to indicate what I want." With each word of her statement Trixie sauntered over to him slowly with a wave of her hips until she was pushed against him.

"To be fair I had all sorts of mare flocking to me when I was young. At this point it might be a condition." Naruto felt the softness yet firmness of her chest pressing into his own. Naruto took the opportunity to rest his hand on her back as he felt her back dimples through her fur. Trixie let out a feminine giggle before nuzzling her face into his neck.

"Yes, its called being a stallion." she said as she traced her finger along his chin. "And while I would enjoy having you worship me in all my beauty and glory we must hurry if we wish to do all we want to do today." She said as she grabbed his hand and pulling him out of the room. Using her magic Trixie closed the door as they exited the room.

Past few chapters have been a bit of a struggle. Some of you should recognize the villain or two villains being used as well as other characters. I was going to introduce another character, but then I realize, nah they wouldn't work here so I'm holding that up for later.

Then I'm working on the Nyx thing at the same time. My choices were go back and redo the last few chapters or soldier on ahead. I chose the second one. Anyway next chapter is going to be a major refresher of the story from the beginning so if there is anything you miss or might not remember shit tight, the next is will refresh you of any points you might have forgotten.
