Darkness festers in Equestria. With the Princesses away on the frontlines of a bitter war for the past several decades, corruption and barbarity has dug its claws into Equestria's heart. And it's not just ponies responsible for the darkness...

Vinyl Scratch loves the limelight. Her goals in life have always been to work hard and party hard. Certainly not have anything to do with the growing darkness in Equestria's soul. But when her best friend is brutally savaged, she must step back into the darkness of her old life in order to save her friend's soul. And perhaps, what's left of her own.

( Hello everyone, this is Cody! This particular story is my own work, with some toss ins by Taelea. I love the supernatural, and this brand of Equestria is heavily influenced by 19th century horror, and the World of Darkness series. It will be... dark. )
