It's been five weeks since the Dazzlings' defeat. So much had changed between them and the Rainbooms after Princess Twilight left for Equestria. They had managed to forgive and forget. They're all friends now.

But perfect moments don't last.

A new portal opens up at the base of the Wondercolt statue, just opposite the portal to Equestria. A girl comes through--and she bears semblance to Flash Sentry. She introduces herself as Flare Warden, and asks the nine for help. Finding it difficult to explain the entire situation, Flare decides to show them instead.

Only then do the girls realize the grim future Flare's world has ahead of her… if they cannot help her set things right.

(A/N: Since I'm debating myself on whether or not to cancel Time to Go Wild and The New Lunar Colony is on a long hiatus, I've decided to start a new story. No, actually, dared into it, but don't ask. I've got an awful case of writer's block, so please forgive me if some parts seems rushed or sloppy.

But I think this story will actually go along pretty well.

This is a tale inspired by the animation "Children of the Night" by Duo Cartoonist via YouTube and by how the author had first interpreted the video. Nightmare Moon and Princess Luna's banishment are not canon in this story.

Ever since Discord was defeated and turned to stone, the two brave Princess sisters, Celestia and Luna have ruled Equestria. And they have been working on rebuilding Equestria to its natural state with all their might. But one thing had caught Luna's eye and had escaped Celestia's notice: how certain children were treated and leading miserable lives.

Somehow managing a negotiation with her sister, Luna gathers the children and leads them to a far off land, still within the bounds of Equestria. When they settle, Princess Luna promises the foals and new, prosperous colony which will ensure the strength and happiness of ponykind. And what can go wrong with that? Lots more than expected. Can Princess Luna safely protect her Children of the Night?

It has been long since Twilight Sparkle had gone and come to retrieve her rightful crown from Sunset Shimmer. Trixie moves into Twilight's library, hoping to learn plenty of magic tricks and earn her former rival's forgiveness. Fluttershy also drops in from time to time, to encourage the once-corrupted unicorn. One day, Trixie and Twilight, while performing a spell that they were trying to show off to Fluttershy, made a small mistake that soon led to big trouble.

Trixie and Fluttershy, who are definitely not those who would enjoy adventure and danger, end up getting whisked to a place they would most likely not enjoy. They also has to put up with another pony they happen to meet there. The three ponies travel together, and everything seems fairly good. . . until Fluttershy's and Trixie's companion gets kidnapped by one of her old enemies. Will the timid pegasus and the confidence-losing unicorn be able to discover their true strengths in time? Or will their companion be slain, and will they remain trapped where they are?
