Celestia was away for a few years and came back to a world in ruins. Death, destruction, chaos, the endless fighting—it was like Harmony had never existed. Things were worse than ever. So I stopped it. And I did it my way this time. No more negotiating. No more promises. No more second chances. And I did it alone. Because I had to.

And it worked.

Starlight Glimmer's attempts to stop the Rainboom pulled Twilight Sparkle into many possible timestreams.

In one, Rarity and Rainbow Dash survived Nightmare Moon's victory over the forces of light, eventually attaining positions of prominence and comfort in the Nightmare's service. But when the unexpected visit of an Alicorn and Dragon sheds light on a growing conspiracy against the wicked mistress of the night, Rarity and Rainbow Dash may yet be inspired to risk what they have gained to join the fight for a better world.

Yet darkness lingers even in the hearts of some who would oppose the Nightmare, and not all agree on what a better world would look like...

Prince Blueblood is sent to Ponyville for the day, and just can't get over his hoity-toity attitude, even when the rain starts to pour down and he's seeking shelter. Only a certain Earth Pony is willing to offer him protection from the storm, and maybe, just maybe, it'll get the Prince to start seeing Earth Ponies in a different way.

Princess Luna reveals a truth to Spike that a dragon's nature wholly pertains to greed and coveting shiny objects. Never have dragons been known to be caring and/or yielding albeit at only one time in the past. Rarity's giving personality presents itself in many ways by unconditionally helping friends. However, there comes a time when an important decision needs to be made. This decision is better known as the ultimate act of generosity—giving away one's self. Luna has made it clear that Spike's intended relationship is detrimental to Rarity's future. Will (or should) he let her go?

Only Generosity's true nature will dictate the outcome.

Lyrics in the story are from Megaphoric's song, The Diamond because the song is awesome and contains one of THE most powerful messages about greed, envy, and generosity!
