There were many enemies that the Royal Sister defeated, and they ranged from pony-like creatures of shadows to spirits of divine power. Many pages of history were forgotten through time, and who knows how many enemies were defeated during the reign of the Royal Sisters or even before?
One of such long-forgotten enemies was Nicholas the Vampire King. While vampires are usually associated with lunar pegasi, also known as bat ponies, it is not true. Not completely true, at the very least.
Real vampires have long since become a part of ancient folklore. No one has seen them in thousands of years. History became legends, legends became myths, and myths turned into bedtime stories that no one takes seriously anymore.
However... Vampires still live. It is a matter of time before they come back. With the return of their king, how will the history go?
The story takes places after the Luna Eclipsed episode.

Please continue I really enjoy this story and like the fact that you make it seem the ponydom does have its dark pasts of lies
this is awesome! and are the vampires speaking latin? so cool! i really like this story! favorite for you!
7240563
That is Romanian. Y'know, Transylvania, Dracula, Romania. Classical stuff.
The idea behind this story is interesting and it holds promise. However the grammatical issues are annoying, you should get someone to read over each chapter and fix any mistakes. I don't really know enough about where this story is going nor do I know enough about Nicholas to say whether or not I like it. But so far. Et prty gud...
7242540
oh...whoops lol sorry. sounds like latin to me.
Whoa, SG. This shit is awesome! Continue, please! And if you are stuck, you could hand it over to me... Or we could be co-authors? Your choice really. But please continue!
I thought vampires don't have reflections.
8877753
It varies from folklore to folklore, really. Link shows it well.
8878154
I suppose that's true. Your interpretation can he quite different as well. After all vampires and werewolves ext. are fantasies
But, isn't Nicholas a human name?
8913433
It definitely is in our world. Besides, Celestia and Luna are also human names. At least, the latter is and was used by us.
It was perhaps an ancient tradition to have names we consider human all those years ago when Nicholas was born.
Good story, keep it up Elu
Interesting...
Ned mor
I agree .
More. Please.
I was kinda expecting her to fall in the fountain of blood and consume the blood becoming the vampire queen. Is that to cliche?
8974790
No idea how cliche that is, but, well... I decided not to go with that route since it doesn't seem too logical to me.
Oh crap.
The King has returned...
This guy again....
Shit!
Daring, unless you want to be sucked dry, you’ll answer him!
Dammit Daring!
Exactly!
Well, looks like he has his standards....
Amazing chapter!
This was great chapter! Looks like Nicky is gonna get it on with Persica.
Goddammit Dash! Stay with the group!
Another amazing chapter! Please write more!
8991127
Already in process!
8995521
Sweet!
8995537
And posted now! In case you didn't see it.
Oh crap...Rainbow is a Vampire!
Uh-oh, its Nicholas!
Does Rainbow connect to Nicholas somehow?
Yeah, no way they're gonna keep up with that speed.
Just like with Luna....
They just need somepony to understand them that's all.
Oh boy, looks like Luna confronted one of her worst fears once again! Good thing she was able to get away and back to Celestia. I wonder what'll happen from here....

One of the quotes I have is this:

That one quote reflects my thoughts entirely. You gotta look underneath the underneath.
9131029
Well... and I made you wait
I'm in the process of writing the next chapter, thankfully! It's already a bit over 2k words. While my friend and I have been working on editing the existing chapters to make them better (which is the biggest reason for the delay, to be honest), I still managed to get some stuff done. So, I'll try to post a new chapter soon!
Now that is creepy....
Does it have to do with that purpose you believe Daring Do has Nicholas?
Dammit Dash, do you have a death wish or something?!
Correction: He'll get you drain you dry!
Another awesomely done chapter Elu! I also love the drawings that you did with Nicholas and the Moon that had Nightmare Moon's head pattern on it. You're a really talented artist!

Thanks, I'm doing my best
People say that vampire literature is oversaturated and bad, but I'm trying to make my stories worth reading. I think I'm succeeding so far. And I love doing music and drawing for stories! It's just a fun thing to do and it often makes the story better.
9231580
Well, I have a think for supernatural creatures and myths, which includes Vampires, so this is a story that I'd be interested in, especially since its MLP based. As for doing music and drawing to make the story better, you did a fine job with that!
Why your stories are so good?Especially "Starlit foal" and "Alicorn of Music".
9232770
I don't know.
Zebrica...that's the Equestrian version for Africa isn't it? Ooooh, I really want to see what its like!
Aside form, another very well done chapter! For a second there I though Cabelleron was done for! Glad to see that she decided to have him go free, with the magical supervision that Nicholas will have on him.
As for the cover art, it looks even more darker and spookier than ever!!!
9332682
Thank you!
9332706
No problem.
You cheeky bugger.
9332713
Are you sure you didn't mean "cheeky something waffle"?
9332729
More please
Yes they do.
Or you would've gotten drained.
Dash, if there's one thing you should know, is to never underestimate an opponent because of how they look.
Or kill you.
Well, she didn't see that he had one, but then again....
Yeah, Dash really needs to stop understating opponents they meet because of their appearance and how 'weak' they look.
Excellent idea Twilight.
So...Zebrica has a kingdom...interesting.
I'd be incredibly nervous.
Wait, QUEEN?! Oh wait a minute...never mind.
Well, she is a famous boom hero.
That'd be very bad if that happened.
Oooooo, I cannot wait to see this!
9359768
I can't wait to continue writing this as well!
I really like your comments, by the way. You are one of my favorite commenters, to be honest. I always love good comments about things that happen in the story!
9359776
Thanks, I tend to take quotes out and give out my thoughts on them.
It should be " only in life canst thou suffer" in the context it's at now it means they can't suffer in life
Are they speaking Romanian or something else like that?
9365970
Yep.
