Hither I am, fiend. Doth thou find nay pleasure in mine return? Did thou not miss me f'r those thousand years?
I could nev'r hast doubt'd it.
Thou heart is ev'r as cold and bitter as thy fleering tongue. O sister, what a daw thou wast and art.

After the first return of Princess Luna from her thousand year imprisonment, she was soon sent back into isolation by her sister after her heart again became cold. Before she was sent back, the darkened Princess gathered all the power she could muster. It was not enough, however, to hold back the elements from the Tree of Harmony as they pressed all their power upon her in a final flourish before their glow dimming and finally their turn to stone.
The Dark One was gone for another thousand years, but Equestria had never been so at risk.
Without the power of the Tree of Harmony, Ponyville and every other town in the land was overcome by the power within the Everfree forest by the end of five hundred years. Ponies were wiped out to a quarter of the previous population of the country. Canterlot served as a final fortress for the remainder of the ponies that had survived due to a spell cast many millennia ago by the royals before Celestia and Luna's reign. This served as a permanent barrier from the forces of the Everfree and made the city safe, but a lack of food struck the population and the number of living ponies halved within a hundred years.
Now, Canterlot's population is around 50,000. The problems of famine have stopped, but now a new issue has reared its grinning face towards Equestria at the end of the thousand year banishment.
Celestia was found dead when the moon eclipsed the sun. Her sister stood over her body, her coat dark as night and decorated by armour and her cutie mark of a moon. Like a galaxy, her mane flowed behind her head. There was no blood, only shadow. So remained in Equestria.

You are now a member of Nightmare Moon's new Lunar Empire. You are treated as a slave as punishment for all those years that you slept during her beautiful night. Batponies, being the only species she trusts, serve as her guards. The new Queen, as she prefers to be titled, initially drove back the Everfree forest but has now used her strong magic to control it. She wields it as a weapon, using it for prison cells where she keeps traitors and any who will not comply with her demands.
Everypony suffers in this new Empire. Some have their opinions on Luna which are, as a whole, negative over positive. These are rarely expressed as all are bound to respect and honour their Queen by law.
However, recently in one of the small farming villages, a flower grew with a bud that glowed like the sun. The bud grew and grew in size then exploded in a flourish of white that spread across the land. Some ponies were struck by this light and were drawn to the Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters, where a wonder awaits them all.
