1.) Who's Nyx?

2.) In the comics, which each individual decides for themselves whether it's canon or not, Nightmare Moon was said to be the queen of shadowy ghosts called Nightmare Forces, lead by Shadowfright who his subjects call Larry. They told her how to make ponies fear her. Luna thought they'd die with Nightmare Moon but they instead went to the moon and returned in the cycle of the new moon. Larry turns Rarity into Nightmare Rarity to be their new queen and give them a kingdom of their own.

They never elaborated on where the Nightmare Forces came from. Some think Nightmare Moon created them, some think they're the outside force that created Nightmare Moon. Or they could have just met up with Nightmare Moon after her transformation and made some sort of deal with her.
