Twilight finds an ancient book in an abandoned catacomb at Hollow Shades. Upon discovering its secrets, she unleashes an ancient horror on Equestria. But as bad as that is, the poor Alicorn has bigger problems to contend with. Just what dark plans does the dreaded Nyarlathotep have in store for her?

the tree of harmony gets sick and is dying, but unable to tell the main six and the pillars what to do about it, she takes matters into her own branches and takes DNA samples to make some one to take her place, this is that filly's story.

Six thousand years, That's how long I have been living in this god forsaken world filled with dragons, shapeshifters, and monsters. In that time I have found love and heartache aplenty. Heck I even got hit by a magical rainbow death beam and survived. No seriously They actually weaponized rainbows on this world.

You know what the most irritating thing about all of this? I could have avoided it all if I had just read the warning message that popped up in my game. But that is the past now I find myself making a living as a mercenary protecting villages against bandits. But with war looming on the horizon I find that I have to choose a side or end up with enemies on all sides.

Warning: This is a humanized Equestria populated with Fire Emblem races.

Remake in progress as of 1/23/18. Will put new chapters as they are edited.

Long ago in the Magical Land of Ponies I wound up being struck there by buying something from a con. I shouldn't have done that at all. Now I'm the reploid known only as X.

While stuck in a past filled with strange little ponies I'm forced to deal with a strange chimera with a propensity for mind control, several miscommunications, denizens of a shadowy realm of evil and trying desperately to keep the lack of a heart beat from driving me insane due to a disconnect of my humanity and the robotic body I now possess. I hope to whatever god that lives here that I survive longer than a week.

Due to circumstances that are too long-winded and boring to go into detail about, Sunset and pals discovered that their world had a version of the Pillars as well! It's been over a year since they were released from their time prison, but most have been able to get on with their lives without too much difficulty.

That is, except for Rockhoof. He just doesn't seem to have a place in this new scary world.

So he asks Sunset to kill him.

Sunset complies.

(Based on today's episode, A Rockhoof and a Hard Place)

Starswirl the Bearded had always been curious, but when he conducts experiments with light, studying both the sun and the moon, he learns there is something more there than just two heavenly bodies. There is something on the moon, and the sun is causing something to happen to Equestria. He must tread carefully as he performs his research, because does anypony want to offend something as dangerous as the sun?

Stygian's side of the story was never told. He was never called Stygian. He was called a monster.

It's getting harder to escape his shadow.

Meanwhile, an aging mordigan is stuck without an heir, or even a loved one. His searching brings himself to a new land, one from legends.

This story was partially inspired by DisneyFanatic2356's story Precious Blood, a true masterpiece and by far my favorite DisneyFanatic story.

Part of the HoE storyline.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, FEATURED 8/4/22 at the expense of only a few remaining brain cells!
Additional tags include sad, trauma, horror, and drama. Also, some may consider it self-harm, but not in the physical sense, so that won't be added.

Hell yeah, Featured again on 7/8/23! This is incredible! Thank you all so much for an amazing repeat of history!

"What will happen once we are all gone? Will the future know who we were or will we be forgotten and erased from history?"

Having recently saved Equestria from the most powerful enemies it had ever seen, a victory bought with the strongest fighters of the kingdom, Twilight can't stop thinking about these questions and what the answers might be.
After several sleepless nights and still without any answers on the questions that plague her mind, Twilight decides that the ponies and creatures of Equestria have to take historical matters into their own hooves and claws.
No one knows what the future will bring, but what if they would bring themselves to the future?
The friendships of Equestria are worth fighting for and they are worthy of being preserved. Ponies and creatures die and make room for new generations, but ideas, experiences and stories live forever.
All she needed to do was to ensure that Equestria's future generations can learn about their friendships and what made them special. And Twilight had just the plan for that.

A love letter to all the ponies and creatures of Equestria and to the show, comics and books that gave me the chance to learn who I truly am.
We don't know what the future holds, but as long as we don't forget and don't stop to care about the ponies and creatures we've met, the friendships forged in Equestria will never leave us.

Final Popular Stories update: "A Letter to the Ponies of the Future and Equestria's New Generations" was in the Popular Stories section on the front page for a total of 15 Hours and 28 Minutes! Again, thank you to everyone who made that possible!

A rip in space has opened in the skies above the Everfree, and something powerful has fallen through. The entire forest has been petrified by unknown magic, and the entity responsible—only seen by a few—now appears to be hiding within its garden of dead trees and monstrous statues.

With the town of Ponyville put on lockdown, and concerns of an escaped prisoner from Tartarus worrying the surrounding lands, the Elements of Harmony now rally with the Pillars of Equestria to locate and quell these threats. Little do they know they are not the only ones scouring the woods for the source of this deadly, foreign magic.

Faced with certain peril, the heroes of Equestria must save their land by stopping a match made in Tartarus: the villain, Tirek, who seeks to drain all Equestria of magic, and this avian threat, which holds the power to drain life from anything organic.

* Cover art by Jowybean!

* AU timeline where Tirek's return from Tartarus did not happen until after Starlight's redemption and the return of Equestria's Pillars. Twilight's role/castle was born from her success in reforming Stygian and reinstating Equestria's lost champions.

* Rated T for cartoon violence, mildly disturbing imagery, and allusions to death. Yveltal's powers translate to petrification rather than instant death, using the 17th Pokemon movie and relevant anime episodes as canon references.
