You'd think that being trapped in stone would mean that, if nothing else, I could get some peace and quiet. Unfortunately, it seems that Celestia has other ideas.

She has appointed these ponies... these 'Keepers', as she calls them, to keep me entertained during my incarceration.

Honestly? I'd prefer the boredom.

While on her way home from a day with her friends, Apple Bloom runs into Twilight on a trip to Zecora's hut. After insisting to join her, little Apple Bloom gets lost in the woods after chasing a mysterious mare hiding amongst the poison joak. She stumbles upon a town completely isolated within the Ever Free Forest, but something about this town just doesn't feel right...

Things aren't going well for Twilight. Celestia seems to be upset with her, things are starting to make less sense, and she keeps seeing that face in the mirror.

Late on Nightmare Night, after the rest of Ponyville has gone to bed, Pinkie Pie descends into the dark and silent basement of Carousel Boutique. She’s determined to make things better with Rarity after a friendship-splintering fight, but there might not be a solution for the troubles she finds once inside the house. Didn’t anypony tell her it’s not safe to venture out alone at night?

Fluttershy has seen her share of tribulations and tragedies in her time taking care of animals. She realized that the thing she hated the most was to see them suffer; especially when there was no guarantee that they would recover from an ailment. Fluttershy knew the kindest act she could ever do would be to release those animals… and ponies, from their misery. She would be their Angel of Mercy.

This story is a sequel to Chrysalis's Revenge

The following story contains heavily sensitive content that may disturb some readers! Proceed at your own risk! THE SUICIDE TAG IS NOT THERE JUST FOR SHOW!

Three weeks after being forced into a sinister game of revenge, arranged by Queen Chrysalis, Twilight returns to confront Chrysalis one last time, only to learn that her along with her friends were not the first round of victims.

The game was never over.

Before anybody asks, yes, this is very heavily inspired by the "Saw" movie franchise. I just felt that the original story needed more of a story, so here's my attempt at adding more to the story. This takes place after the events of season 6!
Dramatic reading: Chrysalis's Revenge: End Game [MLP Grimdark Reading]

It's game night and Twilight spends her time playing a game of Scrabble with the only other pony who will indulge her.
