Twilight Sparkle and her friends attend a celebration hosted by Princess Celestia. During the celebration, a dragon attacks and tragedy strikes. Feeling responsible for the attack, Twilight goes into exile.

As Twilight goes self-exile, Discord, the Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony, and the Changeling Queen Chrysalis have formed an alliance to end and bring an everlasting chaos in the lands of Equestria. During the process, Discord has made a deal that would divide Twilight from her friends forever.

Now, it is up to the rest of the Mane 6, including Spike, to find Twilight and rekindle their fractured friendship, if they wish to restore the Elements of Harmony once again and save the land they love.

She is the last. All her kin are gone. They'd either been blown apart by the Friendship spell so many ages ago or, in the case of her sister, changed their diet from hate to love. Cryoxia is the last of the windigos, but she is determined to be different, to never go back to those days ever again.

She'll make friendship from hate. She'll adopt an alicorn foal as her sister. She'll take physical form and learn how to move the celestial orbs with her mind. Celestial... has a nice ring to it. And she'll ally with the other nations in the world, establish friendship and preach harmony, no matter how they may diminish her food source. She'll make a world so wonderful that it will starve her to death.

Or die trying.

Review by PaulAsaran

An Evil Lord learns of a forbidden spell that will destroy the world. Naturally, he intends to cast it.

No problem! Princesses Celestia and Luna will just send Twilight Sparkle to go stop him. That usually does the trick. There's only one catch:

There are only thirty seconds left to stop him before the spell is completed.

Inspired by Half Minute Hero

There were many beings that Celestia and Luna had defeated in their lifetime. Their names were recorded in the pages of history and remembered through books and legends. There was one being, however, that the sisters made sure that no one would remember.

The one foe they truly feared among all. Sealed deep within Everfree Forest where no pony would dare to go, they hope that he would never rise again.

Unfortunately for them, a Doctor's work is never done because there are always patients that need help.

Edit 5/2/14: Only a day since it's been posted but I can't believe that it's already on the featured list. I thank all of you for making it possible, even my haters! No longer a LoHAV story. This is the REAL Law!

On Hiatus due to bad math grades and grounding. Expect update near end of the month.

Welcome everybody, my name's Markiplier and this is a short story about one of the worst days of my life. I had to spend twenty-four hours in a world of multicolored ponies and try to survive this chaotic world within the allotted time. Fans, they are many, they are awesome, but sometimes... they're not from our lovely little rock called,"Earth."

I hope you'll enjoy this, but should you find something unsatisfactory about it, well... there's a lot more interesting stories you could be reading. Have a good one.

Keep it cool, Condemned.

This story is a sequel to Upheaval: Breaking Point

Following the events of Breaking Point, Twilight Sparkle and her friends discover that Equestria's demise may not come from an enemy invasion, but from within. The Barrier Lands and the Heartland begin the slow and uneasy process of reuniting into a single Equestria, but this long-delayed joining is already in danger at its conception.

With Celestia's power in her grasp and her agents by her side, the wheels of Black Rose's plans for Equestria's future continue to turn. However, her brazen gamble has done more than just bring down a centuries-old barrier. Ancient powers begin to stir: the remnants of a dark period in Equestria's history, the immortal inhabitants of Celestia's homeworld, and a rising tide of darkness coming ever closer.

Equestria is a land of magic and harmony, a peaceful realm ruled by immortal and benevolent monarchs. At what cost is this possible?

Following the discovery of a strange and powerful device, Twilight Sparkle is whisked away to the edges of a land she thought she knew so well. Here, surrounded by ponies whose very existences have been kept secret, she must contend with vicious enemies, hostile allies, and the truth.
