Mad. That's what they call me. They say I'm an ill minded stallion. Why? Just because I wanted a little reprive from some inane babble? Ha! I'm not mad, and I can prove it. Please sit and allow me to tell you my side of the story. You'll understand.

A great evil has awoken in Equestria and not even the Elements of Harmony are a match for what is to come. Eragon will learn secrets that has long been forgotten and some new friends will be made along the way.

The world is a much different place than it was a thousand years ago. Pegasi played a huge role in the world and way of life around the country, as well as formed of the most popular past times. Unicorns were still as noble and deceiving as ever depending on their up bringing, but the amount of scholars in there midst have dwindled alarmingly. And Earth Ponies....they were no longer dirt on the hooves of those higher than them. They were nobles, busniess ponies, preformers, or critically acclaimed engineers that helped run today's transportation.

Being intrested in the Earth Pony's rise from poverty and into an equal light, Luna removes herself from duty temporarly and places herself in the care the one of the most trustworthy earth ponies she knows for the length of a year to help her learn the ways of the earth pony to help better understand them.

One Shot story. For real this time.

An AC-130 appears and unleashes hell on some changelings, varying from 25mm to 105mm! What else did you expect? A rainbow beam would wipe them out? HA. Sit back, shut up, and read it.

It's damn AC-130, why would you not?

The Re-Made chapter takes a more serious tone to the situation. Whether you think it was an improvement to the first is upon you to decide.

Something terrible has happened to you.

Now completed! (Comments may contain unmarked spoilers.)

A decade after Princess Celestia dies and names Twilight Sparkle her successor, Equestria splits along racial and partisan lines. Equestria's cities have declared independence and are at war.

The conflict engulfs Ponyville. Teenage Pound and Pumpkin Cake team up, using their talents of flight and magic to protect their loved ones. But the twins later join polar opposite factions of the war, and now their rivalry risks plunging all of Equestria into ruin...
