What is the greatest crime that someone can commit? I was told at a young age that it was murder. Stealing the life of another, nothing could be more horrible than that...

So why then would someone who has worked their entire life to nullify such tragedy be labeled as a monster. I have dedicated my very existence to making Equestria a better place, and for that I have been cast down, condemned, and vilified... So be it.

My work was meant to save this world from suffering and strife. But if its inhabitants would attack me for such, perhaps they are not worth saving. Perhaps I was wrong. Perhaps a bit more suffering is exactly what this world needs!

Knight Artorias was once a proud knight, renowned the world over for his heroic deeds done for the kingdom of Lordran. The people loved him, and he loved the people he defended.

His seemingly everlasting glory would end abruptly, however, when the neighboring kingdom of Oolacile called for his aid when Manus, lord of the abyss had begun to destroy Oolacile. Knight Artorias rushed to their aid, bringing along his battle-trained grey wolf, Sif, to help him fight Manus. They fought effortlessly through Manus' minions, having battled much more powerful foes in the past, and got to Manus swiftly, expecting this to be another quick fight.

He was very wrong.

Manus quickly overtook Artorias with the powers of the Abyss, and simply putting the wolf to sleep, seeing no threat from it. Thus, the great knight Artorias became the horror we know today:

Artorias the Abyss walker.

This is a crossover with Dark Souls. I don't own anything aside from the story itself, although I'm sure that was painfully obvious.

Luna discovers something hidden from Celestia for twenty years, now, with emotions running high, she enlists the help of the Mane 6... but what seemed to be a single mystery, soon reveals a darker and much more complicated plot that will soon decide the fate of Equestria.

"We live in what we believe is a shell, a closed sphere where all is constant. As physics would have it, nothing in the universe is unique, nothing is wasted or destroyed: it is repurposed. But now I prove them wrong. With a single idea, I realize that we are not so insignificant as we think. We are not slaves to destiny and existence. We are the ashes of gods, the fruits of eternity, the products of choice and fate. We are not meaningless. This universe is not our prison.

This is our empire."

This story takes place after "Secret of my Excess". After Spike causes a rampage in Ponyville and is turned to normal, there's one gift that Spike realized he forgot to open.

Title Card is not mine.

The storm is breaking on the Horizon.

It's been two months since the battle against Nightmare Moon. Luna is recovering, Celestia is busy turning the government back into a diarchy, and the Mane Six have returned to their lives. All seems well, but when Celestia discovers that half of the power of the Elements of Harmony have been transferred to each of the Bearers, she decides to send thirteen mysterious members of the Royal Guard to monitor them as they manifest and develop their new abilities.

The sins of a forgotten war still linger, and an ancient evil lurks in the shadows, just waiting for the right time to strike. The Mane Six suddenly find themselves once again at the heart of a conspiracy to bring about Eternal Night, and only by awakening their powers and realizing their full potential can they do anything to stop it. Friends both old and new will help them along the way, and an unseen force will guide them as it seeks to right a wrong made thousands of years ago. The Bearer's journeys will take them outside the borders of Equestria and into the world beyond, and when they return, they'll have the power and experience necessary to save the world and bring about balance in all things.
