Warning: The following is not only unedited, but it contains mentioning of foal abuse, freak shows, and a dark interpretation of the childhood of Celestia and Luna.

Come one! Come all mares and gentlecolts! Have you ever wondered about why you've never heard of Princess Celestia and Luna's childhood? Do you know how they came to Equestria, and how a young Starswril the Bearded saved them from an abusive, sadistic and the most shocking circus in history? Well, come this way! We have for you a secret chapter from the memoir of that wizard himself. One in which Celestia had banned from publication.

So why would the Princess do that? Come right in, if you want to find out.

Author's note: This is both an interesting experiment in style and something I wanted to contribute for the occasion of the month of Halloween. I do hope that you would enjoy what I have.

Also the picture is a real painting that I did several months ago.

On the way home from a stressful day for dinner on a rainy night, Fancy Pants and Fleur de Lis were riding in a cab when suddenly as they were passing the poorer part of Canterlot, someone threw a painting out of frustration into a garbage can below. Curious, the unicorn got out of the cab and pulled it out of the rain to find an painting done with impressive skill. As time goes by, his curiosity about the artist who paint it lead him to a stallion down on both himself and his luck by the name of Acrylic Brush.

A huge thank you to Isk for helping me proofread this story. And to Milo Chalks for finishing the last remaining chapters.

Three things I need to point out. The first is that this story is currently unedited. If you are interested in editing, please PM me so we can talk.

The second is that while this story takes place in the universe of Mr. Disc, and taken place a year after "The Curiosity of Mr. Disc," this is not part of the Mr. Disc series. In fact, Julius Disc is actually a side character.

And the third thing that you need to know is that this story does contain both F/F shipping (Lyra x Bon Bon) as well as M/M shipping (Soarin x Braeburn).

To sum it up, if you don't like one or a combination of these, you know where the exit button is.

Taken place about a year after the events that unfolded in "The Curiosity of Mr. Disc," a new teacher arrives at CHS. A Violinist returns teaching after the death of his spouse. In the coming year, he will get to know four of his students where he will help them with their musical abilities while they help come to terms with his grief.

A special thank you to His Majesty PrinceCelestia for the cover art.

Everything that the King of the Crystal Empire has at last come true. All his enemies have been defeated, all nations have been conquered, governments overthrown, revolutions silenced, traitors executed, and all of Equinity is now in slavery.

Just as Emperor Sombra had dreamed of.

Yet, on that night of triumph where he becomes the very king of the world, a voice broke out into mad laughter. Curious, the Emperor has him arrested and brought to question as to why would he dare laugh at him.

Warning: The following story is currently unedited.

For the first time in eighty years since the death of Mrs. Harriet, the abandoned mansion is being explored by a small crew of filmmakers, set to make a documentary of their exhibition. The huge mansion, sat alone miles from the nearest town in the middle of winter, has been the muse of many haunted house stories in Equestria, but never once has anyone been granted permission to go inside... until now.

Director Oatberg, historian and writer Lost Scroll and narrator Iris Lens are set to explore the mansion, but get lost within the maze of hallways, rooms, and forgotten sections. Hearing and experience things that they can’t explain, they begin to wonder if there was some truth in the legend of this haunting place.

This story is a gift to my good friend and fellow writer: Milo_Chalks and his coltfriend.

Inspired by the history and historical setting of the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, California.

Reel Projection has disappeared. Nopony has any clue as to where he went or how he vanished. However, one thing is for certain is that he did leave a nearly seven-page note behind. In it, he described a lost, banned film from the silent film era.

A special thanks to LeylaQuartz for proofreading this.
