Once upon a time over a thousand years ago, two sisters controlled the pony occupied kingdom of Equestria. To keep harmony throughout the land, the eldest was in charge of the daytime. Everyone morning, she would rise to the sky with the morning sun and shine her light amongst her subjects while her youngest sister rose with the evening moon. However, while the subjects praises and basked in the glory of the eldest sister, the younger sister’s night was left ignored and forgotten. Angered with jealously, she turned against her sister and attempted to dethrone her. Understanding that she needed an army, she looked to an interesting choice; the humans and anthros who had occupied Equestria. Because they lived far from the normal ponies and were considered social outcasts and were discriminated and shunned by the general populace, they agreed to fight for the youngest princess. There was a short, but great war between the two sisters and their armies and when the eldest won using the Elements of Harmony, she banished her sister to the moon and the humans and anthros were left to the mercy of the ponies. Their leaders tried to negotiate a peace, but the ponies would have none of it and they convinced the eldest that they should face the same punishment as the youngest princess. The eldest then exiled the humans and the anthros to a long forgotten continent on the other side of the word; the continent of Carthage. For a thousand years, the people of Carthage lived in complete misery and suffering as Carthage was ravaged by chaos and violence driven even further by a seemingly never ended succession of madman, kings, and tyrants. Little did the ponies know that banishing man and furry kind, they left humanity with a burning desire to vengeance and retribution. And little did they soon realize that Carthage would rise again….

Spike wakes up on the side of an unfamiliar road, with only a confusing memory of the night before and a very unspecific note in his hand. Following the road, he finds himself in the town of Dragonsville, a rural town in the direct center of the country of Serpentia, land of love, tolerance, and harmony. Upon entering the town, he comes face-to-face with the most confusing group of dragons he's ever met: Pinkie Pie, the baker; Rainbow Dash, the stunt flyer; Applejack, the farmer; Rarity, the designer; Fluttershy, the animal enthusiast; Twilight Sparkle, the librarian; and Spike, the #1 assistant, who also happens to be a unicorn, a species most rare in this land.

And so begin the most incredible two weeks of Spike's life...

My name’s Marcus. Marcus Cortez. I’m currently a freshman at CUFTA. You don’t know what that means? Well, it stands for “Canterlot University for the Arts.” While it is a little unsettling to go to college in a completely different world from my own, and while being a human in a school full of mostly ponies is a little intimidating, I’m doing fine so far. I don’t have to worry about roommates, since I don’t live in a dorm. I live with my aunt.

Her name is Celestia. Princess Celestia.

You’re probably wondering how a human could be the nephew of a pony, and an alicorn princess, no less. Well, it’s quite the story.

In case you haven't guessed yet this is an anthro story, and my first time writing a story in first person, so we'll see how this goes.

The prologue for this story starts sixteen years prior to the return of Nightmare Moon and the story's main events take place after Season 3 ends.

Twilight had reached her peak, she was at the happiest point in her young life. The day of her coronation as Equestria's newest princess had finally arrived. Then the unthinkable happened, Sombra appears in the throne room alive and well demanding his chance to be reformed by pony society. The unthinkable happens again, when his wish is granted, spearheaded by none other than Princess Twilight herself. Will Sombra's nefarious plans bring her to ruin, or will she succeed against all odds? Only time can tell as it reminds them both that plans have a way of changing all on their own.

Twilight finds herself struggling without a clear path in front of her as a princess. In a bout of panic, she seeks out her mentor, Princess Celestia, in the hopes of gaining answers, only to find herself with some much more distressing questions.

With a decidedly unexpected guest making herself comfortable in Canterlot Castle, it quickly becomes evident that her mentor has been keeping some interesting company over the years. Twilight quickly begins to realize just how much things are going to change for her. She's practically immortal. Which, apparently, means she's going to be spending a lot of time with beings a lot less mature than they first seemed.

(First Story-Woot. Likely to be broken down into three parts.)

In the times of Princess Platinum's rule, there was much uncertainty. Political squabble with the earth ponies and pegasus, rumor of dangerous black magic, and crimes against the crown even in the Marble City. Certain crimes were seen to be egregious but not punishable by death, but still quite severe. Mass theft, disloyalty, medical instability, and attempted murder to name a few. While these crimes were in need of punishment, funding kept the Platinum rule from keeping a large prison and they needed to be sent somewhere. So, the Princess started The Colony: a place for criminals to be sent to die. It kept the blood off the royalty's hooves, the gold in the Princess's pocket, and the public happy to see these criminals gone.
When Midnight Star is faced with the sentence of joining The Colony, she finds that not all things are as simple as they seem and that everything has a price.

Diamond Tiara has been in, what could generously be called, a rivalry with Applebloom for sometime now. Now she's crossed the line once too often, forcing Filthy Rich to take drastic action. Can she become a better pony and make new friends?

Far from home, she now must go through the rigors of Junior Guard Cadet Summer Camp, sleeping in the dirt and dealing with all manner of ponies that have no idea of just how great she is. How could she possibly make friends with this lot? And what's this about Diamond Tiara being anything less than perfect?

(Second Story. Takes place in the Timeskip between Chapters 2 and 3 of Advanced Lessons. Don't necessarily need to read it to enjoy this story though. Enjoy.) -Featured: 6/17/2014-
