The Lunar Chalice, an ancient artifact created by the legions of Nightmare Moon, is an ancient cup that corrupts potions and their ingredients. Although it was presumed to have been lost when Princess Luna was banished, it has recently resurfaced in the collection of a wealthy griffon family.

Princess Luna has sent Techorse and his friends Midnight Blaze, Shadow Breeze, and Flaming Ivory to retrieve the chalice. While Techorse struggles to manage his team of recently-made friends, Midnight tries to cope with family issues and a voice in his head that just won't leave him be. To make matters worse, it seems there's another individual after the chalice, and what he intends to do with it may change the fate of Equestria.

Why oh why couldn't have Twilight and friends been available?

This story takes place in my Alternate Universe, set shortly after the beginning of Season 3. It is a project dedicated to my friends on this site, and features their OC's.

Midnight Blaze belongs to Wolven5
Shadow Breeze belongs to his owner.

A search for a mysterious energy reading leads a Commander to Equestria and reawakens some of his memories from a place he once called home, but his presence there is not welcomed by some of the nations.

So I'm apparently a horse, for obvious reasons. But at the same time, I've got both a human-level intelligence, and control over what this show calls "magic".

it's weird, but for now, the biggest thing on my mind is going home.

DANG KIDS, STOP CALLING ME SMURF HORSE.

This story is a sequel to Discovering Friendship

Sometimes there are just too many things someone wants in a story. To make it flow properly it has to follow a set idea and have consistency. These ideas very much lack that. Some are funny, some hit you in the feels, none of them line up with the story - at least not close enough to be a part of the main story.

What would happen if Sweetie Belle became a tyrannical giraffe hellbent on destroying all that was shorter than her?

How 'bout Equestria being ruled by literal potatoes?

Ever wanted to see an author clawing at his remaining shreds of sanity at two in the morning, trying to figure out what the actual heck he's writing?

Well, guess what? This is the story for ya! Enjoy the noises of short-circuiting brain cells. :)

Suggestions for chapters are open, but remember to leave space for others! Keep in mind that I decide whether or not to use idea suggestions, and if you want a crossover, or are asking something about the show itself, then check this big ol' Twilight-grade list first!
