Tales in Stone is a compilation of short stories from the Stories in Stone universe. This is a open collection and any one who wishes to write a short story in the SiS verse is more than welcome to do so.

Primarily I would like the stories will focus on the backgrounds behind one of the countless statues in the Canterlot Royal Gardens. While primarily considered a prison, this has not always been the case and the Garden could contain nearly anything.

That is not to say it is required that a submitted story be about the Garden. Other figures in the SiS verse could be written for this.

I will be adding short stories of my own from time to time as well. Things that fit into the SiS continuity , but do not have a place in the series itself. This seems to be what goes here the most.

This is a compilation of a rather long story that starts with Stories in Stone, Luna's Royal Guard, and continues in SiS, Memories of Twilight, and SiS, Lost Empire.

Please have a look at the first two at least before checking this collection out as you may become a bit lost with some of the content.

Throughout all of time, the species known as the vampire fruit bat has been ridiculed and put down as an ugly farmer's pest, or a rodent, or a piece of vermin that needed to be destroyed. Never have they been treated fairly, with kindness, and so never have they felt included, which eventually led to their downward spiral as a species in general. The fruit bats themselves believed they were never meant to be anything but rodents that ate fruit. It was just how life worked, and life wasn't fair.

However, when one group of vampire fruit bats is brainwashed to deny the reason they believe they exist, what will they do next? Is it possible they could become a civilized species as opposed to a mindless group of fruit-eating pests? And what - or who - could possibly help them achieve this goal?

Shortly after becoming a teenager, Scootaloo undergoes a startling transformation. Her life spirals out of control as unanswered questions about her past resurface.

There isn't much to be said about the Royal Guard. They serve and protect their country and their Princesses. And Captain Shining Armor couldn't be prouder of them.

But when their competence is called into question, what does he have to say then?

When Sombra, ex-ruler of the Crystal Empire, is discovered alive and well, Twilight has her hooves full keeping the tyrannical king in check. Instead of the original plan of throwing him in a dungeon or banishing him to Tartarus, Celestia decides to go with the plan that worked out well enough for Discord.

To reform Sombra.

Pinkie takes the job, and gets right to work in helping Sombra become a better pony. Will Sombra finally change from his old, wicked ways and reform? Or will he instead strangle the annoying, pink menace known as Pinkie Pie?

Spikes dragon friend drops into town one day to hang out with him, but when his brash attitude starts conflicting with the other ponies will he be sticking around?

This story is a sequel to Past Sins

Side-story to Past Sins - Spike almost lost Twilight to a hangmare's noose, but now Twilight is safe and Nyx is a filly again. Normal life is returning. Still, Spike can't ignore the fact that Nyx just isn't the same as he remembers her. Her temper is more volatile, and, when she gets angry, all he can see is the rage-driven Nightmare Moon of legend.

And thus Spike has to wonder: Is Nyx truly reformed, or is she one bad tantrum away from calling herself Nightmare Moon again?

During the Discordian Era, Chaos ran free, allowing many monsters to establish solid footholds. Footholds that were lost when Celestia and Luna cast down Discord and took his place as the rulers of Equestria. Now, many thousands of years later, the Elements of Harmony, the very same tools that struck down Discord, belong to six individual ponies. Six vulnerable ponies. An ancient draconic vampire begins his campaign of revenge, uncaring of who is caught up within it. His first target? The Element of Magic, student of Princess Celestia, Twilight Sparkle.
