After failing to stop Nightmare Moon in the ancient castle of the pony sisters, Twilight Sparkle is left with a scar that will permanently change the rest of her natural born life. As Twilight recovers from her ordeal, she finds that she is left with a difficult choice. Either live her life as a lie or sacrifice her innocence to protect the ones she loves. The path before her is set and she must now walk it alone. The sands of time continues ever onward, with everyone already trapped in its muddy depths. The sun will rise and the sun will fall. Waiting for its call, Death awaits for all.

I just put the two together

An ancient civilization vanishes without a trace. Who were they? What were they? Why did they disappear? Celestia's oldest friend sends her a letter that shocks her to the core and Twilight Sparkle is sent on a journey that will test the limits of endurance as she races against time to fulfill a plan thousands of years in the making.

From high mountain peaks to icy tundra plains. From jungles and forests to deserts without end. Will they make it through the endless stream of challenges? Will they defeat this menace from ages past? What will be the price of victory?

Part of the Equestria's Crazies Universe

After being defeated by the Elements of harmony Discord is given an offer he truly cannot refuse.
Or maybe he can I'm not really sure he's Discord.

{Oldness Warning} I haven't actually edited a single chapter (Other than format) Since Dec 21, 2011. There is no proper English only Zuul.

Story Cover I believe was done by Scallywag

Derpy Hooves is a normal Pegasus, living in a small house with her daughter, Dinky and her room mate, Carrot Top. One day, her life gets flipped upside down after she witnesses her daughter getting caught in a serious accident.

A strange yet convincing creature comes to Twilight in her dreams, seeking to twist her mind and ideals against the Princess.
Under the creature's influence, what will become of her and what will be of the future of Equestria?

This is my first attempt at fan-fiction ever, so any kind of feedback is greatly apreciated, especially when it comes to grammar, since I speak Portuguese.

When everypony's family member comes in for Family Appreciation Day at school, Scootaloo builds up jealousy towards her friends. Not knowing where she came from, who her parents are or if she has any siblings, the Cutie Mark Crusaders head out across Equestria in a search to find where Scootaloo belongs.

Finding herself with wings and unusually powerful magic, Twilight Sparkle proceeds to have breakdown after breakdown, until with the help of her friends, she confronts Celestia and Luna about it... And learns that she's a far more important little pony than she ever imagined - for all the wrong reasons.

Thanks, man!

This is the story of the end. This is the story of the death of Equestria. It is the story of the reign of her royal majesty, Princess Twilight Sparkle of the Fading Sun.

The alicorn sisters are dead and Equestria has turned to Twilight Sparkle to guide it. However, just maintaining a dim sun a fraction as bright as her mentor's keeps the new princess near her limits.

Years have passed and Twilight Sparkle is sure of only one thing. Equestria is dying.

NOTE: Written before "It's about Time" in season 2. Everything after "Read it and Weep" was ignored throughout this story.

When Rainbow Dash finds herself lost in a new and unfamiliar village, she reaches out to a certain lavender-hued stranger for help. But to Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash is no stranger; at least until she notice her strange new voice, a lack of wings, and a fondness of the word ‘darling’. Intrigued by the uncanny looks to one of her best friends, she decides to lend the newcomer a helping hoof, but things go from weird to weirder when Pinkie Pie happily announces that she too has met her lookalike. Twilight Sparkle and her friends take it upon themselves to find out the truth behind this mystery: who are these doppelgangers? Could there really be another Ponyville out there? And what does it all have to do with Discord’s lost legacy?
