This story is a sequel to Stories in Stone, Luna's Royal Guard.

The face of Equestria has changed dramatically. The Lunar Republic emerged from the War of Night victorious over the forces of Equestria and the rest of the world.

That was a thousand years ago. The impact of this darkened past had great consequences on the future.
With Nightmare Moon and the Five Beasts ruling over this new world, what impact would it have on the stories we all know, and the ponies that inhabit Equestria?

Twilight Sparkle grew up and lives in this world with all its flaws. Though she has known nothing else, perhaps there is a way she can still save it.

Sometimes, choosing love is not the right decision.

Stories in Stone alternate reality fic.
Reading SiS: Luna's Royal Guard is not really needed for this story to make sense as it will be a stand alone that explains itself, though reading the first book will help in understanding some things. Including who most of these extra ponies are.

I have to be in a certain frame of mind to write this fic, so the updates are.... varied. This is also a far cry from my newest works.

As always with my work Sex tag has to be clicked for a number of scenes, but there is no out right clop, mostly just implied, suggested and hinted at.

This story is a sequel to Stories in Stone, Memories of Twilight

Haunted by nightmares that no one can explain a young filly sets out on an adventure to hopefully find out the dreams meaning and her purpose.

Along the way secrets of her family will be revealed, bonds of friendship will be forged anew... and perhaps she'll finally get a dang cutie mark!!

Holy crap, finally featured at 8:41 on OCT,11,2014, 9:36 Dec-31-20014

In the time just after the exodus of ponykind from the frozen north to the new land known as Equestria. A young mare sets out to make her fortune and takes the first steps into a future she never dreamed of.

This is a prequel to my Stories in Stone fics. You don't have to read the others to understand this one, but i hope you check them out anyway.

This story is a sequel to Stories in Stone, Luna's Royal Guard.

The Canterlot Royal Gardens: a complex prison housing some of the greatest threats Equestria has ever known, sealed in stone. But what happens when something goes wrong, and some of these threats are freed?
Twilight Sparkle and her friends are again called to defend Equestria from an attack that the Royal Sisters are unable, or too afraid, to deal with. But can six ponies raised in a time of peace be any match for creatures who knew nothing but war and conflict?
Perhaps the only hope Equestria may have lies in another set of the gardens residents: the Five Beasts of the Moon, Nightmare Moon's generals, the very ponies who helped her nearly destroy Equestria a thousand years ago.

[This is a direct sequel. Please read,

Twilight discovers the true purpose for the Canterlot Royal gardens, much to Princess Celestia's annoyance. Knowing her student will seek answers with or without her permission, the Princess gives Twilight a new subject to study, the story of five of the garden's occupants, their connection to Nightmare Moon, and the dark days of the War of Night.

Warning: Comments are encouraged, but spoilers are present in the comments.

Fic is currently undergoing a very slow revision. Revised chapters will have a (R) in the title.
I've also added chapter numbers for a bit more ease of navigation. Mostly on my part.
This is a project that I will slowly be working on Bringing my first major story up to snuff. I shall also be fixing plot holes and clearing up some issues that certain parts have that may contradict the lore later on.
This will only be worked on sporadically unfortunately as I need to be in certain mind sets to do this.

Original story was posted in 2011.

WOOOT featured on Jan 5th 2015 at 2:47 am, 4 years after it's initial publishing!

This story will be about a War shaking Equestria at its roots, The Changlings are on the rise, and Luna, claiming her sisters rule was unjust, demanded retribution! Celestia obviously did not agree to this, and told her sister to be still or face banishment. Luna ran away and began the Rebel movement "New Lunar Republic" or NLR, claiming that they are the Tide of real peace, and will bring it with force if need be. Stuck in the mixst of all this, our 6 main ponies find themselves On different sides and with different views as who they all support. What will happen if they face each other? none of them know... But there all sure they'll find out soon enough. and who started all this? and what is the point?

Ponies are unique amongst the sentient races in that their souls are equally comprised of light and dark. All the other races have a gravitation towards one or the other, but only the three pony races hold the two in complete balance. It was for this reason that Celestia and Luna came to be in the first place, as the Fates decreed that keeping an entire race on such a narrow path was too great a task for one entity.

Ever since her return from her banishment, Princess Luna has felt something wrong with her subjects. The ponies of Equestria are lively and joyous, their eyes bright and happy as they bask in the light, but one thousand years of light has disturbed the balance of their souls. Now, Luna must take drastic measures to restore it before it destroys her beloved subjects.

Inspired by the poem 'Come Little Children' by Edgar Allen Poe and the video 'Children of the Night' by Spiritto and Lionheart.

After Nightmare Moon was purged from Luna's body, it left her completely and utterly weak. Struggling to perform even the most basic of spells, she has been spending a lot of time in her quarters trying to regain her strength, but recently she's been dealing with horrifying nightmares that assuage her night after night, each worst than the last.

After a particularly bad nightmare, Luna starts to lose hold of what is real and what is fake, and it is up to her caring and loving sister to help her through her ordeal.

Sweet Apple Acres houses plenty of non-pony residents, but it's not like ponies eat bacon or lamb chops. What are they doing there? And how do they see their own situation? Are they, in fact, a free love hippie community, or is the truth more sinister than anypony knows?

Written in response to a rather off-beat discussion starting on a Lunaverse thread, but generic enough to count as maneverse as well.
