Twilight has just become an alicorn, a ruling Princess of Equestria. For a brief time, all seems well. But when both the reality of her new station and a dark secret behind Equestria's history finally confront her in full force, Twilight is forced to make decisions that could change the face of the Kingdom and ponykind forever. Now, nothing will stand between her, her friends, and finding the truth, not even the Princesses themselves. Alicorn Twilight cover art by Esipode.

After a long time letting it lay dormant, I've decided to give this story a complete reboot. Much of the original plot will be kept largely intact, but the focus has changed completely from the alicorn immortality itself to Twilight discovering its true nature and the history behind it. The clunky old wording and dialogue is being updated and improved as well.

What's round, and deep, and really quite swell? The answer isn't very hard to tell, why it's the magical wishing well!

Do you dare to drop a shiny bit into its shadowy depths?

Warning: Story involves a super spooky well. Not recommended for those who have a fear of super spooky wells, confined spaces, or happen to draw their drinking water from super spooky wells.

What fun are superweapons without somebody behind the triggers to fire them?

Teen rating for some swearing, psychedelics/drugs, and weapons of mass destruction. When you insert the key, Mr. Warhead is not your friend, kiddies.

This story is a sequel to Meet Your Makers

For Princess Luna, the evening seems like it will be business as usual, at least until strange lights begin appearing in the darkening sky over Canterlot, amidst other odd goings-on. Unbeknownst to Equestria and the world at large, an ancient and mysterious culture the Earth has not seen in millenia has finally returned after much hijinks and exploration in the cosmos, curious as to what has become of their beloved ball of rock and its unique inhabitants in their long absence.

Now Luna's face to face with jovial hornless minotaurs clad in gear that belongs in an Equestrian sci-fi flick. Maybe Celestia's outlandish claims weren't so outlandish, after all.

Crossover tag due to certain overly obvious references.

Smiling, carefree parasprites now roam the gilded corridors of Canterlot Castle, and not a single pony can be found. Celestia and Luna have temporarily abandoned and quarantined the premises, staying elsewhere while they argue over the best method to go about removing the adorable trash that has infested their home. Unfortunately, parasprites are not the only intrusive thing that have now taken up a presence in the castle during the sisters' brief absence.

Inexplicably teleported in from the sheer amount of valuable possessions being left unguarded, the Norsemen have arrived.
