Twilight Sparkle has hidden the hottest pepper she could find in Princess Celestia's cake.

This is a bad idea.

Traveling the world can be a strange and dangerous ordeal, especially when you're all but on your own.

And after one adventure ends in almost complete disaster, Twilight Sparkle has decided to take a much-needed vacation for both herself and her sole companion. Some time to themselves, some time to catch up on their reading, and some time to not almost be eaten by dragons. And fortunately, she's managed to come across a nice quiet little country town to settle her roots into for the foreseeable future.

Unfortunately, it's never quite that easy. Especially when your name is Twilight Sparkle, a pony with a knack for getting mixed up in all sorts of trouble. And the quiet little town she has found might not be so quiet after all...

An alternate universe story based on some G5 rumors, this really odd dream I had once, and a few other things. Expect references/shoutouts to all sorts of MLP media, such as the movie or comics, and various other fantasy works like D&D. But also expect some major instances of me changing things to further distinguish this from canon. Spike is a pretty good example. You'll figure out why soon enough.

Twilight tests a spell in a journal that once belonged to Starswirl and disappears. Upon returning she changed in more ways than her friends can imagine. Now Twilight must protect everyone with the knowledge and power she gained while away.

When Twilight starts blacking out and sees a figure cloaked in darkness she starts wondering who or what he is when she seeks help from Cadence she looses control and almost hurts her, with dark magic no less. Twilight doesn't dare go to Princess Celestia for help, Celestia wouldn't understand so she turns to the pony in her head. When she does, she sign's her soul to the King of Shadows, King Sombra. Her old enemy becomes her teacher and makes her do things to others she never even dreamed about. Twilight has gone off the deep end can her friends save her before it's to late?

The final Two episodes to the Canterlot Wedding really got me thinking, why? Her family, friends, and mentor abandoned her, and only Applejack tried apologizing. What if Twilight was able to save Cadence and not herself.

In this alternate universe, the Changeling invasion never occurs. As Twilight Sparkle falsely accuses her innocent future sister-in-law of being evil, those dearest to her begin to doubt her. She is thrown into despair, unknowing her life is about to take a dramatic turn.

This story is a sequel to Knowledge is Power

Three years have passed since Twilight Sparkle disappeared into Apochrypha, followed by her friends. Will Equestria have changed in their absence? Will Apochrypha have changed them?

An unknown future awaits, but whether it will be bright or dark is something known only to those who have the gall to claim they are a higher being, and even that might not be enough to foretell everything.

All the while, something from the distant past returns.

It should have been so simple, just make some friends, find the elements and beat the villain that tries to make the night last forever, then find out she's Celestia's actual sister and absolve her as they hug… Well, perhaps not simple per say, but expected.

So then why when they defeated Nightmare Moon did Luna ignore her sister Celestia? And why did she instead hugged Twilight as if she was happier to see her then her sister? Why was it Celestia who soon after groveled and begged Luna for forgiveness, rather then the other way around? And what's with this godmother thing?

For that matter, what else changed?

Betrayed, abandoned and shunned by her brother, friends, and teacher, Twilight takes her first step to the dark side of the force. In order to save her, the group of friends must join forces with the jedi to save her.
