Princess Celestia wanders the lunar landscape, alone, trapped by an unknown magic. She follows a set of hoofprints that are not her own, which lead her towards the dark side of the moon.

What she discovers there may be more than she can handle.

A 30-Day Challenge story, with a new chapter guaranteed once a day, every day, for a full month. Inspired, in part, by Austraeoh.

There are an infinite amount of worlds held within the multi-verse. For every situation since the beginning of time, new possibilities diverge from every different choice or scenario. And considering all the shenanigans in Equestria, no doubt all there a multitude of ways things could have played out. Some of them maybe dark, others may be bright, but all of the situations presented are what could’ve happened to the fair ponies of Equestria. So sit back, relax, and prepare yourself to see Equestria how it was never meant to be!

Average Statistic leads an exceedingly normal life. Every day, he wakes up, goes to work, works, goes back home and falls asleep, with the expectation that everything will be the same when he wakes up the next morning.

At this point in most stories, something horrible would happen, something only the main character, in this case Average Statistic, could solve, prompting an adventurous quest to save the world.

But not this story.  In this story, nothing exciting happens, no problems need solving and there is no world-ending conflict.

Just the average day of an average pony in the nation of Equestria.

"The first time I beheld my King was amidst the shops and parks of the Crystal Empire, beneath a cerulean firmament. From the uppermost spire of the Crystal Palace he descended, taking each megalithic tier in a single stride, until his final step cracked wide the world itself. "

Took a break from my main fanfiction. Decided to take what was originally a crappy villain and give him a darker and more lovecraftian bent in a prose. Heavily inspired by Lovecraft and Lovecraftian Authors.

Special thanks to Mbulsht, Abladeinthenight, Pominator, MDGusty, and Cytwex for going over it before I published it.

It's been said before that robots dream of electronic sheep, of course this is assuming that robots, indeed, dream at all. What if robots don't dream? What if sleeping for them is just a blank expanse? The real question is what do robots do in those precious seconds between the blackness of powerlessness and the slow plodding along of living interactions. What will Sweetie Bot think about during today's reboot?

"And how are we today, Miss Octavia?"

Her light purple eyes jerked up from the carpet they had been absorbed in to regard the unicorn that had posed the question. Her name, Octavia knew, was Pink Plasters. Her coat was a pale pink, with a cutie mark depicting two plasters crossed over each other to form an X. The white mane and tail complemented her coat perfectly, in Octavia's opinion.

"Fine," she muttered lightly, "perfectly fine." Octavia was always fine.

As fine as a pony stuck in Healing Hooves Psychiatric Hospital can be, anyway.

Trixie was ran out of Ponyville, and there began her great fall from grace.

When she became the laughing stock of all Equestria and lived in fear of cruel ponies, she couldn't imagine how life could get any worse.

When she first arrived at the Pie's rock farm, she was a self-hating cynic without a bit or friend to her name.

But, when she left that fateful farm, she did so knowing that, no matter what, she was the luckiest mare alive.

Even though it never got easier for Trixie, what happened on that rock farm stayed in her heart forever.
