"The Darkness. A blight upon the galaxy. Always will the threat it poses exist. But, it is our duty to stand up against this tidal force. Our duty to defend the innocent and purge every threat. We may not be able to stop it..... but we can give it pause. Each and every one of you, Hunters, Warlocks, Titans, Guardians all, have the strength to fight back now more than ever. The Traveler now heals thanks to the efforts of heroes like yourselves. Now we must begin to push the darkness back. Lights behind the veil still flicker with life. Untouched by the Traveler's Light they may be but they may still hold innocent lives that must be protected from the Darkness. The Traveler works through US now. Let us do our duty to protect what remains, and halt the tide of evil before the fate of our Golden Age Solar System befalls others. We have risen from the ashes. Now we must unleash the cleansing flame." The Speaker finishes his speech. Soon the cheers of Guardians all around the Tower echo throughout the air, heard as far as the Last City below.

What will happen to Soft Touch as he digs deep into the unknown world of ancient magic, the magic of the gods.

This story will (hopefully) be reader fueled. I have tried writing things before but always got stuck. It is because I have the world built, but not the story to go with said world. The prologue is written and I'd like to see where this will lead to.

Maybe a friend could change that...

After saving Cadence from the Changelings, Twilight was thrown into another world where she is human. She marries a human and has a daughter named Aurora.

Twelve years passed and the portal to Equestria opens again.

However, Twilight is kidnapped by the fabled Glizani Court and Aurora is alone.

Now under the care of the Bearers of the Elements of Harmony, can Aurora adjust to her new life and new body while waiting for her mother's return? And will those who were present at the wedding rehearsal twelve years ago overcome their guilt for Twilight?

This story was inspired by the concept of Survivor's Guilt after playing American McGee's Alice.

The Equestrian Empire has spanned far and wide into neighbouring star systems. It was an exciting prospect to venture out into the stars and reap the riches of countless untapped planets. Hopeful settlers branches out from the core worlds, seeking a new existence on an alien planet the fringes of civilisation. Ten years, they say to themselves, ten years and a garden-world could be terraformed. But the War took its toll and the settlers can no longer expect help from the outside. They need hard resources—and fast—or lives could be lost. This is the story about the settlers on Nocturne. This is the story of how they captured a comet.

The only solution seems to be to collect a new batch of the platters, but can it be done in such a short time? Barron Skyes thinks so. Barron Skyes could do it in half the time.
And he might just have to.
