Five years ago, the Free States seceded. Five years ago, the Princesses were taken captive. Five years ago, Equestria embarked on a bloody war that would cost hundreds of thousands of lives.

For five years, Rainbow Dash has fought to save her friends. For five years, the sun and moon have hung overhead, motionless. For five years, Rainbow has lived in that wan glow, while every day kills her a little bit more. The peace and happiness of her youth are but faded memories, and now she hardly recognizes the town she once called home. A hardened mare, Rainbow knows only pain and suffering...

...until one day, a reminder of what life used to be like lands at her hooves, and gives her something to live for once more.

Shining Armor is forced to look after Canterlot for a week while the princesses are out on a diplomatic mission. The week is uneventful until Discord and some of his fellow trickster gods throw a party. Now Shining Armor has to break it up before it gets out of control and engulfs the entire city in chaos.

After years of shame and ridicule, archaeologist and explorer Lyra Heartstrings stumbles across a discovery that validates all her theories and ideas in one fell swoop. Along with her best friend, Bon Bon, and her old classmate Cadance, they find themselves faced with a mystery and marvel that may change everything.

Following the next greatest lead found in the database of an ancient race, another international team is formed. Led by Doctors Carter and Jackson, they strike out to explore another network of Stargates discovered in a galaxy on the edge of the local cluster. In the process, their findings will cause them to question much of what they thought they knew.

The adventures continue and unlikely allies will face dangers new and old as the Legacy of the Ancients continue to unravel in the latest chapter of the universe.

Now with a Russian reading by SviMik

Time. Time has no meaning, at least for Gummy the alligator. It has lost all sense of purpose and and appeal like everything else before it. Still, if there is one thing he enjoys after all this "time." is watching and listening, even if that too is becoming as stale as last weeks bread. A day in the life of a small baby alligator.

I have absolutely no idea what I just wrote!

Seven ponies board a train departing from Canterlot: three guards, a young couple, and a thief. Things would've been a lot simpler if the previous statement contained an error.

It doesn't.

The defeat of all of Equestria's evils has finally brought the pony world into a time of peace and friendship. But, in the deepest pit of Tartarus, an ancient being is awakened. Can the Mane 6, with the help of Starlight Glimmer and Spike, defeat an evil older than Princess Celestia herself, or will they all just become a part of his sinister scheme?

Commander Hurricane was known for his stubbornness in all of the tribes. He always wanted to be in control of as many things as possible, and there were absolutely no exceptions. When Chancellor Pudding Head and Princess Platinum finally see the error of their ways and propose to combine the tribes into one nation, Commander Hurricane decides that he won't be cooperative with the others and flies off with Private Pansy. Before they could completely disappear, Princess Platinum, outraged by the ignorant leader, had cursed the whole pegasus race for revenge.

Centuries have passed, and everyone that has been born after the founding of Equestria had been told that Pegasi were just myths; they weren't real! Just a silly old tale told to frighten children!

Or so they thought. One trip into the Everfree Forest will change many people's minds.

Edit 4/4/16: These chapters are very short, but keep in mind I wrote this a long time ago, back when I was experimenting with chapter length. Anyway, proceed with reading.

"Twilight, I'm glad that you handled Prince Rutherford's declaration of war without violence, but he should have never been given the chance to make that threat."

Rarity doesn't understand what she did to deserve this. Yes, she has messed up before. Everypony has. And no, she isn't perfect. Nopony is, after all. Even so, she hasn't done anything to deserve something as horrible as this. "Why must you all torture me so? I haven't told my friends about you, just as I promised! I promise I'll do whatever you want! Just..just leave me be! Please!"
