If you’re reading this it’s because I ain’t around to keep it hidden. I’m sorry you found this, I’m sorry for a whole heap of things. I’m sorry I didn’t get my cutie mark a year ago with Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. I’m sorry I still ain’t gotten it. I’m sorry I’ve been underhoof. I’m sorry I’ve been so contrary. Mostly I’m just sorry for being me. I tried to be good and fit in with everypony else, I even tried to be patient but I guess y’all didn’t see much of that.
I can’t do it anymore. Whatever patience I did have has been used up and I’m just so damn fed up with being a worthless blank flank. Don’t y’all be crying over me I ain’t worth it, never was.

After a buried Sumerian city is uncovered, three ponies, Daring Do, Lyra, and Diamond Tiara, find themselves in the land of ancient Greece. Getting back home is not an easy task, as the locals, these humans, have never even seen Equestrians, let alone real magic. With no way to return to Equestria, these three will spend their time along the Mediterranean, attempting to find a way.

It's been six years since the Great Changeling War. Now, with the Elements of Harmony having been presumably killed defeating Chrysalis, Princess Twilight Sparkle has become the lone ruler of Equestria, and has run out of hope. But with knowledge that one of the Elements might still be alive, Twilight will stop at nothing to find her.

However, there are ancient forces at work in the universe. A Primordial Prophecy has come into play, and the Planes of Existence are falling apart. As Twilight searches for her lost friend, the universe begins to fall apart. With little hope, and even less of an idea of how to stop it, she must find a way to save not only the world... but everything that ever existed.

Clover the Clever was one of the greatest spellcasters of all time, only falling short of her teacher, Star Swirl. No pony could match her spell for spell but he.

Her friends are departed. Private Pansy is in the far south, exploring new territories. Chancellor Puddinghead and Smart Cookie are far too busy with diplomacy to ever speak to her. Commander Hurricane has flown far to the north to chase the Nimbus Ring. Her last company is her oldest friend, Platinum.

Now she's alone.

Platinum vanished without a trace right front of her, immensely powerful magical energy nearly burning her senses. Something has taken the Once-Princess, but unlike Hurricane, she has no need to travel far into the outer reaches of the world to find what she seeks.

No, for Clover and Star Swirl, the culprit lies far closer to home.

Lastly, if you dislike my story, kindly leave a comment telling me exactly why. Every bit helps, and I aim to please.

Tirek. Discord. The Changelings.

The ponies have faced all these threats, and triumphed, but things could have been handled better. Princess Celestia knows this better than most. She knows that to face threats even greater than Tirek, greater than Discord, the ponies need allies. They need friends to turn to when the chips are down and the mad gods and cruel tyrants are on the horizon

She and Princess Twilight Sparkle travel to the Griffon Kingdom to meet the Griffon King. They seek to negotiate a formal treaty, something more than a rudimentary "You stay in your yard, we'll stay in ours." If the Changelings invade, or Tirek is once more a threat, it will not only be the ponies standing against them, but the griffons as well. It's only logical, after all. The griffons and the ponies share a border. They share ideas. They share refugees and concepts and cultures. And there haven’t been any major hostilities since the Pony-Griffon War. That was almost a thousand years ago.

It is logical to enter an alliance, but politics aren’t always about logic. Sometimes they are about past crimes, mistakes, and tragedies. Sometimes, past grudges simply can't be let go.

They can help you if you let them.
Sometimes I don't want their help.

A boy goes to his favorite place in Verona to be alone. But thanks to the magic of friendship, he's far from alone.

There are scientific facts that are proven time and again through simple observation. Gravity. The earth's orbit and rotation. Water freezes when it gets cold. Science fails in the face of magic. Somehow, a pony ends up in my closet. Now I have to deal with two things, finding a job and keeping this pony out of trouble.
