Everypony knows the Hearth’s Warming Eve tale of tribal unity and the shared rule which followed. Everypony also knows that alicorns - singular or dual - have sat on Equestria’s throne for well over a thousand years.

Very few have really looked in to what actually happened between those points.

Even Twilight Sparkle, until a chance encounter leads her to an alarming discovery: Neither she, nor any other alicorn, has actually held any legal right to Equestria’s throne. They are technically usurpers, autocrats - even tyrants.

Still struggling with her own personal rule, having the fundamental basis for her authority swept from beneath her leaves Twilight with one simple, yet impossible question: 

Now what?

Queen Chrysalis gets freed from her marble prison only to get greeted by Princess Cadence, who hopes to redeem her.

This story is a sequel to Chrysalis' Revenge

A month after the defeat of Sombra and Chrysalis, after Cadence and Twilight's children were born, trouble arouses across the Great Ocean in the powerful Temnokt Empire, homeland of Fukkuteru and magic-wielding black dragons. Celestia sends Twilight and her friends and family to the Temnokt's' capital of Kruscrow, in hopes of signing a peace treaty with the Temnokt.

However, Twilight Sparkle becomes the target of a Temnokt who wishes to overthrow the Temnokt King, but to do so needs to feed on a powerful Unicorn's magic, and obtain the elements of Harmony, to achieve his goal.

Meanwhile, as the ponies attempt to earn the Temnokt's' trust, Stormfly struggles with his growing affections towards Screwball, and Discord becomes jealous of his daughter being so close to the Changeling, and a stallion from Cadence's past returns to her life to attempt and win back her love... whether she wants it or not.

Due to a misunderstanding with a fellow artist in deviantart (since her species was also called Kuros) I'm changing the species' name to Temnokt to avoid any further misunderstandings.

This story is a sequel to Spa and Order

Alicorns get sick in weird ways. It's enough to put a stallion off his love-themed holiday, something young Lt. Shining Armor of the Household Regiments is about to find out.
