A newborn alicorn has a discussion with a mysterious bipedal figure regarding the nature of history and the mystery behind her own creation.

Six unlikely friends meet at the first Summer Sun Celebration, and naturally hijinks ensue. But a forgone conclusion creeps ever closer, and time is not on their side. How can they keep their friendship from shattering? Why are they destined to bear the Elements of Harmony? Who are the strange ponies so determined to make them fail? And under what bizarre circumstances will the world be saved next?

Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. While Equestria has been a land of peace and harmony for much of its history, it has also seen its fair share of battles.

This anthology of past battles aims to give the reader an unbiased view and historic perspective of some of the most pivotal moments in Equestrian military history as well as a view into the minds of the most brilliant and eccentric commanders of their time.

These are their stories.

As the Saying goes: "There is nothing new under the sun". But what if the sun was linked to an immortal goddess? She has witnessed the rise and fall of civilizations, and the life and death of ponies around her.

But what would happen if something from outside the continuum were to upset the cycle? What happens when the wheel of time becomes derailed?
