The Mane Six celebrate in harmony of Hearth's Warming Eve, in The Golden Oaks Library. As they decorate the tree, bake cookies, and lounge around the fireplace, they relax.

Merry Christmas!

Twilight drinks coffee that Shining Armor gave to her. Cadence disapproves of this.

Twilight Sparkle creates a potion but finds out that she and her friends switched minds! Let's see how this works out...

Lieutenant Eli Silver was on a simple mission. He and his fellow teammates would check out an anomaly that had already claimed three teams of Marines in the past. What he didn't expect was a whole new world to open up before him, one that he knows and loves but doesn't know how to cope in.

In Equestria, the griffons declared war five years after the defeat of King Sombra. Now the battle's still rage on. Princess Celestia is gone, leaving Luna and Cadence alone. The Elements of Harmony have disappeared as well leaving the once peaceful population to cope and adapt to survive and fight in a bloody struggle. Will an unexpected help that literally fell out of nowhere save their lives, or will they lose to the crushing force of the griffons?

Note: This is my first HiE story, and while I have said before I dislike HiE stories, after reading several of them I decided to give it a go. So here it is, a bloody war story. I hope you all enjoy.

Although Chrysalis had no doubt that her plan was going to work she had to sure that, if her plan were to fail, that her race would survive. But her plan failed, utterly and completely failed. She had thought that her plan was fool proof but one mere child had managed to derail her plans in one fell swoop. Oh how the queen wanted her revenge and oh she was going to get it. She reveled in the irony of the situation for the pony that had sentenced her and all her children to a slow, painful death in the bad lands would also be the savior of her race. So as the Queen released her final breath she was content in her final revenge.
