While on a nice walk, a mother zebra tells her daughter about the world around them.

Zubri, as the clan's next shaman needs to learn as much as possible so their knowledge will not be forgotten; this includes a visit to a desolate area of land where their gods reside.

(My interpretation of Vdrake77's Idol Hooves during the Canterlot wedding)

*Edits for the first two chapters kindly provided by Airy Words!

Idol Hooves is the only changeling in the entire Equestrian Guard, and has been proudly serving for over a decade (while disguised). His enlistment buddy and friend, Shining Armor, the current Captain of the Guard, is finally taking the next step to officially becoming Princess Cadence' s personal guard, 24/7.

With most guards being reassigned to the wedding, Idol (by Luna's demand) is given the temporary assignment to be Princess Luna's personal gaurd due to a shortage in the Night Gaurds numbers.

Now, after another all-nighter looking for potential threats and with Idol's persistence, Luna finally agrees and turns in for the day. With Idol Hooves being the sole guard watching Luna's door, a promise was made that could ruin Eqauestria.

Princess Luna will get her well deserved rest, and nothing short of Princess Celestia herself will wake the deathly tired princess.

This story is a sequel to Mother

More has happened to the nation of Equestria within a few short years than its entire history combined, but in the end the nation pulled through.

It's during one of these quieter days the ruling princesses are greeted to a surprise visit by their mother..and her new mate!

Hank is a run of the mill cattle dog doing what normal cowdogs do when he isn't patrolling deadly pastures, fighting off a whole pack cannibal coyotes, laying down ranch law, dealing with a lazy assistant and the list goes on.

As Head of Ranch Security, his daily routine was a tried and true schedule personally tested by Hank himself. So when he wakes up in the middle of the desert his first instincts is to use the sun and his good old nose to get him home. What he finds instead isn't the ranch or Slim's house, but a town chalk full of confused horses thinking they're people!

Hank needs to get back home before Pete the cat installs a dictatorship or the coyotes invade but first it looks like this cowdog has to lay down the law and restore order to these adorably colorful horses.

Originally this was to be my entry into the EQD Most dangerous Contest with my prompt being Past Sins. However, the more I typed, the more I realized not only did it not follow the rules, but it started evolving into something different for me.

Celestia is a living goddess and savior of the Equestrian ponies. A being of immense power and bravery no creature has yet matched; power even her sister could never hope to achieve. Their story has always been told as the coming of age tale, two little fillies rising up to overthrow the chaos that plagued their home. Later it was learned the tree of harmony gave the sisters their strength to finally stop Discord, but even Luna admits they waited a bit before confronting the beast.

Luna waited near the tree, while Celestia left in search for the one place even the lord the of chaos refuses to mess with. The one place with enough fire and deamons for a creature of legend to call home away from home.

(Story rewrite incoming in the near feature.)

Victoria is hanging out at a convention for a game she knows next to nothing about, only there to enjoy the time being spent with her best friends. While there she's given a small blue ring from a vendor, pokes fun of some cosplayers, eats a lot and over all enjoys the atmosphere the convention as to offer.

It's only when she wakes up as a bird the size of a small falcon with no memory as to how and where she is, does Victoria break down and begins crying for help. Her cries are answered in the form of a young phoenix named Philomena.

(Story Theme)

Story concept (human enters Equestria from a magical artifact) is inspired by the Humans Acting Villainous group

This story takes place after the season 3 intro.

Having just finished her evening duties, Twilight heads to the dining hall for her customary meal with Celestia and Luna; tonight they're joined by one special guest.

NOTE: This was just a concept I had in mind and simply wrote it. There is no grand planning or hidden message in it, just a need and want to create something out of the ordinary.

Princess Luna was sealed into the moon, by her sister's own hoof.

An act that left Princess Celestia weakened and on what feels like the verge of death. She hated it. Not the feeling of helplessness but that she was forced to treat her own sister as a threat and banish her from the world forever. Her sister, the one and only pony she allowed herself to be close to and ruled with together; the same one that she had shared the burden with of defending their kingdom and subjects.

Now she is alone and forced carry the weight of their world upon her frail shoulders. She wanted somepony to hate and blame for everything bad that had befallen them and their subjects and what pony... or wolf better than the one that had raised them when they were but fillies?

The very same wolf that must of brain washed them and forced them to take up its mantel... the same wolf that use to howl them to sleep on scary nights, or would stand guard all night to scare the monsters away?

The very same wolf that both had once called father.

Thanks to some sound business practices and some well invested bribes, bit monger and CEO of C.E. Gem & Steam "Princess" Cadance runs her multi-million bit empire from the comfort and privately owned Crystal City. Life as never been better for the young CEO but some bad ponies from the "Workers Fair Treatment" or WTF committee are once again trying to ruin her fun.

How will Cadance stand firm against against this evil committee and the rising number of ponies wanting more than one break?

More importantly how much is this going to cost?
