Princess Celestia is the loving ruler of the peaceful land of Equestria, along with her dear younger sister, Princess Luna.

But, a long time ago, few ponies even knew that Princess Luna had existed. It was just Princess Celestia, way back then, and nopony thought anything of it, until one of her students slowly put the pieces together and wrote down her findings.

Now, nearly six hundred years later, Twilight Sparkle finds the diary of that one faithful student who saw past the Princess's facade and taught her teacher a lesson, herself.

CMC are in their late teens.

Special thanks to Twilight_is_the_BEST for laying the groundwork of this story.

The events in this story are considered canonical for Darkest Darkness, but neither story is required to be read in order to understand the other.

This story takes place and was written before the events of Season 5, Episode 18.

Life has changed for the Cutie Mark Crusaders. After graduating high school without their cutie marks, the CMC are finally free of Diamond Tiara and Silverspoon. Without school holding them back, they are free to pursue their cutie marks to the ends of the earth.

And when Sweetie Belle finds a mysterious ring that shows a magical map, to the ends of the earth is exactly where they might be headed.

Love.

Love is the foundation of life; the purpose for our existance.

While we toil away our minds and bodies to the harsh realities of life, or heart stays strong with love.

Love for our mothers, our fathers, our sisters, and brothers. Love for those whom return it, and love for those who aren't even aware of the gift.

Love for those we have lost, for those who still stand with us, and love for those who have yet to even stand.

A beings life can easily be determined by how much they love. Believe me, I know.

After all, isn't it fitting for a Changeling to be unable to feel what is so generously given to every other creature?

Dreams. Goals. Aspirations.

Many ponies had these, and Trixie did, too. But Trixie will never reach her goals or live her dreams... Trixie doesn't even know why she keeps trying...

((The idea from this story was taken from chapter 12 of Gravitys Rainboom fantastic story: MIA. I've talked with the author, and he allowed me to write this story, since I feel as though it will be somewhat similar.))

They say that Spartans never die; that they're only missing in action. But can that really be true if you don't feel alive? If the very purpose of your existence is suddenly taken from you?

Noble Six detonated the rigged slip-space drive on the Covenant corvette as Jorge-052 simply floated back down to Reach, gripping her dogtags tightly.

To Reach, Jorge, and the UNSC, Spartan-B312 is gone; whether it be KIA or MIA.

But to Equestria, Noble Six is anything but dead...

There's a certain holiday that ponies like tuh celebrate every year.

They celebrate it tuh give thanks back tuh the one who stood by 'em in the rain and held 'em up when they felt weak.

Some ponies like tuh take the other out tuh eat, or jus' tuh talk.

Us Apples?

Well, we jus' like tuh ignore it.

Every MLP-FIM episode rewritten where magic exists, but technology is used more commonly. Teen for language.

Twilight Sparkle is Celestia's top student- although only because her father works for the Royal Intelligence Agency. She could really care less about being pushed into the spotlight, but when Princess Celestia sends Twilight to Ponyville in an attempt to get her to make some friends and break away from technology... Well, like with any story, things don't always go as planned.

THIS STORY IS NO LONGER BEING WORKED ON. THE IDEA IS UP FOR GRABS; PLEASE CHECK MY USER PAGE FOR MORE INFORMATION.

Humanity has had the urge to learn and understand since the dawn of their species as Homo Sapiens. From the first telescopes and the study of the stars by sailors, to the colonization of new worlds, Human beings have pursued the unquenchable thirst for knowledge in all of its forms, no matter what the cost.

Now, in the year 4025, long after Humanity began expanding their reach into the deep expanse of space, a new world is found that defies all laws of physics and reality...

We are Forerunners; guardians of all that exists. The roots of the galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms... And the impervious shelter beneath which it has prospered. I stand before you, offering a chance at new life, with your new form, to become the sole bearer of our Mantle in a world where we have shied away to keep pure from any possible corruption.

What would happen if the Elements of Harmony didn’t work on Discord? What would happen if Discord had won, turning the wielders of the Elements of Harmony into stone and hiding them away for three thousand years? And what if a curious Pegasus pony discovered the legend of the lost mares and set out to rid the world of the Lord of Chaos?
