Picture is of human Sparkler, though there are no humans in this fic. It serves only for artistic license

Now that the Equestrian Hunger Games have begun, Sparkler thought that she was prepared for the worst. Oh, how wrong she was. Eventhough she has her newfound ability to control any weapon she desires and has a resistance to flames, that ability as well as all her magic was stripped away at the last second.

Without her magic and powers, Sparkler must rely on her own natural skills and her ragtag group of friends if she is to survive. But as the days grow shorter, how will she make sure that they all survive if only one of them could win?

Nightmare Moon, the tyrant of the night, has escaped from her lunar banishment thirty years too early. Without the Elements of Harmony to stop her, she starts to take control of Equestria with an iron hoof. Now, she wishes to see a new form of entertainment for all ponies to suffer through just for entertainment.

Each year, two ponies between the ages of ten and sixteen from each of the twelve districts must be chosen to participate in the annual Equestrian Hunger Games on live television, and everypony must watch them.

This is a story of Amethyst "Sparkler" Star, who takes her sister Dinky's place in the Games. In this thrilling beginning to a multi-arc story, Sparkler must first overcome her own rowdy and rough attitude, all the while trying to prepare for the upcoming games she will soon have to face through. Will she gain the attention of everypony to increase her survival rate, or will she end up dead?

This story will have its own twists and turns, some of them you would not expect. Happy reading, and may the odds be ever in your favour.

They say that love is the most powerful force in the world. Rainbow Dash is about to fully understand just what it truly did mean.

After all the adventures they have gone through, Fluttershy is finally found to be having a fatal illness. As her condition worsens, Rainbow Dash starts to question about their friendship. Were they only friends, or were they more than that? Maybe the answer to that question will finally surface in time, if Fluttershy has enough, that is.

But even if Fluttershy were to be gone forever, they still have each other in memory, right? Read on, and let the answer unfold before you.

On the show, we only get to see what happens through the Mane Cast's perspective. However, what about the background and secondary characters? Don't they get their shine in the spotlight as well? Well, now they do! Watch (or read) as scenes from the hit TV show is played in a whole different perspective as they are seen, through another's eyes.
