Stratum makes the archaeological discovery of a lifetime.  However, Celestia is not the only ruler who wants it.  When the King of the Griffons tries to cover up an ancient secret with force, Equestria is threatened by war.

The Wonderbolts are called up to defend a critical rescue operation from griffon attacks.  Instantly overwhelmed, they hold open tryouts.  However, Rainbow Dash seems reluctant to seize this perfect opportunity.

What is it that is holding her back?  Only Fluttershy knows why her former classmate cannot seem to step up to her dreams.

Without Rainbow Dash, it seems as if all of Equestria will be lost.

Fluttershy has a problem with courage.  Even the simplest things are scary to her.  Eventually, even her own mind is fed up with this behavior.  After a new stallion comes to Ponyville for a visit, her mind decides to take charge and explain things to her in a way that only dreams can do.

When the Great and Powerful Trixie seems to be at the end of her life's journey, she is unwilling to let go.  An unusual shadow on a cave wall has a bargain for her.  He will teach her powerful magic that no other would dare teach to her.  In exchange, she must follow directions.

Princess Celestia arms Twilight Sparkle with a new spell to confront the new menace, but it is not enough.  The unicorn must look past her mistakes to face the one unicorn in all of Equestria that she fears most.  Will the steep price of redemption be worth paying?

Two brothers lived in Ponyville before the return of Nightmare Moon.  They both felt like outcasts in their own town.  Everypony would not understand their hobbies or natural inclinations, but they believed in themselves.

This is the story of how Stratum and Steele got their symbols as well as how they use their special talents to save all of Equestria.

The Great and Powerful Trixie is no longer so great or powerful.  In fact, she is destitute.  A chance meeting in Ponyville's restaurant gives Twilight Sparkle the urge to do right by her former rival.

However, Princess Celestia objects to Twilight taking an apprentice of her own.  How will Twilight fare in the large horseshoes of a teacher instead of just being a student?
