One day, Equestria stopped being in one piece, and started being in a million pieces. Enough of them are big enough that nobody needs to think further than the edge of their own little rock.
Key Stone can't think that way. He spends all his time staring at the sky and buried in books, waiting for the faintest hint that life is out there.
And then it arrives.
Okay so basically, don't expect regular updates on this from me. I'm used to writing rushed, and with this I want to give each chapter some real TLC before it goes out and see what happens. Also I'm super busy. Cover image by me. Not related to any of my other stories.
Warning: This story is a sequel to Harmony's Wrath. This is an Alternate Universe, many elements of the setting have changed drastically, and won't make sense if you haven't read it. Even the cover picture.
Six months on from its rude awakening, Equestria is still dealing with the fallout. Daily life has changed irrevocably, and it's only a matter of time before the dangers of the real world inevitably rear their ugly head. Twilight Sparkle and her friends are taking the lead in preparing ponykind for its trials, but some unusual reports from the outskirts of Trottingham lead them to believe that the world might be a lot wilder than they had anticipated.
Cover art by me and prequel by me.
Tag update: Reduced character tags to Mane 6, CMC, Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash. While the Mane 6 and CMC provide most of the ensemble cast, Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash are the primary viewpoint characters.

The Fillypine Islands; a tropical paradise, just off Equestria's southern shores. Widely regarded across the land for its crystal white beaches, friendly locals, stunning natural beauty, rich wildlife, and its plethora of ruins from the mysterious ancient Mustangs. Twilight Sparkle and her friends are taking a much-needed break, but each has their own agenda, and she quickly finds herself visiting the Mustang ruins with just Rainbow Dash and her delusions of Daring-Do-esque adventure for company.
(This story uses the prompt "The mane six go on a vacation".)
Note: This was originally written between Seasons 1 and 2, and may ignore conflicting lore established by Season 2 or later.
Twilight Sparkle and her friends are snowed into the library one evening, and they happen upon that rarest of specimens - a book Twilight doesn't recognise. However, the ancient tale of adventure and intrigue they find inside ends up shattering their worldview and sending them on an adventure of their own.
This is basically what came to my mind when I heard that Lauren Faust's original concept for the show was of a more arc-based, magical girl style (this turned out not to be true, but my mind ran with it anyway), but this story ended up a long way from magical girls and well into high fantasy by the time I started writing. Also draws on select Homestuck and Dungeons & Dragons themes, and plays with a lot of things the canon leaves unexplained.

Welcome to the Feature Box Crusaders! If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, just let me know and I'd be happy to help.
Also, here's a forum post that'll help get you acquainted with what the FBC is all about.
Hey, bro! Just wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday today! Hope you have a joyous one!!!
>>116940Cool! Then that's the way that I'll go with her on the forum, then, as it DOES make a bit more sense (PLUS which, I won't get everyone ELSE over there steamed at me by doing it the OTHER way, like I do in my fics).
Also, I was thinking (since I AM going to GO this route with her now) of having her be able to communicate with the wolves (maybe EVEN those silly Timberwolves) the way Fluttershy does Angel and the other animals that she takes care of (yet ANOTHER aspect of her Talent).

Thankies for the suggestion, bro. I'll try to get signed over at the forum soon, but life's kinda NUTS for me and mine right now, and with my comp down at home, it's kinda hard to get time TO do stuff like that. SOON, though; I promise.

>>115187 That makes a bit more sense, yes! Something like a park ranger or animal handler specialising in wolves.
Hey, bro.
Getting back to the stuff about my OC, Wolf, I MEANT to tell you that, in my fics and such, "Whitewolf" is Wolf's FIRST name, but I was in kind of a hurry the day that I replied to you (my time was running out at the library, and I'm absolutely TERRIBLE at trying to do stuff when I'm in a big rush like that).
Anyway, ANOTHER scenario (cutie mark-wise that I came up with for her IF I decide to go with the "Whitewolf" name, rather than the "Stormrunner" one, is that she's good with wolves (NOT the kind that was seen in the "Family Appreciation Day" ep ("timberwolves", that are REALLY "made" out of timber? THAT had to be THE corniest thing I've EVER seen...in ANY TV series!), but REAL, flesh-and-fur wolves (gray OR white; doesn't matter)), and THAT's how she earned her Cutie Mark, rather than being BORN with it. (I'm just going THAT way with her in my fic because it adds a bit more mystery to her ALREADY mysterious past.)
Anyway, let me know what ya think, okay? Til then, take care, k?
I AM ASKING YOU ABOUT YOUR BUTT
>>80082Cool. I had a hunch that that MIGHT be the case, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. (Which is AlWAYS a good idea, huh?
)
And I quite understand about the deal-breaker thing. I wasn't planning on making her related to any of the canon characters (just close friends with a few (like AJ, Rainbow and Twilight), but that's all), anyway. I'll leave things like THAT for my fics. Promise.
And civil is my middle name, bro. NOT being that way CAN get you kicked OUT of forums like yours in one HAY of a hurry, so I generally try to mind my manners and be nice. I play nice, too, so NO worries on that.
And THANK you! I consider THAT a HIGH compliment, coming from YOU, bro! You actually just made my day!
And where her NAME is concerned, I'm prevaricating back and forth between using "Whitewolf" OR "Stormrunner", but, given the history of Wolf's Cutie Mark, I'm now leaning more toward the "Stormrunner" one, with the nickname of "Storm". Whatta you think?
And I'd planned to be a lurker just long enough to get the hang of thing around the forum. I generally do THAT with ANY forum that I join. So I hope that that's okay.

Alright, I'll answer the easier one first:
>>80039 They're regular four-legged ponies. I borrowed some of my stock material from HW to save time in writing up the fluff (you may notice that the map is suspiciously similar!). The mythos behind the whole thing is completely different though.
>>80018 We're not that draconian about it, a deal-breaker is just something that breaks the deal on a character - the character isn't approved until the problems are fixed, but we're not going to turbo-ban people for not getting it right the first time! That's just mean. As long as everyone's civil and willing to listen then everything should be fine.
Your character as it is there actually looks like it has a decent start to it! We have no problem with players contributing to the lore as long as it's all discussed fully (having a deer tribe in the Everfree Forest actually sounds pretty nifty) and the name is actually a valid (but not amazing) pony name. 'Stormrunner' is a perfectly good name by itself, but tacking 'Whitewolf' on to the front throws it off a bit, like it's stuffing too much into it. The cutie mark thing though, that... might be a touchy subject. But, this is just my opinion - the other admins would be perfectly happy to help you and answer questions.
As for lurking, it's not like we can stop you! If you want to just hang around and spectate, and maybe chat once in a while, that's perfectly okay. We're really pretty relaxed and friendly at TLD.
Okay, SECOND quick question: are the Ponies TWO legged (like in your "Harmonies Wrath"-Verse) OR aare they just your normal, run-of-the-mill FOUR-legged, four-hooved Ponies like we see in the show?


I'm asking because when I was over at your forum, I noticed that you mentioned King Eisen as being IN the RPG, so I was just curious.

Hey, bro. I'd like to join your "The Longest Day" MLP RPG Forum, but I'm a bit confused on some things (I would have posted this comment on your Blog entry about it, but this danged library comp doesn't seem to want to LET me!
). Okay, I FULLY understand that one of the "deal-breakers" (which I'm guessing is a good way to get yourself tossed OUT of the game (and, by extention, the forum itself)) is the "being a relative of one of the canon characters" (say like, Rainbow's older fraternal twin sister, or something along THAT line), but what about the "unusual name" thing? My MLP OCs name is Whitewolf Stormrunner, and she's a pegasus, raised by the Great Deer Folk of the Everfree Forest (I'm guessing that THEY'RE a no-no, too, though). She's also a scout and explorer (if your read her ("my") Bio over on my page here, it pretty much tells all about her), and where her Cutie Mark comes from is pretty much a mystery to her (according to her back-story, she was BORN with it...probably ANOTHER non-no).
Anyway, I'd love to join up, but I'm a little bit shy of doing it at the moment. Can you join and just be a lurker, or whatever? Or DO you HAVE to participate? I'd LOVE to join, if for no other reason than to just have fun watching OTHERS play.
Help?
