Spike had never thought he would meet his birth parents, he had been with Twilight for quite sometime now and he was starting to lose hope that he'd ever meet them. But when he goes to the Dragon Lands to see the Migration, he not only meets a kind dragon who helps him through the place, but he also helps find someone he never thought would get to meet..

After finding an ancient map in the Ponyville castle that showed six more castles, Kimono, Razzaroo, and Silly Lilly set out to find them. They meet an athletic pony named Star Dasher near the Castle of Happiness in Joyville. Star Dasher joins them in their quest to find these ancient castles and to unravel the mystery of why they were built and why these cities lost contact with each other.

This story is set in MLP G3, starting after "A Very Charming Birthday." With a few exceptions, most of the characters are from the toys. The story is meant to blend the adventurous and slice-of-life aspects of G3 while staying safe and true to the feel-good vibes of that generation. I threw in just a li'l romance 'cuz I wanted to.

This is my biggest, most complex, and most carefully planned and edited fanfic so far. The writing process for this one is nearly the same as what I've used for full-length novels, so please enjoy! A huge thank you to Partly Pinkie, abrony-mouse, LadyBird, Alktenalfh, Before, bookworm, singinglia, and Worldbringer of Joseun for reading and providing feedback, to everypony in the Butterfly Island Resort who helped me brainstorm, and to Knantyell for the cover art.

This story is a sequel to Strange Day at the Recruitment Office

There was one thing Gallus always wanted to be growing up in Griffonstone, a military officer. There was one slight problem though, he made several friends at a school in Ponyville, all of whom he values greatly but they also plan to stay in Equestria. So now sets his sights on being an officer in the E.U.P. Guard, by making his way into and through Canterlot's Royal Guard Academy.

Problem solved... except he'll be training at one of the toughest academies in Equestria, trying to keep in touch with his friends in Ponyville, while trying to make new friends in Canterlot, and oh yeah, he's a griffon amongst an institution full of ponies.

Celestia didn't want very much. She was happy to spend her youth learning how to farm with her adoptive father. She was happy learning how to cook from her adoptive mother. She was happy to play hide and seek with her little sister Luna, and stare at the stars with her on those warm summer nights. But when the world began to freeze with unnatural snow and ice, and the pony tribes began to go for each other's throats, Celestia's world is undone, and all she wants is to protect her little sister, no matter what.

But between ravenous snow spirits, superstitious ponies, and the machinations of those who would use them for their own ends, Celestia will struggle at every corner. Matters only become that much harder when her little sister begins to hear a voice in her dreams, calling her across the frozen wilderness with the only words Celestia remembers her true mother saying.

"Rise and shine."

A special thank you goes out to my editor, Chromio.

It is best to read this story with Night Mode turned on.

Chapter and cover art were all made by me.

A human living in Canterlot castle is given to Queen Chrysalis as part of peace negotiations between Equestria and the Hive. Celestia knew she shouldn't have let Luna finish the negotiations herself.

Clover the Clever never asked for his life to get so complicated.  It was bad enough tricking a drunk Imperatrix Celestia, war goddess of the Three Tribes, out of her accidental coup against Queen Platinum.  But now the most dangerous pony in Equestria has returned to trade her claim on the sun for a chance to woo him.

On top of that, his erstwhile mentor Star Swirl the Bearded has saddled him with a mysterious magical necklace and a uniquely bleak and pointless prophecy: If he's brave enough, and if he's clever enough, he just might survive Celestia for long enough to break her heart.

Recommended by PresentPerfect! "horizon gave me the story I needed rather than the one I wanted ... along the way we get some very strong lessons about love, and meditations on the value of a lifetime and what one pony can achieve on their own."

Gallus doesn't want to go home for summer. With a little gentle persuasion, he gets his friends on board to keep him out of Griffonstone, though none of them are quite sure how to do it; that is, until Silverstream hatches a scheme.

All he has to do is join the Hippogriff Navy. It's not the relaxing summer away from school that he hoped for, but hey, it promises to be interesting! Who knows what three months as a sailor could bring?

Adventure? Certainly.

Self-discovery? For sure.

A sea battle with a band of renegade pirates? Anything's possible.

Romance?

Pssh. Yeah, right.

It's been a few months since Twilight and her friends stopped the Storm King. With this new dawn, Tempest Shadow, going by her real name Fizzlepop Berrytwist, decides to take her chances to live a normal life in Ponyville. She explains how things came to be, and how her journey of redemption unfolded.

Disclaimer: The sex tag is because of brief but non-descriptive mentions of sex and heat, a bit of mild seduction, and mentions of Tempest's impregnation in the first chapter. There are also very mild curse words throughout the story so be warned. Also, be prepared for reformed and preggy Tempest being an optimistic cutie.

Big shout out to my friend Moorsheadfalling for helping edit my fics. Especially this one. You the man, man

Effective communication is important in any friendship.

Unfortunately for Twilight, Tempest Shadow and Pharynx communicate almost exclusively in overwhelming force.

Spike has hit his growth spurt making him happier than ever before... for about two weeks before he realized he was still the same, just taller and lanky. He still makes most of the chores around the castle, takes notes, reads comics, runs errands around town, and helps his friends whenever he can.

He's the same dragon he was before. The same coloration. The same appetites. The same hobbies. The same likings. The same fears.

The same weakling.

The same coward.

The same Spike.

He decides it's time for that change once and for all. And he knows exactly who to go to for that.
