There's something about Sunset.

Something special. Something like music, it plays through Twilight's head. Something like a dance, it leaves Twilight winded but elated. Something like magic, it draws Twilight's gaze and invites her daydreams.

There's something about Sunset, and Twilight wants to know what it is.

Sunset Shimmer isn't a normal girl. She can levitate objects with her mind, shoot hot energy from her palms, and when she's scared, she can disappear and reappear somewhere else entirely.

Her parents know. Her siblings know. What they don't know is how different Sunset really is.

When nightmarish creatures attack and kidnap her sister, Sunset ventures into the unknown and discovers a world teetering on the edge of total darkness.

What begins as a rescue mission turns into a struggle to save a kingdom, as Sunset learns just who and what she is, and the weight that comes with it.

What you need is my insight.
What you can find beyond the power of my insight is where you need to go in order to find the Nightmare. What you need is the Stone of Yharnam. It must contain the power of the Great Ones.
Will I, Sunset, ever find a gem like this?
What I also need is the Blade of Moonlight because it harbors the key to the Blood Moon.
There 14 phrases I need to keep in mind:
Celestial Dial
Great One's Wisdom
Ring of Betrothal
Radiant Badge
Great One's Wisdom
Tonsil Stone
Great One's Wisdom
Sinister Chalice
Flora
Kos' Parasite
The First Vicar
Great One's Wisdom
Sinister Chalice
Blood Moon
I will engrave those words onto my blades so I won't forget them. What is most important is "knowledge"; I must have the knowledge to find the beings of light. As they emerge, my Blade will absorb them and give birth to something entirely new.
Whatever is born will "awaken". It will show interest in the 14 words...It ill trust me and I will become its' "friend".
Lastly, I will arrive at the Hunter's Dream...
That's when the Nightmare will begin...

After what happened at the Fall Formal, Rarity comes to see that Sunset Shimmer's become little more than a recluse, a mere shell of her former self. It also doesn't help that no one in the school is even willing to give her a chance. Rarity sees this as inexcusable. So, honoring their promise to Twilight, she convinces the girls to try their hardest to get Sunset out of her shell by having the girl take part in their activities.

But will a simple shared interest be enough able to open up Sunset's rapidly closing heart?

Sunset Shimmer has had enough of her mentor's backwards ways. Seeking a new life across distant waters, the Equestrian Elf has decided to be the first of her kind to to attend the premiere human magic school of Hogwarts. However, with the school having recently recovered from a devastating war, accepted even more unusual students, and housing a new, strange artefact, more may be in store for her than just a simple education. And if her ambitions and disgruntlement over her homeland get the best of her, she may wish she had never come.

Will she fall victim to her own anger, or will her new friends keep her off a dark path? She will soon find out. After all, most don't leave Hogwarts without discovering who they truly are.

Part of my Sky Trek universe, though none of that is required reading.

Centuries ago, Chrysalis was the daughter of a nobleman in Italy. Then, she was the slave of a tyrant in Equestria. After that, she was the queen of the changelings. Then she was no one; a broken soul waiting to die. And then... she was saved.

Now, Chrysalis is no more than the child she always was, before fate and the whims of monsters stole her innocence. Now, Chrysalis has a family, and a new lease on life. She lives in the care of Celestia, the human counterpart to one of her oldest enemies in Equestria. The very same caring woman who pulled her from the depths of despair after her final defeat as Queen Chrysalis. What's more, her life is about to take another drastic turn: she's starting school at Canterlot High.

For one who has seen and suffered as much as Chrysalis, high school should be a breeze. However, it comes with its own set of challenges. New friends, new enemies, and more homework than she can blast with changeling magic! But more challenging still are the old demons still festering in the depths of her heart and mind. If Chrysalis has any hope of truly starting life anew, she'll have to put those demons to rest once and for all. And what better way to do so than with the love and support of family and friends?

Chrysalis always needed love to survive, after all.

The Official Timeline

This story is a sequel to Incarnate

It has been 100 years since Princess Twilight had recreated the Lunar Lock mirror to Earth following its destruction. While Twilight had seen to the affairs of Equestria with the occasional assistance from Celestia and Luna, Sunset Shimmer had been living and raising a family on Earth only visiting every 30 moons and avoiding the ever growing quagmire of Canterlot politics. It is a blissful existence for Sunset, but sadly, nothing lasts forever.

One night Sunset receives a dream visitor who she did not expect and a warning of the approaching doom of Equestria by ancient creatures. Sunset must choose between either remaining in her self imposed exile or returning to the world she abandoned including facing her family and friends in order to help save them.

Some might think it an easy decision.

It is not.

This story is a sequel to Cheer Princess

Alright, full disclaimer: THIS IS NOT MY WORK

The original story was written by MythrilMoth, who died back in 2019. He was well-loved by the user of FiMfiction and was regarded as one of the best writers on this website.

When I first found the original Cheer Princess story, I immediately fell in love with it. It broke my heart to see that MythrilMoth died and that the story would never continue.

Since nobody can get a hold of Zef, the best friend of MythrilMoth, nobody has gotten to finishing any of Mythril's stories. While I would have contacted Zef and asked if I can finish the work, he hasn't logged on in close to a year, and I don't know if he will come back. To that end, I will finish the story.

Now, this is not a re-write or a plagiarism story, it is a direct continuation of the story Mythril wrote. To give credit where credit is due, you would have to go to the original story, which I have linked, to read the start of the story and make sense of this one. I only hope that this story is accepted as a tribute to Mythril and his works. rather than be seen as plagiarism on one of this site's most known users.

In memory of MythrilMoth, the best writer this website could ask for.

She didn't think. She just jumped through the portal.

Then it closed behind her.

Stuck in the body of a human teenager, Princess Celestia finds herself trapped in the same world as her bitter student. Even as she and Sunset Shimmer both work to adapt to their new environment and bodies, Celestia is faced with an additional challenge: Sunset Shimmer is attempting to become the queen of Canterlot High, and the only way Celestia can fight back is...

...by becoming more popular.

(Original work by MythrilMoth, read the original chapters as I will not be putting them here)
