Over a month has past since Sombra was defeated during the return of the crystal empire. But Twilight still feels uneasy. Plagued with nightmares, Twilight has become consumed by fear. But in trying to run from her fears, she will put all of Equestria at risk.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders have always lived in the now, getting what they think needs to be done as a soon as possible, executing their plans just so they can move on to the next one right away, not thinking about the consequences till they’re right there in their faces. But when an attempt to earn their cutie marks goes too far, Sweetie Belle and her friends must face a horrible reality that sends their world into darkness and fear. How will the truth be uncovered and what will be sacrificed to undo this nightmare?

Most legends are born from a single small grain of truth, others are born from the pure imagination of a few ponies, but as Ponyville very well knows not all legends are that. When something saves Apple Bloom from a pack of Timberwolves will she be able to convince the others of what she saw or will she just have to find the truth herself?

The Supplement to this story is ready to be read. It's right here. Read it. I mean... if you want to. I'm not your boss.

I would like to give a big big thanks to Danupert for pre-reading chapters 4 through 12. Thank you so much.
Also want to thank Annoyed Changeling, Ratfinkdos, and Crystal Static for being willing to help with this story as pre-readers. Thank you very much.

Luna does her best to catch up on the events of the past thousand years and ends up reading even more than Twilight.

One day, an ancient tome slips into her pile of reading material and she reads it eagerly. What she finds there may very well be the discovery of the millennium: The location of the last refuge of the humans.

With the help of Twilight and her friends, the Lunar Princess sets out on an archaeological expedition to find the very last human on the planet of Equus.

And they found one, but why is he forged in a full body armor and claims to not being a human... Well he's not one anymore.

This was it, the day Twilight became a full grown mare, and after a wild day of partying, she receives a note from the Princess, requesting that she comes to Canterlot to learn about an almost unheard of type of magic. But this type of magic feels...off to her, and she will come to find out what it really is, and why this magic has stayed a secret for so long.

Instead of Queen Chrysalis' defeat by Cadence and Shining Armor, what if she captured them after they tried to get away and decided that Twilight Sparkle was too smart to be left alone. What will happen to Twilight? And what is Chrysalis planning to do? Will the others even be able to defeat her when Twilight isn't even there to help? Takes place during part 2 of A Cantorlot Wedding and then delves off from there.

Twilight is the new changeling queen, Chrysalis is gone, and now lies dead, Celestia isn't worried in the slightest, and Shining Armor and Cadence have just returned from their honeymoon.

The fate of a race is in Twilights hooves, and all the doors are open to her, what path will she call her own?

It's been too long since I've done any writing (for school, I might add), I hope I haven't lost all my skill.

Although Chrysalis had no doubt that her plan was going to work she had to sure that, if her plan were to fail, that her race would survive. But her plan failed, utterly and completely failed. She had thought that her plan was fool proof but one mere child had managed to derail her plans in one fell swoop. Oh how the queen wanted her revenge and oh she was going to get it. She reveled in the irony of the situation for the pony that had sentenced her and all her children to a slow, painful death in the bad lands would also be the savior of her race. So as the Queen released her final breath she was content in her final revenge.

Thank Pink Pearl for the cover art

Big thanks to Arctic for doing chapters 1-14 on this story!

After an accident reveals that Sweetie Belle is a robot, she is abducted by the government and forced to defend her right to exist. She endures trial after trial in hopes to earn her freedom.

During this ordeal, she discovers dark secrets about her past.

Cadance? Sigh. I should have seen this coming. I shouldn’t have fallen in love with a mare I shouldn’t have. I shouldn’t have become best friends with the mare I loved. And now, I can’t do anything but watch her get whisked away by my other best friend.

Even within your best of friends, there are things that you do not know about. Things that may hold truth as to why Shining Armor can dance even though he knows he can't. Changelings? Perhaps.

The male changeling Vinyl Scratch studies in Canterlot High. Unorthodox may it be to leave the hive, but granted permission from the queen, he studies there and befriends Shining Armor and Cadance.

However close he may be to them, he lives a life of lies. Can s/he withstand the pressure it is to do it? To live a double identity- a pony on the outside, a changeling within? He's Vinyl Scratch- the changeling within.

Rated T for coarse language.
Edit: Added [Romance]
