The CMC is always ready to help their fellow students at CHS with any problems they may have, with almost magical results at times. If you have problems with a subject, are too shy for a confrontation or lost an important (pillow) pet, they'll help.

They are also famous for helping victims of bullying, which Diamond Tiara personally knows, since her and Silver Spoon are the reason why most students seek the CMC's help. But now she herself has to shallow her pride and ask for help.

"Beware Her wrath, fools who dare threaten our Kingdom. For if Celestia be our Shield, then Luna is the Sword."

Spiritual companion to Sweet Celestia.

Equestria is at War.

The remnants of an Enemy once thought vanquished returns and has brought all of Equestria to it's knees. After two years of fighting, the battle to decide the fate of Ponyville will soon begin.

As she mentally prepares herself for upcoming assault. Rainbow Dash decides to have a conversation with a pony whom just a few years ago was the sworn enemy of Equestria.

It was a Question that has been burning in her mind for a very long time.

"Sombra, Why did you join the Royal Guard?"

---------------------------------------------------

Well here is my second story. This idea has been brewing within my mind for a long time. I have searched all over but I've never seen a story that had King Sombra with this concept so I decided I would try my hand at it. Hope you all enjoy!

Also this is NOT related to my previous story 'Just Close you Eyes' in anyway. This story is completely separate.

The world has suffered for too long. Under the iron grasp of the Tyrant they suffer. None who have tried to stand against him have succeeded. So long have the ponies wallowed in despair that they have long since forgotten the joy of earning a Cutie Mark- such a thing is only known of because the Tyrant bestows them upon those who follow him. However, in this bleak world there are rumors of ponies that earned their own marks, who hide in shadow, waiting for a chance to strike at the Tyrant. There are six that are known, and rumors of a seventh. They are:

Lightning Dust, the Pegasus mare who fights for the populace, risking her neck.
Octavia Medley, the Earth mare who brings honest work to a world without.
Moondancer, the Unicorn mare who never turns away those in need.
Flutterbat, the Thestal mare who is giving underneath the scary exterior.
Screwball, the Discord Spawn who never lets the gloom get to her.
Trixie Lulamoon, the Shiftblood Unicorn mare who strives to connect to all.
and the Shadowed Stallion, who is rumored to have a mark that hasn't been seen in thousands of years, who stands for hope.

Together, they will stand and find the Elements- or die trying.

Life after ruling for Celestia is boring, almost too boring. However, on one of her strolls, she comes across a lost runaway filly. It quickly becomes clear that there is more to the filly than what meets the eye.

In an alternate universe, Empress Celestia is the sole ruler of Equestria - later to be surpassed by her daughters; her heirs, Princesses Sunset and Twilight.

Nightmare Moon had long since banished to the moon, but even for such an exile, there's only so much a moon banishment can do. Her body may be chained, but not her spirit.

Takes place years before Tough Love

In an alternate universe, Empress Celestia is the sole ruler of Equestria - later to be surpassed by her daughters; her heirs. Princesses Sunset and Twilight had had a cozy life, until one day when their mother decided to reveal just how much truth an old pony's tale may hold - a tale that may be the beginning of a new one.

Celestia has been waiting for this night her entire life; Twilight Sparkle has been destined to come for years upon decades upon centuries. But she didn't know to expect her student like this.

She steels herself anyway. She pours some tea, and welcomes Twilight with open hooves.

Then the two of them have a talk.

It has been fifteen years since the Battle of the Bell, that terrible day when friendship failed and the forces of evil were triumphant. The conquerors of Equestria carved the land into three and settled into their rule, comfortable in the knowledge that nopony would ever be able to stand against them again.

In her home, a manor-house she calls Story's End, the Empress Cozy Glow receives an unexpected visit from a most expected visitor. It's a night she has long anticipated; the absolute final victory over the forces of light and love. After all, what has she to fear?

How much of a threat could an exiled princess from the far north possibly pose?
