The world ended.

That, at least, is what it sounded like. Screaming, howling, and then deathly silence.

A month later, Cheerilee and Scootaloo emerge from their shelter in search of food. As they search among the dead bodies of their friends, only one question comes to mind:

Where are the unicorns?

This story is a sequel to "The Traverser"

Following his fight with Nightmare moon, Silver watch was imprisoned by her evil magic for a thousand years. Finally, being set free by a mysterious force, Silver finds himself in a new world of ponies. Having lost his dear friend and partner, Silver Watch must deal with his regrets, his betrayal, and the fact that he is still The Traverser and his greatest fear will soon be realized. But six new ponies might just change his life forever through the power of friendship and a chance of redemption.

It has been nearly a thousand years since Twilight Sparkle died. Celestia and Luna are gone. The Holy Equestrian Diarchy, ruled by a bigoted and brutal theocracy, has driven ponies apart and divided them along tribal lines. Unicorns are driven from society, feared and hated.

The lessons of friendship, painstakingly written down in the journal of friendship by Princess Twilight and her friends, have been warped and twisted to fit the Diarchy's hateful ideology. But to the average pony, this is the truth and reality of the world they live in, beset on all sides by enemies monstrous and magical.

Emberglow, a young pegasus mare, aspires to join the elite Knights, magically enhanced warriors dedicated to the holy Saints worshiped by the state religion. Can she uncover the lies and deceptions that have led the world to this bitter place?

Note on timing: I began writing this long before Season 9 aired, so none of those events happened as far as the narrative of this story is concerned.

Based on the Equestria at War universe.

In the year 1011 ALB, Queen Chrysalis declared war on Equestria. She and her High Command believed that the Equestrians would be easily crushed underneath the treads of their tanks and pushed back by their powerful changeling rifles. However, they were quickly proven wrong as their forces met the heavily fortified positions of the Equestrian military. After months of a painful stalemate, the High Command had a brilliant idea. They began deploying infiltrators into the Equestrian fortifications to weaken and surprise the defenders for the oncoming attackers.

One particular changeling was deployed to an Equestrian fortification, weeks in advance. On the promised day, he sits in a trench, waiting for the arrival of his brothers and sisters. But, will they come? And what happens to the mare that he became friends with if they do come?

After casting down Discord and imprisoning him in stone, Celestia and Luna become the new rulers of Equestria. Their subjects, however, are fearful of them due to their command over the sun and moon. To prove she and Luna care for Equestria, Celestia begins a campaign of befriending their subjects through acts of love and kindness.

This results in her meeting Solis, a troubled earth pony orphan with pure yellow eyes and whom never had a loving family or friends. Recognizing great potential in the little colt, Celestia adopts Solis for the purpose of raising him to be a third wheel in she and Luna's rule over Equestria. With him under her wing and Equestria's citizens faithful to her and Luna, Celestia is confident that the future of ponykind is a bright one.

Such confidence is broken, however, by Nightmare Moon's rise and subsequent defeat. With her subjects' faith shattered, Celestia's vision of a bright future starts to crumble. It's then that Solis proposes a plan to ensure such a future comes to pass, but at a great cost to them both. The fate of Equestria is in Celestia's hooves and it all boils down to one simple, yet very emotional question.

Can she learn to hate her only child?
