"Daring Do" has been captured by the dreaded "Ahuizotl" in a lava-filled chamber. Can she rescue herself and find him in time to save her friend and end his evil schemes? Let's find out.

Filly Twilight

Fresh cookies are a great start to a summer afternoon, and an unexpected surprise makes things even better. What's a little filly to do, though, when the best foalsitter ever is running late, her BBBFF starts acting funny, and her house is filled with molten rock?

Flurry Heart has made the ultimate sacrifice, but is it truly over? After using her own life essence to restore Equestria to an inhabitable state in her own world, she is reborn into a new one. But this one seems much purer, while the enemies that cost her everything to defeat are all either banished or destroyed. Even her mother and father are still alive, and more surprisingly, even her Aunt Twilight? What is this twist of fate and what does it mean for Flurry Heart?

Shining and Cadence knew that raising a princess would present challenges above and beyond those of raising a born alicorn. As one might expect of Twilight Sparkle's brother and sister-in-law, they prepared as best they could for many of the problems they might encounter along the way.

Of course, that doesn't mean anypony told Flurry, who feels like this is a bit of an overreaction to her wanting a cookie that happened to belong to somepony else.

Legendary swords, items of power and magic, great artifacts that can topple countries and raise kingdoms when wielded by those worthy of their supernatural might. They are the greatest of arms, wielded by heroes and villains alike as they battle fate itself.

As such, as the wisest of sages can easily attest, there are very good reasons why any sane being would do well in keeping such dangerous artifacts well contained and safely hidden away from prying eyes and unworthy hands until such times when their mighty powers may be needed once again.

So the fact that both Link and Ganondorf lost their legendary blades as they traveled through the void towards ancient Equestria may be something of a problem…

This is just a fun little, non-canon, Omake to my story The Power of Freedom, depicting one of the many possibilities that could’ve come to pass due to Link and Ganondorf losing their swords mid-travel as they reached ancient Equestria.

Reading the main story isn’t necessary to appreciate this, but it would make it far more enjoyable.

Proofreader: The relentless TranquilClaws!

Abducted at a young age, Twilight Sparkle’s life has changed beyond anything she could have possibly imagined…if she could only remember her past.

Follow the newly christened Sunset Shimmer as she rediscovers herself while working in the shadows for Equestria.

Twilight was known by many names. Celestia’s other student. Prodigy, powerhouse, unstable, crazy and in the darkest of shadows..Monster. The lavender filly cared for none of it. She simply wanted to be left alone, but when the moon refuses to give way to the sun destiny forced her within the heart of battle and the Elements choose. Reaching out to a lonely princess her and her new friends are named champions of the realm but there is more than a little truth to the unicorns many names and darkness lurks in her heart

Tormented by secrets destroying her mind Twilight Sparkle has been thrusted into the role of hero. Now surrounded by friends, heart open to the world she had scorned before she will go on a journey of pain, love, friendship and forgiveness, and maybe just maybe she can heal what had been shattered so long ago..

This story is a sequel to Why Should I Dance

Not everyone has the steel in their spine to be the weapon of purpose that Sunset is. She knows what her surrogate mother needs from her, and what is asked of her, and all her life she has accepted that she would always be the sum of that purpose: the steel and strength of the Solar Princess.

Now, things have changed, and the weapon wants more than a sheathe. She wants more than to be swung in battle against those who would make brittle the rule of law and the power of the throne. Sunset knows how to swing both blade and magic, but swinging human is something completely different.

This chapter was commissioned by Scampy.

What if Twilight had a friend before heading to Ponyville, what if there was a seventh Element of Harmony, what if this pony stayed with Twilight in Ponyville. how would things have turned out
