Following the return of the Crystal Empire, Twilight begins some intensive research into the history of the Empire and its late king. Modern historians know next to nothing about the enigmatic dark mage. Who was he? Did he have family? Loved ones?

Part 1 of the Shadow Trilogy

As Twilight Sparkle enters her third year amongst her friends in Ponyville, she finds herself plagued with strange dreams of an unknown power whispering dark secrets to her. The voices speak of Power, of the strength to protect what she holds most dear, of the great knowledge she could attain, such that no force could ever threaten her lands, or her friends, ever again.

Though she shrinks from this voice, the lure of greater knowledge, of magical power far beyond what she currently knows is enticing and alluring to her, eating away at her resolve even as the lack of rest begins to wear her physical defenses down.

What is this voice, and what does it plan for the most faithful student in Equestria?

Peaceful times have settled over Equestria. In fact it's actually kind of boring... that is until crime erupts from out of nowhere. Now Twilight and her friends must face perhaps their greatest foe yet, an evil mastermind that goes by the name Simply Anarchy. Twilight is convinced that with the power of friendship and a positive outlook, there is nothing they can't do. It is, in fact, her destiny to spread that very idea. She is about to learn the hard way, that not all ponies share her ideals. Some aren't after friendship, money, power, or anything obvious to that extent. Some ponies just want to watch the whole world crumble.

Takes place well after the events of episodes 1 and 2 of Season 6.

Simply Anarchy is a villainous OC of my own twisted mind!

Twilight Sparkle, just a filly when she became Princess Celestia's private pupil, years later she became friends with five different but unique mares, and together they became the bearers of the Elements of Harmony, defeated Nightmare Moon, Discord, and Tirek as well.

A shocking discovery turns Twilight's life upside down.

What if the grand finale of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic ended in a different way? What if the story changed where another scenario played out? Well my friends, this is the tale of the Ending of the End, where the saying goes "Be Careful with what you wish for."

Twilight Sparkle rules Equestria as the new sole monarch.
Three years have passed since her coronation and the kingdom had enjoyed a time of relative peace under her watchful eye, while she and the rest of her friends went on to live their own separate lives without losing contact or forgetting their friendship.

But even with everything running smoothly, in the world of light there will always be a shadow that lurks beneath. The ancient darkness of Equestria, which was believed to be a little more than a fairy tale and known only by those whose lifetime transcends the Two Sisters, is about to re-emerge and has found itself agents through whom to execute its will.

Will the power of friendship be enough to stop the darkness, when there is no light to take its place?
