After the events of The Friendship Games, Principal Abacus Cinch returns to her office at Crystal Prep, only to find Twilight Velvet waiting for her, and she is not happy.

Twilight Sparkle, becoming anxious at the upcoming Summer Sun Celebration, which she believes marks the return of Nightmare Moon, beseeches Princess Celestia to do something about it.

Celestia, however, has another, more important task for her; making sure that the Summer Sun Celebration goes off without a hitch. Every year, a different town is chosen to receive the honor of hosting the grand festival.

And the lucky city chosen this year, for this fateful holiday, is none other than the city of Manehattan...

With the Tree of Harmony gone, the Map in Twilight's castle has gone dark and, despite her best attempts, Twilight is unable to reactivate the Map now that its source of power is gone.

Until one day, when her and her friend's cutie marks suddenly begin to glow with a slowly fading light, like a dwindling soul crying out for help...

At Moon Dancer's Party, Lemon Hearts, Twinkleshine, Lyra, Minuette, and I realized that only we stood between a cursed Celestia, a conspiracy in Canterlot, and the coming of Nightmare Moon. Celestia had managed against the geas to train me, appoint me as her crown representative, and send me to oversee the 1000th Summer Sun Celebration in Ponyville. But she'd prevented the royal guard from helping me. Could we, with Shining's help and a hoof-ful of crazy Ponyvillains, save Equestria from nighttime eternal?

A novella about the second bearers of the Elements of Harmony.

Featured from 9/11-9/16, 2018... wow! Thanks, everypony! It wouldn't have happened without all of you! By way of a thank you, I've uploaded a higher-res version of the cover art for those who asked for it. Enjoy!

(Ok, why and how?)

This is a chapter by chapter rundown of the major events of Equestrian history. It is a more complex writing detailing the events, cultures, and characters of the history of pony kind. Written by a pony historian, it records a complete history.

Some basic historical knowledge of both the pony and human kind would be helpful when reading this. This is a complex version of the history, written to a higher level. If you cannot understand the terms used and historical events or documents referenced, you probably shouldn't be reading this story.

If you have any unanswered questions about the history, put them in the comments. I'll give you more information then you ever wanted to know, and if the question has a too lengthy answer, I'll put it into my personal archives of Things to Talk About in Later Stories.

This story is a sequel to The Luna Cypher

Twilight sets out to learn more of the ways of the world, and soon decides that the whole planet is disorganized, insanely dangerous, and desperately needs to be fixed. And she's just the mare to do it... with a little help from her friends.

Also, there are sky-pirates!
