This story is a sequel to Ghosts of Whitetail Wood

This story begins a few weeks before the events of Ghosts of Whitetail Wood and continues forward past the ending of that story. Celestia is confronted with the fact that her faithful student has managed to break the fundamental laws of the universe. If left uncorrected, there's a good chance that the universe itself may unravel. The obvious answer is to kill Twilight Sparkle and all of creation is conspiring to eliminate her as a threat. Celestia has other ideas.

Twilight Sparkle is seen as a hero to all the ponies of Equestria. She not only stopped Nightmare Moon, but she also aided in sealing Discord and helped in preventing a changeling invasion. She however doesn't see herself as a hero, for all of her achievement she had to depend on the powers of others. Just once she would like to know that she can protect her friends herself, and not be the one that always needs saving.

During the first day of her one year leave to return to Canterlot, a strange meeting with Princess Luna opens the door to a great mystery, and a chance to gain the strength she desires. There's only one catch. This strength she can only attain with the help of Princess Luna, who also requires her help in protecting Equestria.

Twilight just has one question. Why does Luna keep calling her "Master"?

Twilight is outraged by the fact Rainbow Dash has begun shipping Daring Do and Ahuizotl.

After a rather unpleasant landing in a thorn bush, Rainbow's wing is hurt. Luckily, Twilight is there to mend her wounds and take care of her.

Proofread by TheShadow

What do you do when you are abducted from your home, your life, your very body and name before being placed into a magical vessel built to protect the world you end up in? Read along and find out.

While certain concepts are based on the game malicious the story deviates far from it beyond the main character (The soul in the Vessel) and the design of the weapon it uses. (A large flowing cloak that shape-shifts into various objects.) So I will have to put a human and crossover tag on it. (Not sure on Crossover but the Vessel is human shaped.)

Also not using the OC tag as the Vessel is technically a licensed character and as it's supposed to be some random person's soul inside it anyway I don't consider that an OC. (As that's how it's introduced in the game.)

The rating's teen due to obvious reasons, mainly the fact that malicious was a teen rated game. (I think.) And therefore I'll probably include minor things like small amounts of blood and swearing.

Pre-Reading done by the amazing NocturnalLoner (Check out their stuff.)

(( Warning: This story hasn't been altered or modified since its entry into the contest. It has minor grammar issues and I am well aware of that, but I left it as is because that is how it was entered into the contest. Just a heads up because I am getting lots of feedback regarding the same issues.))

Sometimes secrets are best kept hidden, and sometimes they shouldn't be secret at all. The fillies are about to learn a valuable lesson that a certain filly was keeping from those she knew.

What happens when secrets unravel and the fate of five fillies are changed forever?
