This story is a sequel to Sweet Affection

It's been months since the Cutie Mark Crusaders tried helping Rumble with his crush, or rather Scootaloo tried getting Rumble to like her even though he liked Sweetie Belle. All that's been resolved and Rumble is happy with his new marefriend.

Now both Sweetie Belle and Rumble's best friend Dinky are training with Twilight Sparkle to further their magic, but when asked to go to The Changeling Hive, Starlight Glimmer takes over as a mentor. How will she fair when trying to be both a mentor and an older sister to these foals?

Plus Tender Taps has been having some troubles of his own, such as finding his own filly to be with. Perhaps Rumble can help him, just as Tender Taps might be able to help Rumble.

And what happens when they suddenly have to go against Changelings?

5,000 years ago, in the ancient land of Equestria: Darkness reigned Supreme. Every living thing who knew of its power feared it. As it was a force wielded by the most fearsome, and diabolical evil the world has ever known: Tirek, The Supreme Master of Darkness.
Yet he soon learns that his reign may soon be challenged by a strange pony, who is described as being a pegasus with a Unicorns horn. Yet this strange pony has become a greater threat to Tirek than he could have imagined: For this is Courageous Heart, the first Alicorn, and the Champion of Light. The only thing with the potential to defeat him, and end his reign forever.
Yet, in spite of this, Tirek is currently pressed to deal with the Unicorn who has come to warn him of this development. One who was once leader of the village, Einhorn, and the tormentor of Courageous. But after saving the village from Tirek's minions with the power of Light, the village leader was cast out for allying with the horrible tyrant. Now he has come seeking power from Tirek....and the chance for Revenge. But as this foolish pony will soon learn: a bargain struck with Tirek comes with a price.
And he may soon have what he wishes for......but not as he expects it.
