There are many stories where Twilight tells off her friends after the Wedding. But that's not really Twilight's bag, she gets worried she's failed, or depressed, not angry. So here is a different bridal path, one where Twilight acts decisively to try and redeem herself in the eyes of her friends and sovereign, and ends up travelling to places she never imagined, facing dangers and foes she never dreamed of and making even stranger friends. Of course, there is still a 'reason you suck' speech delivered, but delivered by the last person anyone would expect...

The war was almost over. Nightmare Star had been driven from the cities of Equestria and forced back to her lair in Canterlot. The largest army the nation had ever seen was ready to strike her last fortress and put an end to her reign of terror. The Nightmare's final hour had come.

But when Twilight Sparkle began the assault on the city, things did not go according to plan. The Princess of Friendship was faced with an impossible choice – and the lives of her friends hung in the balance.

The story of my down fall had started. I was out numbered, out gunned and my magical reserves were drained. At the moment when I felt the bullet hit, I thought it was over and I would never see those I care for again, so I closed my eyes and accepted what would happen next.

But desitny stepped in and gave me a new chance to live again. I now have chance to experience life in the fullest; or will I be doomed to repeat my mistakes again and watch all that care for to fall to the darkness that is ever present.

The world I awoke to was different but it felt right. Everyone is here alive and well and what I know about them and the world is wrong. There is no talk of war, but the factors that lead to war from where I came from are still present. The people of Equestria seem to be unaware of advances in technology that have happened. This is due to the fact that nobles keep every advancement a secret so that they can keep the power that they had for generations. Not all but some want change and advancement.

Now the time has come for me to make a choice of who I should be.

Should I become the silent protector who leads a normal life? Should I become a soldier that rose out from the ranks to be a beloved leader? A wandering warrior with immense power and skill that found something worth protecting? Or become a legend of shadows and take my place as the greatest warrior till the end of time.

I don’t know what I’ll do, but as Valkyrie of Equestria, I Twilight Sparkle will do everything in my power to save this country.

This story is a sequel to Fear Me, for My Name is Twaith!

My name is Twilight Sparkle, and I want to be free.

If you have not read the first story, it is highly recommended you do so. For those who have, if you have not read the chapter 'A Cold Greeting', it is recommended you do so, as this is a direct continuation from that.

Thank you to Viral Acorn for providing the cover art. A screw up in the commission though is her being an alicorn, because she is not in the story.

It is a rare day when Princess Celestia gets to take on a personal student. Even having her own school named after her, being a princess makes finding time to be a young pony's mentor all but impossible.

But today will be different. Today, Celestia will get the chance to do something she hasn't done in a long time:

Teach Twilight magic.

Twilight was bored.

So very, very, bored. Hopefully somepony will give her a decent challenge somewhere along the way, but...so far, all it takes is one spell.

Just one.

And she was very, very bored.

This story is a sequel to The Princess that Equestria Never Had

Although this fic is listed as a sequel, you won't be missing anything if you read this fic without reading Never Had.

After traveling through time to stop Starlight Glimmer from changing the course of history, Princesses Celestia and Luna give Twilight Sparkle the opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to study under Star Swirl the Bearded himself! Nothing can go wrong with such a powerful time travel spell in such capable hooves. Twilight knew there was something familiar about Clover the Clever when she read the Journal of the Two Sisters, but she never knew exactly how familiar.

7/4/20 UPDATE: After attending a panel from my friend Vivid Syntax I've decided to mark this story as "complete" and start a new story for the rest of Twilight's time as Clover the Clever. More details in a blogpost.

Twilight Sparkle is one of the brightest mares in Equestria, both in knowledge and friendship. For some reason however, the mare's wings are doing their best to destroy her sanity. Who else would she run to, except the Princess of the Sun, who let's admit it, when confronted with the defiant appendages and their tendency to rebel around somepony they have affection for (whether they know it or not) has the same problems when around.... Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves ;)

Edit: Sex tag added due to slang terms and sexual references. Nothing too bad, I promise!
