When one of Fluttershy's dear animal companions wanders into the Everfree, she sets out to bring him home safely - but what she finds at the center of the forest is something she didn't expect, and something that ushers in a change to her world that makes each day darker than the last.

I always wanted to go to Equestria. When I got the chance, I took the deal without reading the fine print. To my surprise, I didn't arrive there as a pony, or even as a human. It seems I get to view this world from a different perspective than what I've imagined.

My name is Echo. I am a Diamond Dog.

The legends told of their return.

For over a decade Equestria has been beset by the dragons. Every year more villages vanish in flames, and the lonely cities stand as our last redoubt. Winter has gripped the world, and our hope is fading.

But the legends tell of another, a light in the darkness. The Dragonborn, a mythic warrior reborn with the power of the Voice, the only one who can stand against the dragons.

But when she appeared, she was not what we were expecting...

You know, every day I try to be a normal kid. I go to school, do my homework, and hang out with my friends. I've always dreamed of having a pony as a pet. But now my room is filled with these technicolor ponies and I'm just about ready to kill myself. I've read all the damn fics about how awesome it would be to have a pony in real life, but Celestia damnit this sucks balls. Pinkie, what did I tell you about disobeying physics!

In the beautiful land of Equestria, a creature born of darkness and despair from a world where hope long lay dead crashes from the sky. A beast of little more than destruction and fury. His name is Jonas, and he has no idea why all these colorful ponies are talking.

The balance was lost eons ago when fear and anger drove two friends apart. Recent events have lead to Equestrian secrets coming to light, and Twilight Sparkle must recover what has been lost by rejoining two halves of an eternal whole, changing Equestria forever.

Shiny Beam is stuck in a rut. He's lost the fire that once made him a great writer. All is not normal in Ponyville, however, as a strange anomaly thrusts him far, far into the future, where no trace of ponies are left on Equestria... except for one survivor. This long-secluded pony recants the tale of his life and the end of Equestria.

In this barren land, Shiny must find hope. And a way back.

Twilight Sparkle is, of course, a genius. Her insatiable love for books has made her a walking encyclopedia of all things magic. But you can't become truly great in academia just by reading books; Albert Einstein didn't invent the special theory of relativity by reading about it in high school. Well, Twilight has aspirations of true greatness. Her world is full of mysteries that she won't find the answers to in her library, and she's determined to be the one to solve them. And all the while, a villain wielding a brand of deadly, unknown magic is threatening both her friends and the whole of Equestria. What's a unicorn to do?

Being a genius isn't quite enough. Luckily, Twilight is also a scientist.

This is an old story that takes place in the canon circa season two. It involves a slight re-imagining of Twilight to make her more of a scientist than a science fangirl. This doesn't mean she's no longer a cute nerd; if anything, she's more adorkable than ever.

Though the events of Discord are behind them, Twilight still thinks about the spirit of disharmony. Thoughts kept to herself, she realizes that some of the things she does remind her of him...and how she DOES miss him. Thoughts kept to herself, hiding it from her friends and even the princess, Twilight wonders what could have been if they never had turned Discord into stone. Would he still have been trouble? Would he have been someone able to be compatible with in time? Even Twilight wonders if his cotton candy clouds were actually as delicious as they seemed! Here's a story from the unicorn's perspective during many scenes from "Return of Harmony" as well as her opinions after the events.

*Okay, if anyone's wondering why Mordecai, or should we say BLONDECAI, from Regular Show is in the picture, it's because this is one of the pictures I made and posted on my Deviantart page cartuneslover16. I love doing crossovers, and for you to TRULY understand me in this thing I like to call the CARTUNE UNIVERSE, you're going to have to go to my gallery. :D

*My crossover story on DA, "Chaotic Order", is connected with this story. ;)
