Twilight awakes from a minor magical accident to find herself dead. She believes she is doomed to wander Equestria for all eternity, that is until she discovered certain ponies could see lost souls like her, ponies like Princess Luna.

First fic, blah blah blah, constructive criticism, blah blah blah, if you favorite it like it blah blah blah, etc...

Cover art isn't mine

The princess has gone quiet. Ever since the nations began uniting under one flag, the princess has refused to see anypony, and nopony, not even Celestia's sister has seen heads or tails of the sun goddess.
She only wants to see her student.
Twilight ventures to the castle to see what exactly is the problem.

This whole thing was inspired by one little part in the cover picture. I don't know how many people agree with me, but she (Nightmare/Celestia) seems more concerned than anything else.

EDIT: I was planning on making this a one shot, but fate insists that I change that. No longer will this be a one shot, but a two-parter, I think. 5 comments. Holy shiznits, I must have done something right.

It is three months after the Royal Wedding, and normalcy has returned to Equestria... for the most part. Pinkie is the same old Pinkie, Rainbow Dash is still addicted to the Wonderbolts, Rarity is still trying to learn Prench... but for Twilight, things are not the same. Ever since the Wedding, she's noticed an almost unnoticeable distance from her friends and from Celestia. This alone would be enough to bother her, but to make matters worse, she has been tormented by a dream that she cannot remember and physically cannot rest for fear of.

The tension is building, and something is bound to snap. If you've felt death and loneliness... what would you do to keep your loved ones from suffering the same fate?

Hello, this is your author speaking.
I know you're anxious to get to reading the story with the cryptic description would just like to point out a couple things before you get reading.

First of all, this is my first MLP fanfic, and it is set as an AU beginning just after the S2 finale, so I would appreciate constructive criticism. Not flaming or silent downvotes; give me criticism!
Secondly, it is important to understand that the AU tag seen above possesses two meanings. Not only is it an AU in the literal sense as it utilizes my own expansive worldcanon (dubbed Nidus) but in addition to that, it is an AU in that it does not accept the events of season three as canon. This is due to it chronologically beginning only 3 months after season two. The events of season three may appear, but they will likely be warped.
Lastly, I need to point out that I will probably be editing the tags and characters as this story goes. This being my first story, I'll need time to get a handle on the nuances of the submission system.
Thirdly, Please tell me if any of the fonts I use in the story go wrong. There are bound to be a few errors even with my prereading, so if you find them do say something.
Finally, I'd like to thank RoseyTail for her permission to use this marvelous image as my cover.

Thank you, and enjoy the story of Dark Horizons.

Despite how kind and caring Princess Celestia seems to be, Twilight Sparkle constantly worries about displeasing her. From her nightmares of returning to Magic Kindergarten, to being sent to a dungeon, to banishment; there is no punishment that Twilight cannot imagine.

But why is Twilight so afraid of her teacher? Where did this paranoia come from and what secrets has Celestia kept from the rest of Equestria?

Taking place before the Return of NightMare Moon, this story will finally shed light on exactly why Twilight fears the teacher she claims to love so very much.

Two thousand years ago, before the Alicorns set hoof on the land of Harmonium, the sun and moon rose and fell by a mystery unsolved by ponykind. Kingdoms were ruled by dynasties chosen through royal blood. And the land fell unto chaos more often than not.

For the most part, the chaos and war was caused by the Pegasi. They marched for dominance and power. However, a new threat, allied to none, sought to burn Harmonium to the ground; as well as take over the rest of the Known World.

(Note: Artwork cover is temporary until official one is complete.)

-- This is the first book of the Immortal Fall series. If you followed Veil of Twilight, then this is the first book of that same series. While this book focuses a lot on headcanon and OCs, the story ties indefinitely to future books, and therefore modern Equestria and canon characters. This story is a glimpse at the ancestry of the Cutie Mark Crusaders, and how the events dating back two thousand years ago affect Equestria today --

I hope to read this you give your time, for this story is almost entirely in rhyme.
I live in the forest of Everfree, there is nothing that is new to me.
But one day, I did something I should not, something that affected me quite a lot.
In and out the effects faded, it's my intelligence that the plant hated.
This is the story of how my clumsy action made things not to my satisfaction.

Ponyville faced an ordinary day, but then night came, and with it a massive gateway into another world. It closes before any action can be taken, but now the Mane Six and Canterlot nobility are tasked with finding out what they can about the gateway. Who created it? Where did it lead to?

And most importantly, did anything come through?

Takes place after Season 2

During the royal wedding fight, all of the changelings got blasted away. All but one. The mix, or couple incidents allows him to get a free will and no longer have to listen to what his queen ordered him to do. What will he do with his new life ?

No doctor can find a cure. Magic does nothing but delay the inevitable. Whether cursed or simply sick, the fact remains. Princess Celestia is somehow dying. It's a race against the clock as Night Mist, the most famous detective in Equestria (or just Ponyville) desperately tries to find answers before its too late. Will he discover the source of the illness in time or will Equestria lose its beloved princess forever?

"Good news everypony! I've devised a way for ponies to experience a 100% accurate answer to any what-if question! All you need to do is ask the spell a question, and it will generate a hallucinogenic simulation of the series of events that would follow.
