This story is a sequel to Because Love Conquers All

Equestria has found peace, and Luna and her husband have been able to relax in what they fondly call the Looking Glass World. Everything they have hoped for seems to be coming true: they have friends, family, and Luna is soon to bear a child. But soon enough, the peace is broken as the two are given a mission that will take them to other layers of reality, and they will find themselves hunted by the machines of their worst nemesis as evil once more comes to their world.

Divided into two phases, the first phase tells the story of the strange and layered universe Luna and Scrivener are fighting to protect, while working to raise a child and take care of friends and family. The second phase tells of war on their world, and how nothing comes without a cost. Eventually, all questions are answered, all loose ends tied together, all riddles solved: simply read and allow the story to keep track of itself.

Phase I, Day: Honor, Duty and Family (Chapter 1 - Chapter 38): In which a child is born, explanations are given, friends are recovered... and enemies begin to make themselves known.

Phase II, Night: Ashes, Metal and Corruption (Chapter 39 - Chapter 75): In which Clockwork World begins its campaign in earnest, an impossible story comes to life, old enemies rise... and the Fates themselves conspire against Luna and her love.

A story that mixes together elements of sci-fi, romance, and fantasy. Action and adventure intertwine with darkness and hope that shines through even the deepest despair, in a world where everything seems complex and impossible... but all the answers are clear cut and simple.

The sixth and final story of the Nátta Edda, and the final story of the Iðavöll Trilogy.

Spike and Ember are transported to the Artisans homeworld as infants, without any memories at all, and arrive in time for Spyro's egg to hatch, leaving Nestor and the other Dragon Leaders with two purple dragons and a blue dragon, instead of just a single purple dragon. They decide to take it as a sign of great things to come and keep the trio together, letting the three dragons grow up as siblings while they teach them the value of teamwork and what it means to be a dragon, all while preparing them for whatever the future has in store for them.

5000 years ago, the alicorns invaded the planet for the first time. 1000 years ago, the celestial alicorn sisters staked their claim over the pony tribes. Then the Everfree burned, and now the Empress of Equestria rules alone. Celestia may reign, but she does not rest, for ever are there terrors lurking: Things great, ancient, and inapproachable, older than the alicorns.

It is an age of great advancements in Equestria. Gunpowder, oceanic trade, and new ideologies have shifted the balance of power and pony attitudes to the powers that be. The alicorn ordained hierarchy is challenged daily, as bitterness grow between the insecure knights and nobles, and the resentful burghers and commoners. Though many speak as though as if the Equestrian universal peace is already a dead letter, desperate reformers fight their own battle to preserve their princess's empire.

But it is not by mortal striving alone that the wheel of history is turned. The supernatural adversaries of Celestia's reign have returned at last, to conquer ponykind for themselves. Nightmares return to stalk under moonlit skies, but they are just the first and do not even bear the deepest grudge.

In an age of growing crisis, will the ponies be found wanting? Will the princess herself be found wanting? Will naked ambition, arrogance, and evil shatter the very concord of the tribes? It is a fraught time to live, where the pony world faces both peril and possibility. The ponies, the alicorns, the monsters- all have but one goal, to survive and see the world remade to their desires.

Twilight Velvet has lived in this changing world long enough to despise it, while Twilight Sparkle is just coming of age in it. Shining Armor thought he found his place but discovers all is not as it seems. This pony family, divided by duty, may effect the world more than the even their alicorn sovereign, if they can survive being close to power. Surely fighting ponies and monsters alike is worth it when there is a nation and a future to win.

Author's warnings: This story has many original characters, a fairly complex plot and lore, and is very long. A story that started as me trying to write Game of Thrones with MLP ponies has grown up with me and has come to include many of my interests in political philosophy and history. I'm committed to finishing it before taking what I learned and writing this story in its own setting, however long that takes.
