The Prequestrian Dialect magic language used in the story was created by me.
A translation guide of it can be found here.

(Note: Prologues 1-5 do not include the main MLP cast, they are intended to introduce the OC's so the reader will better understand them and their actions throughout the story.
Also, yes I do realize I have more than 10 characters shown on the list, that is because I'm going to include dadgum near everypony in this fic.)

If you're a Twidash fan, thanks for giving this old thing a read. When I wrote it, I did ship Twidash myself. Alas, no longer. I will not be writing a follow up, I will not write another Twidash story unrelated to this one. Between some kind of artistic integrity and a desire not to remove a story no matter how little I care for it, this story will stay here.

After over 1000 years locked in stone, Starlight breaks free of his prison into an equestria more peaceful than what he remembered. However, is equestria ready to accept him back?

When your life is as dull a gray as the world that surrounds you, the mundanities can make it all seem meaningless. Sometimes all we need is a little color -- or six -- to reintroduce us to what truly makes life worth living.

What started as a normal friendly visit ends up taking two ponies on a trip down memory lane that leads them both to realize their friendship began even before Rainbow Dash's first sonic rainboom.

When Diamond Dogs unearth the ancient and powerful Black Gem, they use it to take over the Equestrian Kingdom. Princess Celestia sends for help, from another dimension.

A few short years after Nightmare Moon was sealed into the moon, four of Luna's friends make a major request to Celestia. They claim that Luna is fighting her alter-ego and that Celestia's seal will be stronger if they help her fight Nightmare Moon. Lunar Veil, a unicorn who loves the stars can see the moon for what it really is and wants nothing more than to help her friend. Swift Gale, her mate, a pegasus stallion would follow her to the ends of Equestria, and apparently even the moon. Silver Fern, a quiet but poignant Earth pony misses the kind princess. And Triumphal Lance, a unicorn mare from the Lunar Guard still feels the loyalty she had when Luna was present.

The year is 2756, roughly 200 years following the human victory against the Covenant Empire in the Great Interstellar War. We know for a fact that the Covenant, while they were massively corrupted, they were NOT by any means crushed altogether. Over the past two centuries, our UNSC Navy fleet has been assigning unmanned scout craft to and around the homeworlds of the major species of the Covenant Empire, and - while they appear to be living individually for the majority - new intelligence and scans of major systems still in "Covenant controlled" space suggest an ominous and inescapable truth: the alien menace has managed to regroup covertly, and they have massed a fleet FAR larger than anything our galaxy has ever seen before. We would assume that their most likely motive is vengeance, however other pieces of intel suggest that their intended target is not in fact Earth - or any of her colonies within UNSC controlled regions of space - but another, far more distant planet, lying on the outstretches of the Milky Way galaxy. Although their intentions are otherwise unknown, we cannot take any chances and allow the Covenant to advance to this new planet. A medium fleet of UNSC warships has been assigned a scout - and if all goes well - interception mission of this new planet, hopefully cutting off the Covenant in time to stop whatever plan they may have.

Skydancer is getting pretty tired of being a young earth pony with a name better suited for a pegasus. Lieutenant Green would love to finish his deployment safely, but first he has to figure out where he is and, just as importantly, why all the Afghans look like colorful little horses. How can a misnamed colt and a misplaced Soldier help each other when they don't even speak the same language?

Contains minor violence. Not really GORE per se, but some violence.
