Everypony has a story. Some tell of heroic feats and grand adventure. Others tell of villainy against the forces of Harmony. The story of an average guard, however, is one of obscurity. They live in the background, unnoticed but ever-present.

Silent Knight assumed his tale would be like that of his father's: join the Royal Guard and serve Equestria. He would be just another helmet and spear, part of the rank and file. And that was all he ever wanted.

However, when Captain Shining Armor asked for volunteers to form a House Guard for the recently returned Princess Luna, it was Silent's hooves that stepped forwards to set his new life in motion.

This is a collection of strange short stories that I write when I’m bored. I have no excuses.

Sky Limit is an earth pony. An earth pony born to two pegasus parents. He's always had his head in the clouds with his ideas, but when he gets it into his head to try to prove that the skies aren't just for pegasi anymore, he'll embark on a journey that will take him all over Equestria. But can a pony without wings truly fly?

When you've reached the point of insanity, there's no going back, not really. Even when everyone else has forgotten, and you've convinced yourself that you can fit back into the world again, all it takes is one thing to make everything collapse around you.

Lyra tried to convince everyone she saw humans in the Everfree Forest. Once they grew tired of her, and started calling her insane, she stopped. And just as she starts to believe she's passed that point in her life, the river she frequently visits gives her a gift that makes her rethink everything she knows.

Author's Notes:
Woo! First One-Shot. This was pretty fun. Dark and moody description, pretty nice. Got a nifty little emo-looking photoshopped picture there, that's a nice touch. It's symbolic. Symbolic of what? Read the story to find out! (Oh, now you have to.)

Well, I'm not too familiar with the fanon about Lyra and her knowledge about humans, so I made up a lot of it for the purpose of this story. If something doesn't fit with what the community at large agrees on, I'm sorry, kind of. It's all fiction anyway.

I don't write shipping stories, but for all of you that are crazy about it, I left some room open for interpretation about weather L+BB were in a relationship. Honestly, I don't care, and I don't think it has any impact on the story, so I left it out. But I didn't put in anything that said they weren't. So there.

Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe, if you couldn't tell.

That's about it, I think.

You'd think that being trapped in stone would mean that, if nothing else, I could get some peace and quiet. Unfortunately, it seems that Celestia has other ideas.

She has appointed these ponies... these 'Keepers', as she calls them, to keep me entertained during my incarceration.

Honestly? I'd prefer the boredom.

Twilight discovers that a new tea shop has opened up in Ponyville with an owner a bit on the tyrannical and overlordy side. However, business seems to be booming, even if the proprietor is still totally evil... with his prices!

Big thanks to my editors Majin Syeekoh, Skeeter The Lurker, and Themaskedferret for all their wonderful help!

The awesome cover art can be found here.

After an incident at a dance club in Ponyville, Twilight is thrown out for good. To her horror, she finds out that her dancing is the cause.

How would a being like Discord want to be remembered after he's gone? Well, if you're curious, he did actually write a will. To the surprise of nobody, its contents are bizarre and mildly disturbing.

Part of the Borderworld.

Now with audio readings by NDLMongoose and MelancholyIguana.

The village had been perfect, free from the inequality and misery rampant throughout the rest of Equestria. Then Twilight Sparkle and her so-called friends arrived and ruined everything.

But all hope is not lost. Starlight Glimmer has a plan to restore her lost utopia on a much vaster scale.

After all, it's not like that purple princess was friends with anything worse.
