Everypony wants it now and then. The feeling, the feeling of the air blowing in their mane and the adrenaline of facing certain death for the glory of an ancient treasure. Sadly, most ponies are a too cowardly for a mission that is too herculean even for the toughest of stallions.

But most ponies aren't anything near Applejack.

With her farm far behind her and adventure in her blood, she sets out to find the only thing that pirates of this era have been searching for their entire lives, Blackblood's Gems. With her crew by her side and an infinite amount of explosives in stock, she's sure to take what is rightfully hers.

That is, if she can take down haywire titan clockwork ponies, defeat an old enemy, and most importantly, not dying!

When a strange young unicorn comes out of the forest exhausted from the cold of night, nopony knows exactly how to react. Her weird behavior and lack of magic skills and a cutie mark despite the fact that she's twelve years old confuse everypony. But the strangest part is she disappears into the Everfree Forest every night, and doesn't return until before the sun rises. What secrets does the odd filly keep, and why would she have to go into a forest filled with dangerous creatures every night?

Soon to be turned into a full-color comic with my incredibly talented friend Foxstar5!

Am I going insane? Darkness surrounds me. There is no light to be found. Can you feel my fear? Can you see that I am losing control? Please tell me you won't leave. I can't be alone anymore.

None among us holds all the answers in the heart of the most solemn and barren night. Have you questioned all the madness you invite? What your life is all about? Every night I struggle through it once more, bottling up myself to preserve for a time when I do not fear losing it. Every day I put a brave face on, feeling helpless to face it alone. It is hard, sometimes, to tell that I cannot change who I am, how I feel. There is no end for me.

None can imagine what I must go through, every single day, as I spiral further and further from what I need. I am not asking any to save me, however; I'm too far from the light.

Thanks to my editor, AtomicMuffin.

Sweetie Belle has something terrible happen to her and will devastate everyone mainly Rarity. It takes place in winter and this means it is quite a chill outside .

At the reading of his mother's last will and testament, Joseph Taylor is left a strange package. His only instruction being to protect the contents inside. Said items turn out to be nothing more than an old, empty journal, and an odd looking pen. What could be so important about such simple objects? But, Joseph will soon be given a rude reminder of the old saying, "Looks, can be deceiving..."

Rarity and Sweetie Belle may be on to something for the upcoming Flutter Pony Festival in Canterlot, but events a long way away threaten to derail their plans.

Sweetie Belle's show was a success. But things still didn't go as the young mare wished. Feeling that she is the one to blame, she gloomily goes to her apartment in downtown Manehattan, just wanting to be left alone. But when she enters, the sight of a familiar pony brings even more bad emotions to her inner turmoil.

Rarity's parents leave her and Sweetie Belle for an entire week for vacation leaving her to take care of her little sister.
Everything was going great until Sweetie came up with the idea of entering the Sisterhooves Social, but ended up in a huge fight causing Sweetie to run away from home leaving a note behind, but what could it be?

NOTE: Before you say anything about grammar errors, I already went through Microsoft word and fixed it the best I could, yes I can understand if errors are still existing, but I will have my proof readers look at it in the future chapters.
Thanks for understanding.

Update: Part of Chapter 2-Putting the Pieces Together belongs to my bud FreeHomeBrew.

The Noble Sir Rocinante has been turned into a frog, and the Lady Belle and her faithful squire have gone on a quest to Frogbury Pond to save him!

Or possibly Sweetie Belle is just really bored and lonely, and looking for something to do...

Takes place prior to the start of the series.
