This story is a sequel to How Much Is Freedom Worth?

Aphid, a changeling, is now free of the cage that held her, and the life she'd been forced to live as part of the changeling swarm. Employed now as a maid for the family that helped free her, she struggles to understand something that she's never had before...
Freedom.
But the past has a strange habit coming back to haunt us, and it seems as if every employee in the Mason de Bleu has a secret... including Howe, the changeling who serves as the head butler.

Tonight, you will hear a knock at your door. When you open it you will be treated to a horror beyond imagination. Your eyes will behold the equine form, dead and bloodied, for some reason you may never know reanimated by mechanical parts. The stench of decayed flesh, along with the inexplicable scent of cooking meat will flood your nasal cavity. Your ears will be assaulted by clanks and whirs of the crude cyborg nightmare.

This is Lyra Heartstrings, whom something terrible has befallen. If you turn her away she will surely be put out of her misery by police or military forces once reported. But if you take her into your care, she has a chance.

She may never know your name, see your face, hear your voice, but you can do the right thing.

What happens when all the colors fade? When Rainbows turn grey? What happens when the Rainbow you gave your whole life to disappears? Sometimes, even though it seems that the colors in your world may have vanished, all you need is a friend to bring them back.

Twilight Sparkle finds the answers to these questions when one of her closest friends passes on, even though it seemed like a living nightmare, she finds that it has opened her friends and her very own eyes that true friends transcend even death itself.

I am not doing anymore changes to this story (except for grammer and spelling). I feel that this story was written with most of my sorrow thrown into it so I don't want to spoil that.

"Josh, Anya. I know you two can hear me. Listen, I've just discovered something horrible about the Mane Six, something that threatens every single one of us! They're already searching the globe for me! You have to hear this before they find me!"

As always, let me know what you thought once you're finished reading. Hope you Enjoy!

To ponies, the Windigos are some of the worst beings imaginable, but for young Orli, they are the brethren she is proud to accept. For too long, she felt that pony society would only accept her from afar, and so she chooses to provide unseen aid as her kind has done for centuries. But as she recalls the brave actions of her mother, she inadvertently performs one of her own, one that leads her to a sudden epiphany: perhaps enemies don't always stay enemies...

For the Equestria Daily Outside Insight contest.

Trixie has struggled to live after her magic duel with Twilight. Ponies everywhere have heard of how she kicked the pony who saved Equestria twice out of Ponyville. She was starving, practically homeless, and was about just to give up on life that is before she is offered to be Princess Luna's student in Canterlot. Before she knows it, her life changes drastically. She gets reunited with family, becomes stronger and famous than her rival, makes friends, and even saves Equestria from a growing evil that even the mane 6 might not be able to stop.

Major shout out to Ausbrony who helped edit and proofread this!!!

Sent to study the past, the lesson he learns will help unlock his future.

Friendship is Magic.

A big thank you to Luminary for pre-reading!

Princess Celestia has been keeping a dark secret from her subjects for a very long time.

It's not an easy truth to tell, but if anyone can accept her after learning it, it will surely be her most faithful student.

[Featured on EQD 21/4/2014] [Now on TVTropes]

When Luna gifts Twilight the town of Ponyville and its surrounding countryside as her demesne she's initially confused. Then, after double checking her dictionary, more than a little concerned.

All her friends are, legally, her possessions. The town that took her in is her plaything, if she so wishes. She has been given responsibility.

Can Twilight's vision for a modern renaissance outrun the harsh realities of the shadowy figures pulling strings behind the scenes, nobles jockeying for her attention, and an irritatingly metaphorical love triangle?

Special thanks to the insatiable Blue_Paladin42, the incorrigible Maskedferret, the intuitive Southpaw and the indestructible newbiedoodle for all their hard work, past, present and future.

(Summary is terrible) Life is a game, one each and everyone of us will play during our lives. It has plot twists, unexpected events, even tales of love but one thing is for certain, you will never know what will happen next. This is how the life of Richard Daniels plays out.
