(An "Equestria's First Human" side-story.)

Before the arrival of Equestria's First Human...
Before the founding of "Dragonfire"...
There was a stallion named Hellfire...
This is his story...
How it all began...

(This story has gore in the last two chapters.)

Equestria, desperate, trapped in a four-year aerial conflict against an enemy they can not beat, seeks an end to the war. Now, hundreds of miles from Equestrian soil, deep within the enemy's barren, mountainous land, an attack on the enemy force is their last option.

Slipstream’s success and the survival of her fleet, the last of Equestria’s worthy airships and captains, is based solely on the element of surprise and her own ability as fleet commander. But her fleet of the best of what’s left may not be enough to put an end to the war once and for all.

(Teen for language and gore)
GOING TO BE REWRITTEN

This is the story of a malicious ruler who let her greed consume her until she plunged Equestria into darkness and plotted to let the very ponies she promised to protect suffer.

This is the story of a ruler who ever pony trusted one thousand years ago.

THIS is the true story of what happened, one thousand years ago, when my sister decided she wanted to do things her way.

This is the story of my royal sister: Princess Celestia.

TVTropes page yay!A human arrives with a house in Ponyville. The Mane Six, and Princess Luna must deal with this new arrival. But not everyone agrees how it should be handled, not everyone agrees on what danger it represents, or the benefit it can be to Equestria.

The inhabitant must also deal with the new rules and conventions of this new world it knows nothing about, as well as the mystery of its appearance, and the incongruities of its arrival.

Ravens. The most intelligent creature to take to the air. Creatures that strike fear and give rise to superstition in the hearts of the weary and weak.
One of these creatures, Lord Noble Eyes, is a bird in need. To accomplish his mission, and to save his murder, he must come into contact with six mares.
But how does communication work, when both sides are so different?
Everything is a matter of perception.

There was only one explanation. For all of it. All of the strange, erratic behavior. Her irrational fear of the sun. Her nocturnal habits of locking herself in in the dark and closing all the blinds. Wearing her sunglasses everywhere, even inside! It was time to invest in some silver, garlic, and a wooden stake.

"Who are you?!"

Lyra wrenched her hands together, strands of teal hair falling over her golden eyes. Suddenly, she seemed so small. She didn't answer. Couldn't? It hurt to remember, hurt to say. She was lying, or maybe it was the truth, and she really didn't know.

Can Luna and her Lunar Stallions possibly hope to stop her? And if so, does Luna have the fortitude to strike down her sister in the end?

FEATURED May 16th 2012!

There was a time where ponies paid no heed to me, and I was content with that.

There was a time where all I had to comfort me were my books, and I was content with that, too.

Until I wanted more. Until I wanted someone to pull me from my loneliness, but none of the Crystal ponies would understand my social awkwardness. I'd be shunned and cast aside. So I read.

I read, searching for a friend...

But I found only a monster.

Is she really a pony-shaped citrus fruit, or is she just crazy? Does it even matter? When Lemon Dreams finds herself at odds with the ponies of Ponyville and pursued by a strangely familiar ghost, she realises she must discover the answers to those questions before it's too late.
