Everypony enjoys myths and ponytales, even if they know such things aren't real. Alicorns fighting against a spirit of chaos? An ancient princess trapped in a library under a tree, waiting to be found? Quite enchanting and fantastic tales yes, but nonetheless as fictional as Daring Do and other such stories. At least, that's what Rarity used to think.

She doesn't anymore.

Dedicated to Annuska for being as amazing a writer as she is a friend.

This story is a sequel to The Enchanted Library

It's easy to think about fairytales when you’re an ancient alicorn trapped in a library for centuries on end. It's easy to wonder how one would go about rescuing you, to think and devise and plot out how to free you in a blaze of glory, intrigue, adventure, and romance.

Or, rather, it’s easy until suddenly it happens and you’re forced to ask yourself the one terrifying question you’d yet to consider.

Now what?

PATREON!
Original story inspired by an old oneshot.

A week after moving to Ponyville, Violet Petal as already seen and experienced wonderful things such as the Elements stopping evil villains and monsters, the Castle of Friendship, and Pinkie Pie's parties. Unfortunately, she has also experienced many awful things. Including prejudices from the town's residents. For she is a Thestral, or "bat pony," to the more blunt members of society.

After one particularly bad day, she runs across a strange bipedal creature napping in the park.

Author's note: I was featured! It was for a few minutes, sure, but still!

It occurred one peaceful night. Half of Equestria awoke to the sound like a double-shot thunderclap. A percussion heard in the skies and rattling windows from Apploosa, to Canterlot, to Ponyville. Nopony knew what it was or what it heralded for the world as it drew a line across the nation.

For Twilight Sparkle, this isolated incident might have faded from memory after a time, if not for the strange rumors of a creature sitting on the hill on the outskirts of town.

These are her thoughts given written form. These are Sparkle's Notes.

Report EVERYTHING to the Princess.

North of Canterlot, in the far marches of Equestria near the border with the Griffon tribes, there is a mountain that flies.

West of Canterlot, beyond the Galloping Mountains and a desert painted in the pastel hues of a faded rainbow, a tower sits at the edge of the world.

South of Canterlot, past the Everfree forest and the desolate badlands, a city of gardens waits to be born.

This story is a sequel to The Siren's Remorse

While the Princesses try to stave off the unknown ailment that has been afflicting ponies everywhere. They keep Twilight out of the loop so she can finish her research into who might be trying to come through from the human world by force. However, conflict abroad has caused Celestia to act if only to stop a problem from surmounting Equestria's own.

The ambassadors of Cinia and Neighpon have both given word that the Cinia-Neighpon War has been underway. Threatening the peace of their region as well as the ponies who live in their countries. As one of the few nations that haven't bowed before the Princesses or pledged allegiances. Princess Celestia has to send an envoy to stabilize the countries before the conflict grows out of proportion. With the threat from the human world and the illness that has steadily gotten worse, the crown cannot afford the inevitable refugee influx or battle flooding over the borders.

Twilight Sparkle, Spike, the best the Night Guard has to offer, and a trusted few are sent to make peace, but can they do so in Dracony country? A race who live by the Way, not friendship and harmony that ponies are so accustomed to. A strange philosophy even Twilight has nothing on, no book or manuscript about the Way that leads the lives of many. Who do not view the sun goddess as their benevolent ruler, and have lived under a political agenda which has risen towards ultra-nationalism. Surely her book smarts, vast references, and her experience in evils attacking Equestria can aid her now? Many lives hang in the balance from both the darkness from another universe as well as War near home.

Can the Magic of Friendship pierce the veil of darkness that envelops the region? Or will Mustok be forced to intervene and send the forces of Stalliongrad to war as well to secure their holdings north of the theater?
