It's important for a princess to learn to defend herself. It's important for a father to make sure their daughter is happy. It's important for a guard to survive cataclysmic events.

Written for the Shining Armor is a Terrible Dad 2024 Competition

Special thanks to EileenSaysHi for editing and giving some extra ideas.

Exquisite Corpse. Like the game of telephone, but with art.

Eight authors enter. One mess of a story leaves. Zero is put back on the "days since class was interrupted by some nonsense" sign, and Cheerilee breathes a sigh of relief now that it's over. So she thinks...

Let's just hope it's as fun to read as it was to write!

This collaborative story features the talents of: PseudoBob (that's me!), EileenSaysHi, The Sleepless Beholder, FanOfMostEverything, Rego, Silver Needle, Dashie04, Bicyclette, and PseudoBob (me again!)

The worlds are changed.

Where Equestria was set to follow a familiar path of harmony and friendship, the path is waylaid by the appearance of a creature out of myth, bearing grave tidings.

On Earth at the dawn of the third millennium, a war that should have never been rages between humanity and the ones who would seek to perfect it.

For down the road less travelled, Equestria is Empire, a dark mirror of what it once was and should be.

Lyra Heartstrings, musician and dreamer, previously content to spend her life in the shadow of Princesses or their faithful students, must now decide the role she’ll play in this new reality. But within the threads that connect us all, just as even Princess Celestia can have the humblest desires, the smallest person may change the future.

Soarin is a hunter of Deviants, strange creatures that defy logic and common sense. Crippled with immense debts he has no hopes of paying off and an entity inside him that keeps misbehaving every chance it gets, he takes a chance on a random ticket to the Midnight Train. 

Everything gets worse from there.

To Gabriella, the gods have always been an unreachable wonder. They're present in everyone's lives. They protect the people, guide them, even bless them with magical abilities in some cases, turning them into legendary heroes. But they're still so far away from mortal sight, residing on the top of the tallest mountain, its peak hidden among the clouds. A simple meeting with them would answer so many questions people have about them.

So, Gabby decides to brave the mountain and reach them.

She'll only find one.

An entry in Imposing Sovereigns IV, using the prompt Starswirl/Knowledge.
