An attempt at writing adventure, and moving myself out of my comfort zone and into dialog-heavy writing. Plus, Discord! Whoo!

Twilight Sparkle wakes up one morning to a harsh dose of unreality. She is stranded, without her friends, on an island which matches no known locale on Equestria. Surrounded and harried on all sides by the alien and the dangerous, she will find her mettle sorely tested, and find perhaps that the best friends you will ever have in your life are the ones you make when your back is to the wall...

Thanks to CedricBale and noobie56xx for tracking down the name of the artist so I could give them credit.

A bizarre vortex has taken shape over the Everfree and strange ponies are appearing throughout it's confines. In the eyes of the public the ponies seem completely normal, they walk, talk, and eat just like the rest of us. But something about their visions they claim to have had before awaking is...offsetting, not to mention the fact that they just seem to appear out of thin air.

More concerned with the sudden appearances than their friends, Twilight Sparkle, Spike, Fluttershy and Angel Bunny must find out why these mysterious ponies are appearing and where they're coming from, risking it all in a quest for the truth.

Unfortunately the truth isn't always meant to be uncovered, and the Everfree is determined to prevent it from surfacing.

When Wanderer D dies, he ends up looking at two incredibly large beings that will decide his fate.

What could that fate possibly be?!

If the fact that this is posted in a MLP:FIM story archive and it has ponies listed as characters doesn't give you a clue... wonder no more and just... read.

This story has been called a 'deconstruction of self-insert cliches'... I call it: 'I need therapy.'

Inspired loosely by the letters: JG and LT. If you get the reference you know your DL well enough.

Humans... humans are such a bizarre race. Capable of the greatest benevolence and the worst atrocities. And yet, they're so very predictable. For you see, while societies may die, and nations may crumble, one thing will remain constant: the desire to survive.

I should know. I was there when everything fell.

Celestia has had enough of half-arsed promises from her loyal subjects. It's time to wear a different hat.
