Equestria was once a land of wonder where magic could do things beyond ponies wildest dreams and the Gods walked among mortals, It was an age of power, magic, and balance, it was the Era of Immortals

Then an event that became known as The Shattered Aeon happened and the world was never the same. What The Shattered Aeon was scholars have debated for centuries as records of this time and before are few and far between and they paint contradicting stories. All that is known is that when it was over the Gods had left the Material Plane to reside in their own divine realms never to return.

Survivors of the The Shattered Aeon were left to pick up the pieces and rebuild carving out their own kingdoms in what used to be the nation of Equestria.

It became known as The Fractured Era.

Twilight Sparkle was born to a poor family in one of these nations known as The Thronecrest Dominion and left home as a teenager to earn money for her family putting her magic and intelligence to work as a soldier for hire.

Now though Twilight is a wanted mare in the Silverspire Republic after being framed for the assassination of an Ambassador by a client, Twilight has to stay one step ahead of the authorities, bounty hunters and assassins sent by her client as a loose end that needs to be tied.

As two nations are on the brink of war Twilight Sparkle must rely on rival mercenaries as the only people she can trust, as she has to fight to stay alive by pulling back The Shadow Veil that hides the crimes of her ambitious former client.

Greeting everyone and welcome to my first real attempt a fully original AU world for MLP and I hope you all enjoy what I hope will just be the first book in a new series I am calling The Chronicles of The Fractured Era

Some art by IRUSU
And a Reply to that art by a user named Blue Spector who I can't link to do to their Twitter account being NSFW
A bit of Pathfinder
These four things came together to inspire this and I thank all Four of them for the Inspiration.

Anyways Ill let you all get to reading.

Silverstream’s breath kinda smells like fish right now and that’s the only flaw I can pin on her. Her beak and claws are polished. Her mane has that wild...windswept...thing going on.

“What’s up?” she asks.

“You’re literally perfect,” I tell her. I put a little growl into my voice to make it clear that I’m seething in rage.

Everygriff in Griffonstone knows that ponies are the most gullible little creatures under the sun, and the citizens of Ponyville might just be the dumbest of them all. On Gallus's first ever visit to the quaint little town, two weeks before school starts, he's eager to see just how much money he can make off of them.

But the ponies of Ponyville may not be as defenseless as they seem.

Ocellus confesses her horrible crimes to Counselor Trixie. Counselor Trixie seems less than impressed.

This story was going to be my entry in the 179th Writeoff contest, "I've Waited so Long for This...." But that was a minific contest, and I quickly realized this was gonna end up being way too long.

So I thought I'd enter it in the Original Pairings group's Speed Writing contest since I don't find many stories where Ocellus meets Pony Joe...or Donut Joe or Joe the Donut Pony or whatever name he goes by these days. But when Trixie shoehorned her way in to such a large extent, I abandoned that idea as well.

Here it is now, though, but not on my Baal Bunny account where WriteOff-related stories go as a rule. Because this is all about breaking the rules!

Walking home from work one night, I encounter a lost pony sitting cold and alone in the local play park.
I can't just leave her there in the rain on valentine's day

This a story about a big group of friends who keep equestria at peace even though there are other groups helping the creatures and ponies keep their peace even when Venus returns years after night mare moon's defeat.

One night, Twilight discovers a book. Much later, Equestria is no more. A human explores a desolate land in search of answers.

For some time now, more and more children have been disappearing from Ponyvill.
Parents feel helpless and everyone asks themselves: What is the reason for the disappearance? Is it a new evil force or something completely different?

Twilight and her friends also wanted to find out, but they could never have guessed what they were getting themselves into and that you will receive unexpected help.
