You'd think that being trapped in stone would mean that, if nothing else, I could get some peace and quiet. Unfortunately, it seems that Celestia has other ideas.

She has appointed these ponies... these 'Keepers', as she calls them, to keep me entertained during my incarceration.

Honestly? I'd prefer the boredom.

FEATURED ON THE FRONT PAGE - THANK YOU TO ALL THE READERS!

Every Fifty years a special reunion is held by the many creatures of Equestria and its neighboring nations to maintain the peace that they have known for so long. This year much has changed. Equestria is on the brink of war and only one Princess has what it takes to prevent it. Rainbow Dash, daughter of Celestia and Heir to the throne. Bonds of friendship will be tested and some friendships will become more, while others are torn apart at the seams.

(After thinking over all the hate-mail i received on this story and everything the fans of this have told me, I've changed the story a bit. I feel I was a bit too harsh on Gilda. I've added in the missing scenes that were removed before due to fear of what people would think, and I've changed a few more things that were bugging me when i first wrote it.)

Partially inspired by Sun and Stars Please go read it, the story is awesome and the writer is even more awesome.

When the world turns upside down for the Kingdom of Equestria, is it impossible for it to recover? When final words are spoken, all of Equestria will be forced to take sides. A select few must shoulder the burden of restoring balance to the kingdom, doing whatever it takes to bring back the peace, risking the sacrifice of all they hold dear.

With the time she has left, Rainbow Dash seeks what is truly important in life before moving on.

Luna is no longer Nightmare Moon, and has returned to rule Equestira once again, but not everypony is so ready to forgive. When a secret organization kidnaps the Elements of Harmony and threatens to murder Luna, Rainbow Dash must go back into the memories of her ancestor Firefly, to learn the ways of the Assassins to fight this new terror and save the new princess, as well as her friends.

Deep in the Royal Library is a book. A terrible book that is said to send whoever reads it mad. A book so dangerous that it has to be hidden away and secured with chains to prevent it from ever being opened.

A book which has just been accidently checked out by Spike on behalf of Twilight Sparkle.

The Star In Yellow is rising once more, and only Rainbow Dash and Spike can save Twilight before it's too late. Ideas live forever. Ponies do not.

This fic is loosely inspired by the 19th century story 'The King In Yellow'.

Little is known about Rainbow Dash's past, but as Ponnyville's first ever rock concert hosts the performances of her favourite band the "Night Ravens," terrible events begin to unfold, showing the true horror behind Rainbow's first ever Sonic rain-boom and how Big Mac knows far more than anyother pony when concerning the Rainbow maned Filly, and he begins to notice the leaad singer of the band, "Kydo" and the drummer "Dirt" seam suspicious, and the simple earth stallion begins to worry for his friends...

When Alphion, the spirit of darkness erased Rainbow Dash from history he went to the spirit of time, Temporaz. He fooled Temporaz into erasing Rainbow Dash from history. Her removal screwed up the timeline and the temporal flow. This caused the worlds of Equestria and Earth to slightly merge, transforming Anne Halavan into a pony. She meets up with Rainbow Dash and Blitz, who work together to find out how this happened. With Temporaz weakened from the merging timelines and Angealla weakened from resurrecting Dash and Blitz, Alphion's power continues to grow. Yet again, he plans to strike at Equestria....

Sweetie Belle goes missing one day. She is found near the Everfree Forest beaten and bloodied. With no evidence of how she ended up there, life returns to normal. Until Rainbow Dash gets signs that another pony is going to disappear next. Soon all of Equestria is dragged by the black shadows into an unending nightmare. Only one pony can free Equestria, but at a cost.

There’s one particular pony who is unaccustomed to defeat. She has never backed down, never given up, and always plowed on through adversity with a shining determination. Even when detained and questioned about her friends whereabouts and actions, Rainbow Dash remains steadfast, loyal, and never knows when to quit.

This was just a small idea I had while brainstorming. It's a story to get me back in to the creative description mode that I need to fall in to write a really really really good story.

What was I supposed to tag this anyway? Oh well. Critical comments preferred.
