Link to the sequel! Where Is My Love?

This story is a sequel to Skeletons in the Closet

After her harrowing encounter with a Skeleton, Celestia uses all her magic to summon a valiant hero to defend her.
However if you want to kill a Skeleton you have to be a Skeleton.

When her spell is completed she finds she hasn't just summoned any man, she has summoned Skeleton-Man.
Part man, part Skeleton, all hero.

The Human race is dead and gone, but their Skeletons live on in Celestia's closet.

Smaug is the mightiest of all beasts in Middle Earth. No creature can match his prowess. As the last of his kind, he has no obligations to anyone being other than himself. The only thing he cares about is his hoard.

But this new creature, this alicorn, may just change that.

Camping has never been Rarity's favorite activity, but she got to pick last anniversary's, so it's only fair that Applejack gets to pick what to do this time. When their trip goes wrong, however, it's up to Rarity to fix the problem herself. No matter how much she might complain about it.

Now with an audio production by TheLostNarrator! Go check it out!

Princess Celestia orders the invasion of Earth. Things don't go as planned.

In it's most recent years, the Kingdom of Equestria has found itself fallen victim to a staggering number of potentially world-ending threats. By chance and the power of friendship however, all of them have been defeated and eliminated before they could topple the Ponies' diarchy, thus preventing the ending of the era of peace.

They've overcome a powerful, chaotic spirit; the wraith of an ancient, evil king; the might of an entire invasion from an army of shapeshifters; and the hellish fury of a demonic lord. However, nothing could prepare them for their newest threat.

Can harmony and friendship defeat the most feared being in the galaxy?

-I OWN NOTHING-

Sometimes growing up means more than just time passing. For some, it means letting go of what they hold dear and moving onto greener pastures. And for others, it means becoming what they never wanted to be in the first place.
