Warning: Philosophically dark.

A lot has happened since Celestia and Luna disappeared nine hundred years ago. There are no wars, no diseases, no pain, no death. Princess Twilight, Discord, and Spike do everything to ensure that the utopia continues.

But even the most ideal paradises have ponies that wish it wasn't so.

Story inspired by Mister Saugrenu’s artwork 1000 Years in the Future.

Sometimes heroes make themselves through courage and skill. Other times, heroes are people who were merely at the right place at the right time, or born from the correct womb. Some are heroes for they are destined to be so. Rainbow Dash is a hero for all of these reasons; lineage, destiny, timing, and deed. Unfortunately, being a hero is hard, and not nearly as glamorous as one might expect. It could even be called undignified, embarrassing, or a needlessly cruel curse. Nevertheless, justice shall be done, no matter how humiliating. Just as long as no one sees it happen.

For over a thousand years the crystal ponies have been frozen in time by the curse of shadows, how lucky they are. While the crystal ponies are in deep slumber, King Sombra’s thoughts are restless.

Now with a Spanish Translation, by SPANIARD KIWI.

A flip of a coin. A twist of fate.

Twilight Sparkle, younger sister of Princess Celestia's personal student, Shining Armor, grew up listening to her brother's bygone dreams of joining the elite of the elite: The Royal Guard.

Now, fresh out of the Academy, this young mare is ready to prove herself equal to the deeds of the great soldiers she read about as a filly. Too bad the princess she ends up protecting isn't Celestia.

After being imprisoned once again for hundreds of years, Discord has had plenty of time to think.

What had he done to deserve this? How had he ended up in this situation again? He did everything right this time (literally becoming one of the good guys, with no ulterior motives). They still feared him. They still hated him. And in his moment of weakness, an old personality resurfaces. A personality that even Discord had struggled to put away, in hopes that it would never return...
