When Twilight first formed the Land Heart group to explore the deepest reaches of the land beneath the surface, she only planned to make discoveries of archaeological and possibly historic interest. She certainly didn't expect to unleash an ancient evil older than pony kind.
...she probably should have, though.
Now, her friends and her exploration group are Equestria's first line of defense against these ancient evils that have crawled out of the depths to claim the surface.

Crossover with Inhumanoids

(Note, this story takes place after season 7 and the movie.)

It had been 5 years since Chrysalis and a few changelings that didn't turn against her, found an ancient gateway, made their way to earth and took over all of America, life hasn't been the same since for humans as changelings killed innocents for no reason, torched their homes and treated them as if they were slaves. But while scavenging for food, two survivors, Morgan and Jacob meet Celestia, Luna, Twilight and her friends who claim that they are here to stop Chrysalis and help them take back their home. During their journey, they will encounter new friends, discover new and dangerous threats and uncover secrets that have been hidden for years! Will this new rebellion of different species end a raging war and bring freedom to its citizens or will it set things back for the entire human race?

This story is a sequel to The Changeling of the Guard

This is a collection of various stories, short and otherwise, to go along with The Changeling of the Guard.

They aren't absolutely necessary, but the intention is to provide some background or additional material. Things like Topaz's research notes on Changelings, stories involving the other characters, and various insane things Idol has done that don't quite fit into the main plot. They might be chipper, they might be sad, but they're all canon to the main fic... or to whoever from the story is relating them.

Chapter 1 is the Nurse, mentioned briefly in Moonlighting, who brought Idol the Nymph.

Sometimes, things don't go exactly as one plans. Sometimes one spills their coffee, sometimes they might be late to a meeting, sometimes an entire eight-person exploration ship rams a planet that they didn't notice at significant speeds.

This is one of those times, with the UGS Possibility smashing into the planet of Equus, bringing a veritable cache of impossible wonders... if only its keepers can be convinced to share it. Needless to say, every sizeable power that hears of it wants a piece of the pie, some with far less scrupulous methods than others.

On hiatus until I'm more confident in my skills to do a good first contact story, see blog entry.

Twilight Sparkle, Princess Celestia's most prized and faithful student, is being sent to Ponyville to learn about the magic of friendship.
