Over the past several months, Twilight Sparkle has been translating an old journal. At the onset, the activity simply served to appease the mare's curiosity and to help her learn the Ancient Equestrian language, but she finds the closing entries of the journal to be far more important than she had anticipated. These are the closing entries of the journal of Stargazer, Luna's royal astronomer some 1,000 years ago.

First Story I've written...in a LONG time!
Luna decides to test a new type of game system, and the first game on her list, Trade Wars...
This should be interesting

Note, this was Made in Google Docs and looks a lot better on it, Here's the link
Highly recomend reading this with the Dark background!

Trade wars is not a made up game Here For info on said game I'm sure anyone who has played it has experienced something like this...

This is based of something that happened to me not long ago, and i mean the EXCAT SAME THING... Made into story form for those who experience anything similar. Such as Getting hit by a critical in Pokemon right where it mattered most, falling into lava after long time of mineing and losing all your diamonds and everything else, overlooking one detail and then getting killed right at the end of a seige that took well over an hour in FIre emblem ( and you can't save progress during one of those events, which is great), Or any other moment is a game that made you go "OH THAT IS BS!"

New! Part 3: After Twilight notices Applejack becoming increasingly obsessed with the game, she tasks Pinkie Pie (of all ponies) to keep an eye on her. The two head out into Ponyville in search of adventure and the perfect game.

Part 1: Twilight has finally convinced Applejack to join her other friends in Spike's weekly D&D game. However, will she be able to figure out the rules before they all drive Spike crazy?

Part 2: Applebloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle have stumbled across Twilight's D&D books, and convinced her to take up the dice once more. But will anypony meet their high standards to be their Dungeon Master? More importantly, what will happen when you-know-who finds out?

The air rushed past her ears with a howl, the currents cutting at her skin as she dived towards the earth. An irrepressible smile spread across her face as her mane waved behind her in the wind, only to have the smile wiped away as what awaited her on the ground made itself known.

[2nd Person] [Silent Protagonist] [Pinkie Pie] [Romance]

After retiring from your music career as a talented musician in Canterlot, you move to Ponyville to live out your days in peace and tranquility. However, when a certain pink party pony forcibly involves herself in your life, you wonder how you're going to survive this onslaught of randomness, her obsession with parties, and why she can't keep her hooves off your hat.

Rated T for Mild Language, Suggestive Situations, and Black Top Hats.

There has always been a little voice in Twilight Sparkle's head, whispering dark musings to her. And until her brother's wedding, she has managed to push those bitter thoughts away and focus on the good. She forgives and forgets and holds onto hope.

But when her friends turn their backs on her and her brother cuts her from his life, Twilight finds herself alone, with only the little voice to comfort her.

And it is through anger and hate that has been repressed for so long that Twilight finds the power to rise up. Harmony and Friendship have only brought her pain and suffering. It is time for her to embrace her dark side. No longer will she worry about what others think. Twilight is going to live her life how SHE chooses: without friends, without family, without love and without harmony. She is going to cut loose, have fun, and screw what others think.

For her friends and family, it will soon become apparent that if they don't find a way to mend the damage they've done to the lavender mare...Twilight Sparkle might be lost to them forever.
