River Serenade woke up locked in a room, with nothing but himself inside. The ceiling is mostly on the floor, the wallpaper long torn away, and the walls themselves seem to be bowing under a great weight.

The only thought occupying his mind is getting out, and then getting home.

For so long, Chrysalis, Tirek, and Cozy Glow stood paralyzed in their stone cacoon; unable to move. To speak. To do anything. But that didn't mean they couldn't see or hear everything around them. For age after age.

But now they've been released from their confinement and are free to bask in a changed world. Unfortunately, the trauma of their ordeal doesn't just fade away.

An officer in the Manehattan Watch. A loving Husband. Plaything of the mare on the mountain as she weaves her tapestry of lives, thread by thread. Fairlight, the child of fate and pawn of the gods, fights against powers that throw him around like a leaf on a storm swollen river. Only time will tell whether he will become the master of his own destiny, or simply become a slave to the whims of the equestrian gods.

This story is a sequel to The Equestria Chronicles: Prelude

Rated Teen for some scenes depicting and mentioning alcohol use and drunkenness.

This story takes place during season 6 after "Gauntlet of Fire" before 'No Second Prance's' for obvious reasons. Also, the season five finale, the season five episode 'Party Pooped', The season six two-parter, 'The Crystalling,' and the rest of season six onward are not canon to this AU.

When the call of the Cutie Map beckons our heroes to embark on a life-altering quest, they find themselves traversing the perilous Crystal Mountains. Twilight and her steadfast companions brave the trials of uncharted territories beyond Equestria's borders to confront the enigmatic friendship problem marked by the Cutie Map, nestled in the distant Kingdom of Yakyakistan. But simplicity is a luxury they can ill afford, for Starlight Glimmer weaves a vengeful web, rallying her allies as she shadows Twilight Sparkle across the breadth of Equestria.

This story is a sequel to The Equestria Chronicles: Prelude

This story is part of The Equestria Chronicles Canon and part of the Travelers Tales side story collection.

While not out of her own personal choice, Applejack is left with no choice but to leave Applebloom as the mare of the house. Applejack gives her one last lesson and one last act of big sisterly love before she leaves Ponyville for an unspecified amount of time. Applebloom will have to overcome the daunting future ahead without her big sister.

A quick reaction, a seemingly normal response, yet things aren't as they seem. In a panicked decision, Twilight manages to find herself in a setting that's quite familiar but all the more strange. Where are the ponies? Her friends? Now, she only wishes to find some answers and get things back to normal. But, where to start?

A day of applebucking has Rarity fed up with Applejack. When the unicorn expresses her frustration in the oddest of ways, Applejack is left befuddled and confused. After some thought, the country mare goes to confront her friend. The discussion they have about it is nothing if not vague. Will this incident cause a rift in their friendship? Or, will it become stronger?

It's time once again for Nightmare Night and the citizens of Ponyville are ready for another night of candy, costumes, ghost stories, and more. After Twilight Sparkle taught her the true meaning of Nightmare Night one year prior, Princess Luna takes the day off from her royal duties and joins in the festivities. But when Ponyville suddenly comes under attack by a mysterious force, Luna is discovered missing in the aftermath. What's more, this force is being commanded by a malicious creature wielding a terrible power that the ponies have actually heard of, but know nothing about.

Once again, Twilight and her friends must take up the Elements of Harmony in defense of everything they hold dear, but if Equestria is to have any real hope of surviving against this force, the ponies must first unravel the mysteries of the power that threatens them.
