Twilight Sparkle finally graduates as valedictorian from Princess Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns and assumes the position of Headmistress at Princess Celestia’s new school in Fillydelphia. Ten years later, an unfortunate and inexplicable tragedy occurs, leading Twilight to return to Ponyville, only to realize something far worse is about to befall Equestria.

A very special thanks to my friend and editor, Rethkir, for being my proofreader/story consultant.

Princess Luna went to sleep before the Wedding of Shining Armor and Princess Cadence. But when she wakes up she finds that she did indeed miss out on a lot. Because now she has to deal with a Canterlot overrun with Changelings intent on killing her. To make matters worse, Shining Armor wasn't the only person that Queen Chrysalis brainwashed.
No pressure right . . .

Queen Chrysalis has been thrown out of Canterlot and has landed in the harsh Northern Mountains. There she meets with the one thing she fears above all else... her mother. The legendary Madora is ready to return to Equestria and crush it beneath her hoof. The changelings under Madora's command are far more aggressive, not only devouring the love around them, but killing any and all who stand in their way.

After narrowly escaping a raid on her town, a young filly makes a wish on some shooting stars, asking for someone who will save them from destruction. Little does she realize, her wish has come true.

After the death of Spike, Twilight is caught reminiscing in the memories of her five friends who have long since passed away.

Celestia receives a letter from Shining Armor and Cadence, asking for her help in destroying an artifact of dark power. Luna volunteers to go to the Empire, and takes along a single pony from both the royal and lunar guards. Their task becomes dangerous, as they discover that the artifact has a sinister intelligence directing its actions. The trio, along with a crystal pony, is pulled into a deadly struggle, not only for their lives, but for the fate of the Crystal Empire.

As the world ends, Twilight spends a final few moments with those that matter most to her.

Long before the time of the Mane 6, when Celestia and Luna were just young fillies and their parents ruled Equestria, Luna's fate unrolls like a scroll. It wasn't always sweetness and harmony in the land of ponies. Before such peace settled, there was rejection, fear, and grief.
Pain will fill the hearts of the innocent, and the guilty will get away with scandalous crimes.
Afterall, what is a life without a little chaos?

The weight of immortality has proven too great for Princess Sparkles’ weary back. Celestia, Luna, Cadance, and Shining Armor struggle to help her through the depression that racks her heart, but when she is provided a way out of the life of pain and misery, what will Twilight Sparkle chose?

After Luna had been sent to the moon for the century a lot had changed with only Celestia in charge of Equestria. “Princess Celestia of Equestria”… she had been so used to that it annoyed her so much hearing her sisters name being in charge of day and night. All she wanted was night back. All she wanted was to control night. She just wanted a little power back, just a smidge. She wanted to be cared for again. All she really wanted to hear was “Princess Luna’s night is fantastic!” Now it’s just “Celestia has been controlling the night very well, she should permanatly be in charge of day and night” But when Celestia becomes very sick and she hasn’t the power to control day nor night it can only be up to Luna.

The recently married couple of Shining Armor and Princess Cadence depart to a wonderful honeymoon in Baltimare.

A little accident happens.
