Thunder Lane was a good Palace guard. A fine guard indeed. But when an incident occurs that causes him to question the very bodily fibres of his good friend and companion Doctor Whooves, drastic changes are brought about.

Doctor Whooves has a secret. A very deep secret. A secret which, if it fell into the wrong hooves, could cause the holder to be Supreme Ruler of Equestria.

Perhaps the world.

What occurs when the secret is divulged unto Thunder Lane, the Pegasus? Will his mind be corrupted, or will it be used for the good of all?

Orphaned from birth, with only the memories of a soft touch and gentle voice to remember her by, Twilight yearns for her mother. What pony wouldn't want to know why they were abandoned, why they were left to be found by the Princess of the Sun herself.

That was nearly two decades ago though. Twilight was older now, and hopefully wiser. She is happy with her two best friends, Cadance and Shining Armor. They are like family to her, the brother and sister she never could have. Though dreams still haunt the young mare, dreams of lullabies and tender kisses, she has moved on.

The personal servant to the Princess of Helios, the land of the Sun, Twilight enjoyed both rank, and knowledge. But it also means that when Princess Luna comes to visit her old friend, Twilight is given the task of tending her. The Princess has come in search of marriage, at the behest of her ruling Council. They demand an heir to ward off the potentially catastrophic attacks of the neighboring dragons.

Soon, Twilight will be tested and tried. She will be given the a choice between the life she has known, and the duty she is sworn to. But never, not once, will she forget.

For who can stop loving their mother.

Scootaloo is missing. Vanished. Rainbow Dash is extremely worried about her little sister, and things soon grow form bad to worse when Goldie Delicious arrives in Ponyville to inform the ponies that Scootaloo has been taken by a creature known as Slendermane. Desperately wanting to save her sister, Rainbow Dash makes it her mission to confront Slendermane and get Scootaloo back. But could it be that it's already too late to save her?

When your life is as dull a gray as the world that surrounds you, the mundanities can make it all seem meaningless. Sometimes all we need is a little color -- or six -- to reintroduce us to what truly makes life worth living.

This story is a sequel to The Cheval Glass

It is in the nature of an enigma to confound reason, and sometimes, the bafflement caused to others is rivaled only by the confusion of the source. Pinkie Pie couldn't begin to explain how or why spending time with her Ponyville friends had slowly become a chore, or why seeing them so happy with their significant others made her heart ache. Forcing a smile became a daily routine that weighed heavily upon the once happy mare, and one day, she reached the end of her strength and retreated to the one place that she knew she could feel safe: her family's rock farm. The support and concern of her kin didn't answer the questions, though, and even removed from every reminder of what was left behind, the void only seemed to grow.

A tale of a fun-loving pony struggling to accept the realities of maturity, and of the stallion that would help her find the answers, one faltering step at a time.
