The Grail War. Seven Masters chosen to command seven Servants; epic figures from history and myth. A battle royale to the death, the winner granted their heart's desire. But who shall claim victory, and what shall happen when the Grail manifests in the realm of Equestria? Now Trixie, Ditzy Doo, Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle, Shining Armor, Zecora, and Duke Greengrass all find themselves caught up in a fight unlike any that's occurred in Equestria before.

A crossover of the Fate series by Type Moon story set in RainbowDoubleDash's Lunaverse. Pure silliness on my part, because I dig the Fate animes and the Lunaverse is fun to play with, even in non-canon fashion.

"Those of us who have a general overview and knowledge of King Sombra regard him to be a despotic autocrat, a power-hungry potentate and a vicious oppressor. And, even if this condemnation is justified, we may perhaps not have the right reason for this attribution. This is due to the fact that before King Sombra turned to the tyrant we all know him to be, he was the greatest knight of the Crystal Empire."

A story haunts the boat docks of Equestria. Nopony knows where it's from. Nopony knows if it's real. The only thing they know, is stay the hay away from the docks at night... the only thing they know is that the victim was called Ship's Anchor.

Ship's Anchor was a young and successful sailor, scheduled to send a ship with goods for the Griffon Kingdom, but that night, everything changed, when he simply disappeared.
Let's take a deeper look into what transpired that fateful evening, a deeper look into the old folktale.

There's a reason why nopony goes out to the docks at night...

I'm planning on starting my own little series called 'old folktales' which is going to circle around ancient ponies and some form of a mythical Equestrian being. I think you can guess what creature the first one is about. Anyway, this story is running without an editor, please point out my mistakes!

After several bloody years of war, we are about to defeat King Sombra. I almost wish we would have lost.

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.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders have a simple request for Celestia, but first, they're going to talk about the sun.

I don’t know if I’ve truly died or lost my mind. What is reality, what is sanity? Are they not just a product of society, a unit to be measured? Something that can be judged, evaluated, and constricted by belief, but also something that is limited by our very biology? I’m not really sure, yet I believe myself to be sane, and have decided to embrace my own reality. One born purely from thought, bound by the limitations of my imagination. This… is a tale of ”my” reality, my triumphs, my mistakes, and the sins of a father.

Celestia: a filly of twelve. A cynical, hungry pauper, with a young sister to protect and feed.

But the food has run out. Winter has gripped the land for too long, and now the pair face starvation.

The cynic in Celestia knows she can't move the sun. But the child in her wonders... and so she tries.
