All rulers eventually reach a point where they must take a life to save the realm. If a ruler is just, they will never know when it will happen, and will never do it lightly. Still, such actions are necessary. Princess Celestia knows this, and has given this lesson many times.

You can find a YouTube reading of this story here!

Twilight is showing Celestia her new invention – an advanced lie detector. Without her knowledge, Luna and James asked her friends to join the presentation. But that shouldn't be a problem. After all, the mane six has nothing to hide! … right?

(This story takes place between School Daze and Heartwarming Club)

Sandbar’s family makes a visit to the school of friendship to spend the day and check up on him. Which means one thing most importantly, Sandbar gets to introduce all his friends to his baby sister! All his friends are excited and eager to get to know the little pony, that is except for Gallus and Smolder. Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on who is involved), a moment which involved a lost little filly and skipping class might change that.

Spike and the rest of the Student Six visit Mt. Aris, where Silverstream can't wait to show off her culture. Her brother, Terramar, offers to take them out for a swim, but he hasn't had much experience transforming dragons. Hijinks ensue.
