I have always been alone in this forest. I have always feasted in this forest. I call this forest home and those ponies that travel through it are my prey. I devour all those who fear me, all who come to face me. They fear me for I am Fear incarnate. But now...I have met one who does not fear...and I am unsure of what do with her...

The Helicoprion, a long-lived genus of shark-like cartilaginous fish that went extinct millions of years ago. This predator certainly was a strange one, seeing how its lower jaw was basically a mix of a fruit roll-up and chainsaw. I make a living studying fossils, and this guy certainly takes the cake for the number one in the weird factor. So imagine my surprise when I inexplicably turn up in Equestria of all places. As a Helicoprion. Guess it's just one of those days.

You can thank Csquared08 for the idea for this story. And I will get that seal of approval, one way or the other. Also to my kickass editor, Linkerman! Thanks for all the help, dude!

After an accident, Rarity and Twilight are thrown in a race against time to stop their transformation into changelings before they become part of Chrysalis' swarm forever.

This story, and the Kirin Chronicles as a whole, are being rewritten and published as a new story due to the size of the adjustments.

Part I of the Kirin Chronicles
-
It's Twilight Sparkle's coronation day. She's ready to go, all dolled up by Rarity, and the three Princesses await her okay on the spell. She nods. Their horns light, and a deep warmth spreads through her. She closes her eyes.

"Nn- Twilight!"

Her eyes open. Spike, running towards her. His claw brushes the magical aura surrounding her. A roll of thunder echoes, and he is thrown against the wall. The magic surrounding her rises in turmoil, battering and burning, and it's all she can do to stay awake. It ends with a snap, dropping her to the plush ground in a heap. The Princesses are crying, Spike is unconscious, and Twilight... Twilight is no longer a petty Unicorn.

But she's not much of an Alicorn either.

Echo is a high ranking changeling officer. The Canterlot invasion was going perfectly, and her battalion had personally defeated the Elements of Harmony. Suddenly, she finds herself far flung from Canterlot, crashing into the Everfree forest. Now she is faced with a difficult reality - her hive, the only family she's ever known, no longer exists, and she must adapt to life as a pony. What she finds out about herself, though, will surprise her.

Rated Teen for occasional suggestiveness and language, tagged gore for brief violence, particularly in later chapters.

Dark because later chapters get pretty ... well, dark.

Addendum 5/29/2018

This story is now, as of this addendum, five years old. It is getting more attention as I put out new chapters on the sequel.

I recognize that this story has problems, and that some of them by their nature carry over to the sequel; please remember that when I started writing this, I was not yet even old enough to legally drink in the US. A lot has happened and a lot has changed, and there are many things about this story I regret including, but which it is now too late to change. Some of those things I have simply done my best to ignore and make irrelevant, but some of them are errors from a 19 year old me that will haunt me until the sequel is finished.

In short, please be gentle.

Shining Armor and Princess Cadence forced the Changelings out of Canterlot, scattering them across Equestria. Luna flies in during the after party, and wonders what she missed.
When she finds out though, she isn't all that happy. The princess of the night, having slept through the changeling invasion, leaves Canterlot. In an attempt to aid the changelings.
Will she suceed? Or will time have broken any bridge she had formed?

AN: This is the pseudo-sequel to Stargazing Together. While it's not at all needed for this story, it will fill in some holes. And obviously I want you to go read something I wrote....

Dinky's letters to Celestia about her new role as a bearer of an Element of Harmony. Also, muffins.

I always wanted to go to Equestria. When I got the chance, I took the deal without reading the fine print. To my surprise, I didn't arrive there as a pony, or even as a human. It seems I get to view this world from a different perspective than what I've imagined.

My name is Echo. I am a Diamond Dog.

This story is a sequel to Song of Whispers

It wasn't enough for the Cutie Mark Crusaders to simply find their Cutie Marks and call it quits, and all it took was one fateful day in their clubhouse with Spike and Ruby Pinch to set into motion a chain of events that would turn their simple lives upside down. Crushes are formed, friendships are tested, and will Spike ever get to kiss Sweetie Belle? Let the passion of young love burn free.

SYNOPSIS
The Cuite Mark Crusaders, with Applejack as their caretaker, head out on a train bound for Appleloosa, ending up in an eerie ghost town. Although things seem nice enough at first, it doesn't take long for the fillies to realize something is amiss. Applejack does her best to protect Apple Bloom, Sweetie Bell and Scootaloo, but the young fillies' curious nature gets the best of them. The Cutie Mark Crusaders become reluctant heroes as they slowly uncover the mystery shrouding the darkest corners of an ancient town called Happy Hollow.

Author's Note:
This is the first story I'm submitting to fimfiction and I personally thank you if you plan on taking the time to read it. I've been working on this story for some time now, and I plan on releasing new chapters as soon as possible. This particular story will consist of five chapters. This is the first work of prose that I've created involving ponies, although I do write a web comic called "Ask Crapplejack", which you may or may not have heard of. If you have seen it, you may know what to expect from my work. I can guarantee you this is going to be a fun ride if you wish to take it with me. Thanks again for taking the time to read this. I hope you like grimdark. - Devnul
