The Zebrahara is the most inhospitable place on earth. Yet even here, life holds on and invades. In a small Zebra village, a shaman dances a terrible ritualistic dance that unleashes a tide of death so strong that it pulls in Equestria and it's brave and loving ponies. As Celestia sends the Royal Army to assist the bewildered Zebra King, she and her loyal soldiers witness first hand the true face of madness. These are stories of the Mad God King D'Jalin and the Dance of Blood.

To Prevent All Other Breaking-- Bic Macintosh writes a distraught letter home from the front in the final days of the War.

Trains are the fastest way to move something across Equestria, no matter how big. A heavy stone sarcophagus, for instance, one brimming with dark magic. The Royal Guard just launched a raid to retrieve it from the hooves of sinister cultists.

Now, the survivors of that raid are stuffed in a train crossing the wilderness. Just them, the skeleton crew, and the sarcophagus. Guarding it until they can get reinforcements at the next station ought to be easy. After all, there’s nothing else alive for miles. Right?

Wrong. There’s something on board with them. Something after the sarcophagus. Something that doesn’t care what stands in its way.

In the silence and comfort of the Royal Canterlot Library, a young Twilight Sparkle considers her future while studying the words and thoughts of Princess Celestia's previous students.

This story is a sequel to The Silent Wind

Twilight has awoken in an abandoned world, her memories seemingly scoured from her mind, while the sun and moon's magic is slowly dying.

And yet throughout it all, it feels like the heaviest burden are the wings on her back.

This story was a gift for my mate Zon, and he requested a fanfic of one of his fanfics.

NOTE: This story is a Silent Wind sequel, however this is not the whole story. This is also a sequel to Shadow Within. Reading this other fic first will make certain events in this fic more understandable, but, choosing to unspoiler that link and read the other fic first will also spoil the reveal of this in this story. The story itself is comprehensible either way, so the choice is left up to the reader.

The story is finished and will be published daily until finished.

Thanks to all who helped, particularly Drider and Bike without whom I wouldn't have worked out how to publish

It's not uncommon for Ponyville to be quiet when Twilight wakes up before dawn. But this morning it's too quiet.

This story is a sequel to Tomorrow Was Beautiful

Tomorrow terrified her, because she had no way of knowing what was going to happen.

But if Tinker was able to overcome that, maybe she could stop worrying.

She'd do anything to make that happen.

This is a sequel to my friend Flashgen's story, Tomorrow Was Beautiful and was submitted for, and eventually won, the Quills and Sofas Speedwriting Group's 3rd Expanding Universes Contest.

It should be noted, though this is a spoiler, that this story also expands on my story Onkalo which was itself a sequel to another Flashgen fic, Pneuma. Going into the fic knowing this will spoil some of the content, but will make a couple of details clearer. That said the fic is very much understandable without this. The choice whether to go in blind or not is left to the reader.

This story is a sequel to Pneuma

Love can bury you.

This story is a companion piece to Flashgen's Pneuma and was submitted to the Quills and Sofas 'Expanding Universes Contest'.
It was based on a smaller version of the Flash's story which can be found here. Please read this smaller version before reading this story as this piece won't make sense out of context. And read Flash's expanded piece here on fimfic too!
Thank you to Rice for the amazing coverart!

"Do you believe in ghosts?"

The question from Rarity is sudden, and while Twilight may not believe in them, she's curious enough to listen. It must just be a story, after all.

Edited from an entry into the Quills and Sofas Speedwriting contest "Seer's Spookfest #2". We were given no prompt, other than writing a horror story.

Special thanks to my friend Seer for hosting the contest, as well as all of those that gave feedback during it.
