”We all must bear our burdens, but though we keep moving forward, we also must never forget what we left behind so that we may learn from it.” --- Princess Luna


The first story in the Spiral of Fate Saga.


For centuries, scholars have theorized that it was Luna’s jealousy over Celestia’s power that made the younger princess rebel. These same scholars then wrote the very history books that foals read to this day, a thousand years later. Few, however, knew the full truth.

Luna’s fall was not some nation-wide rebellion, nor was it some jealousy-fueled tantrum. The truth was far more shameful and cruel. It had indeed been Celestia’s fault, but not for the reasons that history said it was.

And so, on this cold and somber night, Celestia remembers the day of her greatest folly.

Something evil has found Ponyville. The town's children are disappearing, each disappearance preceded by a dream of an impossibly thin stallion.

When somepony she loves is the next to vanish, one young farmer must venture into the forest to find her. Once there, she will encounter an ancient force. It is powerful. It is terrifying.

It is hungry.

Amazing cover-art by the equally amazing Swirling Line. (She's also doing a stellar comic adaptation. Stay tuned!)

This story is a sequel to The Deep


Down there in the darkness, centuries of evil
And his arms will take you deeper and deeper
God lives underwater, we all seek his kingdom
And you feel his embrace, sweeter and sweeter

For more than a month now, Rarity has been bedridden, stuck in a seemingly endless nightmare-filled sleep. Despite warnings from both Celestia, Luna and Discord, she conspires to travel to the Saddle Arabian mountains in search of answers and, hopefully, a cure.

But what she doesn't know is that these answers could lead her to a horror beyond her wildest imagination.


Sequel to my first ever horror fic, The Deep. Prior reading recommended, but not required.

Inspired by the Candlemass song of the same name and, of course, the works of H.P Lovecraft.
