This story is a sequel to If You Came to Conquer

Princess Nightmare Moon had tried to keep it secret. She had suppressed her power, feigned ignorance, played the outdated fool at every opportunity. She should have known that something like this would happen. A threat that would reveal her, whether she played dumb or not.

If she had to reveal herself, then at least she could protect Equestria in the process. She nocked the arrow. The bow felt so flimsy, but she could not risk him absorbing a spell. She laced magic across the arrow and the string and the air, enough to make it fly faster and aim smoother. She sighted him easily; Tirek was a large target. Now he only had to turn around. An arrow to the spine would kill him simply and instantly, no matter how much magic he had absorbed.

Once he was dead, the hard part would come: explaining herself to Celestia.

Nightmare Moon won. She defeated Celestia, broke the Elements, banished the sun. This all happened a very long time ago. So long ago, that she has had plenty of time to change her mind.

Of course, fixing our mistakes is never so simple, and never without consequences. Even with particularly potent help.

This story is a sequel to Inexcusable

She looked just like Princess Celestia, except marred and broken. Her ceremonial barding had rusted slightly, and dirt matted her coat. Most noticeable was her hair; black streaks accompanied its usual multicolored luster. They looked like discolorations in an old photograph.

Worst was the scar across her chest. Her armor covered it, but nothing could hide what it meant.

The tarnished Celestia smiled at Luna. "H-hello, monster. I would say I am glad to see you, but that w-w-wouldn’t be quite accurate."

This story is a sequel to Equestria girls Hell rider

It's said that the West was built on legends. Tall tales that help us
make sense of things too great......or too terrifying to believe. This is the legend of the Ghost Rider.
Story goes that every generation has one. Some damned soul,
cursed to ride the earth. The thing about legends is...sometimes they're true.things greater than ourselves. Forces that shape our lives. Events that defy explanation. Individuals whose lives soar to the heavens.....or fall to the earth. This is how legends are born

I'm the guy who made a deal with the devil. Now I know what your thinking, does kid ever watch movies, does this ever work out fine? Well, let's just say good judgement wasn't exactly my forte. I was possessed by an ancient demon, in the presence of evil, I change into a monster, and I pray on the wicked, and I suck out their souls. And you don't want to be around when that happens, see there's good and bad in all of us, and maybe you're not a murderer, but you did something that you didn't want the Rider to see, a white lie, and illegal download, what about you? And you? I've tried to fight it, to hold it back, but the darkness inside me only get's stronger. That's why I had to run, halfway across the world, and I'm still running. My name is Blizzard wind, and I'm the Ghost Rider.

Check out the prequel now out. Flutterschmooze and the direct sequel Wanna Play?. All stories of the series have been linked here.The Truth behind My Little Pony.

[Just as a heads up for new readers, the comments section is very spoiler heavy]

Manehatten, long held as a shining jewel of Equestria, a city where dreams can happen. For Sweetie Belle, those dreams of sharing her voice with the world have just come back to life. Coupled with her work at her sister's boutique in the big city, along with her friends and fame, everything seems to be coming together for the mare among the stars. Meanwhile back in Ponyville, Rarity's keen eye and business sense remain unhampered by her advancing age, letting her nationwide chain of stores flourish in a time of peace.

If only everything remained so simple.

A shadow looms over Manehatten, a serial criminal known as The White Phoenix, eluding the city police and burning all in it's path. Within the walls of the boutique, a unknown individual is bleeding the business dry without leaving any trace of identity. While one may be more severe, neither can go ignored, especially as Rarity still knows a thing or two about tracking down crime. With their wits, fitting outfits, and a friend in the MPD, Rarity and Sweetie Belle must head into the darker reaches of Manehatten to bring it's safety back into the light.

Proof-Reading by my BFF Deep Note

Part of the Quickverse, references are made to Rising Above, Heart and Mind and I Knew Him but none are required reading.

A fun, delightful romp in which Twilight learns an important lesson about friendship, harmony, and why cobalt-jacketed atomic weaponry is a bad idea.

(cover fixed, apparently there were some technical difficulties)

Discord found love, and Equestria peace, through his union with Fluttershy, till death do them part.

But what happens after that?

Reading by Scribbler

War is brutal. It asks you questions with no right answers. It leaves scars on your body and mind.

War is a game in which you will always lose.

And Rainbow Dash might've just lost everything.
