This story is a sequel to Stories in Stone, Capricorn's Curse

All Stories must end, even those in Stone.

The final book of the Stories in Stone saga.

Warning, this is a particularly depressing book and if you like how the others ended i would suggest stopping there. There is little of my humor or usual writing in these chapters. How ever if you want to see how everyone in SiS met their ends, continue.

Tales in Stone is a compilation of short stories from the Stories in Stone universe. This is a open collection and any one who wishes to write a short story in the SiS verse is more than welcome to do so.

Primarily I would like the stories will focus on the backgrounds behind one of the countless statues in the Canterlot Royal Gardens. While primarily considered a prison, this has not always been the case and the Garden could contain nearly anything.

That is not to say it is required that a submitted story be about the Garden. Other figures in the SiS verse could be written for this.

I will be adding short stories of my own from time to time as well. Things that fit into the SiS continuity , but do not have a place in the series itself. This seems to be what goes here the most.

This is a compilation of a rather long story that starts with Stories in Stone, Luna's Royal Guard, and continues in SiS, Memories of Twilight, and SiS, Lost Empire.

Please have a look at the first two at least before checking this collection out as you may become a bit lost with some of the content.

Book 4 of Stories in Stone
Capricorns Curse

This story is a sequel to Stories in Stone, Luna's Royal Guard.

The face of Equestria has changed dramatically. The Lunar Republic emerged from the War of Night victorious over the forces of Equestria and the rest of the world.

That was a thousand years ago. The impact of this darkened past had great consequences on the future.
With Nightmare Moon and the Five Beasts ruling over this new world, what impact would it have on the stories we all know, and the ponies that inhabit Equestria?

Twilight Sparkle grew up and lives in this world with all its flaws. Though she has known nothing else, perhaps there is a way she can still save it.

Sometimes, choosing love is not the right decision.

Stories in Stone alternate reality fic.
Reading SiS: Luna's Royal Guard is not really needed for this story to make sense as it will be a stand alone that explains itself, though reading the first book will help in understanding some things. Including who most of these extra ponies are.

I have to be in a certain frame of mind to write this fic, so the updates are.... varied. This is also a far cry from my newest works.

As always with my work Sex tag has to be clicked for a number of scenes, but there is no out right clop, mostly just implied, suggested and hinted at.

This story is a sequel to Stories in Stone, Luna's Royal Guard.

The Canterlot Royal Gardens: a complex prison housing some of the greatest threats Equestria has ever known, sealed in stone. But what happens when something goes wrong, and some of these threats are freed?
Twilight Sparkle and her friends are again called to defend Equestria from an attack that the Royal Sisters are unable, or too afraid, to deal with. But can six ponies raised in a time of peace be any match for creatures who knew nothing but war and conflict?
Perhaps the only hope Equestria may have lies in another set of the gardens residents: the Five Beasts of the Moon, Nightmare Moon's generals, the very ponies who helped her nearly destroy Equestria a thousand years ago.

[This is a direct sequel. Please read,

Season 3 is not accounted for in this fic.

Twilight discovers the true purpose for the Canterlot Royal gardens, much to Princess Celestia's annoyance. Knowing her student will seek answers with or without her permission, the Princess gives Twilight a new subject to study, the story of five of the garden's occupants, their connection to Nightmare Moon, and the dark days of the War of Night.

Warning: Comments are encouraged, but spoilers are present in the comments.

Fic is currently undergoing a very slow revision. Revised chapters will have a (R) in the title.
I've also added chapter numbers for a bit more ease of navigation. Mostly on my part.
This is a project that I will slowly be working on Bringing my first major story up to snuff. I shall also be fixing plot holes and clearing up some issues that certain parts have that may contradict the lore later on.
This will only be worked on sporadically unfortunately as I need to be in certain mind sets to do this.

Original story was posted in 2011.
