This story is a sequel to Leap of Faith

Part of the Bloodlines Continuity

In the final days of King Sombra's reign, the Crystal Empire's last free ponies gather together for one final effort to oust the usurper king from his throne.

With no help in sight from Canterlot and Sombra's domination all but complete, the Empire's only hope now are four ancient artifacts created by Star Swirl the Bearded, mystical items of such ruinous power that they had to be locked in another world to keep them from being abused.

One pony. One magic mirror. One thousand years ago.

A whole world of adventure, filled with new and familiar faces alike.

The untold chapter of the Crystal Empire's darkest hour begins here. Join Emerald Edge in her quest to return to Equestria to defeat Sombra, eventually leading up to the founding of the Assassins' Creed seen in Leap of Faith!

For a human that ended up in an alien world full of talking ponies, you've been living a surprisingly boring life. Sure, you have friends and go on adventures and stuff, but you don't really have a "purpose" per se. At least, you didn't until about a month ago, when a "heinous villain" that had been turned to stone went missing from Canterlot. Now, there's a washed-up queen crashing in your basement and stealing your love.

If only you could get her to admit that she doesn't actually steal it from you.

The Unity Crystals had been acting oddly for a few days, piquing Sunny and her group’s interest. The artifacts' power was unknown, holding untold secrets of the ancient world within them, but what it bestows upon them is beyond any of their wildest imagination. With endless questions, and an absolute need for more information, the ponies begin a journey to find some kind of an answer.

Leading them to the forgotten ends of Equestria, the path to their goal sends them through the ancient world where the foundations of friendship itself were laid. Though the answers they search for may be better off unanswered.

Sunny knew of the ancient world, the Elements of Harmony, and the six ponies that saved Equestria time and time again. She'd learned how the Element bearers' stories started, and how they ended, all except one - Twilight Sparkle. She always dreamed about learning more of her hero, but never would have imagined how she and her friends would soon become entwined in her tale.

Time can do many things, and for the idol of friendship, it can be her undoing.

This story was started and heavily planned when only Chapter 2 of Make Your Mark was available.

Shortly after Queen Chrysalis' defeat at Canterlot, her army is demoralised and hungry, and the Queen herself is at her wits end - having locked herself in her bedroom, presumably to spare her subjects from her upcoming mental break in a short moment of compassion.

The Queen that leaves the room is far different from the one that entered it.

Queen Chrysalis, seemingly revitalised in her entirety, declares a change in course for her and her subjects. She promises to lead them to a new battlefield... and she swears victory in her name.

The age of chaos has come to an end. The Avatar of Chaos, Discord, has been defeated by the valiant actions of the newly-minted alicorn sisters. Their courageous victory has earned them the adoration of their hometown of Evergreen, and they now seek to unite all of ponykind under their banner.

In the disconnected world left in the wake of Discord's reign however, theirs is not the only story to be told. Not all of them even start in their world, for that matter.

Geralt is a unassuming man living a comfortable but mundane existence. While not dissatisfied with his own life, he has always dreamed of what it would be like to make more of himself. To be able to live a life of adventure and glory, to steer the wheels of history.

Fate has smiled upon on him and granted him the opportunity to do so when he is swept away by a chaotic winter storm across worlds, finding himself in a new feathery body. He soon finds himself taking the first steps and rising above anywhere he thought he could reach as he defends his new home, and begins to build a shining beacon of prosperity that will resound throughout the ages.

But victory comes only to the prepared, and the road to his dreams will be long and hard. It is world filled with all manner of mysteries, monsters, and rivalries. A world where a land is kept safe by the armies that it fields. And so Geralt will resolve to stand tall, to defend his lands and his people, and to see his banner flying forevermore.

This story is a sequel to Little Lost Raichu

It has been over a month since Nica woke up in the Everfree Forest, lost and devoid of memories of her past. Twilight and her friends accepted her, nursed back to health, fed her and provided her with a place to live, and she put her own life on the line to protect them.

Now with more pokemon being summoned into Equestria and Twilight researching a way to send them back, Ash’s Pikachu finds himself lost in a dangerous forest far away from his home. How will he react to the residents of this new world and their culture? And how will he react to a kind female Raichu who wish for nothing more than to make his stay as memorable and pleasant as possible, showing him the kindness that the ponies showed her.

Will their friendship bloom as Nica shows him the wonders and magic of Equestria and introduce to befriended ponies, or will their clashing ideologies and Pikachu’s competitive spirit towards his evolution lead to awkward situations and get in the way? Only time will tell.

PS: Reading prequel is not needed to understand this story, but I encourage to check it for those who want to learn more about Nica, her backstory and her time in Equestria.
