Matrix, Captain Matrix, that's all he's known as, nobody knows his real name, for its hidden by his past life so well that even he tends to forget,

19 years old, 19 years old and yet he's accomplished so much, but experienced things that nobody should go through at such a young age.

He became a pilot for the royal air force, performed well and made a reputation, made a few friends but was an outcast, a freak to most all because of what he was.

That didn't phase him, none of it, but what did though was the loss of the remaining family he could ever hold close to him.

Now, now he takes flight for the last time on earth, before approaching the brink of death and entering a new world, a world he could only ever think of being in his own dreams.

But what could happen to him here, here in this new world?

Who will he meet?

Will his life change for the better?

Or will he crash and burn again, just like before......

On hiatus until I find the time, effort and self esteem to re-write the entire story.

Luna has been feeling lonely lately and wants a windigo as a pet, just as her sister has Philomena.

Not all tasks are trivial, however.

One dark and windy day, a cowgirl finds herself resting upon a ridge. But she has sins in her past, sins she'd like to forget. This old gunslinger might need a lesson from a famous figure from the past if she wants to keep herself from riding that range up in the sky, trying to catch the Devil's herd across that endless trail...

(Based on the old country classic "Ghost Riders in the Sky" written by Stan Jones. All rights to the song go to him, and I make no money off adapting his work.)

He had it, everypony's dream. But what happens when fate delivers a blessing and a curse in the same breath? What is given is taken away, leaving one young colt to pick up the pieces. After the death of his father, he travels from town to town in search of answers and a way to repair his father's last gift to him. According to his out-dated map, the next stop in his journey was a small, unimportant town. A town by the name of Ponyville.

This story is a sequel to The Mare In Gold

When a Royal Guard of the Crystal Empire finds an abandoned changeling foal, she takes in the infant and raises it as her own daughter. It’s love at first sight, and the bond that forms between them gets the guard in a lot more trouble than she bargained for.

Up Next: Black Gold

When Princess Celestia is found dead, a new ruler must take the throne. Without the Princess's leadership, many opportunist factions find themselves free to act as they see fit. Until now, Equestrian politics had often been overlooked, thanks to the benevolent Princess of the Sun wisely presiding over them. Now, betrayal and secret plots run rampant in Canterlot's court. Five ponies are sent to the different corners of Equestria in an attempt to save their broken nation.

Three years ago, ponies discovered Amaranth, a desert world of ancient, abandoned technology and countless mysteries. It has become the frontier for the unscrupulous, the adventurous and the dispossessed. Salvor airships ply the skies, pirates prey on the weak and idealists seek to unify the disparate.

Three months ago, Scootaloo left Equestria for Amaranth. She hasn't been heard from since.

Now Sweetie Belle searches for her lost friend, to find her, tell her the truth, and bring her home. But as she does so, she stumbles upon a great and terrible secret sought by a number of dangerous and powerful creatures. A secret that explains the shared history of Amaranth and Equestria and could spell the end of both worlds.

Primarily an adventure tale with aged-up Scootabelle shipping as a plot element.

Seven years. For seven years she was neglected. In that time, she was underpowered, defeated by a nag in the moon, defeated by an evil bug roach, a victim to tentacle vines, defeated again by the same evil bug roach as before, as well as many other slights and insults in between.

All she wanted was one episode of her own, one to show her glorious personality in all of its radiant glory. Unfortunately, it was not to be. Her impressive record as the longest living and serving monarch (now diarch, lots of love to dear, dear Little Luna), brokering peace and prosperity the likes of which no other nation could hold a candle to! Or a sun, for that matter.

Time to do something about that.

Princess Twilight has just ascended to her throne of friendship and is prepared to tackle her new duties, but Princess Celestia has something of grave importance for her to do first.

She wants her to meet her family.
