Being the only human would have been a great perk, but not when they abolish you as some sort of alien. You overlook the time that you have been here and ponder your next move, only to be interrupted by Princess Luna who will show you a possible future caused by your actions.

Hearth's Warming Eve. The wondrous celebration of friendship, warmth and joy, held during the most cold and unforgiving days of winter.

A reader's poll in Equestria's leading newspaper rates the Princesses by approval ratings.

One day, they find themselves and their post transported to a strange land with strange inhabitants to greet them. Now they have found the adventure they had longed for however the outcome of that adventure may not be what they expected.

(Edit: other characters that will appear will be historical figures from American History. The cutie mark crusaders are still characters. Big Macintosh, Shining Armor and the royal sisters will also appear. The new add on of Sombra was made because I have finally figured out where I would like this story to go. You'll have to wait and see though)

It is 1918. The Allies have defeated the Central Powers and now US marines and US army troops are being sent to Germany for occupation duty. Among them are the men of B company, 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment. Gunnery Sergeant Nathan Blackburn has seen the war through from beginning to finish and is relieved it is over. But when a strange cloud transports him and his comrades to a strange new land where they themselves have taken on strange new appearances, Blackburn soon realizes that his fight is far from over.

On the Day of Remembrance, Twilight observes the sombre memorial to the fallen Royal Guard ponies.

Author's note:

I borrowed and then adapted (Ponified) "Over the hills and Far Away" from Sharpe's Rifles. The original is readily available on Youtube.

When the thousand year old remains of an armored pony are found on a field outside of the Everfree Forest, the mane six investigates. What they uncover though, makes them question what they know of the events surrounding Nightmare Moon's rise and fall. More importantly, their discoveries also force them to answer a vital question:

Just what is the importance of remembering the fallen?

Author's Note: Just a short fic for Remembrance Day Week

It has been a year since Princess Cadance had become the ruler of The Crystal Empire, a year that has primarily consisted in political pacification, economic stability and the recovery of the history of the Crystal Ponies, which was erased by Sombra, any attempt of remembering how it was before Sombra raised to power is met with mental blocks that not even the best unicorns can undo.

But news flies of a secret chamber being recently discovered in the Crystal Palace, filled with objects and books that not only date before Sombra but also tells of a moment in the history of the Empire that may explain why Sombra was so decided in erasing their history.

First story, please tell me what needs to be fixed for the improvement of not only this, but ay future story I may create.

This story happened between 3rd and 4th Season, no EG.

Special Thanks to:

Swift Lance for editing the Prologue

What if in Equestria Discord wasn't just some practical Jokester, but a sinister monster that spreads misery and chaos throughout the land?

What if when Discord was defeated, through a last act of chaotic defiance, released a spell to slowly destroy their world?

What if they came to our world?

But not at its technological marvel as it is today, but at an age of chivalry, religion, and War?
