During the tumultuous times of the late 1000s and early 1010s his was a voice of reason amidst the chaos that took Aris by storm, and it can be stated without question that him and his writings were very impactful on Arisian society as a whole.'' ~ Princess Skystar, Eagle amidst the Hawks, 1048

This story is a sequel to Rainbow Dash and the Darkwing Pony

Equestria is about to experience the first Winter Games, and for the first time ever, young ponies are allowed to join in the games. Diamond Tiara decides to join the hockey team, but not every pony is happy to hear she's joining, and to make matters worse, when Diamond Tiara makes a discovery about one member in her family, she's left to wonder if she really does belong.

This trilogy is set in the same universe as my previous novels like Sunset's Redemption, Sweetie Belle's Big Adventure and Rainbow Dash and the Darkwing Pony. It's set after the events of Season 7, and was inspired by Disney Pixar's Cars 1 Movie. It's also set around the time of the Ponyville Mysteries Novels.

This story is a prequel to What does it mean to be?

Twilight Sparkle has a problem.
And she needs to fix it.

It's been a month of blank thoughts and no creativity, and Rarity is at her whit's end. She needs to find a solution to her dilemma lest she goes mad.

Starlight may just hold the key.

Update 10/02/2024: I have since decided this story is non-canon to my main project after re-polishing my alicorn (and Opaline) lore. However, all characters who both appeared and were named are still canon (i.e. Opaline still exists)

It has been over one thousand years since the alicorns went extinct. Well, not truly extinct.

The centaur known as Tirek was led to Skyros by the Alicorn of Fire, and soon, Skyros fell, and with it, all of the alicorns within.

One alicorn who escaped hid himself from the world. He believed all of his fellow alicorns save for Opaline to be dead. Only now is he visited by a stranger who will prove him wrong. One who knows far more than she should.

“From the beginning, you know the end.”

“The main character’s name and identity are never mentioned.”

There’s a concept that is somewhat important to this story that I couldn’t find a good place to insert, so I’ll just explain the concept here:

Once every few generations, a special unicorn is born. These unicorns are called “Flares” for the tendency for their magic to flare up randomly as they grow up. While other unicorn foals can have magic flares (like Pumpkin Cake for example), a true flare is marked by magical power that flares up and stays up once they get their cutie mark.

During times leading up to great strife, the gaps between the births of flares would close. In fact, if threat was great enough, the gap between the births of unicorn flares could be as little as one year. If you were to measure the gaps between flare births, you could pretty accurately predict when the next threat is to occur (although Celestia, was really the only one paying attention and already knew about the return of Nightmare Moon)

Over the course of G4, we’ve become aware of not one, not two, but six unicorn flares: Twilight Sparkle, Starswirl the Bearded, Clover the Clever, Sunset Shimmer, Starlight Glimmer, and Luster Dawn.

And there are equivalents for pegasi and earth ponies, but they are much rarer

Shining Armor endures the typical and everyday trials of dealing with an infant daughter as he attempts to simply feed her, play with her, and put her down with a nap. However as the day goes on he finds his mind drifting off and his curiosity is piqued by small things like "what does baby food taste like?" and "how fun could these toys really be?"

Off and on with dealing with portals of other worlds with scary and friendly entities for the past few years a special group of creatures pops up that every pony hopes aren't are new allies in friendship this time.

A series of one-shots of ponies meeting the beings known as pokemon ensues. Mostly fluff pieces that came to my mind though you can request what ponies meet what pokemon and how if you want.
