Discord has most of the world in his thrall: Equestria is overrun, the elements of harmony missing. Amidst the Chaos The crystal Empire is about to see a new ruler emerge. Prince Sombra will have to attend his dying fathers wish, to find a new way to protect the Crystal Empire from the threat of dissolving into chaos.

Can he do it? And if so, how far will he go to protect that which he loves?

Octavia is what you would call a prude mare. She has certain standards, and won't fraternize with the grunting, babbling buffoons that make up "popular" and outwards ponies. She keeps to herself.

Vinyl is Octavia's complete opposite. She may very well be one of the "popular and outwards" ponies that Octavia has grown to dislike. Or is she?

Differences and similarities are tested to their limits as the two of them start to learn that there is more to the world than their own personal corners of it.

While Nightmare Moon's "Eternal Night" grips Equestria and six fillies brave the perils of the Everfree Forest to locate the Elements of Harmony, Princess Celestia confides her griefs and fears in private to a stallion who is another older sibling - the only one the sun princess feels can understand her pain...

The Canterlot Chronicles: Season 1
Prev: None | Prelude: It's All Real | Next: The Long Road Home

Hearthstone, the card game which has taken Azeroth taverns by storm, meaning all the races can sit down for a friendly game, sometimes for gold, or a drink, or just for fun.

When Twilight Sparkle is walking around her castle, a book seems to materialize in front of her. After reading through it, she finds the rules and instructions to a fun looking card game. She invites her friends over that night for a friendly competition. This is where our story begins.

During the games, each paragraph represents one turn. I will be linking a gallery of all the new cards at some points. In a short while after the update for each chapter, I will add in a list of all the cards used.

Right before an exam, Twilight decides to try out Princess Celestia's brand new creation! An elevator! It sounds just delightful!
Well, it's not.

Changeling society can be cruel to those who mean well.

Even if it's another changeling. Trying to live alone is hard, but he'll

find away, or find a friend.

On a certain Tuesday, five thieves break into the Starswirl the Bearded wing in the Canterlot Archives and steal a scroll. The unicorn they deliver it to, after inspecting the goods, drops it off for the one who hired him for the heist.

The consequences of the theft could be more than any one pony can bear.

Rated Teen for drug references and disturbing (not graphic) scenes.

This is my first submission, brought about by a need to do something creative. Criticism isn't just welcome, it's requested.

The main story is set after Tirek's defeat and does not account for Season 5 or later.

The Prologue and .5 chapters are set during "It's About Time" and are meant as an amusing distraction. The remark Twilight made, "Why isn't anypony surprised to see me sneaking around in here?" is what set off a lot of the ideas.

Thank you and enjoy!

Angel suffers an attack from a timberwolf that means he has hours of his life left
All Fluttershy can do is wait by by his side
But it hurts
It hurts to let go

One pony claiming to do everything, the other longing for what is lost. When they meet, hell breaks loose.

In an attempt to get away from home and see a different world, I moved to Equestria. A lot of humans have recently, so it's not unusual for me to be here. While I'm still getting used to talking horses, I never thought about dating one. I'm still not totally on board for the whole cross species thing, but it's not uncommon anymore so I don't worry about it too much. My closest friend, a Unicorn called Twilight Sparkle, has been kind enough to let me stay at her library while I search for a home here myself. Her boyfriend, who's actually a human too, and I don't get along too well, but for her sake, I don't say anything too bad about him in front of her. But I just didn't expect things to escalate between us like they did.

*This story takes place when Twilight doesn't have wings and isn't a Princess.*
