After the element bearers managed to free the Pillars from limbo, all they had to do now was find Stygian, and all would be right. The problem is that they do not know where their former friend was hiding or if he was alive. Starswirl hadn’t seen his former friend since he banished the other Pillars, so with nothing to go on, the element bearers and the Pillars ventured into the far reaches of Equestria, hoping to help their friend.

Based on the idea ALoneWolf had in his take on my own story of Dictators Of Ponyville.—Side Chapter: Dreams

Fluttershy can’t awaken from her nightmare, if it even is a nightmare. Nopony knows predators and prey better than her, but she'd never truly felt like prey before. She only has to make it until morning.

Reading by Wendigo Studios

The twins Twilight Sparkle and Twivine Sparkle were raised in a nice loving home, but something bad happened to them as time went on. Is their relationship doomed to fail? Are they going to last forever?

There is an eternal longing within each pegasus as they come of age---an insatiable desire to break free from earthly bonds and soar into the heavens above.

For most, answering the call is easy. But what happens when you cannot rise to the challenge? What happens when you cannot rise above your physical and mental limitations?

For Scootaloo, this is her reality---a voice that screamed in the back of her mind as she looked enviously at the other pegasi soaring freely through the deep blue, unburdened by any lingering doubts.

With nothing left to lose and everything to gain, Scootaloo takes a leap of faith.

Written for the 1000 Words Contest under the slice of life category.

Not all changelings are the hive-minded love-sucking warriors they are known as. Some of them may have their own interests and are just so caught up in the duties of the hive to show it. One particular changeling gets to know what it is like to have some encouragement from a friend and realizes that not everyone views her interests with disdain.
