Years have passed now sense the Wendigos were defeated. And the construction of Equestria's first outpost has finally been completed. The good times should be starting to begin. There not. For while the Wendigos might be gone, the old grudges between the three pony tribes have begun to reemerge, threatening to tear apart the fledgling nation before it can even truly begin.

At the center of it all is Smart Cookie, one of Equestria's original founders, as well as one of its newly appointed leaders. Thus making her responsible for finding a way to unite the three pony tribes into a single unified country. But can such a thing be accomplished when your working against generations of bullying, blackmail, and thievery between three groups of vastly different ponies? Perhaps the answer can be found with an explanation for why the the Earth Pony is suddenly seeing and hearing thunder and lightning over the horizon, when there's not a cloud in the sky.

This will be my first ever attempt at fan fiction. So please don't hold back with the constructive criticism.

Also, I'm still relatively new to the fandom, and haven't seen that many episodes in their entirety. Most of what I know has come from reaction videos and episode reviews. So please don't be afraid to point out any continuity errors in my story as well.

I hope you enjoy!

Before the Windigos arrived in Equestria, three tribes were starving for food. There was no friendship between the separate pony species, and things are only growing worse.

This story follows Cobalt, a young unicorn prince who was brought up to be selfish and cruel towards all other pony species. His life changes when he meets Dahlia, a lowly earth pony mare, and forms a tentative friendship. When his father declares war on the earth ponies and his new friend's life is at risk, will Cobalt be able to blindly turn away and stay loyal to his family and home? Or will he betray them for the mare who wants nothing to do with him?

Taking place prior to the backstory told within Hearth's Warming Eve, this story tells the tale of just how badly the relationship between the three tribes was before the Windigos arrived in Equestria.

The epic story detailing how thousands of years ago Starswirl the Bearded defeated the Sirens and banished them from Equestria, how they were exiled to the Mediterranean island of Capri, and what happened next.

“You will come to the Sirens first of all; they bewitch any mortal who approaches them. If a man in ignorance draws too close and catches their music, his wife and children will never welcome him home again; the high clear tones of the Sirens will bewitch him … you must stop the ears of all your crew with sweet wax that you have kneaded, so that none of the rest may hear the song.”
Homer

A decade after uniting with the other tribes under the banner of Equestria, there are some fading traditions that the warrior pegasi cling to. One of those is an honor foal for the most commendable female officers; an opportunity to bear a foal of their line while remaining counted as on duty, with full support of the tribe in its care and upbringing.

When Major Pansy is granted an honor foal, she sees it as a chance to offer the strength of her line to the future of Equestria, despite having let her service to tribe and country prevent her from ever having found a suitable mate. But she knows just the pony she wants for its father: a strong pony, a brave and skilled soldier, a wise commander, and the dearest of friends. Considering it, she may want even more from him than a sire for her foal.

But Commander Hurricane has always protected his emotions with a stony mask and an armor constructed so that nopony can pierce it. Especially not the one pony he holds above all others in his esteem: the hopeless soldier who once stood before him for discharge with the true spirit of a pegasus shining through her.  


Set in the same continuity as Sun and Hearth and Respect and Respectability, but neither are required reading.

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.)

Chrysalis was always a proud creature. She was proud of her heritage, of her mate, and of her changeling brood. She loved her family dearly and was considered by the changelings to be the "Great Mother". However, there came a time when that was put to the test.

It all started with the birth of three sirens.
