Written for the Expanding Universes 2 contest for the Quills and Sofas Speedwriting Group. The prompt was for each of us to submit a story, and then someone else would write a prequel or a sequel to it, expanding the story as we see fit. We're on Discord here if you'd like to join us.

Making a new start in a new town can be frightening: an unfamiliar place, outside the safety of home. Even with friends by your side, anything can happen.

But discovering a conspiracy that ties your fate with a secret society at war with Equestria's rulers? Dark Wind was not expecting this.

Deep underground under the farmland of Sweet Apple Acres lives a familiar group of ponies. Anypony could tell you who these citizens were; most of them were once citizens of towns all over Equestria. Ponyvillians, Cloudsdale pegasi, Canterlot citizens. They were the lucky ones. After something went wrong that caused Princess Twilight of Ponyville to snap, the ponies who made it out unscathed needed a leader.

Rainbow Dash never thought of herself as a humble pony. She knew she was awesome, and she knew that everypony else needed to know.  That's why when Twilight Sparkle was "corrupted", as Starlight Glimmer would say, the cyan pegasus not only led but started the group that hoped to bring Twilight down. Nopony really knew what happened to Twilight. As far as everypony knew, her very mind was destroyed by her own magic. 

How different are things? Can they stop Twilight? Will anything ever be the same again? It’s only a time until the dark takes over...

Originally written during NaNoWriMo of 2020 and edited a bit, this specific story does NOT include the School of Friendship in its canon and happens before Twilight’s coronation. Most of seasons 8 and 9 are not canon to this story.

Cloudsdale state, encircled by the eponymous mountains, home of the Vingols and the Stormings, the Children of the Storm. Provider of countless Royal Guards to the rest of the kingdom, with an environment necessitating early development of survival skills, and where a teenager untrained in riding a horse is viewed as strange, Cloudsdale is both home to the Children of the Storm and well-prepared to meet their parent.

After insulting each other about their respective produce, Applejack and Strawberry Sunrise are determined to show that their fruit is the superior fruit.

A Legionnaire is a mortal pony who relies only on their sword, armor, and meager magical strengths to keep them alive in the battlefield.

Against goddesses and demi-gods, a Legionnaire is nothing more than an ant.

Gallus's past is complicated, no one really knew the full backstory, and the Griffon never told anyone. That all started when Gallus was returning home from work as a Royal Guard, then, he was told that Silverstream was taken as hostage by the Storm King, who was expected to be dead after the Battle of Canterlot years ago. This drove his darkest, most terrifying side out of the deepest part of his heart.

What has he been hiding all those time?I

This story is a sequel to The Lay of Canterlot High

He was at the head of a mighty host, sergeant in a great army of the voiceless 200 strong and growing. As they marched from Our Town in the northeast down towards the capitol, their numbers swelled, seeming to double with every three towns they passed through. The air in their camps was electric, brimming with promise, with hope, the hope that the revolution might succeed. All was going so well, he couldn't help but grin.

But it was still his fake grin, the one he wore to try to cover up the screams whirling around inside him. And as they settle down for the evening, preparing for the last leg of the journey, he desperately tries to stop them from escaping, from giving voice to his hidden fears.

But in the darkness of the night, however much of a sergeant he might be in the daytime, Party Favor is still the boy who cried himself to bed with laughter, and the fears he tried to leave behind are not done with him yet.
