Book One in The Rainb0w Mythos

Rainbow Dash hasn't been sleeping well, in fact, she hasn't been sleeping well for the better half of a month now.  Tossing and turning at night, sleeping past her alarms, and often waking up exhausted, confused, and with her hooves outstretched as if to reach out for somepony. Thinking she's maybe just exercising too hard she tries to take it easy on herself, that is until a series of unpredictable nightmares bring Rainbow Dash back to a place long forgotten by Equestrian history.

Inspired by the music of Cult of Luna, A Pale Horse Named Death, and the author's own dreams; This is a story about the things we believe in, the things swept away by the passage of time, and the things left behind that are still there waiting for you.

The job was going well, too well not to be fouled up by something. At first I thought it would be me--it'd happened so many times before that I recognized failure as an old friend and success like a stranger in a dark alley. When she walked in with the manila folder and its precisely typed pages, I knew it would be trouble, but how far and wide, I couldn't have known.

A Farewell letter to Derpy Hooves written by Doctor Whooves, explaining why he was not there during the fall of Cloudsdale or after that in the Fallout Equestria Universe.

DanielScratchAnimations has made an audio reading of the first chapter. It can be found at https://youtu.be/tVgQLM6HrQI.

For any reader who is thinking about audio adaptations, two individual groups are working on versions. I'll attach links when they are done. I am not interested in any other adaptations being done.

When Discord is attacked in his own home, can he and the other immortals face a monster from the past. Get a look into how these immortals came to be, and what links them all together. Friday, June 13th, is a day that they all dread and fear, most hide away for this reason and don't come off as immortals. Careful, not everything is as it seems.

This is a story about love and loss, and what it takes to face a storm, even when it gets tough. Even though it sounds this way, this story isn't cliché at all, well, mostly anyways.
