When one of Cobalt's closest friends, Blazing Storm, comes down with a mysterious sickness, Cobalt must track down an ancient and powerful relic to cure his disease. When they get more than they bargained for, they must help defeat one of Equestria's most ancient and powerful evils. However, one question remains: will it be too late?

Sidenote: Even though the tag says complete, I will continue to add updates to the chapters that already exist. These are things such as detail and description.

From The Vault features stories that were started, but never finished by me. Each "chapter" will be a different story that was started, but abandoned partway through. Not all tags represent all chapters, so tags will be added before each story. Some of the chapters were sequels that I never finished.

This is a side story from "From the ashes"

Its the first December 24 of the war against Starlight Glimmer's army. The insanity of this war was starting to show. Many ponies now experience their first Hearth's Warming without their family. Thus, in the middle of an all out war, a miracle happened.

"Silent night, starry night
Snowfall makes the meadows white
Huddle close to keep family warm
Tomorrow's dawn will bring Hearth's Warming morn
Now the day is done
Now that the day is done"

Merry Christmas everyone.

Spike had grown used to being a servant to Twilight in the old library; slaving away most of the day to Twilight, Rarity and Pinkie Pie. Wearing the Apron is just part of the deal.

He is always that odd one on the second row, with no real chance at anything he wanted. Even if they consider him a Hero at the Empire.

His desires are squarely aimed at that beautiful mare at the Carousel. It may be a high goal, but it is what he set out to get from his first day in Ponyville. This dream never faded, the way crushes commonly does.

One day, he found a new and odd Apron down in the basement of the castle. Trying it on more out of curiosity than anything, it leads him on the discovery of his life and Heart.

A side story to Astral Aegis

Glass Prism was a humble pony but felt the call to join the forces lead by a young filly named Aether Aura. He is one of many being in the third wave of recruites that answer directly to her. Training will be difficult but if what she promises is just beyond the veil of his world it will be worth it.

Venture into the wonderful land of a cat who hates Rarity, and most other things. Mostly Rarity.

The 1st chapter is meant as a standalone for Equestria Daily's Outside Insight Summer Fanfic Contest, though depending of the reception, I might continue the story (as if I'd get reception). Enjoy! But I'm terrible, so you probably won't.

While attending a magic conference in Canterlot, Twilight is summoned by the Princess. A crisis in the north is brewing - a clan of druids who have learned how to manipulate magic despite not being unicorns has been discovered. The damage they could cause due to their lack of control could ravage the northern lands - or worse, open a portal to Tartarus.

Twilight, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash are sent to assist an intelligence agent defuse the situation. There they meet an old acquaintance, friendly druids, and an ancient evil filled with vengeance.

Additional tag: [Pulp Adventure]. So don't expect incredible character development or nothin'. This was written primarily to get a trashy adventure story out of my system. Constructive criticism very much welcome.

Cover artwork is from the Dark Souls Design Works artbook. I honestly can't say what it is of.

A strange pegasus colt fall injured in front of the Cutie Mark Crusaders, and ask them for help with his mission: spread love across Ponyville.

Created for the Equestria Daily Writer's Training Ground #009: "Twilight Time"

Feel free to point any flaws; it's why I'm taking part in the Writer's Training Grounds, after all.

Private Silver Sword is a Imperial solider for the Imperial Pony Empire against its rival: Equestria, in their second war. During a cold winter night on the front lines, where neither side was attacking and were sitting in their respective bunkers and trenches, Silver is tasked with the winter night watch. Which was said to be the worst watch job during any cold season. He knows he's not the only unfortunate one on watch, with the rest down the dirty corridors of the trench.

No one would want to fight in the cold, let alone stand in it, but sometimes, when you do, you can see and feel some amazing things.

This story is a sequel to A Rainbow in the Rain

R loves his part time job. After all not many teens get to work at a dinner. It also is great when it rains as he is nice and warm inside.

When the heavy down poor makes people start to take shelter it's only natural that he would run into someone form school. As a blond cowgirl takes shelter from the rain R takes the chance to get to know them a little better; and to also help free her mined of some troubles.

Note: It is recommended that you read at least the first story A Diamond in the Rain as this one refers to it.
