Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, was being imprisoned by the great Buddha, who was managed to seal him into the five-elemental mountain. But when Buddha's seal spell went wrong, it banished Wukong to the magical land of Equestria instead. After the defeat of storm king, everyone is celebrating, not knowing a new danger is emerging. Now Wukong, with no power at all, must team up with mane six and their new friends to find the new element of harmony to save Equestria... From a new and more powerful threat...

For years, the smith was more than content. He had a home, a loving family, and the power to move between worlds.

Written as a part of my 100 Follower Special for FanOfMostEverything, who requested another Magic: The Gathering crossover. Literally nobody else participated.

For those of you who may not know, Ponyville Ciderfest 2023 was a weekend-long interactive game to decide the future of the convention itself. This was brought by writers, artists, cosplayers, editors, staff members, and countless others into a weekend worthy of the history books.

We wanted to make sure that these stories, all this hard work, reached as many members of the MLP community as possible. To that end, these are my own humble offerings from the convention's weekend. Included are the #CodeWords that were used in the Ciderfest app, as well as all the possible outcomes for each story.

I hope you enjoy, and please make sure to read what everypony had to offer.

Note: The App would allow users to enter a username, which would replace the [Username] seen in the stories. I have left them in to keep the stories in their original released condition.
