Equestria, having established friendships through Twilight with other nations around the world now has extensive trade networks. These budding, undefended trade routes quickly became favorite targets of pirates, looters, and state enemies looking for easy gains. When the Royal Guard went looking for a solution they found it in the far north. The robust Earth-pony tribe roaming the northernmost woods below the tundra did not disappoint, and the mares were augmented into a weapons platform- the NightMare. This story focuses on a very dedicated former NightMare I&T engineer and his favorite NightMare.

This story is a sequel to JTHW: Journey To Hearth's Warming


17 months ago Canterlot was ripped apart and remade, Ponyville was destroyed, the main six vanished, the princesses were defeated, and a new group the Anti-Six rose. Now what is left behind for us to find? Seeing 9 ponies on their journey to find out. 9 characters intertwined together in 17 months of living hell. See the start, the end, and then the confusing stuff in between.

This is an anthology story, with almost every 17 months getting one chapter per season. Most will get around six chapters in all so I'm guessing a series of six seasons. However, once introduced, Month 17 and Month 2 will get extra chapters between every 4 months, because their months will be covering more events.

Much like my Hoodwinked series, to ensure no overloading, each chapter will be around 1k words, including the longer stories. Plus, I will be posting three chapters each month. Seasonal breaks are akin to my Journey To Hearth's Warming series, but with winter breaks at the end of November and returning in February.

For those wondering, yes, this is a remix of my Friendship Lost. Rather instead of trying to post multiple stories at once and hoping everyone stays in the loop, I've decided to just combine them all into one story. Yeah, some plot points have changed, but some paths haven't. This means, yes, Flash Sentry will be a grey character in the future, but in the past... well you are just going to have to read and find out how he gets there.

As for its connections to Journey To Hearth's Warming. At most you are required to read Season 1 episode 3, and the Season 6 Prologue. That's it. Nothing else is required for a good while in this story.

The idea behind the cover is it's what everyone sees upon looking at Canterlot now. By taking the classic image of Canterlot and splicing it through several photoshops then pasting the strange pieces of each over top of the original and then shredding it with draw n copy n paste. It's meant to feel very very wrong.

This story is a sequel to Empress Cozy Glow


Okay, so I conquered Equestria, imprisoned the Mane Six and princesses in Tartarus, and ascended to become the new Empress of Friendship, right? Well, that was about eight months ago... Well, six months ago, I found the gem that changed my life... It is purple and has six sides, and about five or six hoof-fulls, I'd say? It's called the Guardian Amethyst and it called to me. I'm still not sure, I understand it, but I somehow just felt like I should go into that cave... That's where I found it on the stone floor... I don't know how long I stared at it, but eventually, it began to glow and spark... I don't know what it was in my mind, but I just somehow felt better and accepted just then?

I now understand that when I left that cave, I left a changed pony... And it wasn't just the new horn on my head or the fact that I now had magick for the first time in my life, but there was something else... I'll admit, being the only pony with magick in Equestria was a lot like being in Tartarus again! I remembered how the other ponies would stare at me... I couldn't explain it then, but I just felt like I had to get magick back! I had no idea how I was going to do that, though?

Eventually, I discovered that there was another artifact that would let me get into Tartarus... It was called the Staff of Opening, although it disappeared immediately after I used it! I somehow felt like I should go in there though. I needed to understand the other ponies and why they were upset with me and I knew that there was at least one pony who'd have a pretty good idea... I'll admit, Twilight Sparkle's friends were very upset when I told them that I would only take her. After all! I'm still evil! I'm a baddie! A villain! I couldn't just, let them all go, r-right?

Well, two months ago, I gave a kidney transplant to a filly in need... And that's when I realized that I had been changing! I asked Twilight Sparkle, my new assistant about it, and she helped me begin to understand that about myself... I wasn't the same filly... After having a nightmare, I began to realize that I had begun to see Twilight as not just my assistant, but as something else entirely... Something I haven't had since long ago... I saw her as my mother... You know, that was really hard for me to admit to her?

Then, an annoying draconequus showed up and used his power to free the Mane Six and the other princesses, by my command! While I'm not sure if he's really gone or not, I'll admit that made things very convenient to wrap up! But are things ever that convenient?
