Timberwolves: Guardians of the Everfree
_{By Blackthorn of Thicket, Princess Luna of Canterlot, and Apex of Everfree.}

This volume explores the colorful, mythical tale of the Everfree timberwolves. Part history and part study, the authors provide their experiences, discoveries, and stories. From creation, design, and communication, to the ecological impact of these golems, a full breadth of topics are explored. Each author has hoof-crafted and raised at least one timberwolf, and today the legend of the Vorku species is finally shared with the world.

After a surprise attack along her favourite patrol route, Princess Luna crashlands into the Everfree Forest, battered and broken. Outside the walls of the sanctuary of the strange pony that rescued her, the dangerous denizens of the Everfree lurk. Forced to remain in hiding while her sister secretly investigates, how will she cope under the mysterious canopy of the Everfree and without the luxury of her castle?

There is a thin line between a princess and a wild forest pony, thinner than a zap apple stem. Now it's up to Luna not to cross it.

When Twilight Stumbles upon a cave on her way Zecora's, she awakens something ancient, in fact its the reason the Everfree forest exists in the first place, so when she wakes up an enormous monstrosity half the size of Ponyville, she isn't expecting it to whine at her for waking it and saying it didn't want to go to school today.

A long time ago a prophecy was made by my ancestors, that a time would come when one of our wolf kind would be needed. A dark presence was coming toward our land, our homes. What it wanted most of all was to destroy our peaceful way of life, take our forest village for its own, and bathe the grass and trees in our blood.
But the prophecy states, if a pony can love the wolf for who he is, together their power would be enough to defeat this evil, and vanquish it back to the bowels of Tarturus from whence it came. So comes our story in the present day, when the evil looms near. Will we succeed? Or will we be doomed?

The Hakurei Shrine has disappeared. A strange thicket has taken its place, filled with an unnatural magic that is spreading rapidly and bent on disrupting the stability of Gensokyo. With the shrine maiden nowhere to be seen, it's up to ordinary magician Marisa Kirisame to bring back the shrine and its caretaker before it's too late.

Meanwhile in the town of Ponyville, a mysterious shrine has appeared in the Everfree Forest, fiercely protected by an equally mysterious mare. With the rest of Ponyville still shaken by the latest disaster, it's up to aspiring musician Lyra Heartstrings to discover the truth about the shrine and the mysteries within.

Timberwolves are well-known in the city of Equestria for many things: Their ability to combine into a stronger, united being, their ferocious nature if angered, and their existence being proof of the Everfree Forest's dangerous nature.

Diamond Tiara, however, certainly doesn't get that impression with the tiny, defenseless creature she comes across...

Timberwolves. Among the most fearsome creatures to lurk in the depths of the Everfree, these hulking, wooden monstrosities have sharp senses that make them deeply efficient at hunting and tracking ponies and other sentient beings that wander into the forest—and making sure they don't ever leave. Anypony with a lick of common sense knows they're not something to be trifled with, and any (generally ill-advised) venture into the Everfree must be done in groups and/or with extreme caution.

The new species of hairless ape that keeps falling from dimensional portals in the sky into the depths of the forest, however, seems to be entirely lacking in said common sense.

Not to be taken especially seriously. (Not that me saying so is seemingly stopping anyone.) Features implied violence, but no gore.

Pre-read by Dewdrops on the Grass and The Sleepless Beholder. Inspired by discord conversations with Estee about the common "Mandatory Timberwolf Encounter" trope in Human in Equestria stories.

If a tree falls in the forest, but nobody is around to hear it, does it still make a sound? If a Human is deposited in the middle of the Everfree Forest, and doesn't make it out alive, was he ever really there?

Most stories find our MC starting off in the dreaded Everfree Forest. but who's to say that plenty others didn't die in the very same forest?

Just a little something something to apologize for the wait for the next chapter of 1000 Years. it is complete, I am just waiting on a friend of mine to finish something for me related to the story. (no its not proof reading, I do all that myself.)

What happens when an Timber wolf goes to Ponyville for an new start on life........how will the Ponies take it when one of the most feared monsters of the Everfree enters their town for the purpose of living among them? Even worse what will happen to the little town of Ponyville when somepony starts to fall for the Wolf in Wood!

Oh boy I need an hard drink

Fluttershy has several errands to do, leaving both Angel Bunny and Discord to boil in their own spite and yearning.

Now, what will happen when an angry Angel, feeling forgotten, is believed to have ran into the dangerous, nefarious, fearsome Everfree Forest, forcing Fluttershy to go after him? Despite believing to know her way back, with glowing eyes of horrible, ghoul-like creatures watching her every move, is Fluttershy truly safe?
