When the elements of harmony are no longer needed, they disconnect from the ponies who embody them. Permanently. When Equestria falls into danger once again, who can take up the mantle in the name of harmony? Cutie Mark Crusaders Element Bearers yay!

First fanfiction on here. Big plans for this. Artists wanted for new cover art/pictures of the CMC/other bearers cutie marks. Enjoy!!

A puppeteer knows all about strings, especially the ones that tug at ponies’ hearts. And Gambeto, the King of Puppeteers could easily see the forces of division pulling ponies appart and the magic of friendship being abandoned. It was all so sad, but what could a simple, powerless entertainer of foals like him do?

WARNING: Note the tags and content.

Truth and reality, while often found complimenting each other, are very separate monsters. This observation is usually made apparent when your life becomes shattered and displaced, and before you can fit the pieces back together, you realize that you're on another plane of existence. You will then realize, like I did, that life is like a priceless vase: there will always be cracks when you piece it back together.

Anyway, the crushing reality is still with you, but the truth? The grandiose insult that comes with planeswalking is the lost sense of trueness you had with everything. You're a big walking lie, trying to make sense of it all, and there is a lot to make sense of. Those childhood tales are now trying to fillet you in some planes. Oh, and they can cast spells, too.

So, either you get power, or you run. I ran, since my chances of living were pretty embarrassing. I mean, I wasn't that bad, but the guys I were up against were ages older than me. I kept planeswalking for a good two months before I landed in a pretty, verdant, terrifying plane called Equus. That's where things got interesting.

My name is Adrolon, and I'm an emotionally-stunted-freak-of-nature going through an existential crisis. If you're reading this, the events in this journal are nothing more than a bad novel, I swear.

All story revisions, formats, literary constructs, etcetera were developed in accordance to Ezn's kickass writing guide, and the useful critique that you have provided, valued reader. Thank you.

[STORY IS UNDERGOING TOTAL REWRITE FOR THE N^TH TIME]

This is a story about friendship, light and darkness, and how sometimes even the most unreasonable sins have reasons.

Sandbar's life has been great. His friends from the school of friendship are awesome, his crush on Ocellus blossomed into a wonderful relationship and in general he's never been better.
But then a much anticipated visit from an old friend turns his whole world upside down and inside out.

I would like to say a huge thank you to my now traditional proofreader: PinkDragonJr whose help made this story look actually like a story written in English instead of my usual rather clanky pile of words.

P.S. This was originally a rewritten version of Jay David's Old Friend, No Longer which since then been merged with other stories to create the "The Young Six" anthology. Though since the original concept my story has changed a lot and now it has basically nothing to do with his original story but a few excerpt from the beginning of the first chapter can still be found which are directly copied from his work.
I debated myself for a long time whether I should change that part and the OC's name but I decided that as a token of my respect I will not. After all without his story this wouldn't exist. Of course I have his permission.

Every winter, Nurse Redheart leaves behind the sterile rooms of Ponyville General to join in a celebrated tradition: dogsled racing to the Northernmost-point of Equestria. Forming the infamous team Redjacks with her girlfriend Roseluck,  Redheart aims to settle the score with rival Lone Raider in this year’s contest: the catch is that with one sick dog, she’ll have to settle for an untrained, unproven replacement.
