Let's play a game. On second thought, let's not. In the zone of Equestria, on the planet Drakon, the sun never shines and the moon never rises. It is pitch black. A zone, full of mystery and intrigue. Treasures lie waiting, but so too does the danger. It's a land with no light and none have returned from its shadowed lands to tell of what lies within. And in the bowels of Canterlot Castle, a game of horror has begun.

Ponyville has changed in a hundred years of sunshine and snow and rain, of towering cloud formations, Solistice festivals, nights full of constelations and seasons full of happiness. Truth be told, many things have changed, and the Elements have faded back into myths, but Equestria still stands. The question is, will Ponyville last as well?

So, one-two generations after the Mane Six, here is the quick update:
-Celestia has a son named Crimsonleaf
-Rainbow Dash passed away, her daughter, Rainbow Dark, has taken her title as fastest.
-Applejack's granddaughter, Applesauce, looks almost exactly like her.
-A group of nomads, made up of one Pegasus, Rapture, a Unicorn, Lamplight, and two Earth Ponies, Bomberman and Thumper are showing up somewhere in this story
-Rarity's daughter is made fun of for being made of marshmallow
-Gilda has a son named Tigerjay
-Spike has a daughter named Sunrise
-Even Zercora has a daughter, named Chibi
-A hermit named Starlight has shown up in the Everfree Forest

-Twilight is old, Rarity is oldish, Rainbow Dash has passed on, Fluttershy vanished after Coronus's death, Applejack is old, and Pinkie went to Canterlot to get away from the sadness in her home and has not returned since.
-Celestia is still alive, but growing weak; Luna, due to her missed years on the moon, it just beginning to look like a mare
-Crimsonleaf's father has the gift of invinciblity; he will not die until Celestia does.
-The nomads are of average age
-Rarity had a child later, who is now the same age as most of the grandkids, give a few years
-Gilda has a Griffon's lifespan, so her child is also a young age
-Spike is still alive and well, and takes care of his daughter in the library's underground tunnels (they exist)
-Zercora's daughter is much more social than she is.
-Starlight has a secret.
-The Cutie Mark Crusaders are full-grown mares

So far, that's it.
Let the games begin.

** This story was written when I was 14, and the quality and content reflect that. Please be aware that my position on topics contained within may have changed in the time between publishing and now, and I apologize for any offensive material that I may have condoned in my younger years. **

Every species has a holiday around love. For ponies on Heart N Hooves Day, they trade their loving letter and bold kisses. For griffins on the legendary Bloody Night of Griffins, a viscious and brutal dual between all the ones who have the eye of a special bird. No rules apply here, one can be as spiteful, mean, or tricky as they like. As long as no one dies, thank you Princess Twilight for refereeing this year's event... and being a total buzzkill.

Keeping things teen-rated with this, as having full clop scenes for each winner could be fun, that would take far longer to write. And when you see certain contestants, you will see the mechanic wouldn't work... Unless you want to see a griffin do the bedroom tango with a literal ROCK.

New chapters odd number day in Feb.

This story is a sequel to A Better Place (2016 version)

Gilda does not like to talk about her relationship with her mother before she disappeared. She's not exactly one to dwell on her stupid mistakes.

But when recent even open up old wounds, Gilda realizes that she might have to deal with the harsh reality of her past mistakes and how they affected her and her mother.

And she has made a lot of "past mistakes".

rated teen for themes of kidnapping, (fictionalized) international relations, and swearing

set around the same time as Legend of Everfree, but is not directly connected to it as Gilda isn't attending the field trip.

Currently being re-written.

Gilda hates the holidays. Worst part of the year honestly right? Well those darn ponies sure just love to celebrate with their presents and ribbons and JOY. But what if one pony in particular changed her mind? What then?

This story was originally written in the holidays around 2015 approx. This is a reupload.

An idea that just kinda grew.

My name is Spirit Bolt.

I'm not special. I'm not unique. I'm not even sure why you're here...

But, here you are. What do ya wanna know my story for anyway? Off-hoof, I can think of at least half a dozen ponies who are way more interesting then me...

What? No, I wasn't gonna say 'The Bearers'... geez, how cheap do you think I am?

On seconds thought, don't answer that... sorry, where was I? Oh, right. My story....

You ever hear the expression: 'everypony has a sob story'?

Well, this is mine.

The main character is taking a relaxing break from all things he does in his free time. But then things go wrong.

This story is told from the point of view of a character. It definitely takes place in a world of griffins and characters like the ones found in Equestria but the real trouble lies in how this story will be formatted.

This story won't tell what the main character is. At least for the first chapter.

This story's chapters will attempt to not give the reader insight to the body of the main character. It is more a personal challenge right now but it will be updated from time to time. Personally I doubt this will continue for long but I plan to have it going as long as possible.

Those words from the Dazzlings hit her harder than the rainbow beam. And Sunset began to believe they're all right about her, because it's true.

But fortunately for her, someone who she least expected came and talked some sense into her.

If only Sunset could grow some thick skin and take criticism, maybe she'll find herself again.

Set during Rainbow Rocks.
