Received a reading from RainbowInfinity HERE! Thanks so much.

The world was crumbling around me. I was the only one still alive, all the rest had been killed by...
Well, you know who he is.
I was going to take him down, stand on his corpse or die trying, that was what I'd been waiting for. I'd trained for it, I was ready.
And THAT, was exactly the time when the universe screwed me over, and I turned up HERE of all places.

Book 1 of the Spreading Darkness Trilogy
(If I ever finish this one, that is...)

‘A vampire: A reanimated corpse that is believed to rise from the grave at night to suck the blood of sleeping people, usually causing their death.’

~ Urban myth

A lone man awakes changed unable to remember his past and only haunted by it. As he searches for someone to warm his cold heart he will find many challenges and few friends. Yet the cruelty of his new life maybe he his undoing… Or maybe this dark ‘gift’ will be the greatest thing to ever befall him

Twilight's life takes a turn for the worse when she meets a crazed, sword wielding pony on the outskirts of Ponyville. Now she must learn to cope and cooperate with the voice of a long dead general and traitor in her head. But, Twilight's sanity isn't the only thing up for grabs.

An army of death has been building in the north and as it advances towards Equestria, it grows with every corpse. The ancient Aspects of nature have once again been revealed to the world and once again, war is beginning.

Equestria will have to rely on there princess of magic to protect them, but how can they when Twilight can't even rely on herself anymore?

It's time for another Adventure fic, and I promise that this one will have at least 50% more adventure than my last one. It will also be much darker than my last one (Still not anywhere near grim-dark though).

Crossover with the Warcraft Universe. Though to be fair, I am mostly borrow names and vague concepts from them, most of this is original content (do not steal...(joking, I really don't care what you do with it)).

P.S. the reason there is an other character tag instead of an OC character tag is because all of the characters not from FIM are re-imaginings of Warcraft characters and thus not original.

Twilight Sparkle stood on her hind legs, her forelegs to her side swaying back and forth as her scythe dropped to the ground. Tears welling up in her eyes, she looked down at the corpse that laid before her, still young, but ready to die. It wasn't her fault she was chosen for this, all because she became fascinated with new powers.

"I can't believe this."

Twilight stared over the horizon, gazing on the city of Ponyville in the distance. It's inhabitants, who once saw her as one of their best friends, now barely knew her. She could walk the streets to Sugar Cube Corner, or help her friend Applejack on the family's farm. She could even sit in her Library with Spike and read her favorite books.

But none of it would be the same.

"I am evil."

Humanity and Ponydom have now joined together in an uneasy harmony. All was mostly well. However, it all came to a brutal end when as Twilight went into the Everfree Forest, two corpses, one of a pony, and one of a human, were discovered, both at the Everfree Forest.

Meanwhile, Nick, a Human, is conflicted between love towards a certain rainbow-maned pony, and the taboo that forbids it. Ryan Jack, the mysterious human who is also Nick's friend, on the other hoof...I mean hand, have been acting suspicious lately.

A story of madponies, ruffians, murder, and mushy stuff.

Whatever unholy terrors occurred, things will never be the same.

It was supposed to be an easy way back home. Jump into the quicksand pit, go through the portal to Equestria beneath it, sneak through Ponyville, get to Twilight's Castle's Basement, go through the Magic Mirror, and before she knew it, Sunset and all of her friends and everyone they rescued from that sinking cruise ship would find themselves on the manicured green lawns of Canterlot High.

Instead, they wake up scattered around the quicksand pit, still on the desert tropical island they were trying to escape. Only there isn't a portal to Equestria anymore. And none of them can get a cell phone signal.

And then Bon Bon's phone lights up.
